On a mission

I’m coming to the end of my six month bonus period (Thursday at 11:59 PDT to be exact), and I’m just one consultant away from $7,000!  I’m confident I’ll get there…in fact, I’ve been on the phone all day setting appointments for this week.  I may have up to 3 or more by Thursday!  God is GOOD!  I even received a surprise email today from a new retail customer, which may convert to a consultant after she uses the products and finds out she loves them!

I missed our Monday meeting tonight so I could be with Will at football practice and then cook mushroom soup and watch Nacho Libre with him tonight…it was fun, we laughed, we ate soup and we spent quality time together!  What could be more awesome than that?

I’m loving my life more and more every day…awesome son, awesome God, awesome home, incredible neighbors, great family, wonderful friends, and an amazing new career that has caught me by surprise…I love what I do for the first time!  WOW.  So what’s left?  Let’s see…a healthy, fit body…an amazing partner, best friend and husband.  I think that would be the icing on the cake.  We’ll see if God agrees!

 

What an honor…

My story is being featured this month on Rodan+Fields’ website.  I’ve just promoted to Level 5, which is the top position in our company…and it’s been such an incredible journey!  God has blessed my business and has brought so many incredible people into my life through it!  You can read my story HERE.

 

New website

I’ve just launched a new website where prospective business partners and customers can learn more about Rodan+Fields and submit their request for an interview.  Very cool stuff!  Check it out:  www.IncredibleSkinCare.net

 

I DID IT!!!!!

I just found out tonight that I have promoted to Level 5 in Rodan+Fields!  It’s the highest level in the company and on the compensation plan!  I’m elated!!!!  I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating…if I can do this ANYONE can do it!  I’ve defied the odds!!!  God is so good and so faithful!

Now that I’m here, there’s so much to do…develop other leaders, find new leaders to join my team, and continue developming my own leadership skills.  This truly is one of the most fun experiences of my life…what a great life I’m creating for myself!

I’ve just begun…there’s much to do…Lord, strengthen and use me for Your glory every step of the way!

 

It’s great to reconnect

I recently ran into an old friend at Target who I hadn’t seen in almost 2 years.  We got together last night and caught up on our lives, and it was such an interesting conversation.  This is a guy I went out with and we both decided early on that we didn’t really have that spark, but we did enjoy each other’s company.  But, as life gets busy and other relationships come along, we lost touch…until now.  His heart was recently broken and he lost a great job due to the economy.  But his attitude is something else.  After just a month of being unemployed, he was offered another job, which is almost unheard of in these times…so what a blessing!  We exchanged stories and experiences and laughed over the silliness of our situations.

He’s a really good guy.  Why is it that neither of us feel the spark for anything other than a great friendship?  It just doesn’t make sense!!!!  Either he’s a jerk and can’t live without you, or he’s a jewel and can’t live with you!  I don’t get it!!!

Regardless, it’s good to have him back in my life.  At least until his next girlfriend sweeps him off his feet!

 

It’s been way too long…

I’m utterly ashamed that it’s been so long since my last post…and oh so much has happened.  Let’s see, shall I recap rather than bore you with every detail?????

• I reconnected with the man I was in love with for 2 years…he’s in a relationship, but totally lead me on for a month and a half, then I told him to go away
• A snake got into my garage and thankfully the neighbor came and killed it with a shovel…I just HOPEFULLY got rid of another snake behind the waterfall of my pond by throwing mothballs all over the place…and now my house smells like…MOTHBALLS
• My Rodan+Fields business is booming…I’ve promoted to Level IV and have over 200 in my organization.  It’s absolutely amazing and I’m having a blast
• Will finishes 2nd grade this coming Friday
• I rewarded myself with a new dresser for my bedroom…my first since 2003!
• I earned the first $3,000 of the $10,000 bonus with Rodan+Fields…should be in my checking account any day now!
• God is good…and continues to blow me away with His favor, His blessing and His incredible grace
• Since arm surgery in January, I have the least amount of pain I’ve had since 2006…and I’m absolutely thrilled beyond measure
• I need to lose 40 pounds…thanks to 3 months of recovery and a whole lot of junk food

So I’m plugging along, busy as ever and enjoying life more than I have in a long time.  Thank you, Lord, for another chance at happiness and contentment!  I’m closer than I’ve been in a long time.

