Choices 2 (too)

Greetings,

I received this today via email, the author was not noted...

Choices

Every cause has an effect. Every choice has a consequence.

If the consequences that come your way are not what you desire,
there is a reliable way to change them. Simply make different choices.

Fortune and misfortune are not random conditions.
They are the result of choices.

The seeds you sow, from moment to moment, from day to day,
are the seeds that will grow. The choices you make will determine
the consequences you experience.

Though that may at times seem like a burdensome responsibility,
it is in fact a glorious opportunity. For it gives you the ability to
point your life in whatever direction you choose.

The choice is yours, in every moment, every situation, every
dilemma, every decision. Choose a life that is full, with meaning,
with joy and with purpose.

~Author Unknown

What is YOUR Choice?

You have the option to accept life like it is, or make a choice to change your future!

What if...

Greetings,

What is stopping you...

...from moving forward? Often it's the 'what ifs' in the back of our minds that hold us idle. We need to look at both sides of the 'what if' monster.

What if... (negatives)
  • What if I lose money?
  • What if I can't sell?
  • What if I fail?
It's true, you may worry that you'll lose your invesntment if you can't work the business and feel like a failure.
But...

What if... (positives)
  • What if I earn money?
  • What if I'm trained and selling comes easily?
  • What if I succeed and my wildest dreams become reality?
Let me tell you....
You won't earn money and your dreams won' t come true if you sit on yer buttox...You have to take a chance.

So...
...if you don't take a chance you may be asking yourself in 1 year or 5 years 'What if I DID start my own candle biz?'

Free training, free support, to grow...
...your business as the pace you wish! As a member of my team you will not be left behind as my goal is to help YOU succeed.,,,

You must be a Product of the Product...

Greetings,

To be successful in this industry you must...

...become a product of the product. Now what do I mean by this? I simply mean you must USE the product, love the product, have a passion for the product.

Belief shines through to others...

If you BELIEVE in the product line you represent this will reflect to others. People will FEEL your passion for the product, they will see the joy in your face and expressions and think 'hey, this person really has a passion for this product - maybe I need to look a little further!'

It's ALL in the attitude...

It's true, if you go into a business expecting failure - guess what? You will fail. However if you go into a business expecting success - guess what? You will succeed. Why? Mind over manner.

Failure

If you are expecting to fail, you are not giving your business 100%. You are simply sitting there waiting for 'failure' to happen, and not surprised when it does. By expecting failure, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Success

If you are expecting to succeed, you are giving your business 110%. You are active, you are living the business, you are waiting for the success to happen. You are joyed when it does. By expecting success, you are setting yourself up for success.

Negative Thought

Thoughts are 'things'. They are 'reality'. If you sit around thinking 'I can't do this' - 'I can't sell this.' - 'I'll never get a team.' Guess what, you are right! You attract to you what your thoughts project, and if you are projecting negative, you are going to get what you ask for!

Positive Thought

Again, thoughts are 'things' and they are indeed 'reality'. If you sit around thinking 'I CAN do this' - 'I CAN sell candles' - 'I WILL get a team'. Guess what, you ARE right! You will attract the positive things to your daily life, you will get what you ask for.

So, if you LOVE your product...

...then this business can be the foundation to something bigger and better than you've ever experienced. If you can be a product of the product, burning our candles, loving our candles, being excited about our candles - then you are just the person who I am looking for!

Like I noted yesterday, this topic keeps popping up!

Greetings,

Law of Attraction/Power of Thought

Yesterday I mentioned that this kept coming to me in various ways, emails, websites, words - well again today I got an email as listed below...'Chance?' I think not - I attracted it to my experience....

By Enoch Tan

Have you ever wondered whether your beliefs reflect reality or create it? The answer to the question is realized in understanding the concept of objective and subjective reality and the difference between the two. Most people believe that objective reality is made up by the physical laws that govern the universe. The laws of gravity, thermodynamics, electromagnetism are some of those laws. But the truth is that even the physical laws themselves are governed by higher laws of reality.

Quantum physics states that everything in the most minute level is actually pure energy that is conscious, intelligent and living. This energy is directed and governed by consciousness itself. Therefore the physical laws of the universe are actually governed by the mental laws of consciousness. The physical is ruled by the spiritual.

Now although we know that mind rules over matter, that does not suffice to say that we can go ahead and attempt to defy the law of gravity by jumping off a cliff just for the fun of it, without a real and strongly justifiable purpose of doing so. This is where some people misunderstand the truth and why they go and do stupid things which land them in undesirable consequences.

The physical laws of the universe are not governed by the mind of a single individual alone but by the universal mind. The universal mind is the infinite intelligent consciousness of God which is connected to the minds of every single living thing in the universe. It is the universal mind that determines whether a physical law of reality is subjugated by the mind of an individual or not.

In the event where a person manages to defy a physical law of reality, it is because he/she is in harmony with the will and purpose of the universal mind. That is the reason why miracles happen in this world where people are saved from certain death or experience divine providence and empowerment.

So objective reality is the spiritual laws of the universe. That which is immutable, unchanging and constant. It exists whether you believe in it or not, that's why it is objective reality. It is not subjected to your individual mind alone but by the universal mind that is greater and above all.

