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+!

JUNE!  You beautiful, lovely temptress!

WAIT!  WOAH! 

Not that June from Honey BOOBOO isn't a lovely temptress... I meant the MONTH OF JUNE!  BTW... if anyone has any connections to Honey BOOBOO or June, let me know!  I wanna send them FREE 3D mascara! 

So many amazing goodness happened in JUNE!  For one, I celebrated my 42nd birthday!  WAHOO!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!  Don't I look GOOD for an old lady? 

I owe it all to GLORIOUS PRIMER!

 

June represented the largest team growth month for my leg of YOUNIQUE!  During the month of June, my team added a total of 6,280 Presenters!

 

DID YOU HEAR ME?  I SAID 6,280!



That means an average of 209.3333 presenters PER DAY during the month of June!  Crazy right?  The momentum is out of control!  For example, today is 7/8/14 and as of typing this post, my company has already grown by 1,764 Presenters in July.  Younique as a company currently has a total of 54,272 Presenters GLOBALLY. 

Of those 54,272 Presenters, 29,365 are in my company!

I figure I should start throwing my monthly goals out to the Universe so that I am held accountable!

During the Month of July, Younique is offering FREE SHIPPING on all Presenter Kits.  Our Co-Founders shared recently that this has been the most costly KUDOS offering ever by Corporate and this will be the very last month it is ever offered.  I can certainly see how that may be the case since we are open to Presenters in USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, To the USVI's, Guam and to anyone with an APO/FPO address (global military locations).  Can you imagine the shipping costs that Younique is absorbing?  WOW!

The 2014 Younique incentive trip winners were announced a couple weeks ago!  Apparently, YOURS TRULY is a loser…….

 

 I’ve done a couple videos now so, in my mind, I fancy myself a bit of an actress!  I guess I kind of know how Emmy nominated actresses feel when they are nominated but not “chosen”… I can TOTES RELATE to poor Susan Lucci! 

After all, we are kindred spirits now.  Whether she will ever know it or not.  I should send Suze (I’m going to start calling her Suze, now that we are tight like that) some free 3D mascara!  If any of my blog readers have a connect to her, let me know! HA!

I feel like I need to prepare a speech or an interview!   “I’d like to thank The Academy…. It’s an honor just to be nominated…. Blah blah blah…”  I’ll deliver my speech then go to my dressing room and stick pins in 10 purple Voodoo Dolls I had custom made to resemble each of the winners of the Greece trip!

 Obviously I’m kidding!  Well…. Kinda….  I am whole heartily THRILLED and so excited for those that qualified.  That is the honest truth.  There are no green feelings.  No Jealousy.  No envy.  The fact is, I’m feeling very disappointed in myself and sad that I didn’t qualify for either of the incentive trips in 2014.  Maybe a bit embarrassed as well?  I am a leader in this company and if I didn’t qualify, what message does that send to the men and women in my DL?  That it is an impossibility?  That it isn’t worth try for?  That I have better things to do?  That I don’t really believe in my company?  None of that is true.  Not one bit of it.  And how MORTIFYING to go to convention and have everyone assume I made it and having to explain over and over why I didn’t qualify.  If I share out loud that I am “ok with it” then other GO GETTER'S are going to look at me like I’m a freak!  This business is about GOALS and about putting in the work it takes to achieve them!

When the winners were announce, The Hubs and I were rolling out of town to go camping in our RV.  No reception so a couple things happened. 1)  I wasn’t in on the celebration via social media. 2)  I had lots of time to reflect on what the heck happened!  WHERE DID I GO WRONG?  3) The Hubs actually caught a rock....I'M FREAKIN' SERIOUS!  He literally caught a rock!  Now that takes all kinds of extra super human awesomeness!  I snapped this pic!

 

 

It seemed impossible to believe when you factor in that I am a FOUNDING PRESENTER, A LEADER and  top earner (yes, that is a shameless plug), I work my business full time, when well over half of all Younique Presenters in the world are in my downline and I have among the highest Company wholesale sales levels.  Crazy right.  It’s no ones fault but my own.  I believe over 200 Presenters qualified for the cruise and although the Greece trip was for 10, there were a few tied places so more than 10 are actually going.  CLEARLY!  Its not them it’s me!

The qualifications were very clearly outlined.  Younique even adjusted the incentive requirements mid way to make it easier for people to achieve.  They are generous that way.  I just didn’t do what it took.

