Mondays With Julie

Archive for the ‘Mary Kay Cosmetics’ Category

It has been a very busy last few weeks for me with a full on travel schedule. I have travelled through out Australia and New Zealand this month. I am currently on a very quick visit to Canberra to see my Dad while he is back in Canberra undergoing his rehabilitation after his amputation.

He is in very good spirits and I am in awe of how he has adjusted to losing his leg I am sure you will agree it is a pretty major event to have happen in your life. Recently I spent six weeks in plaster after breaking my foot and I know the level of frustration I felt during that time. For me there are some key lessons through watching my Dad the first is gratitude for what I have, we often do appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. The second lesson is that it is not what happens to you it is how you respond and react to it.

What is happening in your life at the moment that you can get some lessons from? And what do you need to be more grateful for? Each and every day I count my blessings to have a life that is so fulfilled and rich and to be surrounded by the most amazing people.

My challenge for you this week is to do a gratitude list write down all the amazing things you have in your life starting with the fact you have two beautiful eyes to be reading this with.

So what’s happening in Mary Kay!

It is getting really close to THAT time again … can you believe it is only a matter of three months to Christmas. Mary Kay will be launching its Christmas range early next month and I am sure they will not disappoint you with the new product releases. Be sure to order your products early, as the Christmas range is limited.

Have you checked the community page lately? There are so many tools and resources for you to use check out this style report.

Well I am off to the hospital now and then a quick drive to Sydney to catch an afternoon flight.

See you next week

Building a business with strong foundations is the key to success in any business. Your Mary Kay business is just the same. What better foundation to build your business on than our timewise range of foundation products.

Often the lack of success in your business comes from being ill prepared and lacking confidence and product knowledge in what you have to offer the market place. This week I thought it would be a great opportunity to re visit our new stunning range of foundation products and give you the tools so you can take your business to the next level should you choose.

Watch this short video on the correct application of foundation with beauty expert Luis Casco as he unveils the tips and tricks you can pass on to your customers

Quick question for you … are you using the new primer and foundation? If the answer is No the first step is for you to “fall in love” with these amazing products.

Invest some time in becoming an “expert” they say to be considered an expert you only need to know about 10% more than your customers.

Every woman wants the perfect foundation but only about 17% of women are wearing the correct shade of foundation. I would say that might be an amazing opportunity for you!

Here are the tools of knowledge that you will need to develop a great skill level and confidence in your business. Please take the time to read and study I would even recommend you print them out and put in a folder for easy reference.

• Foundation Primer fact sheet
• Foundation Primer FAQ
• Foundations – five steps to a flawless finish
• Product fact sheet – Matte liquid foundation
• Product fact sheet – Luminous liquid foundation

I will be back next week with another Mondays with Julie, have a fantastic week!

What has this year got in store for you? Is this going to be another year that happens or a year that you are going to make happen?

The choice is yours to chart your future success. Nothing happens with out a clear plan of action a plan that needs to have clear written goals with a deadline.

Your Goals Work Like Magic

There is a study of alumni 10 years out of Harvard that showed a stunning 83 percent had degrees but no goals as all, 14 percent had defined, specific objectives for themselves, but never wrote them down.

The group with goals earned an average of three times the income of the group without them.

But Here Comes The Blow Away Stat

The remaining 3 percent of the graduates who had specific goals AND wrote them down, earned an average of 10 times what the 83 percent group did.

We have to assume the same principle is true for all of us. When you write goals down in clear, precise terms, in activates your reticular activation system or RAS. Understanding that your RAS is like a scanner in your brain and it looks for what you tell it to focus on. It filters out distractions and focuses on what you do want. It becomes a logical step in the goal setting process and offers a process for setting goals.

When you commit yourself to written goals you will have a destination to target. Setting precise goals will set your brain to achieve those goals. High achievers are not 10 to 20 times more intelligent than other people their power comes from the methods, resources and focus they use. Use these best practice tips to set your goals:

Develop Exactitude

Your goal shouldn’t be: “I want to make more money.” It’s too vague and subjective. What income do you want to make specifically? How much more specifically?

Determine The Most Important Things

If you list 20 goals for your financial future you might feel overwhelmed because you can’t achieve all of them right away, it just isn’t realistic. Instead, decide: What are the most important things on my list? Focus on those goals first.

Find A Mentor

Choose someone you respect and who has accomplished what you’re setting out to do. Then just ask would you be willing to mentor me? You can tell your prospective mentor how the mentoring relationship will benefit him or her too. You can contribute your talents free of charge, meet at the mentor’s office for convenience – any number of options. Just don’t let your fear of imposition get in the way of asking.

In Mary Kay we have a mentor who has pioneered a path for women over the past four decades. This week I would like to share her words of wisdom along with the passion she had in creating this amazing company.

Now is the time to set your goals for the next twelve months and Mary Kay can be the vehicle to achieve them. Please feel free to call me for a one-to-one coaching session to make a plan in order to achieve those goals.

Have a fantastic week and BE ALL YOU REALLY ARE !!

Love and Belief

I hope you have had a sensational week and you are enjoying this chilly winter. The days are getting cooler and it sometimes a little difficult to get motivated.

Well even though the weather is cooler there are lots of HOT things happening with Mary Kay this year we have seen the launch of some sensational products and amazing opportunities.

