My Journey to SC

Hey Everyone! Wow! What a journey it's been so far! Thanks so much for sticking around this long! I just wanted to share about the latest promotion I reached in my business: SC! This is a pretty major milestone, because it not only unlocks the highest earning potential in our compensation plan, it also gives me access to a higher level of mentorship and training, as well as opening up leadership opportunities within my own team! But it didn't come easy! I know there will be people that judge my successes - we're human, we all judge people... whether or not we should is a whole 'nother thing!! But believe me, there have been tears, there have been late nights and early mornings, there have been frustrations, and there have also been so many little wins that have nothing to do with promotions or financial gain! There have been personal development successes; of stepping outside my comfort zone multiple times; there have been warm and fuzzzies when I help clients have breakthroughs in their health; and there have been lifelong friendships made, that could never have happened if it wasn't for the miracle of the internet! But SC was tricky! There's actually 2 ways to reach it within the compensation plan. The first way is to fast track; to acquire a certain number of points within your business within any 5month period, which earns a $500 bonus when you promote, so it's obviously the preferred way! The second way is to go cumulative, which means acquiring a higher number of points, but within an infinite time frame - this is the way that worked better for me because I struggled to get the growth within a single 5 months that I needed to qualify for SC, so instead I just chipped away at it in my own time, with no deadline to have to hurry to meet! How good is a business model that meets you where you're at and still lets you succeed even when you're not investing huge amounts of time!? I think you all know how hectic my life gets at the best of times, juggling full time work, running a house, and being a wife - it can be hard to fit ME in there. That's actually such a big part of why I said yes to adding something else to my schedule. Because nothing changes if nothing changes! Many girls I talk to are "so busy" that they can't comprehend adding anything else to their plate; but that's my biggest why! If life is already so full and overwhelming at 25, how is it going to get any better unless I change something?? So for me, the answer is to build a smart residual income stream in an hour or so a day, to set me up for a future less filled with hustle and filled more with things that make me smile! November was a particularly hectic month in 2020; while life on the station ticked along fairly regularly despite all the crazy in the rest of the world, it all came to a head for us personally last month! After several months of big days doing big infrastructure projects, in November we had fires started on the property by lightning. This meant long, hot, sweaty days out of phone service; not exactly ideal conditions for doing online business! Add in on top of that, we bought our first property, 142 acres with two houses last month as well, so the time I did have in reception was spent sorting emails, paperwork and phone calls to get that ball rolling! It took real grit and determination when I did have spare internet time, in order to keep my business growing, when I could have just as easily given up and went to bed instead! It all came to a head partway through the month; I was so close! So one night, I knuckled down and scraped together the points I needed to promote! It was nuts! The vibe was high; my whole team was congratulating me and we were all celebrating! Then the next morning, I got a phone call from head office; there had been a mistake with one of my orders and the structure of points I needed... All of a sudden I didn't have the points and so my promotion couldn't be processed... meanwhile, I had an inbox full of congratulation messages! I felt like such a fraud, and I didn't know what else to do, where the remaining points were going to come from. It was right before a weekend, so if I couldn't get the points that Friday, then it wouldn't be sorted until Monday at the earliest. I didn't get the points. I spent the whole weekend hiding from my inbox. I couldn't face these people. What could I say? Ah, I'm not actually SC yet!? It was not a good feeling. Come Monday, I reluctantly got back to work on my business, I still wanted to make it happen for November. Then the points came from a completely unexpected avenue! One of the girls on my team scooped up a promotion and scored herself a $150 bonus to boot! That also covered the points I needed to promote, so the promotion got processed 4 days after we originally celebrated... All good right? Not really though; I still had to work through the icky feelings and mental dialogue that I had been going through all weekend! On top of my own mental turmoil, or maybe because of it, other things flared up in my workplace and personal life that fueled the fire. It's been a tough couple of weeks. I turned to my journal, working through some things that way; and also having some deep and meaningfuls with the people closest to me. Our mindset is such a powerful thing, but I'm so grateful to have unlimited personal development at my fingertips within the network marketing industry! Instead of giving up, I have the choice and the tools to dive deeper and come out the other side. And don't get me wrong, I'm still learning; I still have so far to go! But I'm also grateful for how far I've come! By far my biggest lesson out of all of this was that I don't have to go it alone. As much as I've always been a very independent person, and all of my previous big milestones in business were a result of me just getting to work and getting it done by myself - having this promotion to SC be unexpectedly reached by the help of one of the girls in my team has really just proved to me the power of collaboration. There is no competition in this industry, everyone just wants everyone else to succeed; and you most definitely do not have to do it on your own; in fact, the more the merrier! There is so much mentorship and support; and I personally have a massive vision to grow a worldwide community of rural women who want to create something more for their health, wealth, and life! I currently have my doors open with a few mentorship spots left for the year. I'm looking for anyone who wants to have more, be more, and do more for 2021, and want to get a jump start on the new year! There's no such thing as the right time to get started, waiting until the new year only lets you procratinate a little longer! So please reach out if you'd like to look a little closer. It may be for you, or it may not, but I'd love to connect either way!