So, sitting on the banks of the Klutina River, watching The Hubs fish, I tried hard to look inside and see what the heck is going on with my business.  I think its obvious, I am stuck.  (ps.... it was a beautiful scene until a film crew showed up!  OUT OF NOWHERE and ruined our ZEN!  DUDE!  I can't make this stuff up!  Sitting in the middle of the wilderness, all alone.... just me and my HUBS then THIS HAPPENED....... a 14 person crew filming a reality TV show came plowing through the woods!  They are lucky they didn't get shot (by accident of course)...

 

When I started with Younique, we had NOTHING.  Not a thing.  No training tools, very little product, no direction.  It is a blessing more than a curse of course but it is more than clear that the Presenters coming in now are achieving much more and much more quickly than most Founding Presenters.  I think this is because we (I) have sacrificed our (my) own business to help our teams grow.  Building tools, holding trainings, creating websites, spreadsheets, graphics, training decks, conference calls, FB pages and groups. Everything that it takes to start up a biz, we had to create.  Even though a mass majority of those tools are available by Younique Corporate now, I think Im still stuck in that roll.  I think I like it there.  I love to mentor and cheer and guide and to be a resource to thousands.  However, I think it is keeping me from moving up to the next level with my business.  Did I mention that next level ranges between $20k-$40k more in income a month right now!  I NEED TO GET SERIOUS about letting go of the busy work and focus on revenue generating activities.

Let’s be real, Younique is paying me an ABSURD amount of money right now.  If I wanted to go to Greece I could literally go tomorrow!  BUT THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING! 

I want to go with my Ysisters! 

I want to be there with them when they are visiting about their business and brainstorming and sharing ideas. 

I want to be there with the company leaders and my friends in this business. 

I want to share in the photo opportunities and have that memory to look back on. 

I WANTED TO GO TO GREECE WITH MY PEEPS!

(stomping my feet and pouting)

Thank you for letting me vent!  I'm not a fan of negativity or rolling around in your sorrow.  I don’t live there… but even the most positive and productive people need to pass through there from time to time.  I’m over it now.  I will congratulate my fellow Ysisters and I will live through their photo’s and moments.  Most of all, I want to wish everyone who earned their places, safe and fruitful travels!

 

You can bet your cute little mumu that I will NEVER miss another YOUNIQUE INCENTIVE TRIP!

 

I would love to grow my team!  I would love the opportunity to interview as your SPONSOR!  

This month Younique is offering free shipping on Presenter Kits!  I'm here to help you launch your future with YOUNIQUE!  Visit my website for more information about our products and our company! 

Watch out!  I'M ABOUT to GET THE GEEK OUT.....

 Derek Maxfield, YOUNIQUE CO-Founder, Shared these amazing facts with us today!  I thought you might get a kick out of this EXCITING 411!

Presenter GrowthBy June 01, 2013 we had 611 Presenters total in the Younique Family.
This June 1 we reached 41,910 Presenters total in the Younique Family.
That’s 6,759% growth in case you’re wondering!
 

Corporate EmployeesIn June 2013, Younique had 7 employees.
This June Younique Corporate has grown to over 125 full-time equivalent employees.
That’s 1,686% growth!


Daily OrdersBy the end of May 2013, we were processing an average of 55 orders per day.
This May we processed an average 5,278 orders per day.
That’s 9,496% growth!  No wonder we are having to move into a new warehouse! 

Monthly SalesIn June 2013, our sales for the entire month were $169K.
On June 01, 2014 we processed $169K in sales before shipping even went home for the day!  Even if we used May sales numbers, which were 12.8 million, that’s 7,474% growth!  In 12 months! 

 WICKED AWESOME EH?  There are currently just over 44k YOUNIQUE Presenters GLOBALLY!  23,158 of them are in my company!  Since I only sponsored 51 of these beauties... the credit for this massive growth belongs with my AMAZING TEAM!  They ARE ROCK STARS!

 

As we are getting our sights set on launching in UK, I am very excited to have made a connection with a possible future Presenter there!  This is huge for my business personally because, as a leader in the company, I find it SHAMEFUL that I have zero personal connections with presenters in any of our foreign countries!  I'm very excited and hopeful for Nadia and so thankful that she connected with me!  What the heck kind of leader can I be if I'm not personally supporting someone in each of our active Countries?

