I love being a homemaker and stay at home/work at home mother. There is nothing more fulfilling than getting to watch my son grow up and learn all the new things that I would miss if I were working a 9-5 type of job. This was my office yesterday while my son was taking a nap. I was enjoying the sunshine in my backyard while getting some work done.
If you are wondering what I do, I have a shop with my mother that we sell handmade and vintage items. I also am a consultant with a direct sales company. I love both jobs and am always working at improving myself and my businesses.
The other day I was speaking to my mother-in-law and she was telling me how excited she was that she just bought a new vacuum cleaner. This was the best vacuum that she has ever used (and she has went through all of the top named vacuums). She was so excited she had to demonstrate how it worked for her husband when he came home, her oldest son was out to visit them for the weekend and she had to demonstrate for him how awesome this vacuum is and then was telling me about it a couple weeks later.
I got to thinking about this and thought that is how we should be with our businesses (whatever that might be for you). Do you share your passion with everyone you meet? If the topic happens to come up that your product meets a need, do you share that with the person you are speaking to or do you keep quiet thinking that they don't want to hear what you have to say? I know often times I don't bring up my product because I don't want to appear that I am trying to sell them something or push something on them that they don't want or can't use...then I think about the vacuum story. My mother-in-law is not trying to sell vacuum cleaners but she was so amazed at how well it worked for what she needed that she couldn't help but tell everyone that would listen to her (and probably some people that didn't want to listen) about this vacuum.
My challenge to you this week---is to go out there and be yourself and share your passion about your product. Tell the world, but do it in a way that is sharing why you love the product and how it can help fulfill a need that the person you are speaking to might have...if they don't need that particular item right now, they will know to contact you when they are in need of it.
