Shower Meetings....

What?  You don't have those? 

When #TheHubs and I remodeled our master bathroom several years ago, we took out the bathtub and installed the biggest, most amazing shower EVER!  Well, for us it is anyway.  This beauty is about 40-50 sq ft and has dual heads.  One set at the perfect height for him and one for me!  TheHubs isn't giant or anything but before the remodel he shared that he has never lived in a home where the shower didn't hit him in the chest.  So, CUSTOM HEAD HEIGHT IT WAS!! 

Making dreams come true... it's my job!

At a holiday party several years ago, we stacked 26 of our friends inside just to see how many people we could fit.  I'm not home to take a photo right now but here is one from several years ago.... 

 

This is my sweet friend Rashonda and I hope she doesn't mind that I'm positing this!  LOL.  When people come over, they like to see the shower.  My nephew LOVES to take a shower when he is here even if its not needed.  It's just fun and a happy place for us.

ANYWHOOOO.....  TheHubs and I try really hard to shower together everyday.  We call these moments "shower meetings".  This is where major life decisions are finalized.  We talk about family, work, our future etc.  We come together and make decisions about things we are working toward and on.  Crazy right?  We are a little wacky like that.  BEFORE YOU GO GETTING ALL GROSSED OUT, there isn't anything at all sexual about these "shower meetings".  STRICTLY BUSINESS my friends!  I SWEAR!

For over 20 years, our income has been impacted by the price of oil.  Sometimes good, sometimes bad.  It's been a roller coasters.  We are both in the Oil and Gas support Industries (well, I WAS in the industry but am retired now) and I was a Mining specialist so my income (good and bad) fluxed with the price of gold as well. 

This morning TheHubs said something pretty profound that I hadn't really considered before. 

He said.... 

"I'm pretty happy that your income isn't dependent on the price of oil anymore.  That's nice."

 

I thought WOW!  He is so right.  For two decades our corporate income was impacted by market changes in oil and gold.  With my Network Marketing and Party Plan biz, those impacts are minimal.  If anything, my business has been impacted in a positive way whether oil and gold prices are up and down.  When prices are down and companies are laying people off, they start looking for a PLAN B and often find it in a company like mine.  Also, when gas prices drop with the price of oil, people have more disposable income so they spend more.  When commodity prices are higher, people are working and earning more and they spend more and have more parties etc.  It's been my experience
I invite you to visit my website at www.HaleyRagsdale.com .  Lets connect and Ill happily share my growth ideas and strategy when you become a Presenter.

Your MLM business is WILLABLE! WHAT?! YEP!

Let's chat briefly about this amazing feature of you MLM Network Marketing business!  DID YOU REALIZE IT IS WILLABLE?  Oh yes it is sister!  You can also SELL your book of business!  This is true for most companies that I am aware of.  Double check your Company and their contracts but YOU NEED TO KNOW! 

And you also need to make sure your business is handled.  Be sure your paperwork is in order and your personal affairs are ON POINT!  None of us want to think about this possibility but HELLO... We are empowered! 

We handle our business!

On 12/31/14 I officially retired from the position I held in Corporate America for over 20 years.  I gave it all up for my Network Marketing biz!  Let me tell you, even as blessed as I have been with my MLM company, this was not an easy life change for me to make!

I earned multiple six figures in my previous job.  In 2009 I earned over $400k in one year.  I don't mind sharing that in the last 10 years or so, my annual salary (not including 2009) averaged $150k-$200k.  LISTEN!  That may not seem like much to you.  However, for this self doubting, non-degreed, work-your-way-up-from-the-bottom-to-the-top gal, it was HUGE!  In my late 20's, I thankfully recognized the need to manage my money well.  I stayed out of debt, I married a man with the same goals and someone on the same page financially.  Looking back, I pat myself on the back but its NOTHING compared to what is coming up.  Since I was able to make those decisions early on, it has put me in the position I am today.  The position to be able to chose.

I was comfortable in the knowledge that I could support my kids on my own if needed.  That I had "made it" in my environment.  I was a top performer in that company.  In fact, I was ranked Top 6 every year I held my last position.  Most years I was in the top 3 performers.

I've shared before how much I love the company I (used) to work for!  I love the people, I loved that I could work from home, basically set my own schedule and you know I LOVED having a company vehicle!  I haven't had a car payment in about 10 years!  That was awesome!  The incentive trips were great, the 401K, the health insurance was reasonable and the salary seemed (for the most part) fair.  I was comfortable. I knew what I was doing day in and day out.  I could do a majority of my job in my sleep.  Sounds pretty amazing right?  I thought it was a dream job.  And then I was introduced to Network Marketing!

