She's back....
from Director's Retreat and ready to share the scoop!
Red Eye flights are the worse!
I am sorry it has taken me so long to report in - I landed 5:30 Monday morning from San Francisco and I am just now recovering!!! Director's Retreat was amazing - from Jessica's keynote - to the swag - to the training, it was truly a business building event!! Two of my biggest takeaways were "have more fun" and "organize". Jessica talked a lot about having more fun in our business - this is our one life, make it joyful!! She reminded us that we are blessed enough to have huge flexibility so capitalize on that! Whether that means working at Starbucks, bribing yourself with wine to do a booking blitz (personal favorite), having outrageously cute office supplies or coming up with cute and effective incentives for your team - hello purple nail polish ...make it fun!!!! On the organize front, it really hit home, as it does every year, that I need to set office hours - not just from 10 -4 Monday thru Friday, but break it down even more, reserving time for personal biz and coaching calls within those time slots. I think it is really easy when you work from home to use the "fly by the seat of your pants system" which leads in my experience to a harried day with little accomplished. I will give you an update on my schedule next week
Dear Self....
Now is the time to set your goals for 2015 ! Whether you want to learn another language, promote one or two levels, lose weight or run a marathon - I would love to hear what is on your mind!!! Everyone who sends me a picture of their goals by Friday, is entered to win the new Erin Condon Stella & Dot Calendar - a $75 value!!
January Incentive
Home Office is having a fabulous incentive - everyone who sells 1000 PQV ($1000) between 1/10 - 1/31 wins a pair of these gorgeous earrings from the Summer Collection. If you sponsor 2 peeps between 12/29 and 1/31 who go on to sell 1000 PQV in their Jumpstart, you will win the matching pendant - LOVE IT!!!
Build a team and layer your income!!!
The sponsoring special we are having this month is truly amazing, if a stylist signs up, hosts her launch party and sells $1000+ in 30 days she walks away with $250+ in cash and over $1000 in free jewels!!! Take the time to create a Red Stamp invite to the Opportunity Call and send to everyone!!! Heck post that puppy on Facebook!!! This weeks call is 1/15/15 at 3pm ET dial 1-855-749-4750 Access code 667157741. I would also suggest listening to this so you have some great words to say with your next prospect!
The Circle of Success...Book, Sell, Sponsor
The foundation, the biggest most important brick in our sparkly business house is the trunk show - after all you won't sell much without it and it is much harder to sponsor the lady next to you in Target than it is a jewelry crazed customer!! So challenge yourself to a booking blitz this week - I personally like to light a candle, shut my office door, pour a glass of wine and not let myself out until I have spent an hour reaching out! Funny thing is, once I quit procrastinating (a personal saboteur) I get really into it and go longer than the hour. I challenge you to do something really kind to yourself and your business and schedule your own booking blitz - keeping in mind it takes 10 no's to get a yes! Need more? Jump onto one of the Home Office sponsored Booking Blitzes - there is an All Stylist one 1/15/15 at 5pm ET 1-800-747-5150 access code 6977091, and a New Stylist Jumpstart one on 1/14/15 1-855-749-4750 access code 661881056
the winner of last week's challenge is Heather Sparks!!! Heather, caffeine is on the way!!!!

One more thing....
I have been going back and forth in my mind about starting my own Facebook page for my team - on one hand it is a great way to communicate...on the other hand some of us are on a lot of pages and it could just be more noise....let me know what you think.