Spirituality is defined as "belief in those aspects of reality that are not of this world or this material universe." But all reality is truly spiritual in essence.

Truth is opinion that conforms to reality. Reality is that which is so whether anyone knows it or not and whether anyone likes it or not. Thus, truth is based in reality, but reality is independent of opinion. The modern notion expressed as "my truth, your truth" I automatically translate as "my opinion, your opinion," and the assertion that we each create our own reality is an example of what I refer to as "fantasy".

Beliefs that reflect reality are beliefs in objective reality. They do not lead to its creation or uncreation.

As for Subjective reality, it is the aspect of reality that you have immediate and direct control over because it is made up by your thoughts and interpretations of your experiences. It is the inner world of your mind. Subjective reality can be influenced, transformed and shaped by you. That is why it is subjective reality, it is changeable according to your beliefs.

We know that the world within governs the world without. Your thoughts literally control reality. We can have control over the whole of reality by following the spiritual laws of consciousness. Hence we can govern all subjective reality by using the power of true objective reality.

Subjective reality is subject to change since it is temporal. You can choose to believe differently about what you are observing and cause reality to change instantaneously or over time. Beliefs that create reality are beliefs in subjective reality. They have the power to create, perpetuate or change reality.

There are things you do not have to believe in order for them to exist. They already exist in the universe anyway. Believing causes them to manifest in your experience according to the Law of Attraction. Disbelieving keeps them away from appearing in your individual reality. They may exist to others who believe but not to you.

Everything you experience is the result of your thoughts whether present or some time in the past. You can explain everything that has already happened to you through this paradigm. Was there something already within your consciousness that made these words appear in your reality as the manifestation of your own thoughts?

The purpose of having this understanding about beliefs and reality, is to enable you to choose authentic beliefs that serve to empower you and create the reality you desire. Understanding brings you power. You now have greater a understanding of belief so you have greater power than others in using it.

Enoch Tan aims to help people achieve higher awareness in living and experiencing life. To impact the world in the biggest way possible. To change lives and to create possibility. To revolutionize the way we understand the mind and reality. Because that is what governs every area of life, destiny and the universe.

Enlighten your life, make your dreams come true!

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you are correct."

Greetings,

Quote by Henry Ford

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you are correct." Henry Ford
Back to the Power of Thought
The words in that statement keep ringing true. I have to tell you, the power of positive thinking, the power of thought, the law of attraction - these keep popping up in my life in various places. "Signs?" I think so, it must be more than merely coincidence...

The Celestine Prophecy
I kept hearing of this book. Then my Mom told me I needed to read it. I totally forgot about it and was at the book store. All the books were lined up with the bindings showing, I did not know what I wanted, but had an urge to go to the store. Then BOOM 'The Celestine Prophecy" was the ONLY book on the shelf showing the cover. At that moment I remembered how it kept popping into my daily experience and then how my Mom told me to read it. I read it within 2 days. An amazing book on the evolution of the human thought process!

Ester and Jerry Hicks
Several years ago my 4 year old was being quite a challenge, my Mom had sent me a CD series from an Abraham/Hicks presentation she had gone to and a segment was talking about someone with a 4 year old girl, she thought it would help. At that time I listened to disc 6, segment 4 and applied it to my life. It changed my whole life with my daughter - an amazing turn!

A year ago...
After reading The Celestine Prophecy I was drawn to the old stack of CDs. I decided to listen to the entire CD series and WOW there it was, all about the Law of Attraction. I then purchased 2 of Ester and Jerry Hicks Books "Ask and It is Given" and "The Power of Deliberate Intent". WOW WOW.

Positive Thought
This is popping up in magazine articles, movies, random emails. I could not get away from it if I wanted to (I don't!). The Universe is telling me something, and I AM finally listening!

The Secret
A few months ago I got a random email to watch a movie on Google, I clicked the link. It was being called "The Corporate Secret". I was GLUED to the entire hour and twenty six minutes. I laughed, I cried - then Esther Hicks was on the movie! WOW WOW WOW Another 'sign'. After watching this movie I was in awe. It's all within reach, you have to BELIEVE to ACHIEVE. There truly is no one stopping anyone from achieving what they want. It is all within.

The kicker...
We hear it all our lives. "You can do it if you apply yourself." "You can do it if you believe you can." "Nothing is stopping you but you." It is like 'yea, yea yea' to most people. It was to me. I was like "if I can, then how come I can't, how come I don't, where is it?" We don't see us achieving, so we think we are not. What we don't realize is that WE are stopping achievement from happening with negative thoughts.
So then...
After watching this movie, I start hearing about it everywhere. Yahoo Groups, Message Boards, even a local Meet Up group. WOW WOW WOW WOW I found the website, http://www.thesecret.tv. I BOUGHT the movie a few days ago. I will watch it again and again and again. My one viewing from someone who put it up for free on Google is changing my life. I can't wait to immerse myself in it again and absorb more.

