Solicitation

I have achieved my 1+ hour of building today by focusing on my Tupperware business. When I got home today, my business kit was waiting for me. I took it in right away, started unpacking it, and just now finished everything I wanted to get done with it tonight. Other than familiarizing myself with the basic kit and getting my bag partially set up, my main goal was to get an email out to my family and close friends letting them know about my new ventures. It was a doozy, and I've actually been working on it for a few days.

I'm not a sales person. Yes, I have worked in retail, and I have even been the "sales counter girl" for a warehouse. I still do not do well with cold sales or even like engaging in that kind of marketing. But the bottom line here is I need to do SOMETHING for my financial well being, and that means I need the support of my loved ones. Even if they never buy anything from me. Even if it's just good thoughts. Even if they don't finish reading the email and only download the pics of Char Star. I do feel some sense of guilt at soliciting them to check out my obviously money/sales based ventures and websites. I have never done anything like this before, and I'm not sure I worded anything right, and it felt really long, but that's what I got. I laid it all out there, concisely as possible, and without begging. I'm simply giving them the opportunity to give what I'm doing a look-see. And that is truly all I can ask. Some of them have already participated in the Tupperware online party, but I still wanted them to know WHY I'm doing this. And hopefully more of them will at least tell me they love me and hope it all goes well.

Everyone starts somewhere right? I've opened up my door locally, now it's time to cast a wider net.
