Life is like a box of chocolates!

Life and Business is “like a box of Chocolate, you never know what you will get from it”. Thank you Forrest Gump for being able to use chocolates as a comparison in life and business.

Life offers each of us the same 24 hours in a day. How we spend that time is a choice–it’s entirely UP to us. We can spend it sleeping, listening to music, watching television, working, getting an education, playing golf, and spending it with family or friends..

If you are a home based business owner, you need to enjoy the flexibility of working from home yet find a balance between work and the other things in life you enjoy. You have to “work” even if it’s a “fun” job.  If your store is not open, you will not have any sales and no sales = no money.

As a CEO of your own company, regardless of what it is, you must set guidelines, hours, goals, and work if you will earn an income. You can be a hobbyist and do little to nothing. You can earn a part-time income to add a little play money or meet the payments on a particular bill incurred. Or you can produce a nice full-time income by working and investing 10-15 hours a week into your business. A full time income in exchange for 15 hours is a good investment in your time.

Another important thing to remember is to be prepared and ready for business at all times. When you leave home, be prepared to conduct business while you are out and about. The largest sale or best show of the month could practically appear out of no where while you’re at the bank making a deposit, picking up stamps at the post office, and during general errands or shopping. Be neat and know people are watching you. A person will know in less than ten minutes if you’re the person they want to do business and form first impressions in a minute or less. To make a great first impression be sure to focus the conversation on the person you are speaking to, listening attentively to them, and making it about their needs and wants. When you focus on others and “not me”, you will find success stories more often in business and all areas of your life.

Be enthusiastic, full of energy, pleasant, considerate, prepared, understand the value you have to offer, and be confident. Rehearse any common questions that usually arise so you not only know the answers but they roll smoothly right off your lips. Know what you offer and the value of what you offer. Be passionate in sharing your business opportunity and your products.

Since our businesses are like boxes of chocolates, have and “be” the best selection of chocolates there is to offer. Know who you are and what you have to offer. As people are looking to make a selection, of who to do business with, let them want to do business with you.

Who would you rather do business with?

Chocolate, An Antioxidant,Yeah!

Chocolate! There is no product in existence that can compare to dark chocolate for consumption. For the majority of us chocolate is an addiction. One billion people worldwide ate dark chocolate yesterday. They will do it again today,tomorrow, and the next day.

Excited about Chava! NCD has been added to dark chocolate!
Chocolate lovers look at the health benefits of chocolate and NCD, added together, WOW!
The fusion of NCD and a hyper-potent dark chocolate extract that has created an unheard of ORAC value of 33928. There is no other product in any distribution channel that even comes close. This incredible ORAC value has been certified by Brunswick Laboratories. This is the super food of all super foods!

STOP! There’s something about Chava you HAVE to know!

Chava, with its bold intense flavor, rich velvety overtones and smooth finish is designed to be savored in its entirety. Gourmet chocolate is like fine wine, and Chava is no exception. For the complete sensory experience, place the whole square on your tongue and let it melt slowly. The temptation to chew alone is an exhilarating exercise of restraint. Each dissolving layer will reward your patience, from the creamy organic cocoa butter to the robust cacao, and the tantalizing notes of almond and vanilla that will leave you yearning for more. The first piece is a decadent awakening of the senses, but it’s the second piece that’s truly divine. Anything less is unthinkable!

Dreams/Financial Freedom

Don’t we all have dreams?

A trip for the family on a once of a lifetime vacation? The opportunity to stay home with the children? A new car? A swimming pool for the family? Pay for your child’s college education without an additional strain on the family’s budget?
What’s your dream?

Has life thrown your families lemons recently with a lay-off or potential lay-off? Haas your car just recently let you down or needs replacing?
Would you like to add to the family budget or provide financial relief to the family budget?
What would $400, $500, $1000+ a month do for your family budget?

Perhaps a better question would be, what would you do for your family if you had an extra $400 a month in your pocket?

Perhaps you and/or a friend just need some adult time without adding to the family budget? If you’re a stay at home Mom, a retiree, have a demanding career and you just want some “fun” “Me” time that’s flexible and earn money at the same time, a business of your own may just be what you need. It’s always great starting a new venture with a friend and with us, that’s an automatic pay raise for you.

Flexible hours, work from anywhere in the U.S (including Alaska and Hawaii), no inventory, deliveries made directly to hosts and customers, toll free support, online training, professional web sites designed, and FREE business management software make beginning your own home-based business easy and can add tax incentives for the dreaded time of the year.

Business can be found everywhere and anywhere. People you know at work, your spouses’ work, children’s activities, community groups, social groups, leisure activities, and civic organizations are potential hosts and/or guests.

