We Rise Together

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

The truth is, I don’t brag on my friend Connie nearly enough. So today I am going to tell you about her.

She has been by my side in my business from day one. We have made countless memories over these last four years and have truly experienced some of the most amazing life altering moments.

Everything from starting at the bottom and working our way to the top, hitting huge goals, traveling the world, sitting in full day workshops, training, growing, leading, laughing, crying — it’s all been done with her by my side.

I am forever thankful that she saw the vision and said yes to this business because I wouldn’t be where I am without her.

That’s the beauty of this whole shampoo gig — we can only rise when we rise TOGETHER. To think of what our lives would be like if we hadn’t said yes. ?

In the beginning of our business we flew everywhere together. I’m talking EVERYWHERE. Our first trip was August of 2017 and now here we are, years later and still doing what we love and having the time of our lives doing it.

Insanely overwhelmed and proud of this woman and her fierce determination to rise. Last month she was formally inducted into the Million Dollar Club with Monat. ??

To think that just four short years ago we linked arms and now here she is, an MDC Member. ⚡️

What does that mean exactly? It means that she has earned over one million dollars in commissions — just from taking a chance on selling shampoo. ???

She understood that this business model is the way of our future and that this company is special, unlike the rest.

Doubt could have derailed her.

Rejection could have made her quit.

Fear could have stopped her before she even began.

But it didn’t.

For so many, they refuse to go after their dreams because of the FEAR of the unknown. More often than not, they allow the fear of the unknown to rob them from experiencing life’s most amazing things.

Don’t let the fear stop you from living out your dreams. Truth is, the things that we’re most scared about are the ones worth taking a chance on.

I never knew this would be my “job.”
I never knew this is where I would end up.
I never knew that this girl would turn into one of my very best friends.
I never knew joining a direct sales job would turn into my dream job but it has.

It. absolutely. has.

You Have Two Choices for Success

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

They say you have two choices when it comes to your chance at success.

1. Train your brain to see opportunities.
2. Train your brain to see obstacles.

I can honestly say that so many members of my incredible team have seen the opportunity in EVERY obstacle life has thrown their way since last March when the pandemic first hit.

Nothing has stopped them from pursuing their dreams and building a better life.

Not. One. Single. Thing.

So many are finding success and I truly believe it’s because they believe in this opportunity, they power through, they break every barrier that comes their way and they stay the course.

This business takes work, yes, but it’s basic. The hardest part? To keep going day in and day out.

Not much is needed other than your phone, WiFi, and massive motivation. Zero risk. High rewards.

If we can do it, who says you can’t?? The best part is that our team is in this together, from the wins to the hardships life can sometimes throw at us.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “if you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far go together.”

Each one of us on my team started off alone.

Each one of us started with just a dream.

Each one of us decided to step out and give this business a shot.

I grabbed my friends hand and told her to do this with me, and then she grabbed her friends hand, and then she grabbed another ….

And now here we all are. One by one, brick by brick we have built something amazing together.

Truth is, not one of us would be here without the other and that is the beauty of this business.

We work together.
We encourage each other.
But best of all, we rise together.

And there is nothing better than that.

I Prayed for this Opportunity

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

A few years ago I said yes to a shampoo company. When I first started, I had no clue all that I would gain from that one ‘yes.’

Throughout the pandemic, week after week, my amazing team and I have stayed connected through team trainings, virtual launch events, opportunity calls, chats, threads —- all the things. Not once skipping a beat through all of the chaos. ?? My heart cant even deal.

In addition to our ongoing business chats, a group of us local girls started a chat where we could also talk about everything that was going on as it unfolded. It was a safe place to talk and share our fears, our concerns and our hopes for a better future.

Fast forward three months later and it has become a place where we have all grown.

Grown in our faith.
Grown in our beliefs.
Grown in our boldness.
Grown in our love for this country.

