I want to share this with you because honestly what this symbolizes is VERY important to me. When I left my own brand over 5 years to join keep my major motivation was that FINALLY I would have a platform to use my coaching and business skills to help other women do what I have done for years on my own. I could be a mentor, inspiration, coach and leader.I have personally recruited over 40 Keepers to our growing team and to have 39 be qualified and pursuing your business means more than anyone will every know. It solidifies that I made the right choice and it hopefully means that everything I put into leading this team is progressive and constructive. I have spoken and met some of you but if you have ever heard one of my recordings, a call with the home office or spoken to me directly, you know I am passionate about this brand and about leading all of you to unimaginable heights.
THIS IS A HUGE chance for you to change EVERYTHING! I knew it the day they called and accepted me in August that I would fight with everything I had to make this my game changer. It's hard, I know I say that and some of you think I am some kind of sales unicorn that just has everything work out for me but it doesn't. I make things work. I assumed my role as a leader from day 1, I knew to be a leader and have expectations I must surpass my own. Push harder than I would ever ask any of you to push. Challenge myself and grow daily. Not only do I juggle 3 kids, home life, my own socials and sales but I lead all of you amazing, wonderful women. Almost 200 of you! That's exciting stuff, sometimes it scares the crap out of me. That's a lot of eyes watching my every move and that alone can be daunting for sure.
I've been in sales for 10 yrs and I'm still learning. I learn every minute of everyday because I allow myself to. You can't be afraid to fail or you won't ever take the leaps and steps you need to succeed, you will inherently become your own self fulfilling prophecy. You also can't be intimidated by success. The funny thing is that if you never try, in your mind you can't let yourself down, you can't fail yourself. If you are successful you have a lot to lose and it's definitely scary, but that's the dream. To succeed, proving not only to the world, your peers, friends and family, but yourself that you can push past snags, rejection and uncomfortable situations and still persevere. I hit speed bumps every week, every month. Speed bumps that I don't assume or allow to become road blocks. I have socials cancel, people back out of sales but what keeps me focused is my goal sheet and my WHY KEEP, WHY NOW? (to change my life for my family, take my kids to Disney, spend more time with my husband and help other women do the same for themselves- live happier more rewarding lives.)
I know I have to do this not only for my family, but for myself. To prove that someone can come from unconventional backgrounds and succeed purely on heart and determination. I don't have a degree in sales, I am a 28 yr old stay at home mom. I don't have super powers, I just refuse to give up or have someone say that I can't or won't be able to achieve something I dream about. When I joined in September I set my eye on STAR designer and a team of 30 in my first year. I laugh now because we were a team of 30 in our first 2 months and Star by 4 months. That didn't "just happen". I made that a reality. I worked really hard for it. I know the power this sales model, brand and opportunity hold and I share that with everyone. I know how blessed I've been to have this chance so I give that chance to anyone who will listen.
I believe each and every one of you has the potential and the power to climb to the top even if some of you don't see it yet. I can't make you see it. I can guide you, train you and give you all the motivation in the world but your heart has to want it. You have to want it more than just saying "we will see what happens." MAKE IT HAPPEN! Just like my heart wants my own success for my own reasons and NOTHING will detour that. You need to take everything you can from this, believe in it and then you have to have to apply it.
I am so incredibly proud of this team! You are my driving force to go all the way and lead you all into crazy realms of success, income and adventure! Thank you all for leading me and showing me that dreams come true and that the sky's the limit if you are brave enough to get on the rocket ship!
