Skeptics

I will be the first one to say that my family, while most of then support me, one particular person does not. He does believe in me. He does not believe in network marketing. He is my boyfriend, and his opinion matters the most to me.

I watch him rolls his eyes at me when I talk about my business. I watch his get frustrated with me because I start "working" and zone out and neglect my chores. I offer him products which he politely turns down. I get glares when it is "us" time and i check my phone really quick. Some time i allow my business to be number 1 in my life, and he gets upset. I know it is hard to balance life and work, and i am trying very hard. I know he believes in me, just not network marketing.

When I was pregnant, he would make sure I took my Plexus products. He would wake me up at night if i forgot to take my ProBio5. He would bring me Plexus Slim made up for me with ice in it after i woke up. He was the first person to notice I was graze eating when my preggo brain took over and I managed to skip my slim that morning. I know he loves me enough to help me be the best me i can be.

Once upon a time last year, he was taking products with me. I am not 100% sure what happened, but he stopped and wont take them anymore. I saw the results in him, so i know they were working, but he just gave up and wont try again. Yes, my feelings are hurt, but its OK. I know one day he will try again, I wont give up on him.

How do I deal with someone so close to me being so skeptical?
I know he has been burnt by network marketing before. Many people have. He sees my paychecks, He sees my business growing. But yet he is skeptical. So I pray. I pray that God will allow him to see what I see, unlimited potential. I pray that one day I will be so successful that I can retire him. I trust in God. Those are the ways I deal with skepticism. I do get upset, do not get me wrong. It has been a battle the past few months as i try to get my business back to where it was before.

So, Mister Roses, that's his name in my phone, has now because Mister Skeptic. And Mister Skeptic has decided he wants to go to Plexus Convention with me in June.
1) pray for him, he has never been on a road trip with me and its a 17 hour drive.
2) he wont be a skeptic anymore
3) we will soon be a Plexus power couple.

Yes I know I sound crazy, but it is true. I believe in us. I believe in this business, I believe in these products. Better yet, I believe in me. No one can bring me down. Some days I do struggle with him being a skeptic and i allow it to hurt my feelings. But I stop and pray. Because i know this is where God wants me to be. I have other skeptics in my life and i do not allow them to bother me, I brush their uneducated comments off and block them from my life. In with the uplifting and out with negativity. I am very proud of myself and the fact that i can make my business work when the closest person to me does not believe in network marketing. It is not easy at all, and i stand up strong every single day.


Mister Roses, when you read this, know that I love you with all of my heart, and this is not an attack on you. I am just informing the world that skeptics can be found everywhere, even in your closest circle. I have not given up, and i never will.
