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.

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!

YOUNIQUE IS A 75 MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY!

Younique is a 75 million dollar company (annualized based on current month revenue) and we've been in business for less than 18 months!  I am near the very top as a Founding Presenter.  My branch of the company is well over 1/3 and nearly half of the entire total in Younique.   
To my friends, family and customers that have have remained supportive and understanding of what I am building for my family and why, I'm forever thankful.  Many have sacrificed.  Especially my husband who has been 100% supportive.  Mostly my own sacrifice as I have been working the equal to 2+ full time jobs for over a year now.  To my friends and family and customers who are wishing now they had taken me up on my offer to help you launch your own Younique business a year ago... IT'S NEVER TO LATE!  We still have fewer than 20k Presenters worldwide and are getting ready to launch in the UK, AUS and New Zealand.  I encourage you to do your own research on Younique and its Founders and you will see why Younique is the exactly right company, with the exact right products at the exact right moment in the current market.  When you are ready, I would love for you to consider me or one of my leaders as your Sponsor. I can connect you with the right person to best support you and to help you grow.  Even if that person isn't me.

I've been MIA for awhile but plan to get back to blogging SOON!

It has been an insane few months as you can see by MY GROWTH CHART.
Please don't give up on me!

Everyday is payday at Younique. 

However, at the end of the month we are paid Royalties on our downline and this amount is deposited in a lump sum!  Today is ROYALTIES PAYDAY AT YOUNIQUE!

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!!
