Happy New Year
2015
At our Spring Rally in January last year, I remember some of you sharing your hopes and goals for the year, not only did you reach them, you achieved more than you ever thought you could. Star Stylist Jo Hardy for example, began the year as a Stylist with a years experience, she said she would like to sponsor and promote to Associate Stylist in 2015. Well what an incredible year Jo has had, ending the year with a team of 11 and four promotions later, as a Star Stylist.
Moving on, I was talking to some of you in December about what being a Stylist has done for you this year, here are some of your answers:
"I've paid for all of the Christmas presents this year, hubby doesn't know yet, I can't wait until he asks 'what are we doing about presents for the kids' he wont believe it!"
"It has made me happy and given me back something for myself"
"I was able to buy myself a new car, I could never have done that without S&D"
"I can't believe how much jewellery I have, I LOVE it! and I especially love to earn it for free"
"I have made new friends that I never would have met, my social life is better than it has been in years!"
"I wasn't expecting to earn so much, so I have used my extra earnings to book a trip for the family to go to Lapland, I can't wait to tell the kids!"
"I can have a debt free Christmas thanks to my S&D paycheck"
"I have paid for next year's family holiday to Spain, our first holiday abroad as a family"
2016
Be proud of the new skills and knowledge you have acquired, be thankful for the lessons you have learned and any mistakes made, learn what you need to and move on.
Imagine your life this time next year. What do you want it to look like? How can you make that happen? What will you need?
Whether you know what you want or you're not sure, do yourself a favour and just COME TO SPRING RALLY, give your business the fresh start it deserves.
Next week I'll be focussing on setting goals, so start imagining the life you want...

Welcome to Stella & Dot!
About Me:
I am a mum of three school age children, this is my second business in this industry, I joined S&D when we launched in the UK in 2012 when my previous jewellery company closed down, I have been in the biz for about 6 years. When I first started I had babies, toddlers and another job, and to be honest, I joined to get discount on my wishlist! however after my first party, I knew that this was what I wanted to do, so I made a plan with my sponsor and quit my job within 6 months and have never looked back. I still work part-time and do about 6 parties a month.
I live in Surrey, I'm married to the very patient Mr P and I survive on black coffee and gin.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Michele
XOXO

Connect with your Sponsor
It's important to be honest with your sponsor about what you want from your business so that she can offer the right level of support.
During your Jumpstart period (your first 60 days) we recommend having a quick chat once a week with your sponsor.
Not on Facebook? You're missing out!
I use this Facebook page to do give-aways and share important information as it happens. it is also a useful forum for you to ask questions and share tips.
Even if you don't want to use Facebook for your personal life, you really need to use it for communication purposes within the team and wider Stella & Dot community.
Add me as a friend and I'll add you to the group: www.facebook.com/michele.porter1
Attend a Monthly Meeting (every month!)
Stylists who regularly attend a monthly meeting have much stronger businesses and are more likely to have longevity. Without connecting with other Stylists doing the same job, it's very hard to get motivated and inspired. Also, it's more fun together!
If there isn't one, then tell me!! I am working with Head Office to get the nation covered.
Making the Most of Jumpstart
Familiarise yourself with what you could be earning in this period and chat to your sponsor about it.
Read & Watch The Weekly BUZZ
It's a 5 minute video, once a week. Just watch it!
Stella & Dot University
Spend a good few hours in your first week watching videos and familiarising yourself with SDU.
Getting Started Guide

Hoopla!
If you want be successful and earn more money from your business, you need to go to Hoopla.
We have the best, game-changing training, not to mention cocktail parties, team parties prizes, dancing and FUN!
CEO & Founder Jessica Herrin, Chairman Mike Lohner, Chief Creative Officer (heads up Design Studio in NYC) Blythe Harris and VP of Global Training Danielle Redner will be there, they are each so inspiring and motivating, but when they get together, great things happen!

Tickets usually cost about £150 and include products to the same value in our goody bag. S&D negotiate a good hotel rate for us and Stylists usually share rooms to keep the cost down too.
