- Why I Joined Monat
  June 19, 2019Hair / Join MonatI had been following my now upline Christa, from Salvaged Soul for almost 3 years on Instagram. At the time she was running her own wood furniture business, making custom pieces for some pretty high profile clients. Not only did was she a total #bossbabe, but she was also a mom to two boys, a wife and they lived on a lake! I mean seriously, dream life! Over the last 2 years I watched her journey as she joined Monat and how she grew her business and team. After just a short time she was able to supplement the income of her previous business, allowing her to spend more time with her family and opening the door to uncapped opportunities! The world works in mysterious ways… who knew one click to follow 3 years ago would have lead to my joining her team! I Joined Monat! I joined Monat May 1, 2019 with having never tried the product. Looking back, it may have been better to actually use some samples, but having learned from Christa and researching the business, I felt confident that it would all work out. When you sign up as a Market Partner, you gain access to a back office that houses a ton of resources to help you learn all you need to know about the products and how to build your business. Your first months joining should be focused on this and sharing your experience with friends and family! Since I hadn’t tried the product previously, I spent the first month trying out all of the products received in my product pack. I started with the success pack, which at the time was $399. Yes, I know I’m crazy for investing that much on a product I didn’t know personally worked. But here’s the thing, when you start any new venture there are going to be some unknowns. Even now with having used the product, there are still some unknowns but that’s part what keeps me motivated! The best part is you don’t have to figure it out all on your own! You have an upline, crossline, and a network of all of the other Market Partners within the company that are willing to share! Prior to checking out with my product pack, I asked myself 2 simple questions: “What if you fail?” It’s a lingering question in a lot of minds, we are prone to focus on the “what if” and usually it has a negative connotation. I thought about it often and walked through all of the scenarios I could think of, then answered all of them with a positive. At the end of the day I knew the only failure I could really pin myself on was not trying hard enough. “Why?” This is one question you have to ask yourself. Why do you want to join Monat? what are you looking to gain from it? Is it better hair, financial freedom. The way you answer this question will also help you to answer the first question. If your why is strong enough, you aren’t going to fail! My why I joined Monat to help support my family, to pay off debt, and to build a future of financial freedom and location independence. What I didn’t realize when creating my why, is that Monat was more than just a paycheck and it was absolutely more than shampoo! It broke me out of my shell. I wouldn’t say I’m a shy person, but I’m also not someone that chooses to strike a conversation with ‘stangers’. I suddenly had the confidence to ask the first question, often having nothing to do with Monat!! It was nice just talking with people, what’s the worst that could happen?? I said the cost to join Monat as a Market Partner was an investment. It was and still is an investment in my future, an investment in my hair, and an investment in myself. Out of all the businesses you could invest in, Monat has by far been one I’m most proud of.
