If you were at today's training meeting and/or the Road Show - thank you! Susan and I were thrilled to have such a great turnout and to see everyone getting excited about Arbonne. I have been sitting at my computer this evening attempting to get some orders entered and the system is so busy that it just won't let me do what I want to do - how wonderful to be working with a company that so many people want to join and order products from! As you heard today, sales in Canada are up 50% from 2008 and in BC we are up 70% - sponsoring of new consultants has increased by 122% (Canada) and 161% (BC) in twelve months time - WOW!
I've been reflecting on some of the things that Arbonne has brought into my life while I've been working this evening - the most important and biggest is that the connections that I am making with all of you...we were asked by our ENVP Karen Skeels to write a goal and then what it would feel like when we accomplished that goal so I started writing, and I responded to Karen's email and then I just kept going...here is part of what I wrote to Karen...
My GoalOne goal that I have, and this is speaking today, as it has been what I would call an extremely busy month (and I am usually already a really busy person) is to do exactly what we have been talking about in the "Class of 2009" sessions (or what I have been listening to) and that is to have a day of rest - I can definitely put my head down on my pillow these days and say that I have worked hard in my Arbonne business and it is time to rest but I need a break....just for a day....so my goal is to rest and rejuvinate - and I will feel ready to get going again ~ maybe not tomorrow but very soon!
My thoughts...Today, I looked around - between Susan and I and our various teams that we are working with, plus our guests that we brought to introduce into the business, we filled four tables at the Road Show probably about 25+ people - I looked at the variety of women that we have attracted to work with us - they each have a story and they will each have their strengths with their Arbonne business - I will not be able to capture exactly the words that Alena spoke during our training session today but after Doreen explained how we all work together, regardless of which 'line' we fall under (e.g. the stuff that I do helps her even though I don't directly benefit from it), Alena said that she sees Arbonne as a big tree with a strong trunk and we are all the branches, each of our teams or our groups represented by bigger branches, little branches and then the leaves.
Alena - if you are reading this, please post a reply and say it better than I am. So much talent and so many wonderful women sharing their talents - that is really what Arbonne is about, isn't it - we are weaving a web of connection...who knows where we can all take each other...I know that I am becoming a better, stronger person because of what I am learning with Arbonne and the people that are being brought into my life.
For those of you who don't know already, because of all of our efforts,
Susan Pearse has reached qualification for Area Manager - this means that in January she accumulated 10,000 QV between herself and her teams working with her -
this is you - you are part of this team - one day your team will be doing this for you!
STILL the system is too busy to help me! While part of me yearns to be frustrated over not being able to get to do what I want to do, I am repeating to myself "I am thankful for the abundance that is being brought into the company of Arbonne because this abundance will be evident in the products, services and support that are available to me as an Independent Consultant".
I read somewhere today something that made me smile - last year someone coined 'look great in 2008 with figure 8' - I just read 'the Merecedes is mine in 2009'....cute
