Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ditch the 9-5 job and be your own boss? Maybe you aren’t looking for a full-time commitment, but you’re interested in supplementing your income in a way where you set the boundaries.
Are you just a little curious what it’s like to change the lives of others with products you love and believe in yourself? USANA Associates have all been in that boat asking the same questions. Wondering if you fit the bill? Take a look in the mirror and see if these traits fit:
- Tenacity: How do you deal with failure? Do you feel defeated and give up, or do you brush yourself off and give it another try? Failure is a reality in business, but it’s how you address it that matters.
- Passion: People want to buy products or services from people who have a contagious enthusiasm. They’ll associate you with the product, and vice versa. Make sure that association is a good one!
- Vision: People with vision will tell you how their product or service fits into the big picture. How does it make life easier, more affordable or enjoyable? Customers are drawn to people that can express this from the heart, not a canned sales pitch.
- Confidence: Are you self-assured? Do you believe in the product or service you’re selling? Confidence is king. There’s no room for wishy-washy!
- Flexibility: How willing are you to change your approach or strategy to improve your outcome? Flexible people are willing to go with the flow. If what you’re doing isn’t working, you need to be willing to try something new.
- Rule-breaking: Surprised by this one? Only a minority of Americans are entrepreneurs, which means it’s considered a non-traditional route. Why be shackled by an unfullfilling job when you can break the mold and have more control of your destiny? Full time entrepreneurship not in the cards right now? Take it on in your spare time before and after work. Breaking out of the box just might lead you to what you’re looking for!
