What is your why for working your Mia Bella Business?
Mine started as a Plan B. Almost 2 years ago, a week before Christmas, my husband was laid off. It was our only source of income at the time and boy did that JOLT us a bit.Things did work out better than ever for him employment wise since then, but at the time, I wanted to find something that would allow us to have a back up income and a retirement income. I was also a sahm and needing something else to keep busy.
Along came Scent-sations and here I am today! I am pleased as punch to be with this fantastic company. My reason for staying with Scent-sations these past years? It just keeps getting better and better. New products, a newer even better compensation plan. I love it!I'm amazed at the growth of my team and customer base. I've met some great people and made new friends. It's just too fun!
Tried and true, I know this company is a winner!

My why is the amazing established fundraiser program. I see total potential in the product, the plan, and especially the company! I ended up retailing everything I get in just about, but didn't initially join for that reason, it just "sort of happened" if that makes any sense. Looking back, how could it NOT happen when the candles get passed around to show and smell!
I don't know what it is about these candles, but the fun I've been having trying to initiate fundraisers is incredible! I haven't had a single fundraiser yet, but I can't keep product in stock smileys/smiley36.gif
I already placed my first "leap of faith" order (an entire case where none were pre-orders) and I could afford to do that from my past retail sales. People are already asking me when that order will come in so they can check out what I am getting to see which one they will buy (they never say "if" I will buy, but "which" I will buy smileys/smiley36.gif)
I've since introduced the handsoap into the office "restroom" and already getting inquiries for those. Several people are getting orders ready because they want to give the candles as gifts to their friends and family for Christmas.
The one lady that inquired on the liquid soap let me know that her hands were never that "soft" after using hand soap and she came down a couple hours later and told me it's still amazing, she can still smell the scent on her hands! She was really hoping we had a SO&CP HAND LOTION....... I said unfortunately no, but I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't turn up sometime down the road smileys/smiley36.gifThat would be an awesome idea! Edited by: dreamakr36

My "why" is simple....
For 13 years I've watched my husband bust his tail to support us while I stayed home with the children. I was blessed with such a wonderful man. I've seen him stressed, over worked and extremely tired on too many occasions. Not only that, but he misses out on alot of family time. I've searched (and tried) just about every home biz opp out there with the dream of bringing my husband home and giving him thegift of being a full time dad.When I came across the Scent-Sations opportunity, reviewed the compensation plan and sampled the products...it was a no brainer. This business WILL make my dream a reality.
See you at the top!

That is awesome, Tracy. My why is a the same. And my children. Being able to be home with them, to not have to put my little guy in daycare and pick up my older son at school every day. My husband busts his rear every day for us, while also volunterring his time to his passion, which is coaching young pole vaulters, he is so good at that.I want him to be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a full time coach one day. I feel I have found the opportunity to be able to do that. LOL Everyone fulfill your dreams, it IS possible!
