This last weekend (4th of July) I spent quite a bit of time being THANKFUL for my freedom.  Thankful for all those that gave so that I may have.

 For me, freedom comes, in part, from FINANCIAL FREEDOM.  Although The Hubs and I have always managed our money well, stayed out of debt, earned higher than average incomes, invested etc...  The last 8 months with YOUNIQUE have changed everything we thought about our future and what is possible for us.

The Hubs and I went camping (again... I KNOW!  BUT WE ONLY HAVE LIKE 10 weekends a year we can go!) and we spent a lot of time discussing our future, our possibilities, our freedoms.  Everything we do, we do for our family and the future of our family.  Younique and Network Marketing companies in general, are an answer to the prayers of so many.

Have you met my beautiful family? 

I loved this video posted today by Eric Worre  on his website today!

PLEASE WATCH and consider what FREEDOM means to you then SHARE those thoughts with your loved ones.  Work them into your goals and your dreams and be thankful and GROW!

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!

In honor of Fathers Day, I'd like to introduce you to my family.

 

Yesterday, I posted on my Facebook page the following in honor of The Hubs.  He is a brilliant Step father to our kids.  Then that got me thinking... maybe I would share a little bit of my family with my blog followers.  Mostly because I've given birth do the most beautiful children in the world and it really isn't fair that I keep them from you!

 

 

"Of course", he said...... 'I'll love his kids like they are my own. I'll give everything I have to them. I'll support them financially, emotionally and lovingly. Without thanks, without question, without doubt. Forever. Because I love you, I love them. They are mine.'

 

He has made good on his word from 16 years ago. Picked up where another man left off. Stood back when he came then stood up when he went. To me, my husband has been the best possible example of a father. Doing the dirty work without question. In it consistently and reliably. Committed. I thank God every day for the biological father of my children. Without him, I wouldn't have the foundation of this blessed and happy life. But, that's nothing compared to the life we have now thanks to the man who is a dad to them today and everyday for the last 16+ years. Thank you and Happy Fathers Day to The Hubs. The man I chose for them. For us. It gives me peace to know I made the right choice.

 

 

So there you have it... a quick snippet into my life.  I am working on an ABOUT ME video.  Not that I think you are all just DYING to know me and my life.  I recognize that we all have a story.  I love hearing others.  I want to do a video because I am working on getting to know everyone and networking and I want you to see my life.

 

My family is a huge part of my support system and why I have been so successful with Younique.  I'm so thankful.  The Hubs is my rock!

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?

When you buy something from Younique, or from any MLM company, have you ever wondered where your money goes? 


One of the beautiful things about a Direct Sales business is that your Presenter or Consultant can tell you EXACTLY WHERE IT GOES!

I thought this was an important exercise for my business.  So much so that I made a video about it to share with my customers and my team.   You can view that video by CLICKCING HERE.

I feel, that if we, as Independent Presenters with ANY MLM company, can somehow use this tool to educate our customers, there are many that would find value in this information.

I have a personal relationship with my entire upline that benefit from my efforts.  Even the Founders of YOUNIQUE.  I know their families and their mission for this company and I am 100% ON BOARD!  I would love for you to learn more about the Founders BY CLICKING HERE.

When someone buys makeup at the grocery store or department store, that information isn't nearly as available or as personal.

So, a quick note of THANKS to my customers and supporters.  I thought you would enjoy meeting the women who's lives are impacted because you chose to buy make up and skincare from ME!

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!

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!
