Um....Yeah....WOW!  I think I'm seeing the momentum!  What do you think!? 

706 new Presenters in November alone!  As of right now, 12/5/13, we are at 1460 Presenters!  Amazing growth in November and so far, December is on track for DOUBLE! 

In November we had some VERY exciting things happen!  One of the most exciting was having my Sponsor, Nichole Smith (Presenter #36) be the second Presenter to reach BLACK STATUS with Younique!  But the VERY MOST EXCITING was having my girls Briana and Amy both hit BLACK AS WELL!  Since they hit in November, they each received a $10k bonus check PLUS a $1k FPP bonus!  AWESOME! Check out the first 6 Presenters that hit BLACK status by Clicking here

I made $9477 in November!  I'm not even in the top 5 earners this month!  It has been so inspiring to see the money that these women are making with YOUNIQUE and their NWM business.  GIRL POWER!  I was so hoping that I would also be one of the first 10 to hit BLACK.  I WILL get there one day.  ZERO question about that.  I am working hard to get there before the Race to 10k Presenters is over!  You must be one of the first 10 to qualify BEFORE we hit 10k Presenters in order to receive the $10 bonus check!  I predict we will hit 10k Presenters by early January.

There are lots of fun things happening that are connected to our RACE to 10K PRESENTERS!  My girls Shari and Whitney won iPad Mini's!  check them out! 

I would LOVE to build my team DEEP and WIDE so if you know anyone that is looking for a growth opportunity, I would LOVE your referrals!

I've always been open about my time management issues!  Somedays I feel like I am improving and then other days I feel like it is NEVER going to get better.  This is by far my sigle biggest issue that I struggle with.  Admittedly, my issues are self imposed for the most part. I am constantly striving to improve.  Since Younique is so new, they do not have a model developed yet that makes YOUNIQUE easily duplicable.  There is no training or single place you can go for info so we are CONSTANLTY training, answering the same Qs over and over.  It is exhausting.

As I'm blissfully drowning in my own success and treading water daily to keep up with the beautiful explosion of our business, I know for a fact I am not the only one! My amazing Sponsor Nichole and I often use each other as a sounding board in search of sanity when we have totally lost it and want to SCREAM when we see Presenters asking the very basic Qs over and over and over.  Trying to teach our DL to be great leaders is key.  We know this and we are trying!  Even when we do create documents/tools and put them in place, it seems that very few people take the time to educate themselves.  They search for the path of least resistance and that is usually us and we MUST CHANGE THIS MENTALITY!

Melanie posted some brilliant advice that I hope will ring as true with other NWM Presenters as it did with me.  I think if I can adapt this train of thought, quit trying to be all things to everyone, my life may get easier!

"As leaders, you’re NOT a ‘counselor’, but rather a ‘COACH.’ Stop and think about the difference between these two words. A coach works with those who are willing and show promise, and they don’t put up with crap or put up with whining and complaining. They are usually highly respected with firm expectations. They also set boundaries. I certainly can’t and don’t want to be a ‘counselor’ to 5000 women – that isn’t productive to the company. So my advice is to first realize -- You can’t “fix” their problems, nor should you try, but you can however, “coach” them by leading, which includes training the masses like Derek mentioned. You’ve all heard the phrase: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” If someone isn’t willing to learn how to fish, spend your time with others who are." ~Melanie Huscroft Co-Founder of Younique

Awesome problems! Join Younique today!
 

OH-M-YOUNIQUE!  What a day we had!

So today was INSANE for my team and for me personally!  I have added 4 Presenters to my first generation in the last 24 hours.  The 100 No's Challenge is really doing AMAZING things for my team.  So many people are using the tool to grow their teams and the numbers are showing!

Lots of my lovelies struggle with stepping outside their comfort zone to talk with people about YOUNIQUE.  So I made THIS VIDEO in hopes that it would encourage them!  ENJOY! 

#PEWPEW

When October closed we had 616 Presenters.  As of THIS MOMENT we are up to 1213!  CRAZY RIGHT?  We are also at approx $280k in wholesale sales!  On track to make $300k this month for the company!  WOWZA!

Total Younique Presenters: 4,977 (1,667 in November). Almost halfway to our Race to 10K Presenters. November new Presenters will be over 2,000 by the time the month is over. That’s exponential growth if I've ever seen it! The waves are coming and those of you in the water already better get ready to ride!

November Sales are booming! I mean, seriously booming. We are already over 1.4 million in sales this month and November will be 100% growth in a single month. That’s right, I fully expect us to double what we did in October at the pace we are on right now. That just doesn’t happen very often in business but you’re doing it!


