No Mary Kay post today. Hubby and I were at the Browns game. They lost, sadly, but Brady Quinn is a great quarterback! Write more soon!

Marketing ME

This has been a long time coming. I have been wanting to share what I have changed in my business to get the better results I’ve been experiencing since July. There is a combination of different factors that led to my productivity. The biggest has been consistency. However, before one can be consistent, one must have tasks to do consistently. I was always stuck about being consistent because I never seemed to have enough leads to work with (or so I thought). There was also the problem of me getting stuck in my own head listening to what some call “the committee” rumbling and grumbling about all that goes wrong and ignores what goes right. Recently, I have quieted that committee and found some confidence in myself and in my business. Know what I did? I figured out how to get leads! (more…)
Temptation Tuesday: London Broil

Because I’m blogging daily this month and I want to have material, I’m trying some new things. One thing I’m doing is a Tuesday Meme called Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. It’s a weekly recipe hosted by Blessed with Grace.
I used to have a page called “The Kitchen,” but it didn’t seem to fit. I always wanted this site to be about balancing life and a home based business and I’m trying to come back to that original theme. Doing this should help get me in that direction. Instead of having a page for recipes, I’m going to have a new category called none other than, “The Kitchen!” I’m starting with one of my favorite recipes even though I’m not much of a steak person. My husband likes this one lots. If you want to participate, go check out Blessed with Grace! (more…)

Holiday Sales Are All About SERVICE!

Since the holidays are literally just around the corner it is time to think about holiday selling and still working through the hussle and bustle of the holiday season. I’ll admit, in the past I have always been intimidated by November and December. The first year I was working my business I did a craft bazaar at a church and when I called the leads many were too busy due to holiday plans. This year (5 years later) is different! For the first time I am READY for the season and will take control of the situation. (more…)
Retreats, Validation, and a Comeback

Wow! I’ve been away a long time. I apologize for my extended absence. On the one hand, I was busy working my business! 
On the other hand, I was also dealing with CFS. Basically, I’ve been working my business consistently since July and the extra oomph has been wearing me out when coupled with my day job. Fortunately, I have put myself on a vitamin regimen and made some simple lifestyle changes (more sleep) and I’ve come out of my little funk. It’s great to be back!