So... why in the heck would I waltz away from such a sweet gig to sell products and mentor others to do the same?  BECAUSE I'M A BELIEVER IN MORE!  SPOILER ALERT!  Someday soon I plan to share my entire story in a lifestyle video so I won't drone on and on here.  Just know.... I BELIEVE THERE IS MORE! 

Maybe this industry can give you more too.  Maybe you can do more with a Network Marketing company than you ever thought you could?  YOU CAN!

I was capped out at my job and I knew we wanted more!  I knew I could earn more! I had more in me.  I DESERVED MORE!  I mean seriously!  Look at what I accomplished with the limitations put on my by the corporate world.  All that with ZERO college education!  I was a pregnant teen on "the system" in 1990 and FLASH FORWARD to 2014.... WOW RIGHT!?  Not to toot my own horn but I created something pretty amazing with my life. 

Network Marketing allows ANYONE from ANY walk of life the same opportunity to achieve.  You only need to commit.  For two years I've been working 2 full time jobs.  It was time to let one go... guess which one...  I'M A FREE WOMAN!

#TheHubs and I recently updated our will and I had a major light bulb moment.  MY MLM business is WILLABLE to my family!  WHAT THE WHAT?!  When I die, my children (or anyone I chose) can inherit my business!  They can manage it, or sell it!  You probably don't need me to tell you how awesome that is! 

PLEASE protect yourself and your family!  In 2015 please be sure to update your personal documents and that your network marketing company is protected if something were to happen to you.  In most cases, your business can be passed onto anyone you chose.  If your children are under age, you can assign someone to manage it for them.  You can give your direction to sell your book of business and gift the proceeds to anyone you chose.  LOOK INTO IT!

Getting “The Hubs” involved…..

I realize that not all married women are as lucky as I am.  Many don’t have supportive husbands or even husbands that TOLORATE their MLM/DS dreams!  My poor hubs never had a choice.  Support in my household isn’t an option.  By force or by nature, I am one of the lucky ones.  He is very open and supportive of all my shenanigans!  You must get your Significant Other (SO) on board if you are ever going to be truly successful.  Its up to you to decide if that is a possibility.  Include them in creating your goals and your vision board.  Include them in your business milestones and your progress.  Also include them by sharing your struggles and concerns.  This is their JOB as your SO... they have a role to play as your support team.  Your cheerleading squad.  Your champion.

I SWOON over this man....
 

 

Last night The Hubs and I had dinner with our friends Karen and Milo.  Karen recently launched her own Direct Sales biz and chose YOUNIQUE!  Yah know…. Cause she is a genius!  ANY-WHOOO……

There we were at dinner the guys are chit chatting about man stuff while Karen and I chit chatted about world domination one set of eyelashes at a time, when all the sudden they were pulled into the convo.  Karen was strongly suggesting to Milo that he should parade around town in a tshirt with her website on the front!  I of course had her back 100% because I thought it was a brilliant idea! 

The Hubs then suggested that perhaps there was an untapped market down at the local strip club and that he and Milo should ABSOLUTELY hustle right down there and network! 

You know... on behalf of our business! 

Sacrificing for us!

They only have our best interests in mind!

They would be more than willing to wear our tshirts there...

Who knew our SO's were such givers?!  smh...... 

As we outwardly POO-POO'd their idea... don't think for one second that Karen and I aren't on THAT like rats on CHEESE!  Stay tuned for how that turns out....

I believe there is so much (often) unappreciated value in the idea’s that float around in the heads of our significant others (SO’s).  Maybe we don't give them enough credit.  Have we really asked?  Have we really shared?  Have we really listened?  We should never discount their thoughts or opinions and we should NEVER not include them in our wins and our struggles.

I posted a tip quite awhile ago about ALWAYS sending your SO out the door with a pocket full of you biz cards.  Just making him aware of opportunities is a positive fall forward for your business.  So, RIGHT NOW, go put some biz cards in his wallet/her purse!  Give them to your kids!  Arm your loved ones with what they need to have in order to support the dreams and goals you have as a family.

Today I had the pleasure of a Skype meeting with one of my beautiful first levels, TIFFANY!  Tiffany's husband is in the pest control industry.  This calls for him to be inside many homes a day!  He has access to HUNDREDS of Stay at Home Moms in any given month!

So... we got to thinking!  What if we developed a challenge for him.  Of course it would also hold a handsome reward as well!  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CHALLENGE WE CAME UP WITH!

 

Include your SO in your biz!  Bounce idea's off of them.  Just because they may not wear makeup or use your product, doesn't mean they don't have some thoughts or suggestions on how you may be able to grow!  Don't assume they don't care, aren't interested or won't be supportive.  TRY IT! 