Today we announced our first ever Presenter to hit BLACK STATUS and that is Debi Jackson!  I had the pleasure of meeting Debi in person at Convention last year and we have a friendly little rivalry going.  Well I'M FRIENDLY... SHE IS JUST MEAN!  JK!  She is awesome!  We snapped photos of us stabbing each other with knives and forks so it has sorta carried on.  Im excited for her!  Debi qualified to receive a $10k bonus this month because she was one of the first 10 Presenters to reach Black before we have 10k Presenters!  AMAZING!  So, congrats to my fellow Ysister Debi!  LIVING THE BEACH MONEY DREAM!!

It's growing and it's growing in cement......

 

Sometimes its the little things that make a BIG difference.....

 

I just want to share because it just happened again.  Now that my downline is getting so large and so spread out (up to 1148 Presenters now), about once a week or so I receive an email or PM from someone deep in my DL from someone I don't even know. 

 

There seems to be a similar underlying tone to these messages.  It is that "Younique is making a difference".

 

Ive shared my feelings about these notes I receive, with my husband and my close friends.  The first time someone reached out with their comments, I thought it was thoughtful and sweet.  I was happy things were working for them.  Now that it is happening all the time, I am placing a different value on the messages and I'm seeing what a huge impact Younique is having in the lives of these families.

 

At Younique, we are paid every single day for any royalties earned that day.  So, there is no waiting for a check to come after a party closes or payday every two weeks etc.  Money is directly deposited into our PayQuicker accounts and we have instant access with our Younique debit cards.  Obviously this is great right?  Who doesn't like a little cash in their pocket everyday? 

 

Although most Direct Sales companies collect money from their customers instantly, they will often hold onto that money until a party closes before they pay their Consultants.  Or even WORSE, some companies hold it for an entire MONTH or longer.  Why would they do that do you suppose?  If you have a financial background, you can imagine why they may choose to operate this way.  Leveraging their finances before paying their people.  It is a common occurance at every level of Corporate America.  Using their Consultants earnings and customer payments for additional gains.

 

At Younique, you are instantly paid for the work you've done.  What I am learning, is that this little perk that Younique offers, is being perceived as a life saver for many people that are struggling financially right now. 

 

The messages I am receiving are touching, inspiring and they are having an impact on me personally.  They have highlighted a value added feature of this amazing company that I think is often over looked or taken for granted and it goes hand in hand with how I feel this company operates from a place of positive ethics. 

 

This offering by our company has literally meant gas money, food money, milk money or diapers for many women on my team.  It has meant the difference of someone being able to pay rent or in one recent testimony, being paid that evening has meant she had money for formula the next day for her baby.  If she needs money, she does her job, works hard, sells, and is fairly and immediately compensated for her efforts.  Younique is helping many families 'get by' right now while things are difficult. 

 

Make no mistake, treat YOUNIQUE like a hobby and you will earn like it's a hobby.  Treat it like a business/job, you will earn a fair wage.  Eventually, you will earn a wage that is BEYOND "fair".  I earned $5k in October.  I feel that is more than fair for the effort I put into my business last month.

 

There is no doubt that Network Marketing is providing an opportunity for people who are looking for a way to earn money but cannot, or chose not to enter the traditional work force.  There is no doubt that if you made a list of potential NWM Companies to join, did a pros and cons of each, that Younique would come out a clear winner.

 

Every day my commitment to, and appreciation for YOUNIQUE and my respect for the FOUNDERS is growing brighter, greener and richer. 

It's growing and its growing in cement.

 

 

If you know someone who might benefit from this compensation model.  I would love to speak with them.  Please reach out by clicking here.  I would love for you to share my blog with them as well.

WHOA NELLY!  455 new Presenters in 20 days!  Over $200k in Company Wholesales!  WHAT THE WHAT!?  Yep!  That just happened!  My team is at 1071 Presenters as of this moment.  That is MOMENTUM BABY!

Can I just share how much I LOVE YOUNIQUE right now?  For example, I am working my biz from 30,000 feet in the air via Alaska Airlines and their GOGO wifi.  Since Younique is internet based, I don't need to be on the ground and doing parties people!  I can do them from ANYWHERE!  I.N L.O.V.E!

On my flight from LV to PDX I worked on our new product training manual and our New Presenter Guide.  Im hopeful that they will be completed this week so I can get this awesome tool in the hands of my awesome Presenters!

It was a busy day for our group.  Lots of action today!

This was a little video clip I sent to my DL.  We are working on the 100 No's Challenge.  Using that thought process to build out teams!  Its been such a great tool.  I started a group on FB about it and MANY seem to be getting something out of it so Im super excited about that!

BIG! HUGE! GIGANTIC NEWS!

 

 

 

 

Today my Company hit 1000!

 

 

Yeah, to say I'm FREAKING out would be an understatement!  Earlier today my Company Downline hit 1,000! 

As of this very moment we are actually at 1,009! 

That means the AMAZING women and men on my team have added 393 new Presenters to my Company in just 18 days!  I can't even begin to tell you how huge that is for me personally.  It was a personal goal of mine (that I HOPED to hit in January of 2014) and Im just so FREAKIN' EXCITED! 

