I love to save $$. I shop thru eBates when I shop online. I have had lot’s of stylists ask me how this works. So, here ya go!
Do you like Norstroms, Saks 5th Ave, The Body Shop, Home Depot, Target, Sears, Kohl’s…. you name it! Almost all the great online shopping can be found thru eBates! Every couple months I receive checks from them for the cash back I earned. And all you have to do is start your online shopping thru ebates.com!!
Ebates is the pioneer and leader of online Cash Back Shopping. The company was founded in 1998 by two Deputy District Attorneys in Silicon Valley who used to prosecute online fraud & identity theft before starting Ebates (so you can be sure we are very into secure online transactions!). So go ahead, sign up and start shopping now. Joining Ebates is always free – you’ll never pay us anything. And four times a year or more, we’ll mail you a Big Fat Check, or transfer the money to your PayPal account if you’d prefer. We can even send the money to your favorite charity. All 100% free.
People often ask: “This sounds too good to be true, how are you able to do it?” It really is quite simple. Just like almost every other online shopping center, we get a commission from the stores when you make a purchase. Instead of keeping that money – like almost all other sites do – we share it with you!
So, as long as 1500+ of the world’s top online stores are happy to pay a bonus to attract the new, valuable customers we send their way, Ebates is going to continue to send Big Fat Checks to our satisfied customers across the globe.

I have set up an online trunk show for Super-Storm-Sandy victims. I have so many team-members affected by this crazy storm! It’s just unreal!! I am donating 100% of my commissions to this Benefit. So buy yourself a pair of studs or get a gift for someone special, “Just Because”. My love-language is gifts! I think that is why I am so smitten with Stella & Dot!!
I find myself very thoughtful & grateful on Sundays. I am grateful that I own my business. That I determine when I work and when I don’t. I am grateful that my income has exploded every year since I started in direct sales. And that I don’t have to worry if we wake up in the middle of the night because one of my kids has gotten sick.
Today I want to share with you how to make a plan to DOUBLE your Income & TIME-OFF in a year! Yes, I know you can do it! But you must zero in with laser-sharp FOCUS! I learned this lesson, very recently, as I had started doing some internet marketing consulting for Mercedes-Benz, alongside my stella & dot. I struggled with the new added responsibility and learning new procedures for that endeavor. I sadly watched my stella business falter and struggled with the fact that I needed to quit working for Mercedes. I quit on Thursday. YAY! Now, I sit here & reflect on the lessons learned. Namely: STAY FOCUSED! As I look over my last 3.5 years with my stella, I have realized over 300% growth in income!
I have learned that 3 core tasks remain the most important to moving my business forward. They are-prospecting, follow-up, & planning! I know that I need to spend the majority of my time on these 3 tasks to perform at my best. And my best is not everyone else’s best, rather it is the best that I can be to achieve MY DREAMS!
Plan to Double Your Income: Apply the Law of 3
1-write a list of everything you do (tasks) to move your business forward…try doing this a few different times in a week to cover all bases.
2-circle the TOP 3 most important tasks…assign, delegate, outsource the rest!
3-now, identify the 3 most important GOALS in each area of your life. Make a plan to work towards them daily.
Please comment BELOW with the 3 Most Important Goals you have for your business RIGHT NOW…..
Here some more tips from my YouTube channel, by another favorite author, Darren Hardy:
A look inside our Soho Design Studio with Blythe Harris-our Chief Creative Designer & Alice Temperley-UK design collaborater! She designs for Kate & Pippa Middleton.
To do this business as a business builder you must be disciplined and make calls. That is just a fact of the sales world. The beauty of stella & dot is that once people know us, they are easy calls to make! But if you live in a new/underserved market you will face a few challenges. But don’t worry, I have launched my business in 4 very different markets across the US in my 3.5 yrs with stella. And I have been successful in every market-rural or metro. But my key to success was mindset & action. It would be very easy to quit at times, but I have a goal: to earn enough $$ to pay the mortgage & PAY OFF the student loan debt. Someday, sooner than later, we hope to scream: WE’RE DEBT FREE!!! Also, I have worked in other sales positions and I absolutely think stella & dot is the place to be. I am so happy with the stylist community, training and the line is simply irresistible!
How do you keep your head in the game?
1-have a goal, then make a plan!
2-schedule the time to do the work! I call it Smilin’ & Dialin’!!
3-don’t allow yourself a ‘back door’. Your business depends on your consistency & positive mind-set, but if you tell yourself, “Well, we’ll just see what happens….not much will happen!
4-discover what fills you up & make sure you do it! Eat well, exercise, yoga, a massage, whatever makes you feel peace.
And last but not least, remember: …..if you treat your business like a hobby, you’ll have $$ to play with. If you treat your business like a business you’ll earn SERIOUS $$!
When i send out my redstamp (iPhone app) invite & reminder i am offering a little incentive to bring a friend. Not only will this up the attendance but you’ll note it says ‘with order’ so they have to order to receive this offer. Cost to you is $18 for the 2 BUT the commission from their orders should off set this (you know they are not JUST buying the bracelet) and you now have 2 customers/potential hostesses or stylists for $18! Claire Malone & I came up with this one!!
Here is your Redstamp to share:
♥ I did this last night! And it worked!! 2 guests brought 2 friends. And the show is almost at $1000 in sales! My other WHITE HOT TIP is to bring and burn a stella candle and let the hostess keep it if the show goes over $1000. The candle sets the ambiance and smells so AMAZING. (share these 2 little incentives in your hostess coaching-say something like I am doing something really special for your guests, it’s xyz….)
