New Business Endeavours: Pure Romance

Well friends, I have a bit of exciting news to share with you all today! It’s official – I am now a Pure Romance consultant. You may or may not have any idea what that means. Or, you may think you have an idea of what that means – but you might be a little off! Let me fill you in, because I’m really excited about it!

So, Pure Romance is the nation’s leading woman-to-woman direct sellers of relationship-enhancement products. We (I can say ‘we’ now! AHH!) sell everything from bath and beauty products to the more private and personal bedroom accessories. I have basically been selling this stuff to friends and family for other consultants on accident by talking about how much I love Body Dew because it makes my tattoo bright and keeps my skin moisturized in the winter (something that no other product has been able to do) or by telling people what perfume I’m wearing if they happen to smell it and like it (which happens often). When I’m passionate about something I have a hard time shutting up about it – for example: all of the Aerial Silk classes that I’ve gone on and on about to anyone who will listen. When I love something I want other people to have the chance to experience it too! I’ve tried and bought products from other direct sales companies in the past but it’s either been something a bit gimmicky or something you can walk into Target and buy just as easily, for a much better price. That isn’t the case with these products, so people want to hostess parties for the free gifts/discounts and ladies want to attend if for no other reason then to enjoy a girls night out.

I took a lot of time to think about this opportunity before taking a leap of faith and signing up. I never saw myself as someone who would “Empower, Educate, and Entertain” other women. I am kind of shy! I gave myself a lot of reasons why I couldn’t do this and as the saying goes, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right”. It may be cheesy but it’s true. I’ve watched my friend (and now sponsor) reap the amazing benefits that Pure Romance has to offer over the last year or so. Staying home with her family, traveling all over, receiving promotion after promotion within the business, and building a brand new beautiful house. I’ve stood by silently, almost jumping on the opportunity several times, but always stepping back from the ledge. You don’t have the personality for that. You will get lost trying to find people’s houses for parties and freak out. You wont ever make the kind of money that these other ladies are making. But then I realized that I’ve done a whole lot of things this year that have scared the absolute shit out of me (for lack of a better way to put it!) and none of them have turned out badly. The exact opposite actually. So why not? I bet it will be totally awkward at first, but I love to teach people things and make people laugh and boy is this a good opportunity for that! I will probably get lost at some point on my way to a party but I’m betting I’ll get where I’m going and it wont kill me. And, I may not ever make the kind of money some of the other people I know make. I probably wont ever quit my corporate job to do this full time. I may only do one party a month and just pay for my Aerial Silk classes but that’s fine! I think it’s great to dream big but for me it helps to have a super do-able/realistic goal. Anything over that will feel like the icing on the cake!

The pieces are all coming together. I just received my kit and my fancy little name tag. I’ll be shadowing my sponsor at a party on Saturday and setting up my very own launch party soon! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments or shoot me an email. I’ll be setting up a blog and a Facebook page for my new little business where I’ll share promotions and events that will be happening in the future! So even if you’re far away – I can be your Pure Romance consultant (or your SPONSOR if you’re interested in becoming a Consultant)! Love that!