The economy isn’t normally a problem in our direct sales business because people continue to eat and look for reasons and ways to stay home, improve their culinary skills, learn new recipes, and our parties are “entertaining” made easy. It’s a great way for you, your hosts and guests to reconnect with their friends.

If any of this sounds exciting or seems to sound like something that may be the answer for you during this time in your life and/or you know someone who made be interested, send me an email yvonne@getyvonne.com and I will explain more and we can see if this might be the answer for you.

To FInancial Freedom!
Yvonne

Moms, Women, and Super-Heroes

WHAT MOMS AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE NEED TO KNOW…
First and foremost, you don’t have to be a “super-woman”. You’re amazing just the way you are. So take a deep breath, breath in and breathe out. Accept on those days when you can’t fit everything in on your to-do list, you can simply let go of the small stuff.

What you can’t let go are the things that really matters most to you - God, your family, your health, your friendships and your sense of self-worth. These are non-negotiable items.

In today’s society, women are asked to do more than ever before. Balancing the roles of motherhood and helping or even leading the way in family finances is tough!

So this weekend and this month, as you celebrate Mothers Day and Help Whip Cancer by participating in the Relay for Life Events in your community, pat yourself on the back for “all” you do!

And if in today’s economy, you find yourself needing an additional stream of income to help with “budget or playtime” line items, I would love the opportunity to see if being a kitchen specialist may be the perfect “fit” for you. Many have told me it has been the answer to their finances,unexpected bills,or lay offs while others say their business has built their self esteem and still others, have found the “Me Time” or “Adult TIme” needed in their lives. If you are needing some adult fun time while earning money,needing additional money to surprise your family with something “special” or to add to the family budget, entertaining in the kitchen may be the answer for you. If your heart tug requires you to earn money, contact me through email @ yvonne@getyvonne.com

To Mothers and Women everywhere, Enjoy the poem below……
Yvonne

“My Mother Kept A Garden ”

My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it’s start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem…
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I’d need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother’s garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me
—–Author Unknown

Want extra $$$? Just want to have FUN? Accept the “gift”!

In today’s economy, I am amazed at how many people are sitting around complaining about today’s economy, yet nothing has dramatically changed for themselves. They are sitting around in fear of what will happen tomorrow. People, we are only guaranteed today! Tomorrow has enough worries of its own.

I have heard people say, no one will come to my home party because the economy is so bad. I asked, have a group of your friends been recently laid off? Oh, no. Have any recently lost their home? Oh, no. Are they still taking family vacations, even if less extravagant?, Well, yes.

The scenario above happens in the lives of many. What I am finding, is yes, people are spending less on frivolous and wasteful items. People are wanting to be sure they are getting value for their buck, but they are still spending and still entertaining.

If you know someone who has recently been laid off or their hours have been cut, then I may have just the opportunity for them. Direct Sales (home based businesses) are at an all time high. We tend to flourish when times are considered not as good as they once were. It’s the nature of the beasts.

As a professional kitchen consultant, my business has not been affected by the economy. If someone has a friend who has or who husband has been laid off, I say be sure to invite them to your show because they definitely are in need of a “FUN” night out. She or he may be just the one whom this business is for at this time in their life. If not, they may be exactly the one who can benefit from our hosting opportunities—FREE kitchen products and discounted kitchen products. Our cooking shows have become the great way to entertain and have friends over without breaking the bank. Food, Fun, Fellowship, great products at great prices—it doesn’t get better than that!

If you or someone you know, needs to earn an additional $100, $200, $300, $500, or $5000 a month, the opportunity I have may be the perfect answer to you. The apron I wear is unisex, and comes in one size.
The apron can fit the student(18+), a retiree, the stay at home parent, a professional–paramedics, pharmacists, nurses, teachers, insurance, real estate agent, computer analyst–, a store clerk, cashier, bank teller, the person who wants discounted or free products in their own kitchen, the person wanting to earn some additional income, or the person who just wants some FUN adult time or a less stressful environment are all people whom our opportunity fits.

Who doesn’t want a little more money? Yes, some of you may want a lot more money? Others just want to have FUN! My business offers any and all of this to you. You are your own CEO, you benefit from the tax benefits of a home based business, you MUST work, but it’s flexible to fit around the job you already have, the children’s school, church, and social activities, and most people’s lifestyle.

If you would like to hear more or talk to me personally, leave me a message on how we can connect, I will send you to a direct link to my website, and you can join my team today. Whether you are in California, Tennessee, Texas, or North Carolina, you can join my team! If you move, you take your job with you. How exciting is that! Perfect for the military, too. We have a huge support team to help you. For a minimal fee, no inventory, and no territory, why wouldn’t you want to try on the apron today!
