I love beach glass (sea glass).... I have spent hours upon HOURS walking the beaches of Alaska and Hawaii (mostly) on the hunt for these little treasures. I have quite a collection as you can imagine. When I find a shard I get SO EXCITED! Some avid hunters only collect "jewelry grade" pieces (larger) but Im excited about EVERY piece! Big and small!
I feel the same way about my Younique business. I am just as excited when a Presenter makes her very first sale as I am when someone in my Company receives their charm for selling $10k in PRS! No sale or positive movement in this business is "too small". Nothing is insignificant! Every person that launches their own Ybiz and every single product we sell is just as important as the next!
I LOVE EVERY BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF IT!
As our culture becomes more environmentally friendly, sea glass is becoming harder and harder to find. Its one of those sad yet happy things right? Thankfully, humans aren't using the ocean as their personal trash bin any longer, but that also means MUCH LESS GLASS is available on the beaches. Of course you can buy fake "sea glass" that has been produced to look like it has been tumbled for decades by the sea... but what fun is that?
So, us glass lovers need to get creative sometimes. Just like in our network marketing business. My friend Cindy makes necklace pendants from sea glass and she made this necklace for me. I love it. She mostly tumbles her own glass now. This particular piece (pictured above) is from a dish that belonged to her mother-in-law. The dish was cracked so Cindy broke it into chunks and tumbled the pieces in her rock tumbler. I think it is special just the way it is. Even if it wasn't from the sea.
This week I am working from Maui. I was fortunate enough to earn a trip here based on my performance at my corporate JOB. Of course the beautiful thing about my YOB (Your Own Business) with Younique is that we are mobile baby! I am literally typing this blog entry while sitting on the lanai, listening to the waves and watching the sunset. It is a blessed life for sure!
I'm often asked when I plan to retire from my JOB. I don't have an answer for that yet. Clearly I've more than replaced both our incomes with my Younique income at this point but what is the magic number?! How do I know when we will have enough to live the way we want to live?
Im not ready to retire just yet!
If I can continue to find the balance between both worlds for as long as possible, it will give me more time to build the staircase to our dream board and will give us more options to do more good.
I will say it is tempting! Just to think that BEACH MONEY for me is a reality! It's tempting to jump the gun and leave the corporate world behind. When I stop and give that some thought, it doesn't seem like the fiscally responsible thing to do right now! Ill keep plugging away and enjoying these sunny moments while I can!
What Younique is doing for me though is giving me the ability to take some serious FURLOUGH from my JOB so that we can do some DOWN TIME DAMAGE this summer in Alaska!
April was crazy month for my Company. Would you like to take a peak at my personal growth with Younique? Its pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Click here to see the exciting month I had in April! MY TEAM ROCKS!
This blog entry will be short and sweet because I want to get back to the beach and to spending time with THE HUBS!