This may sound so...
...far fetched. But let me tell you, I am finding that all those who are at the top of this company. At the top of most companies know this 'Secret'. Not in the movie sense of it, in the physical and reality side of it. The movie brings up many, many HUGE names in history and their FAMOUS quotes. It all ties together. A switch is clicked. You will WOW. I've not heard of one person that was not affected in a positive way by this movie. THOUGHT has POWER. THOUGHT creates. THOUGHT manifests. If you BELIEVE and FEEL what you want, it must become reality. It is LAW, the LAW of attraction.

It is life changing...
Many do not realize how much negative thought is in their lives. This is how it works. Say you get a bill in the mail and think..
"I want more money to pay this bill..." at that very moment your wish is coming true, it is 'in the works' by the law of attraction BUT then the next moment you think...
"oh jeez, I'll never be able to pay all my bills" you just beat the drum of a negative thought making that negative thought over-ride the positive one thus 'blocking' the allowance of good things. SO voila, you are stuck in a rut!

You must BELIEVE
Why did you read this specific blog? Something brought you here! If you want to believe that you CAN create the life you've always wanted, I'd love to coach you on how you can make this happen....

WHY you think you CAN'T, WHY you CAN

Greetings,

WHY you think you CAN'T

When we come into this world, we are curious children, nothing can stop us, we have no fear, no boundaries - other than what we are taught. Curious by nature we explore and take chances. Fearless by nature we expore further and take MORE chances. Then we are told 'no don't do that, no you can't do that, stop doing that you'll get hurt, don't climb so high you'll fall, don't touch that you'll get burned, don't eat that you'll get stick, don't - no - don't- no...." We are in essence 'programmed' to accept that we cannot do things. We naturally start thinking "I can't do that...." Some people even stop 'trying'.

The thought process

Unfortunately some people carry this with them through life. The curiosity for trying new things is gone. The fear of trying new things is in stone. They no longer have the fight, the fire to try something new. They are fearful if they try something new they will get hurt, fall or get burned....So they don't, they stay right where they are in their 9-5 job, same schedule, day in, day out.

Now is it really you 'CAN'T' or is it really you 'WON'T'

Though you may have been 'trained' to be the way you are, you CAN break OUT of this pattern of being stuck in the 'I can't' rut. Now try this. When I was little, jeez, probably into my teen years my Dad would always say something. It stuck in my head. Even though when we grow up and hear it we hate it, it does sink in. Whenever I'd say "AHH I can't do this oral report in front of the class!" - "I can't pass this test!" - "I can't 'this' or 'that'..." My Dad would stop me and say "Hey princess, replace 'can't' with 'won't' and it will change your thinking. It's true. Saying you 'can't' is basically stopping yourself from succeeding. You are inhibiting your growth, you are ceasing the flow of success to you. Using 'won't' just shows you how negative the word 'can't' really is. Every time you want to use the word 'can't' say 'won't' instead.

For instance....
  • I can't replace my income = I won't replace my income.
  • I can't have financial freedom = I won't have financial freedom.
  • I can't be home with the kids - I won't be home with the kids.
  • I can't go on vacation = I won't go on vacation.
How true it is, by saying you can't you ARE saying you won't because you WON'T let it happen!

Ease up this is WHY you CAN!
Simply change your thought process. (What?) Yes, I said change your thought process. (Whatever!) That is just the exact 'I can't' attitude I'm talking about! You shot out with 2 negatives there, now let's make those 2 negatives a positive, okay? Follow me...
Is it I CAN or I WILL?

Now let's kick it up a notch "BAM!" Change your thought process to I CAN... I CAN take chances, I CAN be curious, I CAN try something new. Good, feels great huh? Now think of something you've been saying you 'can't' do....Maybe write it down...Now write it again and say you CAN do it. Feels good? Now that's a move in the right direction. Now again change your thought process to I WILL... I WILL take chances, I WILL be curious, I WILL try something new. Your heart should be beating a little faster, feeling a flutter of excitement within. Now write it again except say you WILL. Now you are floating huh? This is because you are ALLOWING it. Affirm this message to yourself every day. "I CAN and I WILL because I ALLOW it to come to me!"
Positive Thinking

I simply cannot reiterate enough how important it is to think POSITIVE! Our negative thoughts are weaker than postive ones, so use positive thoughts to over write the negatives. It may seem far fetched, but once you 'get it' you 'get it'. It's the Law Of Attraction, it's popping up everywhere. Books, movies... Why do you keep seeing it pop up? Watch for the sign and learn about it - it will change your life!

Use Positive Thinking in every aspect of your life...
...you can either program youself to fail "I can't/won't" or you can start re-programming your life for success "I can/will". You make the choice! If you'd like to learn more how positive thinking has helped me grow my home based biz, let's talk...

The biggest 'why' of all...


Greetings,

My biggest why...

...is my daughter! I worked F/T outside the home and missed her first 3 years of life. Well, that's how I feel! First roll over, first tooth, first step...

From the time I was pregnant...

...until my daughter was 3 years old I searched and searched for a way to be home. Finally in the Spring of 2002 I just walked in and quit. It was the best thing I did and I never looked back!

Catching Stars!

Things are coming into place, stars are within reach, dreams are coming true. I LOVE working at home, getting up early, waking up my daughter, eating breakfast together and walking her to school. I know she gets there safe, and she knows I'll be there to meet her after school to walk home too. It is such a joy to be here for her, not daycare, not after school care - ME! MOMMY!