We all want to change the world somehow, some way. The question is how? Some of us have found our voices, while others are still figuring it out. But it doesn’t change what we want to accomplish.

We want to love.
We want to encourage.
We want to share hope.
We want to awaken the nation.
We want to stand up for what truly matters.

What does that look like? We don’t know just yet, but we are willing to step out in whatever way the Lord calls.

Sometimes it takes almost losing something to realize just how much it means to you. Freedom and Liberty will never be taken for granted ever again.

We the people. ??✊? Or better yet, just a few girls that love God and their country — and were brought together through some amazing shampoo.

Friends, this type of community is what so many need and want.

I have been sharing this business for the last three years and I will continue to do so because I believe in it. I see it. I know what it can and has done for so many.

Are you ready to be a part of it?
I sure hope so.

Several years ago, I prayed for an opportunity to come my way.
I prayed for a way to help financially.
This was my answered prayer and maybe, just maybe it might be yours too. ?

The Power of Community

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

Community is something that I need in all aspects of my life.

Truly, I thrive way more off of the so-called “buddy system.”

Do a project alone or with a buddy?
Go to the gym alone or with a buddy?
Study alone or with a buddy?
Go on a diet alone or with a buddy?
Dream alone or with a buddy?
Work hard alone or with a buddy?

I choose a buddy every time. ?

There’s more motivation, there’s more accountability, there’s more balance, there’s more laughs and really it just makes life way more fun.

Work is work but this job really is the best, and a big reason is the community it has brought into my life.

If you are feeling isolated, alone, bored or even unmotivated, maybe linking arms and joining this community will bless you just as it has me.

Think of it like paying to join a sorority — but the nice one where there’s no drama, everyone wants the best for you and will encourage you all along the way.

Funny thing is, I have a friend who started because of the “sorority” and ended up becoming a million dollar earner. Life’s funny that way sometimes, isn’t it? ?✨

Attitude & Mindset

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

Let’s talk attitude and mindset real quick.

Did you know that the quality of your life and the duration of your success depend on your attitude — and you are the only person in this world with the power to make it better.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t — you are right.

The mind, more than anything else, determines how far you can go.

Do you want it?!
??????? ??!✨

What drives you?
What is your why?!

Dig deep. Be specific.
And don’t lose site of it.

And remember, YOU can do anything and be anything you want. It’s only up to you to go after it. ??

Because ultimately, if you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no. If you don’t step forward, you’ll always stay in the same place.

Remember, every dream, every decision, every NON-decision — it comes with a price. The question is, what price are you willing to pay?

What time consuming habits are you willing to sacrifice, in order to make time to pursue your dreams?

Are you willing to invest in yourself? Maybe get up an hour earlier and go to bed an hour later?

Are you willing to commit to the promises you have made to yourself?

To improve. To grow. To learn.

The only way to succeed is to sacrifice. Figure out what that looks like for you and make it happen.

At the end of the day, most people allow their lives to simply happen to them.

They float along.
They wait.
They react.

And by the time a large part of their life is behind them they wish they had been more proactive.

Listen to me, Life is not a dress rehearsal! You only get one life so make the most of it!

Go after it, ask, step out of your comfort zone! It just might change your life.

You got this. ?

“How Do You Do It All?”

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

So often I hear “how do you do it all?” The truth is, I don’t. I don’t do it all and that’s ok.

So often we feel as though we have to “do it all.” We have to be the ones to cook, clean, grocery shop, do the laundry, do the homework, drive the kids to their events, get them ready, get them unready — it’s all too much for one person to handle.

Seriously, if we put that much pressure on ourselves we’ll all be headed to the looney bin. ?

I have accepted that it can’t all be done and I’m ok with that.

Are you?

I know where I need help and I know where I want my energy focused — THAT is the secret to getting it all done. Sometimes it’s ok to delegate.

For me? I have a house cleaner that comes, I have a tutor for my children, my husband helps with the cooking or we simply just eat out and we work TOGETHER.

