Where in the world is Gale?  Home in Hawaii launching some exciting programs for Mymentorbiz in the fall.  Stay tuned.

Are you excited and pumped?  Feeling high on the fantastic energy you received at a recent convention, conference or workshop you’ve taken.

This past week I had the great fortune to mix with some amazing women at a direct sales national convention where I listened to great speakers and workshop presenters.  I also celebrated a dear friend’s success in achieving a top leadership position in her company at a special party.  And I shared my process of “Vision to Decision” with a small group of eager, intuitive and dynamic women. 

All of these women want to make changes in their life and their business.  Many were courageous and brave enough to declare this change out loud in front of friends and colleagues. 

Change is an emotional process, and the word “change” to some people denotes unchartered waters which is sometimes scary and frightening. 

Instead of “change,” I believe all you have to do is make a “SHIFT” in your business and life.  Maybe you’re willing to make a small “shift” that has an enormous impact on your business.  Maybe you realize the “shift” has to be more substantial for you to get what you want from your business.

There’s a saying by author & speaker, Jim Rohn, ”If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.”

We are at the half way point in the year and now is the BEST time to make your shift.  Here are my 10 tips to help you make that shift and step into your success.

Tip #1  Be authentic and real.   Look and act like a women in business.  Be a good listener, be present when conversing with people.  Build valuable relationships one person at a time.

Tip #2  Feed your mind.  Go to work on “you.”  Begin a reading program of personal growth and development.  Turn your car into a classroom and listen to CD’s or MP3’s on running a successful business. 

Tip #3  Get trained!  Take the time to attend all training available to you.  Attend a team meeting, be on every teleconference offered by your company. Seek out extra help from experts in the industry.  Hire a coach or mentor to help you shift your business to the next level.  Take urgent action on knowing how to be the best.  Hone your skills in every aspect of your business. 

Tip #4  Set a goal to get to the next level.  Figure out what you have to do to sell more, recruit more, become a leader or rise to the next level of leadership.  Study other leaders’ success.  Look for the gap in your business that will help you make the shift.

Tip #5  Get organized with your office.  Clear your clutter!  Make your office “user” friendly so your business will flow.  If you’re working off your dining room table, maybe it’s time to shift your perspective and buy a new desk and be serious about your business.

Tip #6  Get on the phone!  The phone is a crucial part of your business.  Insure you have the best phone plan in place.  Organize your phone time calling customers, hostesses, prospects and team members.   Use tools that help you become more efficient, like my “Weekly Call Worksheet.”

Tip #7  Pay attention to your “attraction factor!”   Attracting new customers and team members is everything in direct sales. You’re in the relationship business and you want to sell your product, book parties, and recruit people on your team every week!  Learn how to consistently feed new customers through my attraction factor system, and your business will grow!

Tip #8  Win all incentives!   Be aware of all company and team incentives.  Strive to win them all.  Incentives are designed to build your business!  When you win every incentive you will have a very profitable business and you’ll be maximizing your income.

Tip #9  Know that there are times you’ll be discouraged.  DON’T QUIT!  Find your passion and keep going.  Believe!  Believe in your FABULOUS product and FANTASTIC opportunity.  Know there is so much room at the top.  

Tip #10  Get clear on what you want!  Ask yourself what qualities would I like to be known for?  Generosity, contribution, leadership, fun?  How much income do I really want? What would I do if I paid off all my debt? What am I willing to do to make a shift.

Are you ready to make a shift?