Other great reasons...

...about working at home. I don't have to miss work to go to the dentist, I don't have to take on of my sick days if my daughter gets ill.
  • I am my own boss!
  • I set my own schedule!
  • I create my income!
  • I have valuable time with my family!
If you are looking for a way to work at home...

...let's talk!

My home business helped me make a new friend...



Greetings,
Meet Bodhi, my newest friend!
My home business helped my family get Bodhi, a pure bred, AKC registered Boxer from Champion lines. Isn't he handsome? He is a Classic Fawn, those wrinkles are just so kissable and his super short fur feels like velvet!
If I did not work at home...
...a Boxer would not have been a good fit for our family. Boxers need lots of interaction and attention - and WOW does he get a lot of it! I can see a huge difference in his behavior vs dogs of times past. In 1995 we got a Mastiff/Lab puppy, my husband and I both worked full time so he was alone for over 9 hours a day and we just felt horrible. I can't imagine leaving Bodhi alone for that long! No wonder why at 6 months Bear ate our entire couch (literally, down to the wood frame). I'm older, wiser and I've done my breed research!
Because I'm home with puppy...
He is already 95% potty trained! He is only 9 weeks old and the only accidents he has are if I don't see him asking to go outside. Our previous pooch was not fully trained until he was about 16 weeks which is pretty average. He also will come by name and actually understands the 'sit' command already!
Proud Puppy Mama
I am honored to work at home and feel so blessed, Bodhi is truly a fur angel and this candle lady's new best friend! He sleeps at my feet in my home office, follows me, talks to me, listens to me - what more could I ask?
Would you like to earn extra cash for a new friend?
You CAN make your dreams come true, financial freedom, more TIME for the things you want to enjoy!

Greetings,

WOW - August flew by!

I can't believe it was the 10th when I posted last ~ whew! We've been pretty busy around here!

New Puppy

On the 12th we got a new Boxer Puppy - he's been keeping me pretty busy entertaining (playing and giving toys), training (potty OUTSIDE!) and intervening (no don't eat that!!!).

Daughter's Birthday

My gorgeous princess turned 8 this month - talk about time flying! She had a birthday party with family and friends from school - a wild and crazy afternoon!

Mom in Town

My Mom came out for a week from Santa Fe, we were going, going, going! It was a lot of fun, I wish she was still here!

School Starts Monday

My kiddo will start 3rd grade on Monday (double WOW) so the summer has come to an end and it's time to go crazy for the Fall/Winter/Holiday candle season! Whoo hooo!

Playing catch up!

Now that the dust is settling, time for me to catch up on house cleaning and my favorite thing - my candle business! I have a million-and-one things to do!

I love it!

I enjoy setting my own schedule, so I can do what I want when I want! What a true blessing!

Do you want to have your own personal freedom of time?

Hole In One!


Greetings,

Hole in ONE!
You know that feeling, when you get a hole in one? EVEN if it's just mini golf, you shout out a little hoot and dance a little jig... That's how I feel every day when I wake up!

I LOVE what I do!
It is so easy to get out of bed when you are excited about your business! I can't sleep in any more, the sun rises and I'm up! I head out back in the warm summer sun and water my garden, growing up with beautiful flowers, herbs and some veggies too! Our grass is lush and green (thanks hubby!) It is such a blessing with panoramic mountain views and clean air!

After I enjoy my gardening...
I boot up the computer to start the day! What an easy commute! Down the hall, no traffic except for a sleepy husband merging towards the shower or dog herding me towards the back door. I make my smoothie, sit down and get to work.

Are you looking for your 'hole in one'?
I'd love to show you how you can make every day feel like a hole in one with your own home based business!

11 words that say it ALL

Greetings,

A little inspiration...

While watching a little TV the other day I was enjoying a show about the Forbes Top
100. Someone asked Donald Trump tips for success and he said....

"Work hard, never ever give up and enjoy what you do..."

So simple, yet so true!

I have always told people that you have to find your passion, work hard at it, and never give up.

Work Hard: Success does not come 'easy'!

Never, Ever Give Up: There will be bumps in the road, just keep on going no matter what or who is being a 'bump'.

Enjoy What You Do: Your passion will shine through, love what you do, enjoy what you do. You should be having FUN while making money!

Are you a hard worker, with a drive to succed and looking for the 'thing' that will make working at home fun?

If so, let's talk!

How Exactly do you EARN in Network Marketing?

Greetings,

Evaluating The Opportunity to EARN

The most common question I hear is "How much money can I make?" The question is important, and definitly a fair question - but it's not an easy answer by any means. When own your own business as a distributor for a Network Marketing company - you don't get paid a 'salary' you are paid based on your efforts.

Same Amount of Time, Different Results

There may be 2 people putting in the same amount of hours per week, let's say 15 hours for instance. One person may be making thousands per month, the other hundreds. Same hours, but why such a difference? The effort applied!

