By Ryan Gillis
Wasting money doesn’t actually mean you are bad with money, it just means that like millions of other Americans, you spend too much money on things that can be easily made less expensive, reports MSN.com. MSN outlines the 7 most common budgetary mistakes:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
If you’re a direct sales leader, you’ve undoubtedly found yourself in a situation where you’re banging your head against the wall with one of your team members, feeling like you want success for her more than she wants it for herself.

A few weeks ago I had an aha moment. Here’s the Reader’s Digest version (and I promise, I’ll get to why this is relevant to you and your direct sales/home party plan business before I’m done). About a year and a half ago, a very close friend of mine “unfriended” me in real life. She didn’t literally say “we’re not friends any more” but when I found out through a status update on Facebook one Saturday morning that she was getting married that day (and that was the first I was hearing about it),

Have you ever taken a child fishing for the first time?
I was visiting my family in Canada last July, and watched with delight as my brother took my 4 year old nephew, Sammy, out for his first fishing experience. (It was quite amusing, to say the least!)
For example, when I asked Sammy what kind of fish he wanted to catch, he replied (with great enthusiasm) “all of them!” When my brother looked through the tackle box to find a suitable lure, Sammy insisted on using a “pretty one”.
And as we strategically scanned the lake, looking for the best fishing spots, Sammy excitedly flipped his small pole over the side of the boat (half the time the hook floating ABOVE the water) and kept watch with a hopeful look. Needless to say, he didn’t catch anything, but he certainly had a lot of fun.
As I watched him, I couldn’t help but think that his excited but haphazard approach to fishing is much like how many of us approach building a business. We often go “fishing” for new prospects without much advance planning or forethought, and (despite our enthusiasm) then come home discouraged, and empty-handed!
For example, when I’ve asked my clients what kind of prospects are the best fit for their business, they often tell me (with as much enthusiasm as my nephew) “all of them!”

E-vites and Facebook are fine, but receiving a mailed invitation is the best way to get someone’s attention and improve attendance at your home parties.
During my live “Direct Sales is Easier Than You Think” training, I talk about the importance of a great invitation for your parties. One of the questions that seems to always come up is “Do I have to mail out an invitation or can I just use e-vites or Facebook?” Great question.
