Cult Conference

So this weekend was the MK career conference. It is amazing how fired up I get after one of these meetings. I am ready to rock my business to the core right now. I have made a decision to become an Independent Sales Director by June 30th. This is going to take a lot of work and a few sacrifices, but in the end it boils down to one thing I heard yesterday: If I dare to do in two years what most people won't, then I can live a lifetime like most people can't. I heard a sales director speak yesterday that went from working a job that had crazy hours in the corporate world making just over 40k five years ago to being the number one sales director at Dallas 1 career conference and making over 200k last year in commissions ALONE!! So I had to ask myself, what did she have that I don't. The answer nothing....she made a decision and her dream was big enough and she has gone for it. I am going to do the same thing. My director and her partner directors have challenged me to get 6 new recruits by March 31st so I can submit my letter for DIQ (Director in Qualification) by April 1. Scary as hell. This is what we call a puke goal. I have the drive and determination. I need the people (noticed I didn't just say women). I went out yesterday and got 4 names, one of which could be a possible recruit. I was jammin' after leaving conference.

Here is my theme song for the next 105 days while I build towards being a director and earning my first FREE car....a styling platinum Pontiac Grand Prix. (I can't wait to be zipping down the road in that car on that stretch of open road on the way to my inlaws house. We will see how fast that little grand prix can go!!)

Theme Song:

"Unwritten"
Natasha Bedingfield


I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

My book is unwritten right now and it is going to be an inspirational novel of how to get to greatness when I am done!!

I am very excited about this new adventure. I love when people ask me what I am going to be doing after this school year since I keep telling eveyone that I am quitting LOL. It is so funny to see the looks on their faces when I say "Mary Kay".

It was great to be on stage at career conference and I know I will be on stage a lot at Seminar, at least that is goal. I am trying to win a WONDERFUL bee diamond ring, it is set in 14k white and yellow gold with 21 diamonds :-) It is very sweet looking. My plan is to have that at seminar.
