Ladies.....I want to see you be BRAVE!! So go for it! Dream! Rise above discouragement and trial! You can do it! Believe! Some say I dream too big...I say you think too small. You have greatness in you!
"Brave" by Sara Bareilles
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
(Chorus)
Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is
(Chorus)
And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
(Chorus)
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave

You work for a
purpose-driven company! I hope we become engrained with the fact that each of
us has a purpose. We may not be perfect people. We may not have perfect situations.
But we are still significant nonetheless!
Women have been blessed with the rich body of emotions and when used
properly they are very effective at motivating you towards your destiny. I want
you to be clearer in your understanding that purpose and passion are interconnected.
Unfortunately, we live
in a crazy world that we're so busy all the time and everything is fast, fast,
fast…and we are losing touch with who we are and our inner sense of passion.
But it is your passion that empowers you to be able to do THAT thing for which
you were created to do. You may not feel it all the time but you do have passion.
It is this passion to which will thrust
us thru the trials of life to accomplish the things that we were created to do
so that we can function at a higher dimension and with authority and with conviction.
You need passion to
withstand all the obstacles that go with your purpose. Just because you are living with purpose
doesn’t mean that you are not going to have problems. You will have problems but you will be given
the thrust to be able to get up off the ground and to step into the field of
your dreams. And even if you have not landed on that thing yet…at least get
in the territory to that the thing you were dreaming to do or that you hope to
accomplish. And through that passion you will be able to ignite things you have
never ignited before and didn’t even think possible.
Now some of you out
there may say, “I don’t feel a thing. I am numb. I used to have passion when I
was young but I don’t feel any passion now”. All of us go thru times that we
don't feel anything at all. But in order to ignite passion again, you have to
be exposed. “Get out of the boat, Peter, walk on the water”. Go do something
you've never done before, get involved, get connected…because when you are
exposed you will see that there are more options at any age. You don’t have to
be cute…you don't have to be pretty…you don’t have to be a size three… you
don't have to be a blonde or a brunette or twenty or fifty. At any age, you can still ignite your purpose
by finding your passion. That is good news!
What then do we do with
the lulls in life…the dark shadows in life?
We all have those secret pains and burdens. Are they in fact
distractions from our purpose? Absolutely not! I've never seen anybody who did
extraordinary feats that didn't have extraordinary issues. It may be the PASSION that gives you the power that you need…but it
is the PAIN from which you have the conviction for that purpose!
If you have not been through
some pains you would not have the burning to do what you do
I believe that children
are like arrows. They need to be
directed. You aim them at that thing you want them to hit but you don't push an
arrow….you pull it away from the target at first. And it is the digression that
causes the progression. If your life has been tough as it's been hard and you
had to pull yourself up by the boot straps, and your childhood wasn't so good…guess
what? That was just the arrow being pulled back so that when you are released you
can thrust after the thing you are after. So you don’t have to grieve over what
you didn’t get and what didn't happen and how you were treated and who didn’t
raise you and who didn’t love you. Once
you understand the greater the digression….the stronger the progression.
If Nelson Mandela had
not been incarcerated, had not been mistreated, had not been ostracized, he
would not have the passion to do what he does. I'm telling you what you think
is working against you is actually working for you. And if you can realize that
then you make sense out of the pain, then you justify the pain
We are constantly taught
to seek provision. Seek money. But I know a lot of rich people. They can be
crazy. Money without purpose doesn’t make you wise…it makes you crazy. You
don’t want to seek provision. You want to seek purpose. If you find your
purpose you will not have to worry about provision.
You don’t want to be
chasing your provision. I want my provision to be chasing me. Then you are in a
position to decide what ventricles to open up and how you can help others.
The most sexy and
wonderful thing in the world is somebody who knows who they are and knows where
they are going and knows what they were created to do. There is nothing like it
in the world. When you find your purpose they will find something cute about
you. People who are on point are attractive. They are focused. They get the
deal. They earn the business. They make the best mamas in the world. They make
the best daddy’s in the world. They are easy to live with.