Oh…did I mention I think I’ve found a new church home?  Grace Chapel in Leiper’s Fork…wow, what a breath of fresh air…authentic and the teaching is so awesome!  What a blessing!!!  And Will even likes the Kids Chapel!    Good stuff.  Really good.

 

Man, God is GOOD!

Here we are on the eve of April and I’m in awe of what God is doing with my business through Rodan+Fields!  I started on February 1 with a team of 5 and as of tonight there are over 40 in my organization!  That is INCREDIBLE!!!!  I can only give credit where it’s due…and God gets all the glory for this success! 

The people who are joining my team are some of the best people around…what a great culture we’re creating for the infrastructure of this company!

This week is crazy as we prepare for the arrival fo the Doctrs on Friday.  They’ll be speaking at the Nashville Southern Women’s Show but, most importantly, the’re our special guests to help us officially launch Nashville’s market for Rodan+Fields.  It is a huge opportunity to meet the docs in person, but when they leave here, everyone will know about the company!  It’s such an exciting time for us!!!

God is changing me and my life with Rodan+Fields…if only everyone recognized this opportunity before it goes away.  WOW…Thank you Lord for such an amazing blessing!!!!

 

Happy Birthday to me

What a nice day it’s been…

• Absolutely the most perfect weather
• Precious son
• A new customer
• 2 New business partners
• Lunch with sweet business partners and friends
• Cake and Gifts from friends
• Extra time with Will (tummy ache took him out of school a couple hours early)
• Car wash
• Incredible lilies from Publix (thank you self!)
• Flowers from the neighbors
• Dinner on mom and dad at Outback with Will
• Relaxing evening

I’m not sure it gets much better than that…thanks, LORD for the sweet friends and family in my life.  I felt really special today…all day!

 

Church was good…really good

Will and I ventured out to Grace Chapel today, where our neighbors go to church.  Out in Liepers Fork, at the top of a hill, sits a huge barn-like structure where the church meets.  We got there and I took Will and his friend to their Kids Chapel, then headed to the sanctuary.  Worship was great…loved the music and the way the church participated…and the preacher was really good.  He taught about Esau and Jacob and, for the first time, I really understood what happened with them.  It was a great experience…I came away with 5 rounds of wrestling with God, which hit me in a profound way:

1. conviction
2. correction
3. confession
4. c……it will come to me!!!!
5. conversion

Really good stuff about how God can use ANYONE and ANY SITUATION to bring glory to His Name!

 

A little rain makes for a lazy weekend

It’s been a busy week of showing property and sharing Rodan+Fields…lots of training and 3-way calls!  It’s been great, but it’s nice to sit back on a rainy Saturday at 5:26, still in my pajamas! 

Every day my mind becomes more and more focused on building a strong leadership team.  I’m learning the skills and behaviors necessary to attract the right people, to say the right things, and to teach my team to do the same.  It’s amazing what a little revelation can do!

I’ll be 36 this coming week…wow…THIRTY-SIX.  How did that happen!  My sweet son tells me I look young, so that’s good enough for me!  I’m feeling pretty good these days, my joints have been less achy and my energy level has been pretty steady.  Must have something to do with working and actually having work to do!

The next couple of weeks are going to be focused on preparing for the Doctors to come to town for our Nashville launch event.  We are pumped, and I’m determined to work my tail off getting the word out and inviting as many as possible to be my guest, meet the doctors and join my team!  It’s an amazing time with this company, and I’m searching for others who recognize this opportunity while it’s STILL an opportunity.  Rodan+Fields is going to change my life…and I cannot wait!
