Shortly afterward I went to a mini convention called Spring Sprint. I quickly met and saw a ton of people selling Scentsy . Spring Sprint taught me so much about the products I was selling and the people behind them. I learned different ideas on how to run my business! I began to get super excited about all the new things Scentsy was offering.
I want you to look at the path above. Like life it is winding, and crack and even goes up hill at some point. That is how my journey has been. My team grew to four of us. Life was cruising along and then we decided to move. Not just any move. We moved 1000 miles away. I now was in a town where I knew noone. It also appeared noone really wanted to know about Scentsy. I didnt care, I would head out most of my days armed with catalogs, testers and cards. I lent warmers out and sprayed room sprays everywhere I could. I began to get small orders here and there.
I began to get discouraged. The cracks in my personal sidewalk where getting bigger and at times I felt like I was going to be swallowed up.
Then one day our Director asked us what we wanted our business to do for us. She wanted us to make a dream board. I really had no dreams. I realized in that moment I had lost myself the last few years. I had dreams for my kids, for my husband and even for my family. My dreams where all for them. What did I dream of for me? Honestly, nothing. I cried like a baby. I had given up my dreams so many years ago. I was now given permission to dream again. Honestly, it wasnt much that I dreamed of. Just to be able to buy myself a new outfit from time to time.
In my journey I also met some wonderful friends. I am on facebook often and talk to people all over the world. I began to reach out to them and tell them about Scentsy. To my amazement it worked! I started to sell more and more each month. I gained new friends and we where having so much fun getting to know eachother.
I have been blessed now with a team that in a short year has exploded. I have received numerous promotions.I make decent money that now is helping me to fund my daughters 18 month mission! It has been a year now and I still love my product and my job selling it. I now have dreams of MY own. I now have amazing friends within the business who encourage me , lift me up and are always there if I need help. I also have wonderful customers who are first my friends. The middle of my path is now smooth . I still have a long way to go. I have learned to take one step at a time and if the journey is cracked, crooked or uphill , I will embrace it. I have an army of Scentsy Sisters who will push me up the hill if I need to. I have the self confidence to fall down and get back up. You know what makes this journey totally worthwhile? I am my own boss and own my own business! I run it when and how I want! I am so thankful for this journey and all it is helping me to become.
