Are you willing to take 2 1/2 minutes of your day for incredible growth and success in your business?

And are you willing to be uncomfortable to become comfortable knowing you will be spending only 10 hours a month at an activity that is so important to your business, which is all about helping others by sharing your business? And sharing is done right alongside your family and other activities. Then your parties are your paydays! Are you read to do 4- 8 selling events (only 12- 24 hours a MONTH away from your family) Remember-- 8 events x 3 hours--that is commuting time for some people in a month? Even doing 12 events is 36 hours a month --less than 1 traditional 40 hour work week.

Are you willing to overcome challenges to do the things you love to do? Whether you’re on top of your game or you’re in a slump, make this week the best one yet. Make it a point to meet new people, book shows, and offer your company’s business opportunity. Push through. Get out there. Make things happen. Be the champion who lives inside your heart. I know you can and you will, once you decide that you have to!

Thoughts on Cruising To Success Training Program

Just arrived home from our weekend in the Bahamas and our INCREDIBLE "Cruising to Success" experience with Ilene Meckley! There are no words to describe this weekend ... the training, the fellowship and all the fun! Looking forward to doing it again in September but in the meantime, it's UP, UP and AWAY with my business! Thank you Ilene and Bob for an AWESOME 3 days! - Terie McOmber Hynish

Just returned from a very helpful training cruise with Ilene Meckley and friends. We had a blast and shared some great ideas. I am going to put these into my Lia Sophia business and have so many materials to listen to and or read. Thanks Ilene & Bob. - Stacy Cagle

Recruiting

What thoughts come to your mind when you hear the word recruiting? Are you looking for consultants and hostesses? There are people looking for ways to add additional income to their family budget. There are people who love entertaining their friends and enjoy receiving free products. Recruiting is about helping people feel wanted, cared about and valued whether they choose to say “yes” or “no” to what you are offering them. Have you ever had the experience of being recruited outside your business? How did it feel?

Apprehensions about sharing your business with others comes from anticipation that you might feel uncomfortable about their response. Instead, decide the purpose of sharing is the same as offering, “May I help you?” There is no reason to feel uncomfortable about sharing. You will always be able to help the person you are sharing with feel good about the sharing experience, when your goal is to help them feel good, whether they need your services or not. Hold yourself accountable for sharing.

"To love what you do and feel that it matters-how could anything be more fun?" Katharine Graham
Happy Valentine's Day!  I know I am so blessed to love what I do. Thank you everyone for being a part of my goals to help everyone see that "working from the heart "is so much better than being hard at work!

I believe that using the word “try” is often a form of self-deception.   Do you ever say, “I will try to contact,” instead of simply, “I will contact”?  If so, aren’t you using a little three-letter word as an excuse to fall back on if the contact isn’t successful?  Aren’t you deceiving yourself, and giving yourself permission to fail, by saying, “Well, I tried, but…”?  Saying “I can” and “I will,” conveys a much stronger commitment to achieving our goals than saying, “I will try.”  We must always be 100 percent dedicated and committed to what we can and will do. We are at best only halfway committed if we choose only to try.
