Success Meeting 2009

Congratulations to all the Ledford, Shepherd, and Goodrich consultants who joined us for Success 2009 in Worthington this past weekend. It really was a fabulous event! We were so honored to have Gary Jones, Vice President of Product Development and the Research Institute, visiting with us live! He feels like a personal friend now that we got to hang out with him for 2 days.

I think Alicia Hahn is living her fantasies, having gotten to pick up Gary from the airport and engage in casual conversation with him during that trip! That will be a long-remembered experience for her, I'm sure!

We were also privileged to have been visited by Dave Halverson, Group President of Tupperware North America (BC's Parent Company). He spoke to us about the strength of our company and our career plan as well as the importance of staying focused and engaged in our business on a daily basis in order to create as much success as we desire.

One of the highlights of the event was our Book-A-Thon on Saturday afternoon. There were 149 consultants in attendance and in 20 minutes we were able to book 212 Spas! Isn't that awesome?! I know some of those will be going onto our unit calendars - so that's exciting.

Chimene Ross challenged us to get truly connected with why we love BC - what's our most important reason we love BC? She said one of her leaders' answer was, "I love the woman I've become with BeautiControl and I'm excited about who I'll be years from now as I grow with this company." How beautifully stated! Secondly, re-define your "why". Why are you in this business? That reason effects the decisions you make about the daily activities you need to do. Attaching one particular household bill to your BC income will help you to stay focused. If you know your car payment or mortgage has to be paid with Spa Income, then you will be more committed. Chimene's last challenge was to decide today that this year, you will show up for work. If you worked for someone else and just hung out in the break room all morning drinking coffee, you wouldn't have that job for long! So, make yourself some work-orders and then go to work.

We had a fun, inspiring, empowering weekend. I know it was the boost many of us needed to get focused again and to re-connect with what we love about being business-owners.

Blessings to each of you for a Prosperous 2009!
