New Chapter 2012

As we bring a close to the year, I can't help but reflecting on my year. I am also in deep reflection because of the passing of my Mother-in-law. My family will be personally entering in a new chapter of our lives missing her guidance, support and presence.

This year has been a roller coaster of a year, full of ups and downs.  I said good bye to one business and hello to a new business, Blessings Unlimited and I completed and self published my first book, Direct Sellers Secrets to Staying Inspired-Your SSI.

Through everything this the year I can sum it up as a year of gratitude. I am grateful for all the wonderful people I've met, all the relationships I have built, and all of the lives I have touched in some form or fashion. I'm grateful that I'm here to share my thoughts and well wishes with you.

I wish everyone a prosperous New Year and more Blessings in 2012 than you could have asked for or imagine.

New chapters are something to look forward to and I walk into this new chapter 2012 with expectations of wonderful things.

Happy New Year & Stay Inspired!

Re-start in 2012

I realize that when we started our businesses we had a mindset of what type of success we expected. As we come to the end of the year, it is a perfect time for you to look at your business to see if you've done all the things you needed to do to make your business a success.

• Did you follow the plan your company has set for success?
• Did you spend time marketing your business?
• How was your customer service, did you follow up?

Identify three key areas where you could improve your business in 2012. Make it your intent to work on those specific areas. For me I realized that I need to spend more time in marketing my business. It was a great year  for me, writing and self publishing my first book, Direct Sellers Secrets to Staying Inspired-Your SSI. However, when I reflect on my direct sales business, I realized I did not give all the attention to my business that it deserved. One of the most exciting things about this type business is that you can re-start or re-lauch your business again.

The main thing is not to quit. You can never fail if you do not quit. Start with a plan and call your sponsor or up-line leader and talk with them. Then put your plan into action. Make a commitment to re-start in the new year. You can take action now and start to work on January party or events.

I know that you can do it and you will have success.
Michelle

November a great 30 days

When I think about a new month I always am excited about the NEW possibilities. I can't wait to see what the month will bring. November is one of the best times in business for a direct seller. It doesn't matter what product you sell, people should be excited that we are entering the Holiday selling season.

Start now working with your new business partners.  I am always amazed that some direct sellers are not excited about what the season means to your business and their team's business . Your new business partner is going to have a great start because the customers are out there. She just has to share that she is open for business. She will achieve her new beginning or great start or jump start or what ever your new consultant rewards program is called. She will be excited, you will be excited and it is a win win!

It's all about what you do now to make November 30th a day to celebrate. I can not wait to see what success you and I will have.

Now get to work.

Passion plus Purpose equals Success

When I was first introduced to direct sales I had no idea where this one at home party would lead me. I did not think that I would ever write a book about direct sales.
Direct Sellers Secrets to Staying Inspired- Your SSI  I never though I would be so passionate about the industry. Attending a home party with a table full of lotions and potions changed my life.

I've met the most amazing people because of my direct sales career. I've met, Les Brown, Martin Luther King III, Alivn Day, Jewel Diamond Taylor, Stedman Graham and many more. I've also experienced the training of the best direct seller trainers in the business.

In this industry I found my purpose to support, encourage and inspire others. It gives me joy to share my business with others because I know that they may be just like me and they might begin a journey that will change their life for the better. I am so excited when a team member says she is ready to work her business and is ready to go for the next level.

Combining my passion and my purpose has given me success. I never imagined that I would be a published author. I never dreamed that I would be given the gift to share with the world. It is a blessing beyond anything I could ever ask or imagine.

The next time you walk into your next home party, look around the room. You never know who's life you will change when you share your business. It started with lotions and I can't wait to see the next place the journey will bring me.

End of the month check in

I once had an upline leader that the only time I received an email or phone call from her was at the end of the month. She must have spent the last few days of the month on the phone with her down line. It was like clock work, I knew that she'd be emailing me and if I didn't respond I would get a phone call. 

I always wondered what did she do with the beginning of her month. LOL!

