Be Your Best In 2011

Welcome to the Cierra Ashley Blog
This blog will give you ideas and information to help you grow your business.   The information for today will be taken from Mary Christensen…. "Being Your Best" 
Get a paper and pencil and write down “This year I am going to settle for more.”   Everyone settles for something so why settle for less?  Whatever you have to deal with in your life, give yourself permission to succeed.   Just make a decision that no matter what, you are going to be successful.  There are always going to be stumbling blocks put in your way.  Sometimes they may slow you down but don’t give up.  Be determined that you will not stop working for your dream.
Find one goal so powerful that every time you think about it your heart bursts!  It could be a family vacation to some place wonderful; it could be paying off a bill or being able to stay home with your children.  Don’t think it’s going to be easy. Stick with it no matter what life throws at you.  Remember….One goal, one year.  Be patient.  Don’t expect results over night.  99% of failure in this business is because, One, we over estimate the challenge and under estimate ourselves.  Two, we have all the skills we need to succeed in this business in our DNA but instead of using them. We turn strength’s into sabotage.
v  Book parties in the first three weeks of the month.  Then you won’t be scrambling at the end of the month to make your goal.
v  Don’t forget to make your calls.  We don’t make calls because we don’t want the reaction.  We’re afraid they might turn us down or not like our product.  Don’t take it personally.  Most people appreciate the calls.  Put order forms by the phone to help remind you to make the calls.
v  Give yourself a small reward after you have made your calls.
v  Put bangles on one wrist and move them to the other as you get things done.
v  Learn when to stop talking.  Sometimes we say too much.  When you act like a predator, people will run like prey.  Beware – enthusiasm can be seen as predatory behavior.
