Thoughts & Ideas

that you may appreciate too!

If you are in business for yourself but not by yourself you likely have a feeling of belonging to something larger and having access to support without having a boss tell you what to do, when.  
 
This is one of the many reasons why I know that this is the only business I will ever want to be involved in.  
 
Lately my life has been very hectic. Moving to the house of our dreams has brought many challenges. House repairs; more than any new home owner is prepared for an 8 year old home and with the added stress and frustration, our children have been more sick than usual now that two of our three children are in school full time - (last year we had two not in school yet, and one that was part time.)  We've certainly had our share of hurdles and yet I am reminded of how fortunate I really am.  I'm so grateful that I didn't once need to call a boss, get supply plans into my administration (I was a teacher before this business).
 
I recently hired PK Smith as my mentor/coach.  He is incredible and has given me a true gift...a reminder of what I've been able to accomplish in 4 years while being a full time mom.  For any mom reading this now, you know how demanding it is to be a mom.  I certainly give a lot of credit to moms that are working full time and coming home to be there for your kids. I can relate to how difficult that is, as before this business gave me the option to "stop" working as a teacher, I was still in the business of trading my valuable time for money and for not being very appreciated in my career.  Working for someone else is great if you love what you do, but in many cases we feel under appreciated and stuck.
 
Now that I know exactly what needed to be done in order for me to create a 6 figure annual income within 1000 days (less than 3 years), it is something that ANY of you can accomplish also.  Here are some of my top priorities: 
  1. Stay consistent (connecting with others, following up, attend events, conference calls, 3 way calls, welcome letters etc)
  2. believe and surround yourself with those who believe in you...don't have them in your life? - find them!
  3. NEVER give up (have that mentality that you will become unstoppable) - yes there will be a lot of negative people trying to make you second guess yourself...don't listen, keep educating yourself and overcome these doubts and fears that others are putting on you
  4. be coachable - if I wanted to do it my own way, I wouldn't be where I am today.  Follow those who have created the success you want, remain open and willing to get out of your comfort zone
  5. Reach down to help people (even if they are not your personally enrolled members) Some people are sponsored by someone that isn't actively doing this as a business, don't let them be alone.  Talk with all the people that are enrolling others and reach down to let them know you are here to help. The other thing is sometimes a person that is personally enrolled by another person has a different personality - they may connect best with you or like your style best...this is a business anyone can succeed in, not everyone will do it the same way - we have a lot of great leaders to support your team...go beyond feeling stuck.
  6. Most of all enjoy the journey and always remember that you need to enjoy your time with those you love the most.  Don't build this business and lose your family in the process.  Date night, family time and personal time is still very important - be sure to make it a regular habit.
  7. Be kind to yourself.  I beat myself up just as much as most others do...thoughts such as, "I have a messy home, my office is unorganized, I didn't get the tasks done today as I planned", and so on...we are often our biggest critic...STOP being so hard on yourself - remind yourself that tomorrow is a new day! During the moments that I feel down or inadequate, I take some time out...a hot bath, read a book, shut down for the night if needed and go to bed early.  I realized this weekend that for the first time in a long time I just sat down and did nothing at all for about 30 minutes while my husband took care of dinner for the kids...when is the last time you did that for yourself without guilt? The first 5 minutes I was not relaxed at all...I kept thinking I can't sit here and let him do it all in the kitchen, and then I sat longer and told myself, YES I CAN!  It felt great.
