Hot Tip for Heartbroken Hustlers: How to Make Extra Money from Home After Losing a Prospect

Feel-Better Business Tips for Women Who’ve Felt the Sting & Still Want to Shine

🍂 So there you were... connecting with a new friend, vibing with a potential team member or coaching client in your "make extra money from home" business. You shared stories, swapped dreams, answered her one hundred and one questions and maybe even mapped out a few ideas for working together.

And then... bam. A few days later, you find out she joined someone else.

Oof. That sting? It’s real. But guess what? So is our power to bounce back... and build something even better.

Whether we’re in network marketing, affiliate sales, or any kind of money maker, online work from home opportunity… it happens to all of us. We’re not alone... and we’re definitely not defeated.

Let’s talk about it. Let’s heal. Let’s pivot. Let’s rebuild better.

🍁 It Hurts Because You Care (And That’s a Good Thing)

The moment you discover “she joined someone else,” you might feel like a glitter-covered pumpkin deflated on the porch. (We’ve all been there, friend.) The emotions rush in:

💔 Frustration.
💬 “Wasn’t I good enough?”
💭 Second-guessing.
😤 A dash of anger.

Let’s normalize this. You’re a woman who dreams big and feels deep. That’s not weakness. That’s your superpower.

As my dad used to say, “Holding onto anger is like gripping a hot potato. The longer you hang on, the deeper the burn.”

So feel your feelings. Process them. But don’t stay stuck there. We’ve got work to do... and your dream biz still deserves you.

✨ Real Talk: Your Current Team & Clients Still Need You

While you’re healing, remember:
You’ve already built something worth continuous investing in.

💗 Your teammates, your customers, your blog readers, your tribe... they’re still here.
They still count on your leadership, your passion, your sunny energy, and your wisdom.

So the question becomes:
How do we move forward when someone else made a different choice?

Let’s dive into 5 powerful, practical tips to help you feel better... so you can do better, and get back to building a business you love this fall.

1. 🌻 Pour Love into the Team You Already Have

You don’t need to “get over it” instantly... but shifting your energy toward generosity and gratitude speeds up healing like nothing else.

✨ Reconnect with your quieter teammates.
✨ Celebrate someone’s small win.
✨ Launch a mini fall giveaway or fun team challenge.

Helping someone else feel seen, empowered and encouraged brings back your inner sparkle and smile too. Like that old saying:
"Focus on the bird in your hand vs the bird in the bush."

Real-Life Example:
“A few months ago, I got a message from Pamela... she’d just lost a potential customer to someone else after answering all their questions, sending resources, and pouring in time. She was crushed. But instead of spiraling, she followed the tips in this blog, refocused on her current audience, and launched a small fall promo from home. She got louder, prouder, bolder in her online income from home social media space... 💻🍂 Within 3 weeks, she made an additional $500 in product sales. Her words?
‘I almost went to "hermit" for weeks in woe... but now I’m back in the game how to make extra money from home without chasing people.’”

💛 That’s the kind of bounce-back energy we’re building here.

2. 🍁 Build a New Team with New Fall Energy

You’ve likely got a pipeline / CRM system / email list full of fresh conversations, new followers, curious watchers and readers. So pour that creative spark into the next connection.

🌱 Water new relationships. Be that social butterfly on social media.
💬 Start a new convo. OR five!!
📩 Check in with that woman who voted on your Story Poll last week.
☕ Book a virtual coffee and re-connect with your biggest "go-getters."

This is how we raise the energy again. And remember:
“When one door closes, another pumpkin-spiced one opens.” 🎃

This is your season to rekindle momentum, start fresh, and build with confidence.. even if it felt like a detour at first.

3. 🍂 Create New Connections Daily

Every post you share, every story you tell, every message you send... it’s a chance to spark something fresh.

✨ Join a new Facebook group
✨ Offer a free tip or mini training
✨ Invite new women to a fall content challenge
✨ Start a new collaboration with your biz bestie

This season is ripe for renewed momentum. People are craving clarity, direction, inspiration, and connection more than ever—especially as we approach Christmas Holidays, Black Friday, Small Business Sunday, Cyber Monday.. our biggest sales season of the year.

And YOU are showing up with all four.

This is also the perfect time to explore other ways to make money, promote legit work-from-home careers, and position yourself as the go-to guide for women wondering how to start over or earn extra income from home.

4. 💛 Wish Her Well (and Unfollow If You Need To)

You felt a connection for a reason. That potential teammate or client wasn’t random.

But… people have free will. And in this online work from home life, that means they’ll sometimes make surprising choices.

You don’t need to unfriend her. But it’s okay to click “unfollow” for a bit while you heal.
Focus is your friend. Negativity will get you nowhere, and drama is a distraction.

Let her watch you shine from a distance. Keep showing up with class, grace, and those killer content skills you’ve honed over time. ✨

And when you feel ready, release the attachment and say:
“I wish her well… but my energy belongs with those who chose me.”

PS... If you struggle with content graphics, images for social media stories, faceless reels... use mine! I’ve put together the perfect autumn bundle for you!
Save time, stress less. 🍂

5. ✨ Turn Pain Into Purpose

That disappointment you felt? It’s not wasted. It’s data. It’s redirection. It’s fuel.

Instead of spiraling, ask:
✔️ What lesson did I just learn?
✔️ What can I do differently next time?
✔️ What kind of woman am I attracting—and who do I want to attract next?

The more we reflect, the more we grow.
And the more we grow, the more unstoppable we become. 🔥

Something meaningful my coach said to me years ago...

“Roxanne, maybe... just maybe, ‘He above’ has helped you in ways unimaginable and unknown. Maybe this ‘perfect prospect’ would have drained your energy and your time, been a negative Nelly or dramatic Debbie and caused more chaos without true benefit nor joy in your day…”

Now I look at situations like this with a moment of grace and gratitude.
Bless and release.
What has HE saved me from?
Thank you, Lord!

🍁 Final Thoughts From a Fellow “She Chose Someone Else” Survivor…

I’ve been there too, friend. More than once.
And every time it happened, I grew stronger. I got clearer.
I built deeper roots in my brand, my message, and my tribe.

So if you’re feeling that sting today…

🧡 Pour your love into your people.
🧡 Nurture new connections.
🧡 Protect your energy.
🧡 Keep building, one fall-flavored moment at a time.

You and I are NOT behind.
We are NOT less worthy.

You are just one pivot away from something better than you even imagined.

So take a deep breath.
Smile for your future self.
And keep going. 🍂