YOU get paid on YOUR efforts

This is the way you earn in Network Marketing, for instance, with our candle company - you have several ways to earn:

  • Your personal sales: You sell your product, you earn money. The amount of money you make depends on how much product you sell.
YOU get paid on your TEAM's efforts
  • You personal team's sales: If you decide to build a team, by showing others how they too can earn profits selling product - you will earn an income based on their retail sales each month.
  • Your team's, team sales: What if your team members decide to build a team? Let's say you sponsored Sally onto your team, and Sally sponsored Fred. Now you get paid on 2 levels...
Do you see the simplistic beauty in this? You show others how to build a business, and they do the same! What if you had 100 people on your team? What if you had 1000?

No Ceiling!
As you can see the income earning potential is limitless, and there is no glass ceiling. There is no one or nothing stopping you from achieving total financiall success. You build you business at the rate you desire.

Let me train you...

If you are considering a home based business, I'd be pleased to train you to build your business at the speed you want to the size you want.

Have you 'had it' with your job and being J.O.B. ???

Greetings,

What is J.O.B. ?

Many of you work your butts off at your job - just to be J.O.B. ! Now what exactly is J.O.B. ?
This is a term meaning...

J ust
O ver
B roke

Which describes a huge amount of people in the US that are working paycheck to paycheck, working and working and getting knowhere - running at top speed on the treadmill of life.

How can a Home Based Business Help?

A large percentage of people who start home businesses are looking for only a few hundred extra dollars per month - which is easily attainable on a very part time basis. A few hours a week could easily earn you a few hundred extra dollars per month. Many who achieve this goal in a short amount of time get inspired, set bigger goals and go for a thousand dollars per month. Many, whom are very driven by the burn to succeed - actually quit their 'job', quit being J.O.B. and start working their Home Based Business full time replacing their previous job income and far exceeding their income and making financial freedom a reality.

Benefits of a Home Based Business

Simply becoming a distributor for a home based business, you are entitled to amazing tax deductions.

Part of your mortgage/rent
Part of your utilities
All business supplies including products purchased for inventory
Gasoline
Vehicle
and so much more!

(always consult a tax advisor to make sure you take the correct deductions! It is advisable to use a tax advisor experienced in small business. You literally could deduct thousands per year!)

Many people dealing with the J.O.B. start seeking ways to bring in extra money - and they stumble across the home based business market.

How is a Home Based Business different than a job?

You are your own boss, you set your rules and most importantly - you set your pay scale. At a traditional job, you get paid hourly or a salary. When you have your own home business, you choose how much you want to make by setting goals and making it happen. At your job, even if you stay there for years and years - you'll only get a small 'raise' each year if you're lucky! If you own your own Home Based Biz and want a raise - you simply work to achieve that raise, any amount - it's up to you and your efforts!

No limit, no glass ceilings in home based business...

The income potential is limitless when you apply yourself to a home based business in the Direct Sales industry. No one can stop your success, except for you yourself! If you have the burn within - the drive to make it happen - I'd love to work with you to help you CREATE your prosperity.

Let's CREATE!

How can Network Marketing Work for YOU?

Greetings,

Ways in Which Network Marketing Can Work for You

Anyone can succeed in Network Marketing, age, sex, race, creed BUT you have to have a lot of DESIRE. It is important that you think of yourself as a business owner - not an employee!

It works if you really want it to work for you

Dream BIG, desire mightily and do the necessary work. What you put into your business, you will get out of - if you belive in yourself.

It works if you have the right attitude

If you think you can or if you think you can't - both are true. You will manifest your feelings, so FEEL your success and make it happen!

It works if you have a solid belief system

Believe in YOURSELF
Believe in your PRODUCT
Believe in your OPPORTUNITY

If you saw this business and thought "I can do that!" You are on the right path!

Know your Hot Buttons

What is your WHY for wanting to have your own business?

Financial Freedom?
Opportunity to Travel?
Time with Family?
Be your own Boss?

You can make a little, you can make a lot, it's up to you...

Some join a company for an extra $100/mo.
Some join so they can pay for a new car.
Some join so they can have total financial freedom and unlimited income.

Set your goals, put them on paper and make them happen.

You must be willing to learn...

Why re-invent the wheel when someone has already done the hard part? Utilize the training and tools provided for you!

That's why I'm here...

I am here to help you create your prosperity...

The Power of Positive Thinking

Greetings,

In home business, 2 negatives to not equal a positive!

Recently on a home business message board I frequent, a thread was started about being stuck in a rut. People were posting that they just could not move forward and wanted to 'give up' on their home based business. One thing I noticed in all the posts were the negative words used over and over... couldn't, wouldn't, can't, didn't, frusterated, bummed, gave up.

None went upline...

A few of the posters wanted to give up on their various businesses, and none had spoken to their uplines. If you ever feel lost in business, ALWAYS go to your upline for support. Your upline is there to help you succeed and has no way of knowing you need help unless you tell them!

It's not those around you, it's YOU

One of the posters mentioned that their fire was put out when their family was not excited about their new business. She said it 'took the wind out of her sails' because they were not doing the happy dance along with her. She let their negative response to her new business push her 2 steps back to the point of wanting to quit. When starting a new business, the fact is not everyone is going to jump for joy and feel your same excitement!

Let your excitement shine through!

Don't give up, even if someone does not jump in and buy a product from your company, or give you amazing props for starting a new business - don't let them 'marsh your mellow'! Use that energy, spin it around and propel yourself forward!