 

I would love for you to comment below if you issue this challenge to your SO and let me know how it goes!

 

As always, I would love for you to follow me on PINTEREST, YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER and GOOGLE+!

AMAZING APRIL!

 

 

 

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.

 

II

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!

 

But, let me leave you with this exciting news! 

*May 1st Younique is open for business in Australia! 

*June 1st we will be launching in New Zealand!

*Next up is the UK! 

BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING! 

We will have confirmation this Fall but as of right now, Younique is on track to become THE fastest growing Direct Sales Company, in the history of the world... EVER!  That is pretty exciting!

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! 

Check out how YOUNIQUE is ranking by clicking here!

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!!

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

 

 

 

NO TIME TO CHAT!  Its the last day of the month and traditionally the busiest day at Younique!  The numbers just go CRAZY!  If I had 2 more ELITE Presenters, I would be BLACK and all this just 7 months into this business! 

Here is a quick snapshot of where I am as of right now with still 6 hours in the day!

More to come!  Ive got to get back at it!

OCTOBER JOINING INCENTIVES

Just crunching my September numbers a bit and Im SO HAPPY with the advancements and growth!  Early in my Direct Sales biz with YOUNIQUE I was averaging 30-40 hours per week.  Ive improved my time management and am now closer to 20 hours per week.  So, more money and less time?  YES PLEASE! 

Im need 2 more GO GETTERS before I can advance to BLACK!  The highest status with YOUNIQUE!  Remember, I reward referrals!

Super exciting OCTOBER ANNOUNCEMENTS from our Founders-
October Presenter KitOctober is a very special month for Younique! October 1^st, 2012, was the month we opened up for Presenter registrations! Before we even had products to promote we had a handful of visionary Presenters who began recruiting. Even though our official launch and one-year anniversary is November 1^st, the month of October will forever be the month our Younique family was born. During that very first month in October of last year, Derek and I had set a goal to have 100 Presenters before month end. We knew it was a lofty goal considering our pioneer Presenters didn’t have much to “show” to get those recruits! Well, we more than surpassed that goal of getting 100 Presenters in that first month, and you’ve been helping surpass our goals ever since! What you all have accomplished in one year is nothing short of AMAZING! At this moment, we have exactly 2222 Presenters, and we are on target for September sales to nearly DOUBLE what August sales were!

For October only, in honor of this special month, we want to do something a little generous for our October signups. Every October going forward we want to do our part to help October be a huge recruitment month! So having said that, the October Presenter kit will include:

41 testers (15 shimmer pigments, 15 matte pigments, 5 blushers, 6 concealers)
Eye brushes set
3D Fiber Lashes (Yes, they’re back in the kit!)
Presenter Guide
White status charm
PayQuicker Younique bank account
Unlimited Virtual Parties
FREE website for 3 months ($30 value)
$25USD / $30CAD Younique cash on your Birthday annually

In addition to:
$10 Younique cash on the day of registration to both the new Presenter and the Sponsor
10 catalogs

Separate from that, our top 10 recruiters for October will receive:
$100 Y-cash and all 10 Lucrative Lip Gloss colors in the black round black case


October Customer Kudos
I think this month will be a fun Customer Kudos promotion! All orders that are at least $75 will get a Younique canvas tote bag included with that order. The bag is super cute and is the perfect size to tote around some Younique products in. It is an exclusive one-of-a-kind bag that is not available for purchase or resale. I only ordered 3800 bags, so the October Customer Kudos promotion will only last as long as the supply lasts. They are so adorable that I insisted on keeping 4 of them for myself, so we’re down to 3796 totes. Actually I gave one to Sherilyn, our office manager, yesterday so technically, we’re actually down to 3795 totes! J Things to note: 1) it must be a commissionable total of at least $75 to receive the tote; 2) only one tote per order; and, 3) there is a limited supply of totes available and this promotion is for our October Customer Kudos only. I will post the Kudos ad on the POP that has an image of the tote for your reference and marketing.


The Race to 10K Presenters
I want each of you to know that you are a part of something HUGE and something very special. Where we are headed and the speed at which we will get there is going to be something to behold! In November, when Younique officially celebrates our one-year anniversary we will launch a new campaign as we race to get our first 10 thousand Presenters. Our first goal to get 100 Presenters during our first month in October then turned into getting 1000 Presenters before our first-year anniversary. We just keep adding a zero to our next goal! The exciting details of this new campaign will be announced towards the end of October and is called – “The Race to 10K Presenters!” So many exciting things in our future to look forward to! Congratulations to each of YOU who will literally be at the root and benefitting from an explosion of growth in our near future. You continue to exceed and surpass our goals so I’m excited to see where we will be this time next year! Watch out Mary Kay and Avon – Younique is stepping up to play with the big girls!