When you start to grow a team and develop leaders it is really important that you stay connected with your team and you teach your leaders to do the same. You never want a person to feel that they only hear from you when YOU want to know if you are going to get "PAID AS" their title.

I realize it's hard to juggle your personal business and support your team but, it is your responsibility once you step out there as a leader.

I learned to check in weekly with my team. Send encouraging emails and make quick phone calls just to check in. When the last days of the month roll in, you can have a call with them to see if they still are going for their goal or if they exceeded their expectations.

Lets stay connected with our teams and when it's time to make the end of the month check in calls it is a sincere call to see where they are at and if they have met the goals they wanted to achieve.

Ok now go and make your calls or send that email. 

:-)

15th of the Month

Today is the 15th of the month and you are half way there to reaching your goals this month. Do you look at the 15th as just another day or do you look forward to the 15th to track how your business is going? I would like to encourage you to schedule time each month for a 15 day check in. The check in is not only your business but for your check in with your team. Are you on track for reaching your sales & recruiting goals? If if you have no recruits, you can still use the 15th as a marker to see where you are with recruiting a new team member.

When you look at your business and if you have not made the progress you have hoped for in your month, then the 15th should be looked at a chance to turn your business around. You have 15 or 16 more days to achieve this. Miracles can happen in one day so imagine what can happen in 15! 

Get excited!

The 15th should be one date that you highlight on your calendar each month. Go look at your business right now. Save a report so you can see where you were today. At the end of the month I want you to compare where you end up based on what you saw in your numbers today. 

TGIF THANK GOD IT'S (the) FIFTEENTH!

The best training is here.

Having a direct sales business is the best training you will ever have. You can sign up on a weekend and have a brand new business by Monday morning. You have support, training, marketing, branding, packaging, shipping, and order processing all in one stop. Most people think that you only gain sales experience or learn sales techniques but there are many more skills you gain by having a direct sales business.
Public Speaking Skills
Public speaking is the first arena. Every party or show you hold at a hostess home you are gaining public speaking experience. Every team meeting you attend, when you participate with a testimonial, or offer to give a sales tip or training you are gaining public speaking experience.
Customer Service Skills
Your reorder calls or booking calls allows you to build great customer service skills. You should always want to give your customers excellent customer service. Direct sales is word of mouth marketing so you need people to have positive things to say about you and your business to help your business to grow.
Coaching and Mentoring Skills
Once you start to recruit and build a team you will shave a growing group of consultants to coach and mentor. You learn how to inspire and motivate your team. You develop skills to be a leader and help to promote other to become leaders.
There is no other industry where you get all this training while living your dreams. All these skills are developed over time while have fun, changing lives, and making money.

The BEST training is here, the Direct Sales Industry!

Direct Seller Motivation: Conversation with yourself

Direct Seller Motivation: Conversation with yourself: "We all have personal conversations with ourselves. Are you speaking positive words to yourself, 'I am successful, business is great, I am a ..."

Conversation with yourself

We all have personal conversations with ourselves. Are you speaking positive words to yourself, "I am successful, business is great, I am a people magnet."  Or are you saying, "No one is buying this stuff, I can't get anyone to book a show with me, That person is successful but it never works out for me."

Monitor your conversation that you have with yourself. Make it a practice to read and say affirmations every morning and every evening. When we speak positive to ourselves we may encourage ourselves to do things like approach a well dressed woman in the mall to give her your business card. When we speak negative to ourselves, we self sabotage ourselves and we may put ourselves down like beating yourself up because you didn't approach the well dressed woman in the mall.

This week make it a habit to say 10 wonderful and encouraging things to yourself in the morning and the evening. Then during the day when you are tempted to say something negative stop yourself and say "NO, I'm not talking down to myself I'm only speaking up to myself!"

There is a great tool that you can use. Wear a rubber band on your wrist and when you have a negative thought pop yourself with the rubber band. This way you will train yourself to stop the negative self talk. Here is a resource positive thoughts band.

Monitor your conversation with yourself and encourage yourself!