People who are lost are
hard to live with…whether they are rich or not, or beautiful or not, people who
don’t know who they are always needing validation to feel secure. But when you
are self-confident then you are safe within yourself. You don’t need everybody
in your space. You know who you are. You are dead on center. You are right on
point. You know exactly who you are. You don’t need others to define you. You
don’t need others to validate yourself. And if they clap for you that is good.
But if they don’t then that is ok because you are living your life right on
point with purpose! May each of you be blessed to live a purpose-inspired life!
Make no mistake about it….Mialisia has a purpose. A purpose so much grander
than jewelry. Yes, VersaStyle jewelry may be the vehicle that takes us from
point A to B. But the success and journey toward that destination is for a
purpose which is to help serve others, seek to do good acts in the world, make
a difference in the lives of others, and to bring out and ENHANCE THE INNER
BEAUTY WITHIN.
Dave and Trish Nabrotzky, Team Diamond Executive National Designers
Take the Direct Sales Industry and add to that the Home Party Plan business model and now you are in a class all by itself. In the corporate world, you need certain schooling or certifications or credentials to be considered a “Leader”. However, being a leader in the Fashion Event / Party Plan world is
more about what you do and who you are…it is a state of mind and lifestyle. The
most successful leaders in our company are from all walks of life,
from Corporate Executives in Banking and Construction to the Stay At Home Mom, but there are some traits
that they all have in common. Here are the Top 10 Traits to help you become a
truly successful Leader. 1.
2. Only Ask Of Your Team What You Are Willing To Do Yourself – In order to be an effective Leader, you must practice what you preach. Never ask your team to do more than you are willing to do yourself. No matter what level you reach in the company, do not ever stop doing parties, hostess coaching, recruiting, etc. You need to continue actively working your business to keep your “finger on the pulse” and always know what is going on with your company. You can tell your team what they have to do each day to be successful....but eventually they stop listening because your actions speak so loudly that they cant even hear what you are saying anymore.
To be a successful leader, you must first be a
successful designer as this gives you the critical foundation. It allows you to help others from
a perspective that is authentic, not something you read from a book. When there are
issues you can help feel those things personally. You may not always hold 2-3 parties a week. The best leaders in the industry are those who
are consistently leading by example with their own personal business. A Fashion Event Queen is a professional business woman who always maintains the highest
level of class, integrity, and professionalism – both at am event and away. As a
Leader you will be looked to for support, encouragement, knowledge, coaching,
and inspiration. Remember the Golden Rule as you must be the mentor you yourself would like to have.
3. Assertive – You must be willing to make the first move. New consultants are often a little nervous of getting started in their new business. You must have the confidence to help her get past her fears to make her dreams a reality. Even if you are fearful yourself, you must push through that fear for your team. The payoff is tremendous.
4. Organized – There is such a thing as “organized chaos” – and many Leaders understand this term very well. You do not have to have everything “alphabetical, color-coded, smallest to largest order” however, being able to quickly put your hands on something is imperative. Remember also that your team will mirror you – if you are organized and in control, they will work to be as well. Find a system that works for you, and then teach it to your team.
5. Understanding, Yet Firm – In this industry, we
do have to have a certain level of empathy and understanding with our team,
however, make sure you stay strong and keep your focus. If you become too good
of “friends” with your team, they will think that you will “understand” when
they start slacking from their business. Though you want your team to know they
can come to you, always be sure to stay professional. Also, you will find some
team members need a little bit more of a “push” than others. Using “tough love”
is a good way to continue to support your team while still maintaining the
respect and caring of the relationship.
6. Be positive – Frustrations come at
every level in any organization. However, you must never ever complain
down towards your team! When a team sees their Leader upset about something, it can spread like a cancer throughout your team. When you are upset or needing to
vent, call your Upline, or another Leader not from your team. Chances are she
has had the same frustrations, and will be able to give you advice and
guidance.
7. Firm Faith In Your Industry, Company, And Product –
To really be successful with Fashion Events, you must have a good understanding of
Direct Sales and Neltwork Marketing, as well as a firm faith and commitment
to your Products and Company. When the company does something you do not agree
with (changing policies, discontinuing products, etc) a Leader must have enough
faith in her company to know it is ultimately for the best. Badmouthing your
Company in any way is planting seeds of negativity and excuses into your team.
