How bad is it to go on holiday 3 times in a year without the rest of your family and have the BEST time ever??!! Thats ok, right?
I mean, I work hard. Really hard. So I deserve thebreak...don't I?? May 2013 - All expenses mediteranian Cruise. January 2014 - Cancun Mexico. May 2014 5 days in Greece........
This direct selling/party plan malarky isn't easy. It's not skipping through fields of customers who can't get their money out quick enough to buy your goods, only to find the street lined with eager, self motivated and focused, business savvy hoards fighting to join up to your team, and be in your gang.
No-one said it was easy. Simple, yes. You sell Scentsy, you make a bit of money. You ask people if they want to sell Scentsy and they make a but of money, you make a bit more money. You train those people to do what you do and keep asking people and keep selling and before you know it you are actually earning a very nice income, the one you were told you'd never get from a direct selling company.
3 years on and I've got fed up, bored & manic. But I've never thought about not continuing. I didn't have the £94 for the starter kit to join up. That was a huge amount of money, especially to a working Mum who would never spend more than £10 on a pair of shoes for herself.
It took a lot of soul searching to not feel guilty for spending my time on working Scentsy. For doing events at the weekend and parties in the evenings. But when your Scentsy pay means that you can actually buy Christmas presents, that alone makes it all worth while.
In one weeks time I will be slight South of Athens with 40 other Consultants that worked hard and earned a week in the sun. All expenses paid. And you know what we will all be thinking? "The kids would love this...."
But do you know what Scentsy has done for me? Above everything else? It's reminded me who I am. Who I was before I was Mum. I am so devoted to my little family that I can't walk into a shop without my attention being diverted to what the kids might want. For the first time in 12 years I have time to myself. I can get up and do what I like. Finish a meal, make plans, don't make plans, take a walk, sit undisturbed and have a full conversation. You know I had clean forgotten what that was like.This next week is more than a free trip. Thank you Scentsy, and thank you to all of my customers, hostesses, team members, family and supporters who helped me pave the way :)
