If you know any ladies who are looking to make some extra money for Christmas or interested in starting up their own business, this is an opportunity to good to miss.

Thank you for all the well wishes for Peter’s dad I will keep you informed of his progress. I will be back in two weeks so until then keep well and keep up the great work!

Love and Hugs

This week my message is short and sweet! We are fast approaching the festive season, if you don’t believe me check out the shops.

November 16 is the launch date of the dazzling Christmas range, if you have received your applause magazine this month you will have received a brochure full of gift giving ideas. There is a selection of new reales products and some of our regular lines.

The question I have to ask you is… do you want extra income for something special? If you do now is the time to start planning. Go check out our website www.mkc.net.au and look under the resources for loads of seasonal selling ideas.

I have made a video that you can send on to your clients or local business owners as a preview to our range. You can then follow up with a phone call or a visit and look for opportunities to promote the beautiful Christmas range.

Feel free to use this on your own websites and promotions. You can link to the video here. And you can download an printable copy of it here.

Each year I normally hold an open house to catch up with friends and clients I find that this is a great opportunity to build lasting relationships and to promote your business. The list is endless and your earning potential unlimited.

I am away for the next seven days at a business coaching conference being held here on the Gold Coast. I am committed to becoming the best possible me and enjoy spending time with like minded people. Next week I will be introducing you to a couple of very special friends of mine who will share with you their journey and the fundamental things they have done to lead them to success.

I am also looking forward to introducing you to our newest Davis Dream Team members next Monday.

Have a sensational week!

Love and belief

I don’t know about you but I am so excited to about all the exciting announcements in this month’s Applause Magazine!  Applause is jam packed with new products, rewards and opportunities. You really don’t want to miss out on the latest promotion to celebrate Mary Kay’s 40th anniversary seminar promotion “Girlfriends Get-Away” promotion featured on page 10.

I think it would be a fantastic opportunity for The Davis Dream Team girls to spend some time relaxing, shopping and doing girlfriend stuff.  This promotion is definitely on my list of things to achieve this year!

Let me know if you want to be in our unit challenge to go to “Girlfriends Get-away weekend” in Melbourne.

Today I have some special guests with me (even Cher…the cat) Our Queen of Sales for July Melissa Britton and our newest team member Stephanie Williams.

Both Stephanie and Melissa share how they feel about their Mary Kay business and how it has had a positive impact on their lives since joining Mary Kay.  I feel very blessed and honoured to be the leader of such an amazing group of women.

I have some very exciting plans over the coming months and hope you will be part of the growth of the Davis Dream Team.

This Mary Kay Seminar Year Is Very Special

Celebrating 40 years of changing the lives of women around the world is an amazing accomplishment – it gives me goose bumps to think that one woman has given so much to millions throughout the world. All Mary Kay Ash has ever asked is that we “pass it on”

Wishing you an amazing week

Love, hugs and belief

I was planning to do a video for you this weekend but instead I have spent most of the weekend in bed with the flu!

However what I wanted to talk about this week is leaving money on the table! My question to you is what are you doing or not doing that is causing you to leave money on the table?

Here are just some of the things that can cause you to leave money on the table.

1. Not watching order levels

You can miss out on a couple of hundred dollars by not ordering at maximum commission. Sometimes it could only cost you $50 to get an additional $300 of product.

Product bonuses are great for either display products or hostess gifts.

Missing out on company function bonuses ESRS is a really good example of leaving money on the table. I have seen orders go through $40 short and you miss out on $300 of free product.

2. Not knowing your products

There are opportunities we miss because we don’t feel confident about our products and what they do. Do you know why the miracle set is the best selling range and the 11 key benefits of using the time wise range? How about the micro-dermabrasion set, do you know why it delivers such great results? Why do women spend hundreds of dollars for spa treatments when we can offer products that deliver incredible and dramatic results?

3. Not knowing the career opportunity

Did you know you could easily earn an extra $300 – $500 a month by talking advantage of Mary Kay’s career path. In these times there is not a better opportunity to share your Mary Kay story and offer that same opportunity to another woman.

