A little more about me

I've shared a bit about me, but I thought I'd add a photo here and a little more info. This is my hubby and on the coast in Magnolia, Mass. I LOVE the ocean and am truly a "Mainer", but I am always at awe of God's creation no matter what state or country I'm in.

As for a little bit more about me - I graduated from Gordon College 5 years ago with a BA in Social Work. Since then I've worked here in Maine as a social worker - imagine that! My husband used to be in construction, then he joined me in social work for a couple years until he was offered the job at our church as full time youth pastor. We both love working with teens and so it is the perfect match for us. A little while after we were married, I decided I needed a hobby, so I took up scrapbooking. Soon I found that it was a bit expensive, so I became a consultant in order to get the discount on the products. Then I realized it would be good to actually earn money with it, and I worked hard to do so. After a while I promoted but then lost my title just as quickly. I found that there was no residual income, so every month I had to start at $0 and work up. Then last November my friend called and introduced me to a fabulous company. In a very short period of time (1 month), I promoted in that company and now I'm earning a significant income. Enough to work just part-time instead of full time, which allows me to do more of what I enjoy - spending time with my hubby and helping our youth group.

That's all for now... more to come.

Goal Setting

Here's some tips I learned on a training call the other night...

Steps to achieving what you want:

1. Set goals - Set your goals in each of the following areas: physical, emotional, spiritual, financial family, intellectual, professional, material, fun. Goals must be specific and measurable. Decide what you are willing to give up and what you are not willing to give up. Determine how much time you have to put into each goal.

2. Adopt new beliefs - Whatever your goals are, you must believe that you can actually accomplish them. You may need to change some beliefs about yourself and/or other areas of your life.

3. Trust your gut - You have to trust yourself and know that you are able to accomplish your goals.

4. Get to action - Put an action plan to work. You have to actually start working towards what you want. Write it down!

Identify what you want and go after it! Create the best possible life that you want. With my business, I know that is possible.

One Month Ends, A New One Begins

Well yesterday was the end of September. I had a busy month and a productive one. I am looking forward to finding out if I promoted this month, as that was my goal. Many people in my group did a great job and promoted, and I'm so excited for them! That is what is so great about this - my success is directly linked to me helping others succeed.

On top of that, today I found out the promotion for this month, and it is so great! I can't wait to help everyone earn the great prizes and share this with others. I've already got a couple people who have said they are getting started in October, so I am hoping to help them this month as well.
