Daily Wins

Have a daily win. These are words I’ve heard from NSD Kathy Helou time and time again. What does that mean? What is a daily win? It’s essential to keep going in this business. If we don’t find a positive aspect in our businesses each day, we will lose the drive to keep going. Having a daily win is essential to staying focused and determined.

So, this is what I’m talking about: my current goal for November is 30 faces. I believe this will keep me on track for 3+3+3 program. The monthly goal needs to be broken down. So, I need to schedule to see 7-9 faces each week. Let’s say in week 1 I hold 3 classes and see 10 faces. In week 2 I have a class postpone and another cancel and I hold a facial. I have to hold onto that facial as a positive. If my daily goal is $100 in retail sales and I miss it one day and sell $40; rather than despair that I have “only sold” $40; and how could I have not sold $100. I need to embrace that small victory. That is a daily win! Had I not made the $100 goal, I most likely would have sold nothing. $40 is much better than $0!

Always get excited about the things you accomplish! Do not allow yourself to get caught up in what didn’t happen. This can cause business paralysis.

Training Tools

Mary Kay, Inc. as well as many directors and NSD’s offer training tools to consultants. These tools exist in the form of DVD, CD, and books. The Learn MK Media Source is very useful and the items are minimal cost. Many of the NSD’s CD’s, DVD’s, and tapes are also very reasonably priced. I’d like to share some of my favorites and hear what others of you out there choose as favorites.

These are my top CD choices that I pull out and listen to whenever I get in a slump. I loaded them into my iPod so they are more portable for in the car:

1. Back to Basics featuring Kathy Helou and Debi Moore: 3 CD set available on Kathy Helou’s website as well as Top Director Tapes. This set covers all the Mary Kay basics starting with booking and selling. It also covers image and time management. (more…)

You Have to Want It

“You have to want it.” This was a sentence one of my dance instructors from the Cleveland Ballet uttered regularly. Having a talent and really wanting to achieve a goal can be completely unrelated. Success stems primarily from passion. If you’re not passionate about what you do, it doesn’t matter if you’re good at it. Eventually, the lackluster attitude will shine through and the talent will be overshadowed. This article from Get Motivation illustrates this concept marvelously:

How Much Do You Yearn?

Christopher Morley has said, “There are three ingredients in

the good life: learning, earning and yearning.” And yearning

can make up for a great lack in the other two. (more…)