My Story, maybe you've experienced the same...

Back while trying other companies I always approached my 'warm market' co-workers, family and friends with my products. Then I'd try a new business. Then I'd try a new business. People got wore out by the fact that I kept changing my mind - it made me look wishy washy! I felt like they wondered 'how long will she stay with this one' hence their lack of excitement for my newest business venture. I heard the comments, 'oh ANOTHER new business?' - 'so how long will you do THIS one?' - 'oh jeez you did not succeed at the others, you won't at this one either'. Brutal huh?

I challenged myself!

Instead of crawling into a hole and giving up, I decided I'd show them! I used that 'hurt' to make my business happen!

Positive Thinking

If you BELIEVE it you will ACHIEVE it! This is most important, you have got to, hands down, no ifs - ands - or buts about it, BELIEVE in yourself. It is so simple to talk yourself out of a good thing because you don't believe you will succeed. You have to tell yourself you WILL succeed.

Positive Affirmations

Speaking positive words every day, will help you achieve positive thoughts that equal positive results. For instance, make a note and stick it on your bathroom mirror.

"I will succeed, failure is not an option"
Simply reading that day after day will put forth a positive thought instead of a negative one!

You must remember...
Building a home based business takes time, energy and devotion. It won't happen overnight, and I can guarantee it won't happen without effort on your part. The magic money fairy does not start sprinkling you with money until AFTER you've done the leg work to get the money flowing your direction!

I BELIEVE anyone can ACHIEVE success...
I believe, I KNOW that anyone who wants success in home business can achieve it. I know people who make 6 figure incomes in almost every single company out there - so there is no question it can be done.
The question is - do YOU have it IN you?
  • Do you have a burning desire to work at home?
  • A burning desire to make it happen so the kids are not in daycare?
  • A burning desire to have extra money each month and financial security?
  • A burning desire to fire your boss and set your own hours?
  • A burning desire to retire early and ENJOY retirement with money?
It CAN happen!

5 Essential Characteristics a Company MUST have...

Greetings,

The 5 Essentials 

Company Check List: There are 5 essential characteristics that a company must have to survive long-term in this industry. Take note and see if opportunities you've tried before and you might find that one or more of these areas were missing or lacking, thereby reducing your possibilities of success. See how our Candle Company stacks up to the 5 Essentials.
  1. LOW UNIT COST - In other words, a broad segment of the American population must be able to afford these products.
  2. IT MUST BE HIGHLY CONSUMABLE - You must be able to make a sale and have the product get used up or consumed and re-purchased over and over again by the same consumer.
  3. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CERTAIN MYSTIQUE OR EXCLUSIVITY - That is to say you can’t run down to your local Wal-Mart and buy this same quality of product at the same price or less money.
  4. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT TEAM IN PLACE - Proven leaders who have been there done that, and willing to bring on qualified people to build a worldwide company.
  5. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADEQUATE PROFIT MARGIN - To fund both the company and the distributors network.
How do the companies you are researching stack up?

Benefits of a home based business...

Greetings,

Which Scenario Describes you?
  • I work Full Time or Part Time, and like my current job - but I'd like to do something on the side to bring in some extra cash each month.
  • I work Full Time or Part Time, and I'd like to eventually fire my boss and work 100% from home.
  • I am an at home parent, looking to bring in some extra money.
  • I am unemployed, can't find a job, and am looking for a break.
What is your WHY?
Owning a home based business has many benefits, no matter your current situation! Everyone could use more money, but what is your 'why' for wanting to work from home? You can have one, or more than one: I want to work from home so I can...
  • ...be home with the Kids
  • ...build a Savings
  • ...buy a Car
  • ...buy a Home
  • ...have a nice Vacation
  • ...have personal and financial freedom
  • ...home business tax advantages
  • ...quit my J-O-B
  • ...set my own hours and working schedule
  • ...spend more time with my family
Financial Advantages of Home Based Business
Owning a home based business gives you many financial advantages. You can write off or deduct many items on your income tax return! Examples of items you can deduct are...
(always consult your tax advisor to check your State's regulations)
  • Inventory purchased for the business
  • Marketing expenses
  • Postage used for business purposes
  • Supplies, i.e. office supplies, pens, papers, computer, printer, printer ink...
  • Milage used for business purposes
  • Part of your house payment
  • Part of your utilities for the house
  • Internet/Phone charges
  • Domain Registration/Hosting Fees
  • Health Insurance
According to the Small Business Administration Research Bulletin: The Small Business Economy 2004
"...Home-based businesses are a rapidly expanding form of business in the United States. A February 2004 study by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers indicates that approximately 1 in 10 U.S. households operate some type of full- or part-time home-based business...."

According to The Success Factory International
"America is in the midst of an extraordinary workplace transformation, the home-based business phenomenon shows no sign of slowing down."

Between 2005 and 2010 consumer marketers will begin to see new potential growth coming from the millennial generation consumers, the babies of the 'baby boom' generation born from 1977 on. This year the leading edge of the millennial generation turns 26, the age corresponding with first marriage. With marriage, these consumers will begin a predictable pattern of home and family-directed spending. These life stage changes can mean renewed growth in the candle market in the years ahead."

