Seven Steps to a Serious Business

Seven Steps to a Serious Business

"Success is understanding that life is choices, not chances"



Sometimes our customers and hostesses just don't take our business seriously. Have you ever gotten a message from a hostess who has just cancelled her party for that night and thought to yourself, "Doesn't she realize this is how I pay my bills and make my income? I won't be able to replace that party at this point!"
Perhaps you've talked with a hostess on the day of her party only to hear that she has only two guests coming and it's an hour and a half drive for you to get to her house.
Just like others of us, you might find yourself thinking at times, "Do they think I leave my family, drive to their home, and spend 2 hours with them just for fun?"
It certainly isn't the way we want to feel. We do want to share our product, make sure they have a great time and teach them something new, but if we're honest with ourselves, I don't think many of us would do this that two nights a week just for fun. We do it to earn an income. We do it to enhance the lives of our family.
How do we get our customers and hostesses to take our business seriously? To understand that we count on our parties for income?

Smarter NOT Harder: Streamline your Newsfeed (a.k.a "Home" in Facebook)

Streamline your Newsfeed (a.k.a "Home" in Facebook)

Part 2 of Facebook tips!  Here's Part 1!
Here are some tips to avoid insanity, and increase productivity!  We all know that we should focus on IPAs (Income Producing Activities) and many times Facebook, and other sites, fall into a hopeless gray area.  There are connections to be made, groups to join, parties to lead, information to consume, trainings and recognition OH MY!  There are also distant relatives, college friends with cute babies, endless options for Jamberry "sharing" groups, and the ever-alluring political/religious/social justice/activist/memes and their associated witty, engaging (and of course always correct!) commentary.

  1. See a previous post on using Interest Lists to streamline your newsfeed
  2. Use the "See First" feature to see what YOU want to see:
