March Team Meeting (Don't Jugde A Book By It's Cover)

Wow, what a success our team is achieving. More tickets sold to conference than last conference sold at this same point in time. More 50/150 producers. Just great things. One thing that I received was that there are many naysayers in the world that tell you different negative things about Amway. Many people will think differently about you if you are associated with Amway. What you have to know about Amway is that your work and desire to make your business stronger comes from the heart. If you show people your heart, they still may not listen but you know that you are speaking the truth. Don't let other peoples judgement of you stop you in your tracks as a business owner. You may not be the best looking fruit on the tree, but you will soon make the best jam!! Look at the video as proof! If you have a dream, , , Go Ahead and dream it but dream it big!

Hot and Cold Days



The title suggests that I might be talking about the weather. Well, perhaps partly. I started a new action step to creating buisness for my business.

I have a new quote on my email signature and it reads: “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

I got in this business in August. Things haven't exactly been poppin. I set goals for myself to reach certain plataeus. I wasn't able to achieve them. I wasn't being able to create very big gains. I knew I had to make a change. I am a talkitive person but when I get to know someone. It is then that I can talk my head off. I really had to put into action "me". In order for MY business to grow, I had to grow it.

If you plant something in the ground and never water it, will it grow? Not likely. You may never see fruits of your labor if you do not take care of the seedling until it bears fruit.

As a Christian, we too are charged to plant seeds and only in this case, it is God who will take care of the ground and assist the seedling in growing. We plant the seed and if done right, we can later reap the benefits of the fruit.

I had to create my own destiny. I started scouring the internet looking for opportunities. I found a few running events, 5k and the lot, a couple half marathons and a Mountain Bike Series. I chose to contact a few of these through the racing site and was contacted by the mountain bike series. On opening day, not really knowing what we were getting in to, my upline and another IBO head out to the event. We find that not only were there record numbers for their opening day, that on every Sunday they hold the race, they also have church service for the riders through a ministry called "Faith Riders". This was God's calling for me and us.

We left with 1 very strong possible IBO, 3 very good possibilities. We are working the plan now. I was hungry when we left at 1 pm and asked both Britton and Wendy Armstrong, my upline if they wanted to stop somewhere. We did and stopped at Taco Bell. Another fantastic experience. We met a family who we then talked with for almost an hour. A very good possibility for a family of IBO's here.

In this business, I have learned to continually plant seeds. I leave a lot to God and his ability to pick the right seed to germinate and grow. I remember one statement that my upline Britton told me, he said: "The only decision you have to make now is the decision not to quit". I have taken that to heart and will continue to press forward planting seeds as I go.

I have had mostly cold days in my business, but on the coldest day, 32 degrees, we went out to show our product and show our plan to those that needed it on the blustery day. Wow, what a Hot day!!