What you don't know CAN hurt you!

Greetings,

Don't be afraid to ask...

When you are considering or have recently started a new business you must ask all questions that come to mind. Your upline is there to help you grow your business! Ask anything and everything you can think of. Make a list, add questions as they pop into mind then ask away! I LOVE when I get lots of questions, it shows me how serious someone is about the opportunity.

I can honestly say, those who have asked the most questions - are those who are doing best on my team! They have taken the time to educate themselves so they can move forward. If they get stuck - they ask and I answer - easy as pie!

There are NO stupid questions!

I am a firm believer of this 'rule'. A question is a question because it needs an answer. If someone does not know the answer, it is important no matter what. There are no dumb questions, no silly questions, no stupid questions! If you have a question ASK and you will RECEIVE an answer!

What you don't know CAN hurt you!

What if you had a burning question, and you did not ask because you thought it was silly? What if you thought you should be able to find the answer by searching the back office or the message group? What if you tried but could not find the answer? What if this question was so important that not knowing the answer held you in place and did not let you move forward in your business. What if because you did not move forward in your business - you just quit? That is a painful reality in home busiess...people quit because they don't know the answers and feel 'stuck'. Always ask!

No support?

Often those same people say "well I quit because had no support..." Often it is not lack of support, it is lack of letting the upline know you need support. Team leaders are often managing teams of large amounts of people - they need to work with the teams to give them what they need. If leaders don't know you need help, then how can they help you?


Can't reach your upline?

How have you tried? What tools does the company give you to reach your upline? When new members join my team the first thing I do is make sure they have my name, email address, website URL and home office phone number. Our corporate websites also have a convenient link in the back office that shows the upline name, email and phone number - so team members are never without this information. It is now in their hands to make an effort to establish contact!

Email and Phone!

Please never feel like a bother to your upline, we are here to help you succeed! Email, phone, do whatever you can to have your questions answered because they ARE important!

3 Things to Be SUCCESSFUL!

Greetings,

Just the other day someone in my upline sent an inspiring message to our group, below is a partial excerpt from the the message:

**************************

"The three things you MUST have to be successful in YOUR business -

Desire - you have to have a burning desire. It's hard for me to explain this if you don't have it and if you do have it, you know exactly what I mean. You lay in bed at night, tingling with the excitement of what you have your hands on. For me, it gets me BACK out of bed for an hour or two in the wee hours, because I can't sleep and am excited to do things. And, because this is inspired action, when I go back to bed, I fall right to sleep and wake up rested, ready to do it again. My husband thinks I am nuts, but he appreciates the efforts!


Willingness to Work
- I guess that goes along with getting up at 2am, ha! No, you don't have to, but you MUST be willing to actually work your business. Take action steps to move you forward. Nothing great comes without some effort. Check your "Willingness to Work" meter and super charge it if you need to.


Teachable Spirit - Are you truly coachable in this business? I wasn't in the early days. Boy, I am now! Do you read something in the training manual and think " I'm not doing that." OR do you neglect to get on coaching calls, or read at all? Again, check your "teachable spirit" meter, and decide to make a change if it's not registering high. Great things await you if you are willing to make the effort. "


*********************************************

She summed it up with the following...

*********************************************

"You - YOU are the one who determines what your income will be. YOU make the difference. YOU determine it for YOU, I determine it for me. Either way, it comes down to you!


Bad news - it's YOU who makes the difference. Some people don't want to take responsibility for their success and want to blame others for failures.

Good news - YOU can make the difference! It's your desire. You must go through a process to get there. Understand the process. I mentioned that on Monday's call. UNDERSTAND and accept that there is a process. You can speed up the process through your efforts. Know the process!"

**********************************************

So what are YOU going to do for YOUR business?

$100 or $100,000 - we all have the same TOOLS

Greetings,

Rome was not built in a day...

Almost everyone knows this saying and it is so true. You know what, much of it still stands today. It took time to build into an Empire and part of the empire still stands for you and I to see today.

Rome, Home Business - huh?

The reason I mentioned Rome is because it is very much like starting a home based business. You cannot wave a magic wand and with a puff of smoke have a successful business pouring in tons of money. It takes time, blood, sweat and tears to build a successful business Empire. There will be the good and there will be the bad - but you need to conquer and overcome the fears and objections that hold you back.

We all have the same tools...

A member on my team shared with us the other day how we all have the exact same tools for our business. It is true, it's not like some of us are using nail guns while others are using a regular old hammer and nail. Everyone in this business has the...

EXACT same tools.
EXACT same products.
EXACT same compensation plan.

Nothing is different, no matter where you are in the United States YOU have the exact same tools to build an Empire that those before you have used to build their 6 figure Empires. There are no excuses, but the ones you give yourself.

We are all equals when it comes to this business! Your success depends on YOU and how you run your business.

Our team offers you all the training tools you need to create your Empire:

Email Training
Phone Training
Interactive Chat Training
Online Documents and Downloads

If you are looking to build an Empire, please contact me today so we can discuss your Empire, how big you want to make it, and how fast you want to get there!

Your success = equals = my success...

