Hi Ladies,


I thought it would be nice to share some of our goals for 2006. I hope in posting a few of mine, other will be inspired. I wish everyone success in 2006.


Ok, here are a few of my goals for the year:


1. Create a personal website
2. Send a sample of the COTM to all customers. (I do not want to the have to guess anymore as to what it smells like)
3. Have a sale or special every other month for customers
4. Pass out 5 business cards or brochures everyday
5. Touch bases with everyone on my team once a week!


6. Attend Spring Fling
7. Complete 3 fundrasiers this year
8. Become Double Diamond as well http://www.cwahm.com/messageboard/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif


I think that is it for now! Who is next?


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Natalie,

this is totally not on topic, but is that a STAFFORD in the photo you've got as
your avatar???

Hi Kitt,


Yes, that is my little pitbull baby! He is only 3 months in that picture but he is the biggest baby in the whole wide world. I guess that is why I named him "Baby"


Many Blessings,


Natalie

I just *new* that had to be a staffy! My gal Pennels is eight years old and I
adopted her all the way from South Africa when she was a pup.
I'm convinced that Staffordshire Bull Terriers are actually ANGELS in
DISGUISE!smileys/smiley36.gifAren't they the best?!

Baby makes a great mascot!smileys/smiley2.gif

Hi Kitt,


OH YES! I think that are the best dogs ever. They really do get a bad name. I am a Staffy owner forever. He is my 3rd one! I just can not get enough of them.


I am glad to see I am not the only one!smileys/smiley17.gif


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Very cute, Nat! I see you are a fellow animal lover! I love animals! My friends tease me that I will become one of those "cat women". I only have three, but I have a hard time saying no when a new pet needs a home - lol. OOHH There is a cardinal in by bird feeder right now and it looks so beautiful against the white snow!


As far as my goals - My first goal is to sit down and write my goalssmileys/smiley36.gif.


Here are a few I am thinking of off the top of my head:


I need to organize my desk (I was hoping for a computer armoire from Santa, buthe didn't bring me one)


I need to organize all my reciepts for tax time


I need to work on following up with some customers/potential recruits


Develope a team training strategy for new recruits


I need to work on a January newsletter and decide when to have my open house


I plan on researching advertising prices


I need topre-make my sample packets - I did this last time and it saved a ton of time.


I got an organizing book for Christmas (I picked it out and dh laughed and said that "yes this is for you" lol) and I think it will help organize everything, including the house.

Speaking of sample packets....
How do you girls prefer to grind up your votives for your sampler baggies?


With a hand grater?
In the food processor?


My monster-in-law ( smileys/smiley36.gif) got me a mini food chopper for christmas and I already have a full sized one. Figured it could be put to good use for that...


I was just being nosy and wondering how you all did it.


:) Emily

Hi, Emily, I was grinding them in a cheese grater that looked like a pepper grinder, but found that using a hammer was faster and made even less mess. Plus is is great therapy - the kids love it too

Hi Emily,


I actually bought the Deluxe Cheese grater and container from Pampered Cheffor my votives. It is so nice. I need to try the hammer technique.


Many Blessings,


Natalie

Hi emily, I use a food chopper and it takes like one minute. it makes it real soft and I so far have no problems with it. I got it at walmart awhile ago, its the real small one. its real quick.

I simply place a votive between two pieces of wax paper and crush it. Primitive, I know. smileys/smiley36.gif


Sarah

FYI - the hammer trick is fast, no mess and kid friendly! Just put a magazine down and hammer lightly! Does the trick in about 10 seconds and NO CLEAN up. I put it in a plastic bag first!

Hi everyone. I have not posted in a few days or so, not enough time in the day for everything. Here goes my goals that I have thought of off the top of my head a few min. ago.


1. Lose 70 pounds


2. Make Mia Bella a known name in the town I live in


3. Recruit, recruit, recruit


4. Income--Make at least 1/2 of what my f/t job pays per month


5. Do at least 3 events (expos)


6. Do at least 3 fundraisers


I guess that about sums it up for right now. I am sure that as the year goes on I will add to the list.

Fantastic Goals, Kim! Good for you! smileys/smiley32.gif

Kim,


Those are wonderful goals! Remember your "WHY' and nothing will be able to stop you.


Many Blessings,


Natalie
