The Top Three People You Should Be Telling About Your Home Based Business But You Probably Aren’t

One of the first things most people in network marketing will tell you to do when starting a new company is to create a list of the top 50 or 100 people you know who might be interested in working from home. Sometimes we think of people but we’re hesitant to put them on the list because we don’t think they’ll be interested, we’re embarrassed or we just don’t feel like it’s our place.

Here are the top three people that you should be telling about your new home based business but you probably aren’t.

Your Parents

Many people would never dream of talking to their parents about working from home. Either because they don’t want them to know that they’re doing one of those “work at home things” or because you don’t feel that your parents would be interested. However, even if your parents have seemingly great jobs or they’re retired that doesn’t mean that they might not still want to make some extra money.

You truly never know who will be interested in working from home until you ask. And even if mom and dad don’t want to sign up it can still be a great opportunity for you to talk to them about the new business you’re a part of and why you’ve chosen to work from home.

Your Co-Workers

Ok so this one can be tricky, you don’t exactly want to go blabbing all around the work place about how much you hate your job and what you’re doing to be able to quit it. However, if you’re close to some of the people you work with (and if your boss isn’t around) it’s perfectly acceptable to tell them about your new opportunity. Hey, you want to quit… they probably do too!

People At Church

This can sort of be awkward but it really doesn’t have to be. Talking about business with people you go to church with doesn’t have to be something strange. Just keep it casual and make sure they know that it’s ok if they say no. As long as you don’t make it awkward they probably won’t either.

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to make money just because you’re afraid of talking to someone about your home based business. If you have an opportunity to change your life you have an obligation to tell the people you love about it.
