Hi ,

I love this time of year when kids are getting back to school.  People are engaged in getting into a routine and developing habits and strategies to grow their business. Why?  Because it's the next four months that are the most productive time of the year.  In fact some industries do as much business in these next four months as they did in the former eight.  

In my feature article this week, I want you to imagine it's the first day of school in your biz.  Answer the questions in the article, write them down.  It will make a difference in the growth of your business this year.   

Want consistent bookings every week in the next 4 months?  If you did one a week that that would mean you'd have 18 parties.  How would that make a difference for you in your business?  Consistent bookings is about having CALENDAR CONFIDENCE.  Check out my blog article this week and take advantage of the continuing discount for the DIRECT SALES PLANNER. 

I want to thank ALL of you who ordered my new "Recruiting Blueprint Home Study System"  at the introductory price.  This system is still a great deal as I've offered a two-payment plan to help you learn these important skills in learning how to recruit and grow a million dollar team.  Learn more about this her

Get ready to ramp up your social media connecting in the next 4 months.  It's the most social time of the year.  Join my Facebook Biz page here and communicate with me and my tribe.  I have a whole strategy for each of my social media areas that I teach my clients. 

After you've read the feature article below, answered the questions and you say to yourself,  "I'm ready for the first day of school in my biz" then email me at mymentorbiz@gmail.com and connect with me for a 30-minute complimentary session to strategize your next four months and learn more about my coaching programs. 

Entrepreneurs, Get  that "Back to School" attitude in your business!

Love and Success,

First day of school for your Direct Sales Business. 

Mom's are you ready?  You've spent the last month getting the right school clothes, the right shoes and the right school supplies for the big day! 

You've been sharing inspiring words and motivating the kids that this day is going to be GREAT!  

And the day arrives!  Look at these two gorgeous kids. One is a first grader and has his backpack, his lunch box, his waterbottle, his black tennis shoes, black shorts and red t-shirt.  (That's how it goes in Hawaii.)  Of course the pre-schooler is only focused on looking the same as brother but he is also pumped for the first day of school. He knows it's only one year and he'll be going to the big brown school too!  They are READY!! 

Direct Sellers are you ready?  Maybe you're not a Mom, or you're like me and you're a grand(Mom), most of all you're a Direct Sales Entrepreneur and you have an awesome opportunity available in the next few months.  Are you ready for the most productive months of the year?  

Imagine today is the first day of school for your business.  What is your plan for the rest of the year?  Like the kids going back to school, what tools or supplies do you need in your business to take advantage of the most productive months of the year? 

September is the month you have NEW products to share.  Here are a few questions to ask yourself, 

  • Have you scheduled your new product launch party?
  • What theme have you chosen?
  • Have you chosen your booking dates for the next eight weeks?
  • What are you doing to fill those dates?
  • Have a plan to contact prime prospects?
  • What goals have you set for yourself personally?
  • What goals have you set for your team?
  • What incentives do you have in place?
  • What systems will you implement?

These are just a few questions to help you get ready for your FIRST DAY of school in your business. 

Most schools are in session from 8 till 3:00 pm.  Have you figured "your" schedule for this busy season?  Have you taken my time blocking exercise and figured exactly how much time you have to devote to holding parties, interviews, follow-up phone calls, networking, social media marketing, team meetings, and teleconferences?   

And, what about your mindset?  Are you inspired?  Are you motivated and ready to use these productive months to have your best year yet in 2014?  

These are all important questions. My intention in this article is to alert you to get ready for your first day of school in your business!   Make September count, get your goals in place, figure the tools you need and implement the systems you need to be ready! 

I'm ready for you!  What is your plan for creating results you want in the next four months?  I have two exciting coaching programs that are available to you now 

  • One is my L.E.A.P. Group Coaching program where we focus on
    • Learn, Earn, (take) Action and Persist with a coaching support and accountability program
    • These leaders are "action-takers" who are expanding their teams rapidly.
    • They are focused on implementing systems and strategies to  grow their team and their income.  
  • The other is my "Private" Coaching program
    • This is for someone who wants to partner with me and focus on specific actions to help you stay accountable to your goals.

When I began working with Gale I knew I wanted a 6-figure income.  The biggest thing that has changed for me is having systems. I have put many of Gale's famous systems into place. Her "Calendar Girls" helped tremendously in the growth of my team and has taught me systems that have helped me be organized in my biz.   In less than a year I have promoted to Senior Director, Premier Director, and now Executive Director! I had a team of 35 and now we are a team of 208! Gale shows me that it can be done and boosts my confidence and gives me the tools to be successful!

What's on Your Nightstand?

"Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Want to get inspired and excited about getting productive in the busiest months of the year?   There is ONE BOOK that I highly recommend (over many others.)  I believe it should be required reading for every direct seller.  In fact this month in our CG ACADEMY MEMBERSHIP program we are reading this book and having a special teleconference discussion group for leaders and their teams.

This book has been around for over 30 years, but the 13 principles laid out by Napoleon Hill are as prevalent today as they were years ago.

When you focus on mastering each one of these principles, you'll find you have the tools to achieve the goals you want.  I find many people just don't take the time to read this book because they think it's too old fashioned. 

Make it one of your "Back to School" resolutions to improve your life and your business and adopt positive thinking. 

His famous quote:

"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve"  

is the formula that will put you on the path to achieving your goals by the end of 2014.
