First, you have to change your way of thinking. Honestly, positive thoughts can make a HUGE difference in how you succeed in your business.
I also sell through a home-based business (Pure Romance) and the start up has been tough, but its starting to pay off now! Are you ADVERTISING?? put flyers up at spas, salons, grocery stores, local gym women's shower rooms?? Have you bought postcards and sent out to local places? Do you have business cards that you can pass out to ANYONE that you talk to (cashier at the store, lady in an isle at Target, leave one when you pay your bill at a restaurant)
These little things alone can help generate interest in your business!!!
Vistaprint.com can be your best friend....free business cards, free postcards, etc, just check their free section. Then all you pay is for shipping! There is no gimick and i order all of my advertising products from them.
Good Luck and stay motivated! It's just like any other job,y ou will get out of it what you put into it, so make the extra effort and do some legwork while your kid is sleeping at night or whenever you can squeeze in a couple extra hours of work a week1
