Each day in December I will make a vlog (video-blog) about my trunk shows. I can’t wait to see what happens this month! Last month was a record breaker in so many ways!! We had our highest team volume, I had my highest sales & my BIGGEST $$$ paycheck!!!!!! It was mind-blowing! So I am a little late with starting this vlog marathon. I have already had 3 trunk shows and am at $2700 in sales…and still have 8 to go! This is sure to be my biggest month to date!
Today’s look is CAbi & the Olivia Bib.

This has been something I have always had to deal with. I have a go-go-GOOO personality. I am not Type-A, organized, procedural, or adept at time-management. And I think that may contribute to burn-out. If someone thinks of a way to do the mundane processes of life (ie-my husband thought of labeling the boys’ laundry baskets, rather than just mixing their clothes, or labeling their drawers-they share a room) I am all for it. BUT I don’t think of those things on my own. I have found that I can think of a million new ways to grow my stella & dot biz. And have created many different campaigns for our stylist community at large. I love social media/networking and the connections it provides. The drawback to all this, is that I don’t take the time to rest and relax. I have discovered a few things that work really for me:
spa dates
working out daily
10 minute mind breaks
protein shakes (I find I eat less when super-busy)
bed by 9
And this article from Oprah magazine has helped tremendously!! The author has hit the bull’s eye! And when you distill all we do in life, what’s the point, ultimately?? Happiness, Joy, Love!! Click HERE to read more on burn-out!

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.