So what is the second thing I did? You know the FIRST thing I did was post it all over FB!  The SECOND thing I did was call my Mommy!  She is so supportive!  The best mom EVER!  Shows up at my events and it doesn't matter if Im 4 or 44!  She is there!  My own personal cheering section!  Hey?  Have you met my momma?  Here she is!  Her name is Patti.

 

I LOVE YOU MOM!

 

ALSO!  We are on track to sell $200k in Company WHOLESALES in November!  This is HUGE!  My people are AMAZING!

 

 

During my flight to LV yesterday, I had a long layover in Seattle, so I set up a meeting with some of the YPresenters in my DL that live in the area (CHA-CHING Tax deduction! whoop whoop). 

And you KNOW this girl loves a THEME!  So, UGLY TEDDY BEAR SWEATER it was! 

Theme was chosen and this weekend I was OFF to find the most hideously awesome teddy bear sweatshirt or sweater I could! 

'Nobody puts Baby in a corner!'

 

 I'm sure you are wondering how that went?  NOTHING!  NO WHERE!  NOT A SINGLE THING!  UGH!  I was freaking out!  How could I show up to my own event out of character!?  Why would I want to?  It was a travesty!  The local thrift stores in Anchorage really let me down this week!  I should have called my sister and brought in the BIG GUNS!  She is the SCORE-DORABLE Queen of the world!

So, I improvised!  Now, if you've read any of my past blogs, you KNOW I have a stock of mumu's.  I had some safety pins and of course I had a box of ORIGINAL Beanie Babies in the closet (WHAT!?  They are totally gonna make me rich someday! pft! Whatever!  Good thing I have Younique for that!) so the teddy bear mumu plan was hatched! I MacGyvered something FANTASTIC!

 

This is me taking a selfie in the mirror in the women's bathroom at SEATAC yesterday.... I strutted my cookies through the Seattle airport in this get up!  WITH PRIDE EVEN!  Challanging lookers on to question me and open the door to a YOUNIQUE smackdown! 

I'm looking back and shaking my head at  my own self right now! 

How and why do I come up with this stuff?

Oh that's right... CAUSE ITS AWESOME! 

If there ever comes a day I say "I'm not in the mood for a costume... or a theme"  Then Y'all better grab your coats cause HELL IS ABOUT TO BE FREEZIN' OVER!

 I'm committed.

Or I need to be...to an institution. 

I'm pretty sure I smelled like pee. No clue why! I wash and wear this mumu often (yes! OFTEN) so I know it was clean.  Do you just sorta automatically smell like pee when you wear one?  I was just so confused about where the pee smell was coming from! The mumu was VERY hot (as in sweating not as in "LOOKIN' HOT"), the pee smell kept getting worse..... I only lasted about an hour and had to take it off. 

Oh yeah and of course I chose a table under the big screen and it was Football Sunday!  Even if no one was staring, it sure felt like they were!

I crack myself up!

 

 

 

Now to end today's BLOG POST with a FUNNY!  I'm seriously STILL LAUGHING about this.  You kinda had to be there I guess but imagine if you will......

 

 

 

So, on my flight from SEA to LAS VEGAS (whoot whoot) yesterday, this guy was in the seat next to me.  My seat mate!   I was fascinated by him the entire flight. 

To clarify....YES, that is a sleep mask!  And, YES, those are legit COKE BOTTLE GLASSES!  And, YES, that is him "reading" his Kindle!  WHAT THE WHAT?! 

Crazy right? 

AND!  That "smirk" on his face?  Um... yeah... that was PERMANENTLY there the entire flight!  I think it was some kind of "condition".  I could not for the life of me figure it out!  Side note... he LITERALLY checked his watch every 3 minutes.  I TIMED HIM!  Like 3 minutes ON THE DOT!  Oh, and did I mention he was totally deaf?  So the Flight Attendant would lean over me and SCREAM at him so he could hear her offerings!  At first I was like "SERIOUSLY DUDE"?  But by the end of the flight I was all like "BLESS HIS LITTLE HEART".  Cracked me UP!  I was all worried about how I was going to sneak a photo of him but CLEARLY that wasn't going to be an issue. 

Needless to say I did NOT share my Younique business and gift opportunity with the kind Gent.  I wasn't in the mood to yell and whatnot.  Hope I didn't miss some amazing boat with that judgement call!

I can't stop thinking about how crazy this dude was and how he was making NO SENSE to me what so ever!  As I giggle about it now and think to myself "what a wacko".... I'm reminded that I just got done typing about how I was wearing a mumu, covered in bears and smelling like pee only moments before I sat down next to this guy... who's the crazy one now?

 

My poor children.....

ROCKTOBER numbers are in! Growth Chart MADNESS.....