Sometimes we get in these weird ruts where we feel as though we’re not enough, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Love on your husband, love on your babies and put the Lord first — everything else will figure itself out. I promise.

YOU. ARE. ENOUGH. You got this. ??

It’s the “What If” that Will Drive Us Crazy

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

A friend once told me that a quick way to personal growth is to start a business. I agree 100%.

Network marketing has allowed me the opportunity to take my life into my own hands. It has given me the possibility to become an entrepreneur and pushed me towards the tools to become a better person.

If you are thinking about becoming a network marketing professional, just start now. Find a company that you love, you can stand behind, and find a team to work with.

There is no better time than the present to start inventing a new possible future. I would love to chat with you more about how I have done that. ?

Some of you might be following me and think to yourself that that’s unobtainable — even unreachable. I’m here to tell you that is simply not the truth. You can achieve anything that you want. You just have to work hard for it.

Have you seen the fruit of your labor yet? I googled labor once. It means “work, especially HARD physical work.” While I agree it takes that, I also believe to my core that hard work takes incredible drive, laser focus, persistence, confidence and requires 10x the amount of mental strength. ??

Why do I tell you all of this? Because I want to encourage you to take risks. Because THATs what it takes.

To be confident enough to chase after your own dreams no matter what. Some endeavors might not work out the way that you want them to — but you know what they will never be? They will never be a WASTE of time.

Every little thing that you do, every action that you take will help mold you into the CONFIDENT PERSON that you are meant to be.

My challenge for you today is to take risks, and know that failure is part of the road to success. If I hadn’t taken risks I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. It’s worth the reward! Are you ready? You should be, because you were MADE. FOR. MORE.

Ask yourself: what do you have to lose?

I think we can all live with an “oops,” but it’s the “what if” that will drive us crazy.

This was my thought when I jumped into this industry. I knew I could fail but what I didn’t know was if I could succeed.

What could I achieve if I simply tried? How far could I go? The “what if” was the driving force behind every action that I have taken over the last several years.

I took a chance and it truly did change my life. So my question to you is, what if you said yes?

Dream about it. If you can see the vision, you can make it happen.

When I Became Part of Something

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

Back in high school I never belonged to any type of team or “group.” I wasn’t in ASB or on the softball team. I wasn’t in band or on the drama team.

I didn’t have a huge group of best friends. I’m actually a little more reserved than I like to admit. To be honest, I stuck to my few friends and mainly my boyfriend — ok, mostly I stuck with my boyfriend. He’s the one that I ended up marrying so I guess it worked out. ?

I would watch these groups of girls growing up and I think, deep down I wish I had been a part of one.

To see the team spirit, the bonds that were being made, the everlasting friendships — it was something that I never had truly experienced.

When I joined this business my first “why” was to help my family financially. I was on a mission to bring in an extra income and help bring my husband home just a little bit more.

But as I began to grow this business, something started to happen without me even realizing it.

A community started to form.
Friendships were being created.
Memories were being made.
Lives were being impacted.

I was a part of something.
I was a part of a group of women that I never knew I needed.

I am beyond thankful that the Lord granted me the desires of my heart — even when I didn’t fully realize them.

To think about where I was just a few years ago and where I am now is truly unbelievable. Like, I really wouldn’t have believed it.

But you know what? It’s a story worth telling and I hope it inspires someone to take action.

You see, a few years back I found an opportunity. I didn’t know where it would lead and I had no guarantee of success. As I watched from the sidelines, and saw other women jumping in, I couldn’t shake the feeling of “I need to do this.” It was a constant thought in my mind — a tug.

They say “nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity” and that is exactly how I felt.

Honestly, I was told that I would regret my decision. I was told this would never work and that I would never make it. It could have most certainly worked out that way, but I just had to try. I had told myself that I would have rather #FAILED than wonder what if?

I was desperate to bring my husband home more. I wanted my husband to live life with me. I didn’t want to have to sleep another night alone.

