Tip 33

Think about 5 people you would love to have on your team. Then pick up the phone and tell them that. They will feel special whether they are interested or not. Also, let's have some fun today. If you could pick a famous person (from the present or past) who would you invite to be on your team?

I would call Oprah! She is someone who has overcome challenges, has a big heart and can talk to anyone.

Tip 34

Today is the day to do something for your business that you have always thought about doing and have not done it yet. Say to yourself, "Today's the day, I am going to..."  What could that be for you?  Maybe it is..., invite everyone you talk to join you in starting a business or plan an open house, mystery hostess, get your January calendar booked, make the calls you have been putting off.  Deciding you will do it and not just thinking about what you want to do can make such a difference in your business.

I did something just a few weeks ago that I had thought about and had not taken any action to do it. I announced my training cruise in February. I have always believed cruises were a great place for a seminar, retreat and relaxation at the same time.  My theme for 2012 DESERVE (Dreams, Experiences,Success, Energy, Rewards, Value and Enjoyment) is a perfect theme for different types of training. I love cruising and thought how can I do it more often and still do lots of training to help people. Then I thought I can train in a hotel for all my trainings or I can have the ocean as a seminar location once in a while.  I decided, OK, I will call some cruising companies and see how that can happen.  It happened!  I know many of you are excited about it.  Please call 702-673-0361 for more information or message me and I will send you a flyer.

Tip 35

We have so many ways to help our customers feel special. Who are you going to call today to say Happy Holidays? Have you scheduled an open house or mystery hostess event? Have one scheduled so that you can invite people when making your calls in case they are not interested in hosting. Don't forget to do an OHPRA call. Who knows what OHPRA stands for?

Tip 36

We have had some wonderful family time! We are about to go meet friends that we met on a cruise a couple years ago. It is so nice to get to see them when we are in PA. I always love to share at my seminars that when you are out and about sharing, you may meet new friends, and they do not always have to be someone who does something to grow your business. It can and will be the same for you as you enjoy the rest of the weekend sharing along the way. I can remember sharing with Saundra that I had my own business helping people to feel comfortable sharing their business. She is a teacher and said that is an important thing to do. I suggested she look into starting her own business too. I always suggest that people look at the companies that are out there and choose something they would have a passion for. I know that when you are in the sharing spirit you can enjoy sharing everywhere with everyone too. So today's tip is to be an equal opportunity sharer.

Tip 37

Today is the day where serious shopping is going on...How can you help people enjoy this activity? What are you going to do to let people know you are open for business too? Why will people want to shop with you you? How are you letting people know that you have openings in your business, knowing people are looking for work everywhere? I love this time of year! I make it a goal to call as many people as I can who receive my newsletter to say happy holidays! I love having the opportunity to connect with everyone. Are you ready to call your customers and wish them a happy holidays too?

Tip #38

We are about to have 4 generations together for the holidays! I feel so blessed! Today,  I plan to help the youngest generation do video interviews of the oldest generation. It is going to be fun. I told the kids they can ask all kinds of questions...who knows what we will find out today. Have a blessed, safe, happy Thanksgiving! So tip #38 is choose to be happy and enjoy the special times you have with family and friends.

Tip #39

Everyone is busy getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Think about how the pilgrims felt as they celebrated their first Thanksgiving.  Then think about what everyone must have gone through to get to that point.  We are so glad that fear and uncomfortable feelings did not get in their way.  What are you prepared to do even if you are uncomfortable or feel fear to better your life and others?  Then imagine the celebration you will have celebrating your success in 2012.  Remember that you can DESERVE success when you have Dreams that lead to Experiences, Success, Energy, Rewards, and Enjoyment.

Countdown tip 40

And now it is time for countdown tip 40 and thought to launch the new year!   I am really working at being able to walk for longer periods of time.  Bob purchased a pedometer for me yesterday.  It is so nice not wondering anymore if I am increasing my daily steps.  I have something to show me whether I am or not. I also have a 9 year old cheerleader who was checking it throughout the day and encouraging me.   I am not with him today but I decided  that I will be able to tell him every day that I am reaching my goal. I got up early, got on the treadmill and walked for 20 minutes.  Even though I have a lot of pain, it still feels great!  How many of you know what I mean?  What are you going to do today to strengthen your business that might be uncomfortable but you know it will feel so good after you do it.  As far as a pedometer, we have the perfect pedometer for your business. Message me if you would like more information about it.

Tip #41

It is so nice that we all share something in common. We all want to help people. Keep in mind when someone does not want your help, your passion and dedication to helping others will fuel you to find someone who would like your help..... starting a new business..... earning products for free..... enjoying your products. Do something fun today and then share in all the natural situations that occur as you are doing it. Sharing is offering and caring is being happy with whatever they choose to say, yes or no. And after all your goal today is to have fun, and that should happen whether someone says yes or no to you. I am off today to spend some time with 3 special little people in my life. And I know that there are so many times when I am with them that I end up in so many natural conversation situations. And even when I am not with them, wow, there are plenty of times I meet people while just out and about. You can do...So tip #41 Have some fun today! Enjoy your Sunday! Share!

It is Y day!

Your business can be like a yo-yo!   You can control the ups and downs more than you know. It starts with being happy hearing a yes and even a no!  Do you only want to talk to people who say Yes?  Or do You want to be an equal opportunity sharer and see more ups than downs in your business.  Remember all the games from our Youth!  We loved hide and go seek.  We could have fun looking for people because of one word. Belief!  We believed that the person had to be there and that is why we had fun looking for them. You can do that again when looking for people who will want to say, "Yes , thank you tell me more."  In our Youth we could ask friends to come out and play, and if one friend could not come out and play, we would ask another. Yesterday's play will help you with today's yearning for success!  We all know that there is an unanswered question that we are still searching  for an answer....Which came first the chicken or the egg (Yolk)?  We know what is needed first for success.....Sharing in case someone wants to say Yes!  Hearing someone say No thank you will never keep you from success.  Not wanting to hear a no will.  Which comes first sharing with everyone, wanting to be there to help others or success?

Letter P

It is letter P today!  Who knows what I refer to as the 3 Ps?  I believe success is all about Purpose, Passion and Plan.  The three P's will lead you to Prepare each day to take action to reach your goals. You have the Power within you to make things happen when you are Persistent and never give up. Peace of mind comes from knowing there are so many Places to meet People to share your business with and so many People who will want to Purchase your Products when you share Proudly.  Allow them though to have their own Preferences , a yes or no thank you. Participate in your own business and don't just be spectator!  You are the President of your own company.  Proceed with Passion!

It is letter O today.

One word can make a difference.  You can Open new doors for Others when you share your business.  The Opportunity you can Offer to Others will change lives.  Waiting to be Organized should not be a reason to stop you from sharing your business. You do know a company that has lots of Openings.  Your company! Offer others a chance for a new Occupation.  You can be the One who make a difference in someone's life today!  Be sure to check out The Working from the Heart Tracking book  if being Organized is a challenge to you.

Here is something to think about.  Thanks Karen! 

 

"Words are powerful. Thoughts are powerful. They are both energetic waves that move out into the world and change the vibrations around us. At the start of the day, choose one word that is meaningful to you (eg:honesty, kindness, generosity, helpful, gratitude, etc.). Throughout the day, think about the word you have chosen and try to be that word. You will soon discover that your thoughts inspire your actions. It is as though you are carrying a secret gift to give away to the world. You can do this practice alone or with your family. Children love to have a secret mission. Each person can choose a different word and at the end of the day compare stories about your experiences. This is a wonderful way to stay in the present moment and be watchful."
