You Asked For It

PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens, this is one of my favorite sayings. What happens after you PUSH? What happens when you get the answer you asked for or  an opportunity presents itself? Are you ready to act upon it?

A single mother who is out of work, needs to have a job with flexible hours, needs to make money right now, and you present her with your direct sales business. You explain you have a great sign up special this month, where she can get started right away with a minimal investment. She can make her investment and even more money with her first party, or order or auto ship within one month.
The SOMETHING HAPPEN is here! OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING! Now what?

You can see it for her but she has to have the belief in the product and herself. Your job is to lay it out as clear as possible to her and leave it on the table in front of her and she has to decide, Yes or No.

Opportunities are never missed, they are just passed on to someone else. There is someone else waiting to hear about this great offer. If she doesn't take it, believe me there is someone else. You have to believe that. You have to know that what you have to offer is best thing since sliced bread.

She asked for it and you've got the solution, now its up to her to act.
   
Some people spend a lifetime PUSH-ing but they don't realize they need to take action after the  SOMETHING HAPPENS.

A Cheerleader

In the 10^th grade I decided to join the High School booster team. Being a booster was so natural to me. I am great at being the BIG voice for others. I love cheering others on.  I love to encourage. The interesting thing that I realize now, is that I did not want to be in front of the crowd like the cheerleaders. I believe that I was afraid to be out on the field. I was happy being in the stands and singing all the cheers! I really didn’t want to try to do a split. 

When I started my own business, I learned that you do have to be a booster and encourage others but most of all you have to become a CHEERLEADER for yourself. You have to step in front of the crowd to get your business out there. You have to have the right steps, the right cheer, and the Big voice to work your business. 

I'm now in front of the crowd. I'm not afraid of having eyes on me. I want people to hear and see me so they can know what I have to say and share with them. Even when the crowd is silent you have to keep up the cheers for yourself. You have to keep doing the steps that are going to get you to win the game. 

Get you Pom-Poms out and start doing the steps!

 

Now I’m the cheering team, the starter for the team and the coach.

Recognition

When was the last time that you saw your name in lights? How did it feel? Was it like a big pat on the back or a warm embrace? I am someone who loves recognition. Just to say great job! We see all that you do and appreciate you! That is such a powerful thing.

You never know when one of your team member is doubting themselves or feeling down. We all have doubts.
When you acknowledge their hard work, congratulate them on sticking to their goals or just saying that you appreciate them, that is priceless.

I remember receiving my first congratulations card in the mail from my upline leader. She had picked such a lovely card and it was so touching. I kept it in my box of mementos from the business. It is so funny, that card was something simple but, it meant so much to me.

Send out a card and email to a few of your team members today.

Don't wait- Celebrate

Are You Contagious?

Contagious; "causing or likely to cause the same reaction or emotion in several people".
Does that describe you? Are you so excited about your business, about your product, that other people can't help but get excited with you? I want my passion about my business to be CONTAGIOUS. I want people to be so INFECTED with my belief about my product. Then they can't help but want to be a part of my business. I'm it will be CATCHING , that everyone I come in contact with becomes a business partner or customer.
Can you imagine if you cause an OUTBREAK! Everyone is talking about, everyone got to try it, can you just imagine?

You passion about what you do and your product should be the thing that you are sharing with everyone. Don't cover your mouth, let them CATCH IT! Don't keep it to yourself, SPREAD IT!

I want to be CONTAGIOUS!

Invest In You

Have you ever paid for a business coach? Have you ever invested in a training seminar or class that was not sponsored by your company? Do you seek out industry experts and listen to their training calls, attend their conferences?


 How much would you invest in YOU for your own personal and sales development?

I remember that a group of us wanted to go to a seminar in Chicago. We lived in New York, and the seminar early bird price was about to end. I was waiting on the group to make a decision and book the flights. In the mist of trying to get a consensus  of what we were doing, I realized I had to invest in ME with or without the group. I went on the website and registered. I then I told my business partners I was registered and I was making my flight reservations that afternoon.

When I called the hotel for the conference rate they told me they were sold out. I thought "Oh no, I don't know anyone in Chicago, what am I going to do!"
After my initial panic I went on line and looked on one of the travel sites. I saw that if I booked the airfare with them they could get me into the same hotel where the conference was being held at a cheaper rate than the  conference rate. Once again I booked it.
I knew that I had to be at that training. I knew that there was something for me personally and professionally.
Sometimes you have to Invest In You!
Two of my business partners ended up going with me and we had a great time. The conference was worth every dollar I invested. It helped me bring on new team members by the end of that month.
I believe it was a powerful lesson for me to not to wait for others and to put myself and my business first. Invest In You! It will be worth it.

What's Your Theme Song?

What is Your Theme Song? What song to you hear that changes your mood
or motivates you? You can be in the middle of a challenging day and
when you hear it, your mood just shifts? To me music helps me get
motivated. I've been having a few bumps in the road in my business but
this morning it the sun was shining and it was unseasonably warm, I
put on my ipod and then I heard my theme song for the day!

"Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo. The words hit me like a brick... "Cause
she walks like a boss, talks like a boss, Manicured nails to set the
pedicure off, She's fly effortlessly...She's got her own thing, that's
why I love her Miss Independent, Ohh The Way we shine, Miss
Independent"

He was talking about me LOL
It reminded me that I started my business to have my own money to be
independent and to be my own boss.

I was so pumped up, I played it all day. My new Miss Independent
attitude helped me stay focused today. I had a 1 on 1 spa appointment
with a prospect and she signed up, so I helped someone else become
Miss Independent too!

If you don't have a theme song find one today or you can share mine!

Spending Time

Are you SPENDING your time with your future in mind? Are you staying focused on growing your business? Do you SPEND time on coaching and personal  and business development?
Or are you SPENDING you time watching what happened on Atlanta's Housewives, or Dancing with the Stars?

When you SPEND on something you want to make sure it has value. No one spends their time or talents and even money on something that they can't see the value in.
Sometimes it's OK to SPEND on something frivolous sometimes. We all do that! So if you SPEND your time on an hour TV show make sure that's it! Everyone indulges once in awhile.

SPEND time on things that you will get a return on, your faith, your family, your friends and your business!
Priceless!

I am Sold Out

You must have faith in what you do, the company you have invested in, and most importantly in YOURSELF. I am SOLD OUT, my mind is MADE UP. I believe in my ability to gain wealth with the help of my direct sales business. I believe in the products I help promote and the company that I have partnered with.
This is a great industry, but you have to have rock solid belief.

You will come into contact with many people who could not do what we do. They can not take the NO or Not Now. They take it too personal. So many people wonder how do we do it. They would like the extra money but they don't want to work for the extra money. You have to know, that you know, that this is the best industry and the best opportunity for YOU.

I am SOLD OUT and I love being in direct sales!!! 

1 more day

Your order helped me, just one more day.

 You didn’t know that your business helped me stay in business for just one more day. Your excitement about my product reminded me what I have to offer. Your trust in me made my day. It helped remind me why I birthed this business. When you called me I was so grateful. When I saw that order in my computer system I was blessed. When you emailed me to confirm your order I was inspired. I know you will be happy with your order, with my service, with my product. I know that referring me to someone you can stand by your recommendation and your decision. Because of you, I was motivated and it helped me to continue on this journey, just one more day.

Thank you, I was so happy to hear from you. You made my day!
