Cookie Lee Jewelry, A Blessing!

As you know, starting our own business with Cookie Lee Jewelry has been an amazing blessing! I would have never thought that by just getting together with other women, sharing a snack and shopping could have turned into what it has for me and my husband.
Being a mother of 3 I am BUSY!!! So, I never thought that I had any more time. The beauty about Cookie Lee Jewelry is that I wear this beautiful jewelry, carry my purse that has windows that displays the jewelry and I do business as I live my life. Literally! As I go to pick up the kids from school, attend their sports events, go to the bank and grocery store etc.
Last year, I sent a basket of jewelry up into the stands as I watched my son play baseball, and in 15 minutes had sold $100 worth of jewelry! Now that's what I call being in business for myself!
Dan, my husband, and I have earned the trip for the last 6 years and look forward to that time together as it's basically cost free and Cookie Lee and John really know how to spoil us!
I have made close friends through this business that I would have never met! That is priceless.
I have been blessed with a team of consultants that are superstars! They are dedicated, passionate, focused on their goals and dreams and never give up! It has brought me incredible joy to see them realize their dreams throughout the years.
All the while, I can stay home, raise my family, provide a honeymoon every year for Dan and I, tend to my garden and watch an incredible team of women live their dreams!
We support, celebrate and grow with each other!

*Be Prepared for May's meeting! At the March/April unit meeting we created a Dream board for what we'd like to accomplish this year, 2008! Be specific! As specific as you can! Random goals will yield random results. Specific goals will yield specific results! We also discussed bringing guests and potentials to the meeting! Please bring your completed dream board and as many guests as you can to the May Meeting!

We will continue to build on the dream boards. Add to yours or complete it! Bring it to share.

Be sure to apply March's meeting of getting your new start off to the right start with Quickstart to any new recruit or yourself for that matter! Take steps today to growing your business and be ready to share!

Hot News on our Team!

The Ultimate Trip Experience to Arizona was amazing! We had a week of fun in the sun, floating in the pool gabbing with Cookie and John, playing on the waterslides, while enjoying top notch food and drink poolside or all glammed up at the formal evening! From the Western Night where the catalog picture was taken to the Mexican Resturant, Aunt-Chiladas (it took me a minute to get that one LOL!) Cookie and John really know how to treat us!
Focus: What are you focused on this year? Be specific!
Commitment: Are you committed to it? Do you take the good with the bad? Are you committed to the downs as much as you are the ups in your business?
Consistency: Are you consistent with your daily acitivities in your business?

If you want more from your Cookie Lee Business, I would like you to answer 3 questions!
1. What do you really want this year?
2. What steps will you take to get there?
3. What can I do, specifically, to support you?

This blog is part of my vision for our unit this year. Connectedness, unity, fun, recognition and support. No matter where you fall in my unit, please don't ever hesitate to ask for my support. In addition to your direct sponsor's help, I'd like to offer my time as well.
Let's do this together. An amazing leader once told me, that we're better together. And you know what? She's so right!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Love,

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH!

So, do you have a goal? I'd like to challenge you with this thought for the month. A goal can be likened to a destination and is essential to success. However, just like an oreo wouldn't be an oreo without the creamy center, your goal cannot be achieved without the journey.
Take some quiet time each day to listen. Stop everything and just listen. What do you hear? Give your mind enough time to go through the grocery list, and list of chores and activities for the day. After all that, what do you hear? Can you even sit long enough to listen? I challenge each of us to start out our day with a dedicated quiet time. No reading, no talking, just breathing in and out. DO NOTHING!
It is in the stillness that you can hear what your heart is telling you! If you're unclear on your goal, dream or destination, stop and see if you've packed your bags yet or if you even know what to bring!!
Love,
Maria
