"But you're not a hair stylist...."โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
This is a statement I feared many people would think when I decided to partner with Monat in selling their products. (At the time, skincare wasn't a part of Monat's lineup). โฃ
I feared people would think less of me for "resorting" to social selling to make some more income or judge me for putting my face in front of the camera more and taking "selfies." โฃ
Who was I trying to kid? I wasn't super active on social media and didn't have a huge following, still don't. Who did I think I was? How could I possibly encourage others to buy hair care products when I wasn't a hair stylist? What did I know about hair? โฃ
Stick to what you "know," Allison.โฃ
โฃ
Yep, these are all thoughts I had. And ya know what? Thankfully, I realized that meant I was letting fears and lies dictate what I wanted for my future. That meant I was letting other people decide what I was allowed to do.โฃ
โฃ
Then, one day, I repeated that same statement above with a different mindset: โฃ
"stick to what you know, Allison."โฃ
โฃ
Okay, fine...what I ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ was:โฃ
โฃ
โฃโข My hair was falling out after having Teddy. It was damaged and broken on the ends. So, I tried Monat. I loved the way it grew my hair back & transformed it from "pretty good hair" to hair I consistently LOVED. โฃ
โข The products actually did what they said they would do and that was a first for me.โฃ
โข was going to buy it anyway, so why not try to get compensated for using and sharing about it, even though I had no idea what I was doing?โฃ
โข I have debt from student loans and a car payment. Also a mortgage. If I don't make a change, nothing changes.โฃ
โข I was informed that Monat pays 50 cents on every dollar back to their market partners.โฃ
โข I could start a business for $200 and never have any other overhead? seriously? YEP. No monthly quotas to meet. No purchase requirements or fees. NOTHING. Okay, this is sounding too good to be true.... except it isn't.โฃ
โข What I fear people "think about me" is actually just that: an empty fear. Guys, people truly DO.NOT.CARE. what Iโm doing haha...โฃ