Watch this video of the AMAZING Gloria Mayfield Banks

4. Not knowing how to conduct a skin care class

Has it been a while? Could you do with a few extra hundred dollars a week or month? Polish up on your presentation and hold a class, facial or open home. My tip would be to get in front of the mirror or turn on the video camera or tape recorder.

These are just a few tips that will help your confidence and put money in the bank. One of the most amazing products we have in our range that delivers immediate results is the Replenish Serum plus C. This week we are going to workshop this amazing product thanks to New Zealand Director Jackie Gibbs. Firstly here is a short clip for you to watch and then have a read on the educational download

Next Saturday the 14th of August I will be holding a training workshop from 10am until 2pm. Bring your business basics and product knowledge books, note paper and some lunch. Please let me know by Thursday night if you are attending. Guests welcome to come along.

Have a sensational week and I will see you next Monday

Love and hugs

A Funny Thing This Morning…

Good morning, today I am coming to you from Melbourne. It has been an amazing weekend here and a great learning opportunity for me. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing life. I am so truly grateful for the blessings that I have in my life, those blessings include you!

Tomorrow I jump on a plane and get to visit all my lovely unit members in Canberra. I am so looking forward to seeing you. It has been way to long and I really miss you all.

A funny thing this morning I had a call from Mary Kay head office, during my conversation with Peter Nankervis we got chatting about the opportunity for MK in Canberra. He is of the same opinion as me that if we could just find that right person to step up it would be an incredible opportunity for both them and MK. I believe with all my heart that the opportunity in Canberra is nothing short of amazing. I really want to work with a couple consultants in Canberra who would like to have GREAT BUSINESS ….who knows maybe it’s you? Do you know of any women who are looking for a great business opportunity, if so let’s talk.

The Davis Unit Is Achieving Outstanding Results

Well, once again The Davis Unit is achieving outstanding results. We are on our way to another fabulous month. We are achieving great results with the size we have, like anything else in life if you are not moving forward you are going backwards. My focus and goal is to grow our unit and increase the number of consultants. Each month I have set a target of 10% growth so this month we need to grow by two new team members.

Mary Kay Career Opportunity

If you have any one who you feel would make a good consultant or needs to earn extra money please let me know and I can chat to you about it. Here is a short clip that I think you might enjoy.

Do You Have Those Days When You Just Feel Like Giving Up?

I know I do, sometimes daily. Meet my friend Nick Vujicic he is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. I met Nick, a few years ago at Crossroads – ministry for the disabled through my church. He is funny, intelligent and has passion and purpose. He sends us a very clear message; never give-up, always have hope and always live your dream.

Are You Going To Finish Strong?

Julie’s Challenge for this week

Make 5 customer calls….just ring and say hi and check how they are going with their MK products. Share with them the new primer and the new colour collection. In fact why not make a time for a check up appointment. A key distinction you need to remember is that you are a consultant not an order taker. Offer your clients exceptional service and you will have more business than you will ever know what to do with, they will happily refer their friends to you.

Have a sensational week and finish strong

Love and Hugs

Love and Hugs

Welcome to Mondays with Julie, well Christmas now seems a distant memory and we are well in to 2010! Some of you are still taking time out and enjoying a well earned break while others of us are back into the cut and thrust of life.

Smart Start Getting Started

On Saturday , I attended a smart start getting started workshop. It was a great way to jump into the New Year and a good reminder about the opportunity we have to build a profitable business, often we don’t see the opportunities we have in front of us and understand how easy it actually is. This year my goal is to be a ‘doer‘ not a ‘gunna‘, and take baby steps each day in achieving my goals instead of thinking I am superwoman and think I can achieve my goals in a single but mighty bound….and then crash to earth miserably!!!

Success is achieved by the daily habits we have and the discipline of doing the things that move us forward to our goals. We need to step out of our comfort zone to have the emotional growth that enables us to step up in to the person we need to be to achieve the lifestyle we deserve.

The Most Popular Skin Care Range

Speaking of Baby Steps, each week I would like to share with you a little product knowledge starting this week with our most popular skin care range.