Bring on October! Have a great weekend.




Sincerely,

Melanie Huscroft
Co-founder and VP of Sales & Marketing

Just a pop on my BLOG to share that Im freaking out right now!  Im $80 away from hitting PURPLE status with YOUNIQUE!  Oh yeah... and my AMAZING downline has added 57 new Presenters to my team since the first of September!  We are at nearly $40k in company wholesales!  Another cool thing about me hitting purple is that Nichole, my upline will receive a $300 cash bonus!  Man!  I love YOUNIQUE!  This is an awesome Direct Sales Company!

~special, secret shout-out to my favorite skinny, beautiful Santa Clause!

So Im busy cleaning up the kitchen after dinner and my girlfriend Amanda sends me a text...."YOU DID IT!!!!" (4 exclamation points so you KNOW that is serious!) "Big smooches and hugs"... So I say... "What?!" "Really?!" "Cleaning the kitchen!".... she says "Yes!!!!" "How mundane!  There are exciting things happening with your virtual family!".  That girl cracks me up!  Turns out I hit ORANGE status today!  Its kind of a big deal.  There are 8 Incentive Levels within YOUNIQUE.  White, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple and Black!  I just hit ORANGE!  6 months almost to the day that I joined this company!

I will say that today is another day that I am seeing the power of having a strong and large downline.  My team continues to grow every single day... its to the point now where (sadly) I see names on my FB group page that I don't even recognize!  There is a leg of my team that calls themselves MINIONS.  They are so cute!  I have 135 minions as of today!  My Company wholesales are over $25k.  These are amazing women!

Anywhoo.... guess I better finish cleaning the kitchen.  I wonder how long it will be before I can afford to PAY someone to do that for me?

ARHGGG!!  First of all... when I joined Younique on 2/21/13, that day I said to myself... "self, you should totally start a blog."  Well, I didn't.  So now I'm MONTHS behind and so much exciting stuff has happened with my new DS business.  I'm wishing I would have gone with my gut and started to journal my experiences and growth.  Alas.... I didn't.... 
 
I was torn about trying to recreate my journey from start to current.  Instead, I plan to start fresh TODAY and pepper my posts with lessons learned. 

I joined in late Feb.  I discovered Younique through my friend Christie who was having a virtual party.  There was chatter on the party about these awesome new 3D Fiber Lashes.  They were only $29 and I wanted to support my friend and her party so I thought "why not?!"  I ordered.  about 3 days later my lashes came in the mail.  Now, since 3 days had passed, and other ladies were receiving their products and posting reviews and photos, I was pretty amped up by the time my stuff arrived!  I ripped open the package in the post office parking lot and put them on RIGHT THERE!  WOW!  They really were AMAZING!  Promise delivered! I HAD AWESOME LASHES!  I'm talking full on TARANTULA lashes here! 

So then.... of course, I wanted more Younique Products but I'm CHEAP so I wanted them for free.  I hosted a Virtual Party (VP).  "How easy is this" I thought.  All online.  Well, my party was huge, I think it was over $800!  So, I signed up.  The best way to get all the goodies at that time was to just go ahead and Join the company  !

And the rest, as they say, is history.
 
You don't have to get as GEEKY as I do sometimes with tracking my growth/numbers.  I'm anxious for the Younique website updates to launch in September so this analytical type info is more readily available.  For now, here is a snapshot of my team growth from late Feb when I started through the close of July.  Today is August 17 and I currently have 107 on my team-

Something I am certainly struggling with is my time management.  Once I decided I was going to give this biz a shot and give it the opportunity to earn some extra $$ for my family, things began to explode.  The need to manage it all has been a struggle for me.  While we were camping this weekend, I read BEACH MONEY by Jordan Adler.  Sitting there, watching wood burn, enjoying my family and the BEAUTIFUL Knob Lakes area off the Glenn Hwy near Eureka, Alaska....Pages 100-102 changed my entire perspective on this business and how I need to manage the growth. 
Jordan Adler says....
"If you are building or planning on building a big team, this is probably the most important party of this book.  Your job when sponsoring someone is to simply get them started.  It is not your job to manage them.  Each person who joins you is an independent business owner and is responsible for his or her own business.  If you plan on managing thousands of people, you will have a big problem.  There are not enough hours in the day.  the formula for burnout is a belief that you must manage your whole team."
It was totally my OPRAH AH-HA moment!  It all fell into place.  I'm totally honest when I say that a rush of calm came over me.  I was SO STRESSED out about not having Internet service out there because GOD FORBID someone had a need or question that couldn't wait 2 days....the need to hold every ones hand this entire time has been consuming me.  NO MORE SISTER!
