What are you Waiting on?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?

My love letter to my Glamour Squad!!

I just realized the other day what I have been waiting on!  I always felt that something was about to happen but didn’t know what!!! I am at a place right now where I have found my passion in life.  I always thought and had the feeling something was going to happen while I was sitting and waiting.  I soon found out really quick I needed to make it happen if anything was going to happen at all. Finding my purpose and passion wasn’t always so easy for me to tell people what my passion was.   Do you feel that way?  Do you feel like everyone you talk to is telling you, “You just have to do it and figure it out”?  I used to get that all the time and it was really frustrating. I always asked myself, “Who am I?”

Here’s the deal, here is what I realized. Because I am currently passionate about teaching and training and coaching and sharing everything that I’ve learned in my Younique career, in my network marketing career. I’m so passionate about sharing how I do it and what works and what inspire others and how to motivate others. I finally found passion in that, because of you guys. You guys have pulled that passion out of me. You guys tell me that I inspire you, you message me and share with me how something I said changed the way you looked at your business or changed the way you did your business. I have found passion in really sharing my heart with you and being transparent.

How did I figure that out? I found out what my passion was by saying “yes” to opportunities. I have gotten into the habit of saying “Yes” to almost every opportunity that has crossed my path. Was I nervous about it? Yes. Did I fear it? Yes. Did I think I was going to fail? Yes. Did I fail a few times? Of course I did. But here’s the deal. You’ve got to go through life thinking, “What if I just said yes more than I said no?” You’ve got to start saying yes. Start saying yes to the things that may take you out of your comfort zone, because when you say yes to those things the passion will just come. The more that you work your business, the more that you step out, the more that you give to others, the more that you help others, your passion will just evolve.

You guys, each “yes” will lead to more opportunities to say “yes” again.  Eventually jumping out of your comfort zone enough times will get you to a place when you are comfortable doing more and more things.  When that happens, success will come naturally.  It will show in the way you present yourself and the way other people look at you.

Here’s what I’m saying. There aren’t many times in life when something was put before me that I didn’t say yes to. If it didn’t work out, who cares. With your business, say yes more. Say yes to the different opportunities that you have, say yes to adventure, say yes to the events that Younique  has and go to them. I’ve been to a lot of events.  

Through saying “yes”, I found my passion, you guys. I know why I was given a platform, I know why I was supposed to be on this earth and what I’m supposed to accomplish. I did not just know that one day when someone asked me, “What’s your passion?” In fact, that scared me to death and I had no idea what to say.

My point is:

1. Say “yes” to adventure.  

2. Say “yes” to being debt free.

3. Say “yes” to finding and developing your passion. One day you’ll wake up and you’ll say, “I know why I was put on this earth.” Not just here to pay bills and die, right? I’m here to give back and to share and teach and love and do all that.

That’s how I found my passion. I was sitting here thinking, “How did I get to this moment in my life?” So I wanted to share that with you. Keep working your business, keep moving forward.

Say YES to this incredible opportunity and RUN!!!

Loads of Love.

POINT OF TIME

There will never be a point of time in your life where there is a right time to do a great thing. If you wait for that perfect, perfect moment or that perfect timing it's not going to happen
You know what you have to do?  You have to create the perfect time and the perfect opportunity and the perfect situation.

See a lot of people become comfortable.  They stop growing, they stop wanting anything they become satisfied. People are getting ready to go to jobs they don't like. Jobs that are making them sick.  See when you are not pursuing your goal you are literally committing spiritual suicide.
when you have some goal out here you are stretching for and reaching for that takes you out of your comfort zone  you will find out some talents and abilities you have that you didn't know you had. When the messenger of misery visits you what are you going to do?  What will keep you in the game?

There are things that you think you will never need to know but that one thing could save your life because  you had that knowledge.

Unless your tempted to learn beyond on that which you have already mastered you will never grow.  What is it that you looked at in some point and time and decided you could not do it? That you talked yourself out of it?

If you are waiting on your next door neighbor to make it happen for you it may never happen or if you are waiting on your mother or father they maybe so ancient in their thinking and do not understand the opportunity you have and  if you are waiting on them it may never get done.  But do not beg average people to be phenomenal.  You don;t beg good people to  be phenomenal you just are phenomenal and you will attract phenomenal.

