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+!

I'm EXHAUSTED!  But it's BLISSFUL exhaustion!


WOW!  What a week I've had!  In the last 4 days I traveled from Anchorage, AK to Fairbanks, AK then from Fairbanks back to Anchorage then from Anchorage to Vegas and from Vegas back to Anchorage!  and....BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED (buh-dum-dum)!

In Fairbanks I was able to see my son at the airport!  Passing like ships in the night!  He was coming in as I was headed out!  There is ALWAYS time for kiss, a hug and a SELFIE!  He works as a Firefighter and Medic at Kuparuk which is in the Prudhoe Bay Oilfields at the very tippy top of Alaska... GOOGLE IT!

I was also able to meet with one of my favorite people in the WORLD!  SueAnn! 

SueAnn was the second person to join my Younique adventure.  She is also a Founding Presenter and she is one of my First Generation Elites!  Its so nice to spend one on one time with other leaders in our company.  Its rare!  Mostly because we are all so busy managing our own books of business!

 

SueAnn is HILLARIOUS!  Here she is mimicking the cover photo from our Fall 2013 Catalog!  CRACKING US UP!  Love that woman!

I saw a few other team members while I was there as well.  BUSY 12 hours!  PHEW!

This weekend was my only free weekend in MONTHS and I needed to pop into our home in Vegas to take care of a few things so OFF I WENT!  While there, I was so fortunate to be able to interview with an amazing woman named Susan!  I'm so hopeful she chooses me as her sponsor.  Regardless, Younique will be lucky to have her!  So many beautiful women with so many amazing stories! 

I met with Katrina which was GREAT FUN and she gifted me this awesome 3D Keychain!  HOW SWEET IS SHE? 

Vegas is always GREAT but I made one HUGE, ROOKIE, Direct Sales mistake that I still can't stop thinking about!  Wanna hear what it was?  CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO RECAP OF  MY MISSADVENTURE!  Hindsight is always 20/20 right? 

BELIEVE YOU ME!  I more than made up for this on the plane ride home!  The poor guy next to me went home with a catalog and 4 business cards with a challenge to give them to 4 very specific types of women!  LOL!  Oddly, I don't think he thought I was nuts at all....  hmmmm....

I have had sleeping issues for years.  Before I even started working my Younique business, it was very rare that I would experience a full 4 hours+ of sleep!  I'm not sure why exactly.  I did all the right things.  I have a beautiful and relaxing environment, set to the ideal temperature, fine linens, a great mattress, perfect pillows... THE WORKS!  I've read every article, consulted my doctor, changed my eating habits, taken sleep aids...I've TRIED IT ALL I TELL YAH!  No dice!

Then I started my Younique business (Mar 2013) and for the first 6-8 months NEVER slept.  Literally didn't sleep more than a couple hours at a time.  But, the difference was, I had my business to work on instead of laying there in bed, frustrated that I was awake when I should have been sleeping!  I WORKED ALL THE TIME!  I loved it!  It really isn't work at all of course if you are doing something you are MADLY IN LOVE WITH right?  SO TRUE!

For about the last 3 months or so I haven't had any problem sleeping at all.  My brain is so exhausted each night, I just seem to collapse in the sack!  LIGHTS OUT the instant my head hits my pillow!  Sleeping every night with a huge smile on my face.  That has been a great improvement!

For the last couple of weeks I have been feeling exhausted though.  Like during the day.  I think I need to work on setting some office hours and finding a bit more balance.  I don't feel stress about it but I don't like feeling tired during the day either.  Im exhausted but it is BLISSFUL EXHAUSTION!

If you struggle with no sleep...I invite you to feel BLISSFULLY EXHAUSTED WITH ME!
