One of the most difficult things that can plague a Network Marketer is when people you know and love don’t believe in your vision of business success. As a matter of fact, I personally believe that this lack of belief is the number one killer of success in our industry.

When you run into this in your own business, what do you do?

First of all, remember that they people in Jesus’ own hometown didn’t believe in him either. In Matthew 13, Jesus found himself being questioned by those in his own country.

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?  And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  (Matthew 13:54-58)

If Jesus could be doubted with all that he had to offer, then I should expect that there will be people who know me and love me who will do the same thing!

Next, we need to understand that Jesus didn’t stay and try to prove his point to those who did not believe. Instead he continued to present his message to those who would hear. By the way, he didn’t speak badly (or think badly) about the unbelievers, he just left them to their own choices.

Finally you need to remember who you are here to please. When God created you, he created you to be a testimony of his love, his grace, and his power. Since you have been burdened (by the Holy Spirit I hope) to show God’s love, grace, and power through your business, you need to make that your priority.

If in doing what God has called you to, people don’t believe, your obligation to God’s will should take precedence. God’s word says that if you will humble ourselves before the mighty hand of God that he would exalt you IN DUE TIME!

Then when you have been given your platform by God, you need to look for ways to bless those who didn’t believe. If you can find ways to genuinely bless your current non-believers, they will come back to you. You can then be a testimony to them as well.

Don’t let those who don’t believe steal God’s will from your life!
