Small Business Saturday | Scentsy Boxes

I tried something new with some of my customers this week, and I am pleasantly surprised how well it went! A fellow Scentsy sister of mine came up with the idea of a monthly box full of Scentsy products, kind of like a subscription but not really because we do not keep your payment method on file or draft a monthly fee. You can choose to opt in on the box that month or pass! 

So many of my customers stay in the realm of wax and warmers- which is totally fine. They find something they love and stick with it, I do it too! But I wanted to show them all the different things we offer and showing them how affordable they are as well! Nothing is discounted to make a sale, and the boxes range anywhere from $30 to $50 depending on the products that month. Always full size products, never sample size. 

This month we did a counter clean, washer whiffs, scent circle and two bars of wax. It was a hit! I do the boxes for 9 people, but I am sure I could add more if the demand is there for them. I am really excited about this method and I know my customers are going to love it. Its a great way to try other products and maybe find a new favorite! 

The next box will start the end of August and full of NEW fall products from our 2017 Fall/Winter catalog. I am SO ready for cooler weather and warmer, cozier scents! Who's signing up next month for this awesome box! I hope to see your name on my list! 

#PURPOSE

I have taken some time to focus on me and the goals I have for myself in my near future. We all have a calling, we all have SOMETHING that we dream to be. For a while, I am almost positive that I lost that little light guiding me. I got SO wrapped up in being a mother that I forgot about the woman inside. What SHE wanted. Where SHE wanted to take her life. Don't get me wrong, I lovelovelove being a Mother. Staying home with them is honestly a dream come true, but that doesn't mean all my other aspirations have to stop. I am blessed with the opportunity to be home. I gave myself the gift of a home business in 2013 and not to brag- I was good at it. I enjoy marketing, I enjoy meeting new people, helping others grow.

The last couple months I have felt something PUSH me in the direction of finding my purpose. What am I here for? Surely its more than being a wife and a mother. Where am I supposed to direct this DRIVE inside of me to do better, to be better, to LIVE better. I have already taken my stance on changing my health and holding myself accountable for a better lifestyle. Check. I already dedicate myself to being a great mother to my children, and I try my best to be the wife my husband needs. Check-Check. So what was missing? Why do I feel like I am not doing enough.

Well thats easy to answer. Because in my eyes, I am not.

I am taking my Scentsy business by the horns and RUNNING with it. Full force, boss babe, wax slinging, home business marketing, WORK. No longer am I going to sit at home stagnate in my life. You know that quote- "Be the change you want to see". Hello new life motto. I have so many exciting ideas for my business, and I hope you will stick around to cheer me on as I strive to grow. I have every single tool I need to be successful, at this point its blocking out the negativity that comes with social media and network marketing.

We don't have to live mediocre lives. We don't have to live to pay bills. We don't have to wonder what our purpose is. We all have one. Are they all different, sure. Find your purpose, find your WHY and run with it. I promise, you only regret the chances you never take.

Small Biz Saturday | Scentsy Lady

My husband is in the military, which means we move, A LOT! As a spouse it can be hard to have a career of my own and I found this out a few years ago upon our move to a new base. We were living in El Paso, Texas and the language barrier was REAL. It was impossible to find a job if you did not speak Spanish, we were struggling to pay bills and living check to check. We didn'
t have babies at this time and I desperately wanted to work. I sent resume after resume, even tried to go back to school in a different field. Nope, none of it worked and I was STILL unemployed. This was a hard pill to swallow for someone who just left a great job in another state.

A friend of mine started an in home business called Scentsy. I had no idea what it was and even though she had talked to me about it and joining her team I really had no desire to. A few months went by and I finally gave in, I NEEDED an income. I NEEDED to help my husband. To my surprise my business really took off, selling one thousand dollars worth of product in my first month! I built a team of nineteen wax slingers, promoted one step under Director and then quit.

Yep. You read that right. I gave up.

I had two babies, a husband in the military, a disease and no motivation to make the sales I needed to stay a consultant. So I stopped trying. I went inactive. Last year I decided to sign back up. I cant help but kick myself when I think about where I could be right now had I never thrown in the towel. If i never got inside my own head and told myself I couldn't do it anymore. YOU become your thoughts. They are so powerful. My sponsor just went on a PAID vacation to South Africa because of Scentsy. She quit her job as a nurse because she was able to from her monthly commissions. I strive to be there one day!

IF you have animals or garbage stank in the house, I have something to help. Gross gym bag? Check. Toddlers in the car? Got that too! Laundry piling up, you guessed it- I can help! IF you dream to be your own boss, and run your own business I can help you get there! I know how to sling wax, build teams, things you NEED to thrive. Home based businesses are great for military spouses because no matter where you live or move- your business goes with you. Stop looking for new jobs and start being the employer!
