MelissaMcCloud.net… Teaching Stay-At-Home Moms To Be Work-At-Home Moms!

Today I handed my daughter to a stranger, and even though she immediately started crying, I just walked away.

That was about ten minutes ago.

“Complete stranger” might be a bit dramatic, but it’s perfectly suited for a day that has been filled with drama.

See, the stranger was my new babysitter Brittany.

And in case you thought that I was a bad mom, I am still in the house (hiding out!).

You mommies know what being home with an infant is like: life takes place in five minute increments and you hardly have time to finish a meal, let alone a blog post!

You go from the baby swing…

To the picture book, with thick, tasty, board pages, of course!

Then to the activity mat…

Then it’s sing-a-long time!

Then maybe try to eat something…

Then it’s time for a diaper change!

And back again to the swing…

Lather, rinse, repeat!

It’s a vicious cycle that often leads to mild insanity, and lots of sour-smelling t-shirts.

And the silly part is that I love doing it!

But last month I decided that it’s time to get back into the swing of things with my business, and it was necessary for me to find a “mother’s helper” to facilitate this.

So Brittany is now upstairs with my little darling wailer, and I am here with you (the second favorite place I like to be!) so that I can spend the few hours of focused effort needed each week to propel my business forward.

Yes, hearing Caitlin scream and not picking her up is painful.

(You mothers know that nothing pulls at your heartstrings like your child’s cries!)

But to accomplish what I want to achieve in my business, I must do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable.

And so it goes in network marketing.

You are building your business to have the life you’ve never had.

And so you must be willing to do things you’ve never done!

And the skills we must learn in MLM can be downright frightening!

There’s talking to people (complete strangers!) and phone scripts and selling skills to name a few…

But you must do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable.

Pretty soon Caitlin will love Brittany…

And if you keep at it, pretty soon you will be able to talk to absolutely anyone.

Then, you will be able to talk to absolutely anyone about your business!

So whatever “uncomfortable” task is ahead of you, just tackle it NOW.

And after a couple days or weeks, you will soon be a pro!

(…and for the record, Caitlin stopped crying while I wrote this!)

Let me know what you did recently that was SO UNCOMFORTABLE… or share what you know you need to do to get out of your comfort zone to build your business.
