Life is Not Always Easy- Motivation in business
0How do we keep motivation in business and stay positive about our life? I am going to shot straight with you, its hard to be motivated about your business, when you have three kids at your feet begging for your attention and quite frankly I want to put everything aside and play with them. They are my world and my future to mold, I want them to know that there mom puts them first. Sadly that doesn’t put food on the table and money in my bank. It is hard to stay positive in a business you hear “No” a lot. What are we supposed to do, manage our time wisely? Plan for failure? Work hard? Well I’m doing that, what now?
It’s times like these I love to remember the Proverbs 31 wife, now she was God’s great example of an incredible women, in fact so incredible I will never live up to her standards. “The heart of her husband safely trust her, So he will have no lack of gain, She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She grids herself with strength and strengthens her arms,……. She extends her hands to the poor, she reaches her hands to the needy…..She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known at the gates,….. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor our her clothing, She opens her mouth with wisdom, and her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household,….. Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also and praises her; Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all. Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a women who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” (Proverbs 31)
What bad thing can be said about this women except that she sounds exhausted! I want to be more like her. I want to go out and make the right business decisions that only affect me positively. I want my peers around me to think positively about me always. I want to always look my best and put my best foot forward. I want my family to call me blessed. I want people to want to listen when I speak because I full of wisdom and not foolishness. How do you do that? Easy Pray, Pray that God has a hand in your company and that you are being talked about by those around you positively, Pray that you are making the right decisions for your family and not just you. Pray that God can bless you and your business in ways that will add to your territory. Read I Chronicles 4:10, Call upon the Lord saying, “Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand will be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!”. Prayer works!!! Let me know how we can pray for you!

Lets Make Money, Together! – setting business goals
0
The new year can bring on so many promise’s and resolutions!! Setting business goals is one of them. I wondering whats yours? What are you going to allow your self to do or to be this year in you Home Party Business?
As a business mom, I can assure you at the top of my list is going to be my family and making sure they know how much I love them and how much they mean to me! I want them to feel treasured and know their “love tank” is full. My family will always come first and its important to make sure to let them know that.
As a business women, I want to make more money this year and get my business more established. I have a few things to help us stay focused and reach our goals together for the new year.
First off you need to sit and write your goals out. Allow yourself two hours of brain storming, have a note pad, figure out exactly what you want out of your business and what kind of success you want to achieve this year. Does your company have levels of success that you aspire to be on? I was working at a company that gave Mercedes Benz’ away at a certain level of success, I wanted it! At the time, I didn’t allow myself to dream that big, I just wanted to make a few extra hundred dollars!! By writing down your goals and setting them in place, you allow yourself a framework of what you want out of your Home Party Business specifically. Make your goal attainable in your time table of success. Make sure your goals are relevant to what you are doing at the time, if your goal is to run the company some day, great, but not realistic for the first year. I want you to dream that big, I want you to be successful!! I want you to realize that there is a spot for you in your company. You have the right to be as successful, if not more, than the person who signed you up!!
Value yourself and don’t underestimation what you can do and be, invest in your business and in yourself!! One way to do that is advertise and drive new business to your doorstep without even having to try. I like to say make your self “googleable”, set yourself apart from your competition by being on-line with everything, Facebook, twitter and emails!
Work with your team (up team or down team), not against them!! Help your team by coming up with new ideas and plans to be more successful together. Try a teleclass seminar as a team! Barb will help your team as a whole drive more business, and I will bring you the secrets of people I know to get you to that next level!