Women everywhere understand the benefits and importance of caring for their skin and following a skin care program, the challenge is that so many of us are time poor.

Mary Kay was very smart when they developed the timewise range they knew that we all needed to cleanse, freshen, exfoliate and moisturise but they also knew many of us had little time to do that. They went ahead and developed a product that would do three steps in one, the timewise cleanser.

Anti-aging is a concern shared by women of all ages but we have very little time to indulge in a cream for this that and the other so they created a day and night solution along with an anti-aging moisturiser, the miracle set was born! The miracle set is a very smart investment for beautiful skin and delivers11 age defying benefits in one awesome skin care regimen:

1. Cleanse Firm
2. Exfoliate
3. Freshen
4. Hydrate
5. Smooth
6. Firm
7. Soften
8. Protect
9. Energize
10. Rebuild
11. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Julie’s Challenge For The Week

The Challenge for this week is to spend 30 minutes on studying the product guide pages 4 to 7 or visit the community page on the Mary Kay website. Then study the flip chart and practise your presentation!

Then I challenge you to ask three women who’s opinion you value to go through a facial with the timewise products. You may like to reward them for this by offering them an incentive for helping you with your training.

Unless we build confidence in our self and our abilities we will not move forward in our business. Next week I am going to share with you what goal setting and chocolate cakes have in common.

January Product Launch Only Available Until Next Saturday 16^th

The new products are fabulous and I would strongly recommend that you order your pre pack so you don’t miss out on the latest product release, the benefit is that you also receive a FREE perfume.

Check out applause for all the details and if you have not received your copy go to the community page and download the Applause magazine.

Happy Birthday!!!

A very special happy birthday this week…today in fact to Tamara Dowd. Tamara lives here on the Gold Coast and has been with the Davis Dream Team for three years. She is a very busy lady who runs and owns a Child Care centre. Tamara shared with me recently that she would have never had the confidence to take such a big step if it were not for the skills she has learned through Mary Kay. Happy Birthday Tam….you are awesome!!!

Well That Is About It For This Week

…well just about. I have asked a few special people to share their success tips with you enjoy and I will see you next week!

From my heart to yours

Hugs

Part 2

Well, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed time with those you love. We enjoyed a lovely family Christmas and within a blink on an eye we are at the beginning of a New Year.

For some of you 2009 was a great year and will hold many good memories and for others it may be a year best forgotten.

I love a New Year I always feel refreshed and renewed I get to start with a new diary blank pages ready for the adventures of the coming year!

This year my diary is a little different to most years gone by, this year my diary has already had its first six months planned out in some form or another. Late last year I sat down and thought about what my goals would be this year to arrive at the plan I needed to start “With the end in mind” as Steven covey would say in his famous book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

I started with my income goal and worked back what I would need to do to achieve that goal. I broke my goal down into manageable bite size pieces; I then came up with a plan of what I would need to in income producing activities to achieve that goal. I then made a commitment time wise in my  diary ,  I may get off track and very likely I will….but if I don’t have a plan I would have no chance at all to achieving my goals.

Today I would like to share with you a formula that will help you set your goals for the year. It will help you break them down and make sure it is realistic enough for you to achieve you can use this formula for any goals for the purpose of today I am talking about Mary Kay.

The formula is called the C.R.E.A.T.E  formula…so here goes!

When setting goals/outcomes: Follow this very simple plan

Create Your Outcomes

C = Clear and concise – what is it exactly that I want to achieve

R = Realistic – based on my time and skill level is this achievable

E = Ecological- is it in the best interest of those I care about

A = As Now – feel as if you have already achieved it

T = Toward What You Want – is you motivation negative or positive

E = End Step/Evidence Procedure – how will I know when I achieve this goal

It is now (date)—————————-in the future

I am/I have———————————(End Step)

Did you know that your mind does not know the difference between real and imagined. If you believe with all your heart mind and soul that you have already achieved your goal you will create situations and circumstances that will attract success. I would highly recommend you hire out a movie called The Secret that will explain this in more detail. For me this movie was life changing and answered may questions about stuff that showed up in my life.
