IGNITE YOUR DECEMBER – AND PROSPER IN THE NEW YEAR
As you look to December, do you wonder how the heck you’ll find the time to stay in action?
Like every cycle of the season, December offers both benefits and distractions. Your results this month will depend on your attitude, discipline and action!
Throughout the year, you’ve invested time, money and energy into your Direct Selling business. Now is the time to capitalize on those efforts by igniting your December.
You have two choices as you enter December: be complacent and let the flames of your business burn out – or stoke the fire with dedicated part-time effort and commitment.
If you choose to be complacent now, your loss will be more extensive than you realize. Not only will your volume suffer in December, you’ll extinguish any possibility of sparking your January business.
When you choose commitment and dedication to consistent effort – you will spark your holiday season and ignite your New Year.
If you are ready and willing to play full out, you can find the time to both ignite your business and enjoy the holiday season. Then you’ll be well prepared to prosper in the New Year.
Wishing you and yours a joyous holiday season.

Social Media Strategy
Give It Away
As we enter the holiday season, it makes perfect sense to focus on gifts. In social media terms, this means giveaways. These can be a fun and powerful way to boost brand awareness and grow your community. You can use giveaways effectively on a social media platform or with a specific group.
December is optimal for a holiday giveaway, but during the year you might offer a giveaway to highlight a special achievement in your business (perhaps you promoted in title or earned a free incentive trip). You can ask those who enter your drawing to “like” and “follow” you on your social media channels – or maybe direct them to a particular platform you want to grow. When selecting prizes, keep it simple. Offer something specific to your niche to attract the right people. Gift cards are always a hit, and they can be delivered electronically.
Giveaways are great for bringing in new followers, creating fresh engagement, and potential new customers. This strategy can also help boost SEO (search engine optimization). Google’s search algorithm places popular social media posts in the top section of its search, so make sure you include industry keywords and hashtags in your posts.
NOTE: Be sure to visit each platform you plan to use for a giveaway and review their specific rules on giveaways and contests.

Time Management Tip
Reset Your Pace!
Think back to when you began your Direct Selling business. Did you get off to a fast start? At the time, did you understand the many benefits for starting fast?
If you didn’t quickly get up and running, have you considered why not? Maybe you weren’t as coachable as you are now? Perhaps “life’s distractions” monopolized your time and energy? Maybe your belief in the business wasn’t as strong as it is now?
There’s a common phenomenon you must avoid: Slow starters tend to duplicate slow. It’s called “detrimental duplication.” If, for whatever reason, you didn’t get off to a fast start, make sure you don’t duplicate slow to your team.
Why do people do it? Generally, because it’s all they know. They didn’t set a fast pace when they began, so they don’t know how to teach a fast pace.
But there is a solution. One of the best ways to reset your pace is to act as if you just enrolled today. Then, over the next 30 to 60 days, complete the exact activities laid out in your company’s fast-start program.
By making this commitment, you’ll not only reset your business, you’ll create a new fast pace habit – and you’ll understand what it takes, and why it’s a key indicator for success. And your ability to effectively coach and mentor a fast pace will be transformed. Why? Because you did it!
This is a bona fide method for not only resetting your pace, but your attitude, belief and confidence as well.
Motivational Message
Design Your New Year
As you enter December, most likely you’re looking ahead to the New Year. This is the time for dreaming big, identifying goals, and setting resolutions.
Before you look to the New Year, first look back. Review the past year and identify those areas in your business where you excelled and achieved, grew and evolved. For example, look at your leadership, sponsoring, prospecting, time management, or personal development.
Savor this moment and acknowledge your strengths and how you found the courage to step into your greatness. Even in the areas where you fell short of your ultimate goals, where did you learn a lesson that helped you move forward?
Next, and with self-compassion, identify the areas of your business where there’s room for improvement. Where would you like to do better? Or have more confidence? In what areas would you like to take your game up to a new level? For example, look at your leadership, sponsoring, prospecting, time management, or personal development.
Once you’ve taken inventory on all the ways you excelled and the areas where you’d like to improve, you’re ready to design the blueprint for your New Year.
Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on your efforts during this past year – and wish you massive success as you enter the New Year. I know your future is like a bright shining star!
Start today to develop the mindset and the skill set to create Outrageous Achievement.
As you gain more clarity in each season, you’ll set money-making priorities, take more consistent action, and meet and exceed your goals, not only this year, but for years to come.
Throughout the year, you’ve invested time, money and energy into your Direct Selling business. Capitalize on those efforts now, and celebrate at the same time.
I wish you and yours a Wonderful Holiday Season and a Spectacular New Year!