8. Don’t Take It Personal – Being a Leader in
the Party Plan Industry requires having a little bit of “thick skin.” As with
being a Consultant and understanding that every “No” gets you closer to a
“Yes”, a Leader needs to be able to hear negativity from her team, and work
towards resolution without taking it to heart. A Corporate shipping issue for
instance can cause quite an uproar from your team. Remember that people are
people, and though it may seem they are taking it out on you, it is simply
business. Likewise if a consultant leaves the business or does not perform the
way she
has said she wanted to, if you have worked with her as a
Leader, do not take this to heart. Not every Consultant will make it in our
industry, but many will; and if you are a good dedicated Leader, you have
increased their chances of success ten fold.
9. Don’t Try To Motivate…. INSPIRE! – There is a
huge misconception that a Leader must MOTIVATE her team. People must motivate
themselves. The best way to build your team, teach your team, and continue to
support your team is to INSPIRE them! Live the life that the success of your
personal business has allowed for you. Take pride in the things that you have,
the success you have made, and the future you are building for yourself.
Continue to grow as a person as well as a Leader. Be THE Party Plan Diva!
10. Have A Genuine Passion For Other’s Success –
The saying “Every Man For Himself” does not work in this Industry. A
Leader is only as successful as the team she leads. If your genuine goal is to
teach and help others succeed, in turn you will succeed. It is the GIVING that
will make you successful in the GETTING. Change your focus from “What’s in it
for me” to “How can I help her achieve her dreams.” The more success your team
achieves, the more successful you become.
Then learn how to sell value over price. The key to buying decisions is
gaining value during the presentation experience. Buyers want to be taught HOW
they can get more for less. If you simple hang the jewelry on a wall at a
home party or trade show and then step back and read a book…your customers will
have a retail experience. They will be impressed with the beauty of the jewelry
but would never appreciate the concept and the infinite value...and the result is lower sales, more frustration, and less success!
Highly
successful direct sales professionals understand that their company relies on
brand reputation and margin to maintain leadership and viability in the
industry. As designers, you build long-term, highly profitable relationships
when you sell value over price, because customers are more than willing to pay
a premium for someone or something that truly delivers extra value to them. That is why it
is so important for sales professionals to understand what the customer
truly values.
·Focus on helping the customer meet her needs
rather than simply trying to sell them whatever your flavor of the month is. In order to do that effectively, you have to
become highly skilled at asking your customer the right questions and listening
carefully to make sure you understand their answers.
The
challenge faced by most sales professionals is that customers cannot recognize
(presale) the value of your solution without your help. When the customer does
not clearly understand your value, they will focus on the one thing they do
understand, which always comes down to price.
Many
sales professionals are not very effective in this area. If they attempt to
discuss value with the customer at all, they tend to say things like:
This
product will help you look beautiful and have more jewelry to choose from
This
“feature” will do this, and that “feature” will do that
As
important as these points are to make, they don’t go far enough because they
don’t clearly spell out the ultimate value of what is being offered. Selling
value requires that salespeople have the ability to justify – in terms that the
customer cares about – how the customer will benefit from their solution.
Unless the sales professional can deliver this message and connect the dots
very clearly, they leave the customer no choice but to view their solution as
just another commodity where price becomes the only consideration.
Action
Items:
Try writing two or three different “Feature-Advantages-Benefits”
statements that will connect your products and services to the typical needs of
the customers you work with. Make sure that you provide a very focused benefit
component that specifically defines how the product will solve the problem or
meet the specific need of a customer.
Review your current questioning and
listening strategy. Are you asking enough questions with every client to be able
to offer a solution that will clearly address their needs?
When
asked to a group of saleswomen, “How many of you have had customers leave
because of price but come back because the level of service they received from
others was not what they got from you?" Eighty percent raised their hands.
So
I told the 80 percent who raised their hands to ask those clients why they left
for a better price and why they came back for better service. You can use this
feedback when confronted with price objections. Also, find out what else they
gained from spending a little more money with you--what are the long-term
effects of doing business with you, and how does that offset the initial
investment?
