109 Things You Can Do When the Power Goes Out

By Leave a Comment

Things to do without electric or internet

If you normally spend much of your day online, you may feel lost if the power or internet goes out.

We had a doozy of a storm last night therefore much of my surrounding area is unplugged. I’m fortunate that my electric is back on, but we still don’t have any internet or TV channels.

I’ve compiled a list of 109 things you can do if you lose power. If you have zero electricity you may not be able to do some of these, but they will work if you’re only missing internet for a while. [Read more…] about 109 Things You Can Do When the Power Goes Out

Do You Love to Travel?

By 1 Comment

Who loves to travel, but hates to pack?  Do you usually try to pack everything you’ll need for a week in a carry-on suit case? Or do you not even try, and just check a bag?

I’m almost always one who does not check a bag but rolls everything I need for the week in a carry-on suitcase.

But soon I’m headed to Kansas City for Scentsy’s 2017 annual convention, aka Scentsy Family Reunion. There will be lots of giveaways, far more than I will be able to put into my carry-on suitcase. Therefore I had to buy a big suitcase last night. It seems huge, although I suppose anything larger than a carry-on is huge to me.  [Read more…] about Do You Love to Travel?

Million Dollar Maverick

Book Recommendation: Million Dollar Maverick – Forge Your Own Path to Think Differently, Act Decisively, and Succeed Quickly by Alan Weiss, PhDMillion Dollar Maverick, Alan Weiss

I am reading a book right now that I think EVERY entrepreneur should read. I’m not done reading it, yet I wanted to share it with you right away. I checked out a copy from my local library and I will be purchasing it for my personal library.

This book contains ten chapters on being different to stand out, losing the fear of failure, gaining influence, critical thinking skills, improving self-esteem, understand the difference between pain and suffering, control over our careers and being shameless in taking credits, effective use of language for business and life, examples of innovations such as “perpetual motion attraction machines”, and feeling comfortable in your own skin (e.g., no guilt, no fear).You can read other reviews of this book here.

Why I Love This Book

I love Million Dollar Maverick because it stresses the point to stand out, to be different from all the others, and do it without fear. In direct sales, I see so very many independent consultants who aren’t acting very independent.  They’re part of the herd. Those who separate themselves from the pack are realizing amazing success.

If you only read one book this year, let it be this one. It’s also available in audio if you prefer that medium.

Who Are You Attracting?

By Leave a Comment

Like attracts like. What kind of people are you attracting into your circle?

If you’re becoming increasingly frustrated with people, either via social media or in your offline life, chances are you may need to make some adjustments in who you are exposing yourself to. (I still giggle every time I say ‘expose yourself’ – I guess because I’m 12).

Winners attract winners.
Whiners attract whiners.
Positive attracts positive.
Negative attracts negative.
Are you a positive winner? Or a negative whiner?

This topic has been on my mind a lot lately. Positive people practically break out in hives when they’re around whiners. And likewise, negative people don’t want to hang out with Suzy sunshine.

This morning I saw the above Winners attract winners … come through in my LinkedIn feed, posted by one of my local associates. I took it as a sign that I was supposed to blog about it.

What about team members? [Read more…] about Who Are You Attracting?

7 Direct Sales Leader Tips

By Leave a Comment

What is a Scentsy director supposed to do?When you sponsor someone into Scentsy, you become a leader. As you grow your team you’re expected to lead. But what if you’ve never had to do that before? 

I have a background and education in business, and I’ve been in direct sales thirty (30) years. But not everyone has that experience.  Many independent consultants who have a downline find it difficult to figure out how to lead a team, especially when it’s a new role for them. Below are my seven Direct Sales Leader Tips.
