How do you announce a new business to friends and family?

People who started their own businesses ask themselves,

how do I tell my family and friends I started a business??

Often they experienced laughter, skepticism, and wondering if this will be a success. In the finance and insurance industry or in the different network marketing businesses, you will hear something like, “Don’t try to sell anything to me!”; “I want to strictly separate private and business.”?

Very less individuals will offer to support you and really open-minded listening, while you are talking about your new business.?

So, what to do, if you you start a new business, and your current network isn’t reliable? ?

Well, the good point is in this situation, you will fast figure out, who is worth it to spend time with and who isn’t. If the relationship?is durable, they will accept your new way, that you change. They might don’t like it, but they have your back no matter what. They might not become your client but they show sincere interest in you and your life. You know they will celebrate with you the successes without being jealous and more important, you can call them anytime if you are down.?

So, if you start this journey, observe very carefully how your current network is reacting and starts treating you.?

Let's answer the question:?

What do you say to announce a new business??

1. Formulate in a few sentences the big picture, WHY you start this business. What problem do you want to solve for your dream clients and why is this so important for you? What difference do you want to make??

Practice this part in different ways, so that you can answer questions like:?

?? What do you do for a living??

?? Why did you decide to become self-employed??

?? Why do you start your own business??

?? What do you do now??

1. Make a list of all your contacts and ?
2. think strategically, “How do I tell everyone about my business?”. Take the time an address each person individually.?

?? You might organize an event to launch your new business and invite some people to this list.?

?? Others will learn about it on Social Media.?

?? Some will receive a personal message via WhatsApp or a call.?

?? Maybe you want to send out some samples of your product or special gift cards for friends & family.?

Keep in mind, most of these individuals won’t become your customer. Few are willing to support you in one or the other way.?
