TIP:  Rewards are so important on our health and fitness journey, and NON-FOOD rewards are often the difference in winning and losing the war against bad habits.  If you are having trouble stringing 1 day of good habits together, set a small reward for getting through TODAY or TOMORROW meeting a set of beneficial goals and then go for 2, then 1 week.  Inch by inch its a cinch.

TESTIMONIAL:  My friend Kristin Ledford, Flowery Branch, GA lost 65 pounds.  Check out her story.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IEoonUWEeK0

Have you read the most popular posts on Anna's blog for a little extra mojo?  Here's one that got a lot of feedback.

A Day in the Life !!!

I feel like this business is neither simple nor easy some days, some days it is simple and easy.  Keeping first things first, Organization and Order of Operations is a huge, probably the biggest obstacle.

Here is how I am doing it. First how I get started or SET THE MOOD, lol.

Clear the ADVOCHATTER (as I call it)

• Do 15 minutes of reading in whatever leadership book I am in.
• Read my goals, affirmations, visualize where I am going
• Is my calendar updates per FB and email with events and trainings?
• LOOK at my DMO, list and calendar ---> first priority of the PP is PGV!!!
• Look at my Blueprint and calendar---> what event works for what person on the list and on the blue print?
• Look at the incentives I am choosing the participate in and update the tracking.
• Call/Contact 3 people on my list to get them on prodcuts and to the next Impending Event
• Call/Contact those on the team to help them get them and their people to the next impending event

The bottom 2 are the only ones that are truly profitable so if I don't have a systematic approach I probably never get there.  I've learned the organizing can be a distraction but it gets my head in the game and makes me efficient. so I just hope the goals and stuff get me fired up enough to be disciplined.  It works most of the time ;-)

Then watch me struggle to make my list, then actually MAKE THE CALL!!

You guys can help me do some of this better?  Or maybe you can relate?  Follow along for a glimpse...

Next is me actually doing the call.  This is NOT FUN...lol  Do you feel like this?
more to come.....

2 Steps to Get Your Team Moving

If you have not been frustrated with how to help your team get into action, you have not been direct sales very long!  Its normal.

The great news is...We attract who we ARE. We need to remember that our ultimate goal is to find and recruit champions and put together a championship team. And a championship team has lots of different characteristics.  Everyone on your team is super valuable. There are going to be a few (read again, FEW) that are high-level producers but there are going to be many who want to be high-level producers. The first thing that needs to happen to have any high-level producers is to become one. We attract who we are. So anytime we get frustrated with the actions of our team, we know we cannot go in and have it somebody else's body and make them do anything but what can we control? Can't control what we do and that asked to help as many people as we can find get started on products and be an excellent coach and get them results. More we do that, the more our team does that. And the more likely we are to attract champion producers who will duplicate that.  The most important thing we do is focus on ourselves.

So step 1 is to picture the team member we would love to have.

"You can’t get what you want if you don’t know what it is in the first place. Start thinking about the exact person you want to attract into your business or your life. Remember, you're the only one setting the rules here, so the sky’s the limit. Be specific on everything from their secret passions to their inner fears. When you know what you’re looking for, you’re a lot more likely to find it."

Today I am sending out a thank you gift to one of my regular wholesale customers.  I want to take every opportunity to make doing business with me a pleasure.




Step 2 - Become that team member. You will start to attract and duplicate a high-level producer!!

It turns out there is a lot you can do and it all depends on you and you don't have to give that power to other people and be frustrated. Isn't that awesome?

"The most common barrier to attracting people into your business or life is trying to please everyone. If you’re keeping everyone happy, then you’re not being special to anyone. When you are authentically yourself, some people are inevitably going to be repelled. And that’s a good thing. Once you start sending away the wrong fits, you’re making room for the right ones to come in."

The biggest pitfall in this business is to continually focus on your current team trying to get blood from a stone. Respect them and love them for who they are and where they are at all times. Focus on being the model team member and constantly talking to new business builders every week so that you are becoming the team member you most wish to recruit!!

Just close your eyes and imagine what would happen to your business if you put this into action today.

Is the Success System Holding You Back?

Are you a serious business builder? Are you ready to pump up your PGV?

Is the success system holding you back and costing you sales??  Here is a quick less than a minute video to show you what the success system is really for how to use it and not let it get in your way and increase your sales every day.  I share my thoughts on some closing language and invite you to share with us things that are working for you that are increasing your PGV!!

Gut Check

Hi there, a few of you loved the idea of a brain dump with tips to help you achieve your goal so lets give this a try.  All I know to do is write whats on my heart and the close of the pay period is when I see how we are doing as a team and feel the stirrings in my gut about what we need and where we are going compared to our potential.

As a team we are still pretty young.  We have a strong momentum and a large foundation of Silver Pin Leaders and New Advisors. Im going to try and keep our Pinned Leadership Team up top of this blog for all to see.

But today, here is what I have.  When you look at YOUR team and YOUR sales, are your frustrated or elated?  If you are frustrated with the actions of others, its more than likely something you have zero control over, but think about this little saying.

You are attract who you ARE.  So it got me thinking...am I being who I want to attract?

Am I positive?
Then I attract positive.

Do I take products and live a healthy lifestyle that gives measurable results due to the products?
Then I will attract healthy products users.

Am I desperate and stuck?
Then I attract desperate and stuck.

Am I in action helping customers get great results?
Then I attract others who will do the same.

Am I fake?
Then I attract fake.

Am I gossiping and engaging in drama?
Then I attract gossipers and drama

Am I fearful and making excuses?
Then I attract fearful excuse makers.

Do I love and support my crossline teammates?
Then I attract teammates who will love and support theirs.

We must become who we want to attract today.

At the end of the day, the responsibility is ours.  We can make this happen.  Which in its tremendous responsibility is also tremendous FREEDOM.

You matter, team!