Greetings,

Beautiful day here in Northern Nevada! I got up early, processed some emails, send out some CD/scent sample packets and dropped the kiddo off at school. I then headed into town to meet one of my fellow team members. She is a vendor at a big event this weekend and she borrowed a few supplies from me to fill up her display table.

I am very excited for her, this is her first event and it is a local oldies car show with lots of traffic! This will be a great way for her to launch her new home based business. She's been doing great so far, and this will give her a turbo boost!

As a team leader I help my team succeed in any way I can as my team's successes = equal = my successes. The more their businesses grow, the more my business grows - so I am devoted to help any of my team members who want to succeed!

I'd love to help you have a successful home based business as well. If you are considering starting a business, please don't hesitate to contact me so we can discuss how this business can work for you and how I can help you reach your goals!

Call your leads! (promptly)

Greetings,

I cannot stress enough how important it is to contact your leads. I have learned my lesson - a few times already. I supposed I needed to be **bonked** a few times with it before I 'got' it!

Here is an example...I had a lead come through my marketing website on Thursday 5/4. She also called my toll free line and left a message to call her after 7 pm CST. I printed the lead and noted to call her 5 pm PST which would be 7 where she lived.

I got side tracked and did not call. Then I told myself, I'll call her Friday. I was out all day and - forgot. Then I told myself "oh I can't call her on the weekend, I'll call her Monday...."

Well today I was out and about today (Sunday) and when I got home I checked my caller ID. She had called my home office. So this lead has made 3 attempts to contact me - am I NUTS?

I picked up the phone and called her immediately! A lovely lady who had attended an event on the other side of the US a short while ago. The consultant who represented the company did not give her any information when she asked about the opportunity so she headed to the web on her lunch break at work and contacted me.

She was very excited about this business and knows as a fact she could do amazing and fun event hostings! She would love to replace her current jobs (yes she works 2!) and have more money to spoil her darling grand son. I want to help her make it happen!

So here is the part where I need to emphasize to call the leads promptly. She told me since she had not yet heard from me - she contacted another distributor today. So now I have a risk of losing this fabulous lady! 100% my bad!

At this point I can only hope I made a connection with her. She is a charming and fantastic lady, I do hope she partners with me. Wherever she lands in this amazing company, I wish her well.

I have learned a valuable lesson on time...Contact leads, contact them quickly!

Have an amazing day!

Why training calls are important!

Greetings,

If you've ever been in Direct Sales before, you know they hold training conference calls. You, like me,
may have found these calls to be kind of a pain to try to get to. It is so easy to make up excuses as to
why you cannot call in...

"It's at our dinner time"
"I have to put the kids to bed"
"That's when my favorite show is on"
"Saturday? I'll still be sleeping!"

Today I made our Saturday Training call, hosted by the first Director in the Company. Astounding, inspiring, uplifting!

She shared ideas on how to...
  • boost business during the summer months
  • local marketing ideas
  • web marketing ideas
  • methods for mailing out to prospects
  • pre-prepping for the Fall candle season
  • keeping in tune with one's self with reading self improvement books
I have not made every single call in the past, but each time I make a great call like this one it really inspires me to be on the next!

It is so simple to make a 30-45 minute call fit into your schedule. It is worth it to have a successful home based business. This small chunk of time will add to dollars over time, so it is valuable time, well spent.
I highly recommend you do your best to make the corporate training calls, they will dazzle you, inspire you and lift you to levels never thought possible.

If you are thinking about joining a home business, please email me for a list of Opportunity Calls. There are several each week held by the Top Guns of the company!

Once you join our team, then you will get the schedule to the fabulous business building, business growing training calls.

"See' you on the calls!

Important: Will your team leader be there when you need her/him?


These days when seeking home based businesses people tend to 'sponsor shop' for a team leader who fits their lifestyle and personality. I feel this is important and fully encourage it! So as you are deciding if you want to join the industry, you must feel comfortable with the person who will be your upline aka your 'mentor' in the business.

While Sponsor Shopping here are some things you may want to consider:

What is your Sponsor's WHY? Why did they join, what do they want to accomplish with the business? What are his/her goals? Are they in tune with your 'whys' and 'goals'.

How many hours a day is your Sponsor available? Do your hours of availability coincide?

How accessible is your Sponsor? Can you readily reach them by phone, email, etc.? Do they return your call/message in a timely manner?

Is your Sponsor well versed and trained in company operations? Does your sponsor know the answers to your questions - or can they quickly get you an answer? Are they familiar with the product line, the pricing, the comp plan?

Do you get along with your Sponsor? It is always good to do a 'phone interview' chat with the person you are considering joining under. Do your personalities match or clash? You want someone whom you are comfortable with, it is well worth a call!

What kind of training does your Sponsor provide? Does your sponsor have the means to teach you what you need and want to know? Will you do retail sales or team build? Can they help you with all ways to earn with this business?

These are just a few things you will want to consider while choosing a Sponsor in the industry.  I always tell my team members when I joined, why I joined, how my business started, what it has become and where I plan to go with it. This way they can get a feel of who I am and how I can help them reach their goals in the business.

I fully believe that my team members' successes equal my success. So it is 100% in my interest to help them succeed in this business.

I dedicate myself to help my team members accomplish their desires!

Have an ENLIGHTENED day!

Alethea Anderson