I had to block a couple Presenters this month and it hurt my heart.....

I have a difficult time working with a blanket of negativity on a regular basis.  I don't see the value in moseying through life with a glass half empty attitude and a "woe is me" point of view.  I for sure struggle with vulgar and profane expressions and projections on innocent people.  It is amazing I suppose that with the sheer volume of people in my company that we don't get hit with more of this I suppose.  For that, I am certainly thankful!

This month, I had to remove some people from my group and from my friends list on FB.  I've never met these people in real life but it still stung a bit... yah know?

One time consuming and previously unconsidered issue with having a team so huge, is all the different personalities that come into your life.  The 'Human Resource' side of Network Marketing.  But, I am learning and growing and doing my best to influence positive and empowering feelings in my Company.  IM TRYING PEOPLE!

As of this morning, there are approximately 42,683 Presenters (GLOBALLY) with Younique.  We launched in Australia on May 1st and just launched in New Zealand on June 1st!  Of course we are already in the USA and Canada as well.

Of those 42k Presenters, 21,757 of them are in my Downline.  Clearly I don't have direct contact with all 22k of my team members.  Thankfully my leaders are LEADING!  But, I do have direct contact with several thousand and I LOVE THEM! Keep in mind, I am Founding Presenter #319 and launched my own business in Feb/2013.  Look how far we've come! Isn't this momentum INSANE?
 

Our Co-Founders recently announced that very shortly we will have confirmation that Younique is THE FASTEST GROWING DIRECT SALES COMPANY IN THE WORLD. 

EVER! 

IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! 

If you are or even if you aren't familiar with MLM then you know this is significant!

You can see my timeline of achievements with Younique by clicking here.  I am struggling to achieve BLACK STATUS again.  I haven't hit it since January this year.  It's VERY DIFFICULT to see all the money left on the table month after month once you've had a taste of it!  I am confident that JUNE IS MY MONTH to see it again and I'm super excited! 

When I started with Younique we had NOTHING!  No training, no back office, only a few products, no tools.  Just us!  My team was growing so fast that I made a decision early on to focus on supporting them.  For me, this meant spending time developing training tools and groups and calls etc.  Since I also have a regular full time job, and there are only 24 hours in a day, I had some tough choices to make.  Build my business, or help them build theirs.  I chose to help them build theirs.  I knew at that time that it would pay off and it certainly has.  But now, Younique has provided these tools and my team is so huge, I'm struggling to refocus on my own book of business.  Although my team doesn't need my daily interaction any longer, they still come to me and I still focus on them.  I'm thinking I need to find a way to balance pulling back some and focusing on my own business for a bit.  Otherwise, I can see myself sitting at PURPLE STATUS for eternity!  Meanwhile, those that come in TODAY, have everything in place that they need to plow forward.  It is very exciting to see so many BLACK STATUS presenters below me.  Many have achieved the highest status very quickly and lives are changing!  I was the 11th Presenter in the history of YOUNIQUE to achieve BLACK STATUS.  Isn't that an amazing thing?  I believe there are about 26 total now. 

I have tipped my toe in the DS industry so I know only enough to be dangerous. I know there are some people making BIG money in many companies. It's a beautiful thing.  However, I have never heard of this many people making this kind of money in the SAME company! Certainly not this early on.  I could be wrong of course.  But, everyone can achieve at Younique. There are no elitists, no secret, unattainable wealth clubs limited to only a select few.  Here, everyone is equal.  It doesn't matter if you joined last year or if you join today.  Work it, commit to it and its YOURS. 

I love Younique for this. 

 

I invite everyone to listen in tonight on the opportunity call hosted by my friend, Melanie Huscroft.  I will happily answer any questions you may have!  When you are ready to start your own MLM business, I hope you will consider YOUNIQUE and join me at www.FierceLash.com

 

 

In my personal life, The Hubs and I continue to travel quite often.  For work and play.  You can see some of our activity by Following my travel board on Pinterest!  When we aren't running around, we are enjoying the beautiful days in Alaska!

 

We are closing on a rental property, hopefully next week!  We are working with our financial planner to develop a plan to have The Hubs retire within the year.  We have a lot of dreams and plans and goals. We need to narrow down and focus our list!  EXCITING STUFF!
