Growing Your Business

18 July 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

I saw the following come through on my LinkedIn newsfeed. It was posted by Sheronde Glover, M.ED. It is so applicable to our business that I wanted to share.

Quotes about taking risksEntrepreneur Growing Pains Hurt

If you think starting a business is hard or challenging, then try growing one. Ouch! I want to share a few “musts” for moving past your pain points when it comes to growing your business.

You must be willing to make TOUGH decisions.

You must be willing to PIVOT when required.

You must take ACTION consistently. Momentum breeds results.

You must be willing to ASK for help. [Read more…] about Growing Your Business

Million Dollar Maverick

6 July 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Book Recommendation: Million Dollar Maverick – Forge Your Own Path to Think Differently, Act Decisively, and Succeed Quickly by Alan Weiss, PhDMillion Dollar Maverick, Alan Weiss

I am reading a book right now that I think EVERY entrepreneur should read. I’m not done reading it, yet I wanted to share it with you right away. I checked out a copy from my local library and I will be purchasing it for my personal library.

This book contains ten chapters on being different to stand out, losing the fear of failure, gaining influence, critical thinking skills, improving self-esteem, understand the difference between pain and suffering, control over our careers and being shameless in taking credits, effective use of language for business and life, examples of innovations such as “perpetual motion attraction machines”, and feeling comfortable in your own skin (e.g., no guilt, no fear).You can read other reviews of this book here.

Why I Love This Book

I love Million Dollar Maverick because it stresses the point to stand out, to be different from all the others, and do it without fear. In direct sales, I see so very many independent consultants who aren’t acting very independent.  They’re part of the herd. Those who separate themselves from the pack are realizing amazing success.

If you only read one book this year, let it be this one. It’s also available in audio if you prefer that medium.

Why Are You Sabotaging Your Business?

23 May 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Every day on social media I see Scentsy consultants who are self-sabotaging their business. I don’t know if they’re afraid to succeed or if they genuinely don’t want to succeed.

For the purpose of this post, I am referring success in the sense of Scentsy consultants who say they want to build a business, to lead a team and reach top ranks.

These are also the same consultants who are struggling in their business but say they are trying. They say they’ve done everything they can and yet it’s still not coming together for them. I disagree. Remember there is no try, you either do it or you don’t. If they truly did everything they wouldn’t be struggling.

One person is not solely responsible for what all their team members do or don’t do. One person can’t make any team member sell or recruit if those team members don’t choose to. However, if that one person feels he or she has a team that is mainly comprised of personal or very part time users, then one person can get more team members.

Get More Team Members

Wouldn’t it be nice if it were as easy as going to the store to get more team members?  I’m not suggesting it is easy; but it is simple. With laser focus on sponsoring activities and monthly recruiting goals, one person can build and rebuild the team, regardless of inaction the rest of the existing team may be doing.

Digital Courage

3 February 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

why people are rude onlineIt used to be if someone had a few cocktails and started mouthing off, it was called Liquid Courage. While that is still true, now we’ve entered the age of Digital Courage.

People can be real a-holes online. 

I am saddened, disgusted, frustrated, disheartened and a slew of other adjectives at how lippy, sassy, snarky, rude, and disrespectful some have become on social media.

I know I sound like I’m one hundred years old talking about young whippersnappers of today and back in my day that would never be allowed.  But age has nothing to do with it. Rude is rude.

To be clear, I’m not referring to comments being misinterpreted online. I understand that can happen and we can be guilty of adding our own tone to messages. I’m talking about blatant, no possibility of misunderstanding, over the top unacceptable comments. I’m sure you know exactly the type I’m referring to.   [Read more…] about Digital Courage
