Wrap Star in the Making

This has been an amazing day! Matter of fact it has been an amazing week!!

Today I had a one on one with a young lady my husband referred to me. We met at a local Starbucks to see if this business would be of interest to her.

One thing I love about this business is the freedom it gives me to be myself. I didn't feel like I had to put on airs or act like I was more successful than I am. I didn't feel like I looked less professional because I wore my hair in an afro. I wore jeans and one of my fave Old Navy shirts. I was comfortable and I was me. 

Another thing that made me fall more in love with this business is the comfort level I had with taking my little princess to the meeting with me. I had originally planned to have a babysitter, but it didn't work out. Thankfully the meeting was at 11:30am, which is nap time for her. 

Having her there with me gave me more confidence and helped me convey my passion in a way that I would have been nervous to do otherwise. I mean, my baby girl is my primary reason for building this business so I think it was good to have a visual for my prospect and myself as I expressed my desire to be debt free and achieve financial freedom to insure my daughter had a future with no limits.

The meeting went well. The young lady was very interested in the business and will become one of the first distributors to sign up under me. Yaaay! 

I'm very excited about this month. Last month was basically my training month, but now it's on! I am ready to party...Wrap party :) Business is Boomin!

Choosing Victory Over Defeat

I'm Baaaack! I've been really busy since the last time I posted. Let's see....My little family flew to Philly on the 16th to visit my mother & siblings. It was a very interesting trip. Persia did very well on both flights, for which I am beyond thankful since I had to go it alone on the ride back.

My initial thoughts for this trip were: leave the kid with grandma, sleep, eat and sleep some more. But that was before I joined this business. I wanted to make sure I took advantage of any opportunity I had to get the word out about my products. So I scheduled a wrap party at my mom's place. I was also able to meet with my coach and friend, Bonita. The day we flew in my husband and I went to her beautiful home for dinner and training. 

Throughout the week I made calls, sent texts, e-mailed, etc to confirm my guests for my wrap party. I really didn't want to disappoint Bonita because she was willing to come help me, even though she was getting back from vacation the day it was scheduled. So many people bailed on me, but that's why you over invite. 

On the day of the party, I swear it seemed like everything and everyone was against me. I really wanted my mom to be there but she had to work until 7pm. A few more people called and cancelled, then there were others who just didn't show up. The internet was turned off. There were several block parties around the neighborhood that blocked off major streets and caused a lot of confusion. My siblings waited until 4:30pm to begin cleaning and my party started at 5. Everything was just crazy! 

But I had 2 guests show up, along with Bonita and they both became loyal customers. One of my guests tried the crazy wrap and she lost 2 inches around her waistline in one hour!!! That excited all of us. So everything worked out. 

If I wasn't passionate about this business I would've just quit and let my frustration deter me, but I have found that when I am most frustrated, is when I am the closest to an accomplishment. That frustration is the thin line between victory and defeat. Nothing worth having comes easy. I appreciate my minor setbacks much more now. They are an important part of the journey.

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

(Romans 8:28)