We have lots of new team members and I would like to wish each and every-one of you a very warm welcome to Mary Kay. To check out all the latest news head over to our website www.mkc.net.au where you will also see the latest product releases and announcements.

July 1 brings even more exciting products to our range so be watching out for the applause magazine in the next couple of days.

The last few weeks have been a little crazy for me I have been doing a lot of travel so life has been a bit of a whirlwind. A couple of weeks ago I did a very quick trip to Canberra and caught up with a few of the Canberra consultants it was really wonderful to see you girls again. I am planning another trip in the next few months so I will keep you posted.

Today I taught at the ESRS program in Beenleigh the program has a new format so I would really recommend if at all possible you attend for a refresh. Check the community page for dates and locations.

While I was there today I had an opportunity to catch up with Director Tracey Woodland who is our guest this week on Mondays with Julie. Tracey is a veteran of Mary Kay just like me I am sure you will enjoy her story.

Look forward to seeing you next Monday!

Shine brightly and make every day an amazing adventure

Love and Belief

I am sure you were SHOCKED to see me in a bathrobe when I filmed this week’s Mondays with Julie! The purpose of coming to you in a natural state was that I wanted to share my pyjama day with you and for you to maybe contemplate the same sort of self-indulgence on a semi regular basis.

I Got To Thinking While In The Steam Room…

…how similar life is; you know when you are excited about new possibilities everything is crystal clear and example might be water, then as things get more challenging we become frozen that might be an ice block but then we get excited and generate a bit of momentum that might be the steam! I hear you say … she has lost it!

Not at all my mind just works a little out side the square and if you are feeling a little frustrated or lack some motivation you just need to build a little more steam and get your goals crystallised and then back them up with a plan to execute them.

As you didn’t see in the video I was indulging my self with the new time-wise gel mask I am sure that you and you customers are going to love it.

Hi and welcome to this weeks Mondays with Julie! I am just sending you a quick message, as I am about to board my plane to head back to the Gold Coast. We have had a sensational weekend here for a family wedding. The weather was a little cool so we had to rug up.

Yesterday I had an opportunity to attend a Seminar with John Assaraf he is an amazing man. I was glued to my seat and took in his every word! I signed up for Johns mentoring program and I am very excited to be one of his many students. I am not sure if you ever saw the movie “The Secret” it took the world by storm! If you have never seen it I recommend you visit your video store and rent it out.

Why don’t you check out John and his work www.johnassaraf.com. I also want you to check out our website as it has lots of new features and all the updates on products and what is happening in our unit.

Very short and sweet today as they are giving the final boarding notice. Look forward to seeing you next week.

Have a sensational week and live you true potential in every thing you do!

Firstly let me apologize that you have not received Mondays with Julie for a couple of weeks. The past few weeks have been a very sad time for us with the passing of Peter’s dad – Pop to all of us. We have spent most of the past month at his bedside in hospital and on the 29th of April he passed away. We held a lovely family funeral on Friday to say our final goodbyes. He is now pain free and in a much better place.

Yesterday was Mothers day and I hope you were all spoilt. Mothers our so special and I wanted to share with you a video clip that just gives a small insight to a typical day … enjoy!

New Products and New Opportunities

All I can say is WOW, WOW AND WOW !!!

Have you checked out all out new products yet? If you have not seen the new compacts and foundations I suggest you go visit the Mary Kay website.

Live each day as an EXTRAORDINARY adventure

This week Mondays with Julie is coming to you from Ayr North Queensland. Wow what a great weekend we had!

I arrived in Townsville on Saturday morning and was greeted by Wendy Murcia, we then drove an hour up the highway to Ayr. The rest of the day was spent catching up on news, training, laughing and having lots of fun!

On Saturday evening we went to a lovely little restaurant in Ayr where we enjoyed a beautiful meal with champagne. The dinner was a challenge that was put out based on sales and team building.

Up bright and early on Sunday ready for more training and a guest workshop in the afternoon. It was just great meeting new team members Melissa and Trinny we talked about what truly is possible in a Mary Kay business. We also talked about what is required to become skilled and the importance of setting weekly and monthly goals and having support and accountability to achieve those targets.

One of the highlights of our training on Sunday was a 30 minute call with National Sales Director Johneen Todd who held an open forum for the girls to ask any burning questions they had about their business. Thank you Johneen we really appreciate that you took time out of you day to share your journey in Mary Kay.

Melanie shared her vision about becoming a director and can hardly contain her excitement. She has a solid plan for growth over the coming quarter with a goal of earning a pearl for her ladder and a medal each month. Melanie is our special guest on this week’s Mondays with Julie.

Congratulations go to Wendy Murcia who is the quarters “Miss Go Give’ Wendy is so deserving of the award and for those of you who know her would agree.

I would like to thank the wonderful girls of the Davis Dream Team for their hospitality and support during the weekend. I also would like to thank Director Sandra Plant for coming along and supporting our workshop.

Well time for bed now as I have an early flight in the morning to go back to the Gold Coast. It is so wonderful having the technology to be able to upload this week’s video to youtube while on the road from Ayr to Townsville and then have Mondays with Julie sent and ready for you to watch it early Monday morning…I love technology I just wish I understood it !!!

Have a sensational week and I will see you next Monday