And, I craved that sense of community with other women.

So with lots of prayer and a heart filled with determination, I jumped in and never looked back. I have worked fiercely hard and with everything I have, and guess what?

It has paid off in more ways than I would have ever imagined.

Throughout these last two years I have been able to take my couple hundred dollars and turn it into a million. It’s crazy to even say this. Like I said, I would have never believed it.

It’s something I NEVER thought would happen, yet I knew it was possible. The sky is the limit. There is no cap on how much you can make. It’s up to YOU.

If you have drive and determination, anything is possible.

Yes, I’ve made money but what I want you to know is that it’s not even about the money. It’s truly how the Lord has granted me the desires of my heart. He’s allowed my husband to work less. He’s allowed us to live LIFE more together and I will never take it for granted.

We have made memories, we have traveled, we have worked and we have come together as a family. And I have met women that are like family.

THAT is what Ive always wanted.

I always say that anyone can do this job, it’s just IF you want it. I am nothing special. I am no different from you. You can do this!

Step out and work for what you want. You’ll never regret it.

If I Can Give You One Piece of Advice

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

If I can give you one piece of advice, DREAM BIG.

If you can dream it, if you can see the vision, if you know where you want to go — nothing will be able to stop you. ✨

Albert Einstein once said, “Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.”

I am a believer that you can have both a home life, while pursuing your dreams of a better future. My entire life is a testament that dreams can come true. You just have to be willing to put fear aside, step out of your comfort zone, and believe that you are created for more.

Just two short years ago, I said yes to one of the biggest opportunities of my life. My goal is to share what I have learned, and in turn, hopefully inspire you to dream big and know that you too, can achieve anything that you want.

The secret to success? Stay the course.

I encourage each and every one of you to stay the course. Be consistent. Show up every day and work towards your goal. Continue to grow, and your business will grow with you.

They say the road to success is always uphill but let me just tell ya, the view from the top is so worth it! Keep pushing until YOU get to see the view yourself! It’s definitely one worth fighting for. ? 

John Maxwell said this: “It all begins with a dream. Vision is the worlds most desperate need. There are no hopeless situations, only people who think hopelessly. I encourage you to share your vision with someone today.”

{Fun fact, @johncmaxwell has been one of my favorite motivational speakers for a very long time. Without knowing what a huge fan I am, our company put together an exclusive mentorship program for just us top leaders — John Maxwell was announced as our Mentor!

Throughout this last year I have had the privilege of being personally mentored by him and I couldn’t be more grateful. His words or wisdom and encouragement have taught me more than he’ll ever know.

Thank you Monat for always pouring into us and giving us the tools to succeed! Forever grateful. ?}

Oh The Places We’ll Go

by wordadmin
written by wordadmin

Ok, time to get super candid.

There was a time in our marriage where it was hard. Like, real hard. My husband was gone more than he was home. He was working days on end, studying for the next position, practicing, coming home exhausted — not to mention we had tiny little babies to take care of.

I was only 23 when I had my first baby. Before our son was even one years old, I found out that I was pregnant again — and it wasn’t planned. ?

My husband took care of us. He took the weight of our family on his shoulders and never once complained. He just did it. He was happy with our little life and so was I — but I knew it could be more.

I dreamt of a day where he could be home more, where he didn’t have to pick up overtime and we could live life on our terms. Where we didn’t just live to work but we worked to live. I was ready for it. I saw the vision.

Fast forward, and here we are living out our dreams together. My husband is home more than he ever has been throughout our entire marriage. He is able to take time off, we’re able to save for our future and we have been blessed to take our children to places we never thought we could.

I don’t say any of this to brag, but rather paint a picture and vision for you. If you begin to think just a little bit bigger, your life will become just a little bit bigger. ✨

If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to dream big and BELIEVE.

Don’t put yourself in a box because if you do, you’ll most likely never see anything past those four walls.
