Smart Simple Systems for Your Direct Sales Business

Friday, December 10th, 2010

My mom is a no-nonsense woman. At 78 she still works part time, rides her horse almost every day, and is an inspiration as well as one of the most important mentors in my life. She always told me I could either lead, follow, or get out of the way. And that if I was complaining about a problem, I was part of the problem instead of the solution.

A few months ago I found myself complaining to a colleague about how I'm tired of hearing from frustrated direct sellers. I'm tired of understanding first hand the power of this industry and then witnessing so many people fail instead of succeed. And how there must be a way to change the results so many people are getting. I actually said to her, "Someone should do something about it!"

That's when my moms words hit me right smack dab between the eyes. So I stopped complaining and started really searching for a solution.

Let me give you a little background.

For almost five years, I've resisted offering a monthly membership program because of my own experiences with the ones I've joined myself. They've been too complicated, had too much information, and left me feeling more frustrated than helped each month when that charge showed up on my credit card statement.

I've joined two membership programs just this year alone and ended up quitting both in frustration because I was overwhelmed and didn't have time to utilize the information offered on the membership sites…not to mention finding the time to understand how to use the sites in the first place.

I know you didn't start your direct sales business expecting to fail! I know you're probably thinking (often), "There's got to be an easier way!" Let me just tell you, THERE IS, and I know how to teach it to you. I've got the systems, forms, programs, all of it. They've worked for literally thousands of direct sellers and I know they could work for you.

My problem? I haven't been able to figure out a really good way to deliver all of these great systems to you (and the thousands of other people who've been asking me for them) in a SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE way that would INSPIRE you to actually TAKE ACTION…

UNTIL NOW! This month I'm launching my "Smart Simple Systems for Direct Sales Success" Monthly Membership Program. Click here to learn all about it and check out a video message I made to explain more about how it works.

But wait a second…don't stop reading just yet. (This is like one of those infomercials…"but wait, there's more…")

Here's the best part (I saved it for last). Because you're a member of my online community, I'm offering you a 1/2 PRICE LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP in this program through the end of this month!

Oh, and if you're thinking this is going to be expensive and you can't afford it, THINK AGAIN. The cost, with the discount is only $14.95 per month! And there's no obligation and no risk. You can cancel at any time. Once we head into the new year, however, the price will permanently increase to $29.95 per month (which is still a great deal) and it won't come down again. By taking action now, you'll secure your spot in the program for 1/2 price FOREVER!

You Don’t Have to Get it All Done

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Below is a blog post I originally wrote almost two years ago. I ran across it sort of by accident (even though I don't believe there are any accidents) last week right after I returned from a yearly Annual Planning retreat with my mastermind group. The reason I found it so powerful (and that I'm posting it again here for you to read in case you missed it) is because I got the clear message during our retreat that I had to just slow down and learn to BE. To stop trying to steer the boat every second of the day and realize that my business is a living, breathing thing and some days, it may want to take me in a different direction than my carefully laid out plan might have thought. Then I read this and remembered that, when I actually do that, I'm much happier, more centered, and ultimately, more successful.

Here's what I wrote:

An interesting thing happened to me this week. I've actually worked fewer hours and gotten more done. Let me explain how this happened.

I belong to a mastermind group of like-minded women entrepreneurs. We meet over the phone on Monday mornings. Every week, we have to tell the group where we need support. This last Monday, I said I was feeling overwhelmed, like I would never have a chance to do everything on my to do list. They challenged me to put myself first (because when I get busy, self care is the first thing to go). I (reluctantly and sceptically) made the commitment to do that.

Tuesday morning I woke up, meditated for 30 minutes, read a chapter in each of the self development books I'm currently reading (Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and John Assaraf's "The Answer"), wrote in my journal, and worked out. I did all that before I ever walked into my office and turned on my computer. I did it in spite of the huge "to do" list I knew was waiting for me for the day. And I did it while ignoring my whiney ego, which kept screaming in my ear "YOU BETTER GET INTO THAT OFFICE! YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE IT ALL!"

I didn't get into my office until almost 10:00 Tuesday morning. I was peaceful and centered and completely shocked at 4:00 when everything on my "to do" list had been checked off. How did that happen with three less hours of work than usual? I've repeated this routine every morning this week, and have had one of the most productive weeks of my life.

What's the lesson? For me, it's self care before business. That's my new mantra. Because I've learned that when I take care of myself and I take the time to get focused on the energy that I plan to bring into my day, everything I need to accomplish my goals "magically" shows up and aligns with that energy.

My challenge to you? Give yourself the gift of self care starting tomorrow morning. You don't have to take an hour and a half like I do (although it's worth getting up earlier than usual for, I promise). Even if you just carve out fifteen minutes to sit and be quite before you start working, that's a great start. And you'll notice that the dividends it will pay in your business could be huge!

P.S. And don't listen to your ego. It specializes in lies, lies, lies!

"I have know Julie since 2002 when I met her at a seminar she did in
Omaha, Neb. I have been training with her ever since, because I learn something
new all the time and trust her because she has been where I am. When I ordered
her e-book "Powerful Language," I knew I would learn how the words I use could
help or hinder my business. I have to admit I didn't read it right away.

A few weeks later, when my bookings were almost non-existent, I opened it and read it cover to cover, highlighting like crazy!! In 10 days I tripled my bookings for the next two months and haven't stopped since!! Julie will not let you down if you just follow the easy language that she shows you."
Elizabeth D. Hinkle, The Pampered Chef

"Thank you so much for this book – I've just read it from end to end and LOVE it. I've read books from Build it Big and other direct selling coaches, and I totally "get" establishing relationships, but none of those sources was telling me how to do it – what were the actual words I needed to achieve it, so a huge thank you for putting your words down on paper!"
Ann Jobes, Steeped Fine Loose Tea

"I absolutely love this e-book!  I have read it 4 times since downloading it last week.  I feel more empowered when I am on the phone and in person with guests.  I keep repeating your words, 'What's in it for them!'  Thank you!"
Chris Kilby, The Pampered Chef