Life is to short to give up on your dreams! Be Younique, Be Beautiful.

Love,

Kimberly

Are you Procrastinating??

How to Stop Procrastinating?????

Procrastination  affects every person in the world and can attack any part of your life. It’s that thing that draws you into your Facebook newsfeed when you’re supposed to be working on growing your business. It gives you anything to do instead of that what you are supposed to be doing. The worst thing you can do is give up and say, “I am such a procrastinator” because when you do that, you accept it as a truth. You give it power over you. Well I am telling you right now: it is not a truth. Procrastination has no power over you. It is just a thing like every other thing you overcome each day to achieve the day’s desired results. You just need some strategies

 1. Do something you LOVE. SELL YOUNIQUE
The first strategy is more of a fact to consider: You are less likely to procrastinate something you love than something you don’t enjoy. Many people have been conditioned since a young age to think that “work” is not supposed to be enjoyed. That your job is the means to pay your mortgage and your bills and support your life, that you’re supposed to suck up whatever misery may accompany it because you are a grown up and you have responsibilities. Wow! That is such a rough philosophy that I don’t even like writing it down. True – with adulthood comes responsibility and you need money just to exist in this world, and how much life you want to experience dictates how much money you need to earn. But there is another school of thought to counter the suck it up stance. I much prefer the “do what you love and the money will come” approach. You still have to suck it up and work when you would rather play, but when you find something you really enjoy doing, you are more likely to turn it into success, and less likely to succumb to distraction and procrastination of the tedious daily tasks.  I would recommend if you are not doing what you love, then acknowledge that what you are doing is simply collecting a paycheck, and be on the lookout for something you love.  I think this is the number one factor if you want to stop procrastinating.

 2. Next, set goals ahead of time.
Our first thoughts when it comes to goals are the big things.  Big life plans, projects to complete, places to go, things to see and achieve. But when you set small daily goals, then check them off as you reach them throughout the day, it helps build motivation and momentum which are powerful tools when procrastination pops in to tempt you. “Not now Procrastination, I’m on a roll!”

 3. Dig in, don’t think too much.
If you make your to-do list ahead of time, you have nothing to think about when it is time to begin your work day. Just get going and get to work on the day’s tasks. Knock down a big chunk of that work before your mind starts trailing to other things. In fact – here is a bonus suggestion – when you make your list for the day, take the thing you dread and put it at the top of the list to be completed early in the morning. Remove the “dread” which would otherwise linger throughout the day having a negative impact on your productivity and happiness. You are allowed to have joy in your business. Do not feel guilty for wanting it. You will fly through the rest of your day and increase productivity.

You are allowed to have joy in your business. Do not feel guilty for wanting it.

 4. Trade negative thoughts for positive ones.
This may not be possible every time, but the more you do it, the more successful you will be with this strategy. Find something positive about the thing you do not want to do. Maybe you need to do some filing because your desk is over flowing with folders and documents, but you are putting it off because you have so many documents to process that you don’t feel you can spare the time. Instead of focusing on the time you think you will be losing, look forward to the opportunity to get off your butt and out from behind the desk for a bit, and think about how much more organized and efficient you will be with room on your desk to work.

 5. APIC  Accountability Parter In Crime.
This one may not seem to make a lot of sense, but a common trait of human nature is to have the energy to do something for someone else that you would not have to do for yourself. We can usually come up with solutions to other people’s problems faster than we can our own. So help your buddy and then take your own advice. Your APIC will also be there to help you stay on track and you will likely both stop procrastinating (or at least do it less).

Do not let yourself get too bothered by distraction because it just turns into another distraction. It happens to the best of us and it is going to happen to you.  Success comes with recognizing when it strikes and knowing how to move past it.  That is how you stop procrastinating.

3 Amazing Benefits of Working in Network Marketing

www.leatherandlashes.com

Over the last several years, I have talked to countless people about my opportunity.  I have probably given people over 100 different reasons why choosing to become a presenter on my team would help them.  But most of the time, I realized that it came down to 3 big things when I was talking about the benefits of working in network marketing.

These 3 benefits of working in network marketing are HUGE (and true) selling points that you need to make sure that the people that you’re talking to understand the benefits of network marketing. Don’t be one-sided. Don’t think about yourself and think what it’s going to do for you if that person joins.  You need to give them the benefit of joining and how it can change their life and how it will impact them. You’ve got to educate them. That was a problem in the beginning for me. I wasn’t educated in the industry. Your job is to educate them. That is always number one.  Here are some great places to start when it comes to educating them about the benefits of working in network marketing.

