Aloha,

 

This week Hurricane Douglas headed straight for the Hawaiian Islands.   My husband mentioned this was little out of the ordinary because they usually come up from the south and move closer to the southern part of the island chain and veer off when they hit our big mountain mass, leaving us a tropical storm of wind and rain, but no major damage.

 

This time the Hurricane headed north and it looked like it might touch every island along the chain, but to our amazement it just followed the chain and kept high enough that we missed a direct hit on any island.

 

Hurricanes are all about preparedness, and thankfully (or not) because of the pandemic we have NO tourists.  Usually we have hotels scrambling with their evacuation preparedness but this time we were preparing for our own safety.

 

However, I thought it was an OMEN for this time of year as we head into August. I believe August is that transition month in direct sales when we must be in a state of “readiness” and preparedness for the “BUSY” Season of the year.  

 

The months of September thru December are the busiest and most productive time of the year for direct sellers. I call it the “golden” time of the year!   Here are the reasons…

• People are back into routines with kids back to school (although this year may be different with Covid, but there will be a routine.)
• Family events – from Labor day on the “golden” time events are scheduled. And this year more than ever family will be finding a way to be together.
• Social events – This year will be smaller social events, but again, people will be eager to get together as Covid begins to ease up around the globe. 
• It’s the biggest gift giving time of the year, so people are ready to buy your products, and now they are interested in having ONLINE parties.
• More than ever people are engaged who are looking for new opportunities.  Some are changing professions, others want to work from home, so it’s one of the best times of the year to recruit new people

 

Successful entrepreneurs start every year by creating an annual plan and follow it through each quarter of the year.   That’s why AUGUST is the month to prepare and be ready for the last quarter of the year.
