Quixtar disappointment
By QBlog in A/QMOs
My wife is currently at a Quixtar conference near our home. She was really upset because none of her downlines showed up at the conference. I try to be as positive and supportive as I can be but I know that it just isn't the same coming from someone who is not really all that excited about the business. In part, I guess I feel somewhat guilty for not participating more in the business. I think that maybe she'd feel better if I started getting excited about Quixtar and showing the plan and buying the products (she buys them now) and stuff like that.
But I just can't do that. I can't get excited about Quixtar for some reason. And as a result I my wife feels disappointed and I feel inadequate. And then I just remember that this is just a business. I tell her that as well. This isn't some emotional Rehab, it's just business. It's not a place to make life long friends (though that can happen) but it's a place to make money. Money and emotions just shouldn't ever mix. If I got all offended every time one of my customers wasn't satisfied with something I did or didn't immediately return my phone call then I'd be out of business pretty quick. When they say, "It's just business, nothing personal" then they really mean that.
I hope this conference picks up her spirits some. Business is tough right now.

Thanks.
