Your Hot Button!

Everyone is motivated by something - at least the ones that succeed! Know in what gets you moving is perhaps the most important aspect in any venture.
You can't simply say "I want to be rich", that's too general. What does rich look like to you? Are you driving the car of your dreams or the one you can afford? how about vacations, the home you live in, your child's college fund.
In order for you to get out of this what you want - you must first know what you want, you must write it down, you must be patient and yes you must work toward your goals (dreams).
I know what you're saying "well I know that" - fair enough, where do you have it written down - both short and long term goals.

Association - Rubbing Shoulders With The Movers And Shakers

If you serious about your business - and you must be you're reading this blog :) you are probably attending sales meetings offered by your District Sales Manager or upline Leadership.
If you don't go, here's a few things to consider...

• You will be introduced to new products


• You will get freebies that you can either keep or sell


• You will associate with the leaders in your district - ask and learn from them


• If you're a Unit Leader you'll be setting an example for your downline (association with them is also important)


• You will become more motivated - motivation = more money in your pocket


• It's a nice distraction from the everyday grind of life (hubby, the kids, laundry etc)

I think you get the idea, it may be a pain to get ready to go out for a couple of hours in the evening, especially if you've had a tough day, but making it a priority will benefit your business in the long run.

Avon Fundraisers

We've concentrated and will be working harder at providing more fundraisers. With the economy as it is it seems that non profit organizations are more likely to participate. It seems reasonable that an individual will be more likely to support an organization if they something for their donation - and hey most folks can afford $10.00
We have noticed however, you must have some rules in dealing with your organizations, ie. no third party checks and certainly do not release the order until it's been paid for - you could get left holding the bag!
Let us know what you think about this subject via the comments at the bottom. Have you run any fundraisers and if so what did you notice?
Since the return is 30% and you have the ability to enlist a small army (those participating in the fundraiser) to assist you it can be very lucrative, and remember it'll get you closer to presidents club and the perks that go with that level.
As we work out the nuts and bolts I'll report back to you and let you know how we do it.

UPDATE

Remember this. 10% of the people do 90% of the work. That means if you have a fund raiser with 20 participants chances are only 2 will generate any money! Everyone will seem as though they're "onboard" but actually they're not, everyone assumes the "other guy" will carry the load. The result is both you and the organization will be dissapointed.