1. Freedom of Time

Listen, you guys know I have 3 kids.  Because of my network marketing business, I can make the time to go to their functions. I have time to do the extracurricular things that I want to do because I can work my own schedule. I can work this business into anything else that I’m doing. In fact, I didn’t quit my salon. I didn’t sell my salons when I started my network marketing business. I had the freedom of working my network marketing business at night when my kids went to bed or in 15 to 30 minute increments on my lunch break or whatever. 

2. Unlimited Income

The second thing, I feel, is a benefit of network marketing is the freedom to write your own paycheck.  In the beginning, did I think I was going to be able to write a million dollar paycheck or a six figure paycheck every month? No. My heart kind of believed it. My head was saying, “You’re absolutely crazy! You’ll never make that much in network marketing! You’ll never be able to sustain this and you’ll never be able to live your life full-time off of network marketing.” My brain got in the way. My mind was telling me that I was crazy but my heart was telling me something different.

I was thinking to myself, even though my first check was 84 bucks, I think, something like that. Most people see that and think, “Wow, really? I worked a month and I made $84.” That’s just about the worst job anyone could ever have. I looked at it differently. I looked at it and believed that money could be made in network marketing. I looked back on that month and realized I had made about an $84 effort. I thought if I kicked it up a notch and I double my efforts, maybe my check will double. It’s sort of playing a game. 

Then I realized, there is money to be made and that anyone can work this business. As far as writing my own paycheck, I definitely wrote it. I would make that $84 and I thought I’m going to double that. Then I would make $200 and I would double that, you guys, and I wrote my goals down. I had money goals but let me tell you this, I didn’t always equate my goal to money. If I said I want to make $500, I also put down why I wanted to make that.  You’re basically going to make the equivalent of what you’re willing to work and you can’t find that anywhere unless it’s a commission business.

3. Personal Development

I feel like nobody gets it until they’re in network marketing and the shift happens.  I feel like network marketing is a fancy name for personal development. I have to tell you that I had no idea how my mind and my heart were getting ready to change. The more that I worked my business, the more that I connected with my team, the more that I connected with people that weren’t on my team, the more that I sat in events, the more life changing this business became for me. The more giving I felt led to do.

The more that I was in network marketing, the more I started craving books.  I started reading my bible more. This business changed me as a person because I feel like the shift happened when I realized this business is not about me. This business is about everyone else. It’s about helping other people with problems that they have. Your product could be a solution. Or it could actually be the solution for someone’s finances.

The most magical benefit of network marketing is personal development. I have changed as a person. I never dreamed, literally, I never daydreamed about my future, about my kids’ future. I never taught them to go for it and do whatever you want to do. I never taught them to dream themselves. This business has changed my life, has changed the life of my team, has changed the life of my kids. They look at me different. They looked at working different. 

I feel like that is the best benefit of network marketing and nobody gets it. Nobody gets that until they get into the business, but it’s something that I definitely share with people when I’m talking to them about the opportunity. Share that with people. Share the way your life is changing.  Share the books that you’re reading.  People are going to see a change in your personality.

Those are my three benefits of working in network marketing. There are so many benefits, but I really feel that most of them can be narrowed down to those 3 big ones.  Feel free to comment and let me know what your biggest benefit is for you in network marketing.

Love,

Below I am going to give you a list of tips to help you curl your lashes like a pro along with a list of my favorite eyelash curlers to help you decide which one is best for you.

How To:

• Start at the base of your lashes and make sure to get all lashes in the curler making sure not to get any skin in the eyelash curler. Hold for 3 seconds- no longer or it will crimp the lashes instead of curling them.

•  Curl the lashes in 3 segments- at the base, middle of the lash, then the tip of the lash to get that natural curl.

• To separate the lashes, use your favorite mascara or the spoolie end of the Makeup Geek Brow Brush Duo.

• I know a lot of people recommend warming the eyelash curler with a blow dryer; however, I don’t suggest this because you run the risk of having the hot metal next to your eye where it can cause damage. Instead, purchasing a good eyelash curler that works well and it will give you great lashes without the risk.