Compared
to most jewelry out there… price IS one of our advantages, that's great. But
remember, you need something that keeps the competition away and secures your
relationships for the future. I remember seeing this sign:
Price,
Service, Quality (Please pick two)
If
you choose to lower your price, something else will suffer. No matter how tough
the market gets, you'll have to stick to your principles to sell the value that
differentiates you from your competition.
Simply
put, if you want to sell value to your customer instead of being forced to
discount price to close deals, the most important thing to remember is not
to lead with product features and deals, because customers don’t by products
(jewelry). Instead, they buy solutions that will give them the outcomes
they need to make their fashion and attractiveness more appreciated. Therefore,
before you can present them with an attractive solution, you must be certain
that you understand the customer’s “hot buttons” so you can connect that
solution back to the customer’s most important goals and desired outcomes.
Mialisia designers more than anyone else….you or your customers should never think for a second that
our jewelry is priced too high as long as you are face to face with them to explain your product/concept. I personally believe our jewelry is priced too low for what we really offer customers! But
I understand the value of what our product and opportunity really is. Do you?
Then you better determine this before your next home party.
Just
know this, YOU have every reason in the world to have confidence that you have
absolutely no competition out there in this industry. Period! You simply offer
the very best quality jewelry at the lowest possible price….now that’s value!!
1) Stay positive and share things
that would only inspire, help, and educate others. I embrace this quote
"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind
you.” Let us not look for chinks in each other's armor. We all have them,
Mialisia has them...so let's agree that as a team we are positive and forward
thinking. I am not discouraging
communication. It just needs to be in the right forum and with the right
approach. Remember we are a family and we have each other's back!
2) Share stories, experiences,
successes, ideas, etc. I don't take
these as patting yourself on the back. Companies hire PR firms to share info so
people know of the good things and not be drown out by the rare misfortune. If
you try something and it worked with great success...let us know. If you tried
something that didn't go how you wanted then simply state the situation and
then we can jump in to offer ideas/resources. Group training calls are also
good to share ideas. Personal and spiritual growth is even more important to me
(and may I boldly say...important to you too) than any wealth. So selectively
share personal growth experiences and not just ideas on how to have a better
home party.
3) Finally...let's have a ton fun
together and par-tay! As the saying goes..."I'd rather lay on the beach
with the one I love...than live in a mansion all by myself". From day#1
here...I envisioned:
a) Team Diamond as a family of
leaders who is being gathered from all over the world for a special purpose(s).
There is strength in numbers. The Lord teaches that when two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Whether
Christian or not...we can all at least agree that it feels great to part of
something bigger than ourselves and that only only He who is on higher
ground...can lift others to better things. Some days, we need to lift and some
days we need to be lifted. In either case above....if a hand of fellowship
isn't extended then no one is served, right?
b) Team Diamond will focus on growth
and success by giving every designer (one by one) the tools, accountability,
and E.P.R. that we all need.
Yes....numbers are key to give us a "report card" on how we are
doing in business. But behind every number is a person and a story. When we
take time to really get to the root of the issue or a concern or bad
habits....then we can more effectively change the outcome. Ezra Taft Benson
said, "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the
outside in. The world would take the people out of the slums. Christ would take
the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.
The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who
then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ
can change human nature.
FYI....E.P.R stands for Encourage,
Praise, Recognize and you will hear me say this acronym often.
Enough said....let's go do something
historic in our cities, states, country, world, and within ourselves! And oh
yeah.....LET'S GET TO WORK!!!
I love Team Diamond. Thanks to all who helped train. Thanks for those who asked questions. And thanks to everyone for listening and coming to the table to learn with eagerness, passion, but also humility. What we learned tonight:
1) Sean loves it when he joins our calls and the ladies all scream at the top of your lungs. It was a dream of his all throughout high school. You will find that he will join more of our calls if we greet and welcome him with screams. Trust me on this one :) LOL
2) Be a "Student of the Business". Take 100% responsibility for your success and failures. Tap into resources all around you but remember the phrase quoted often by one of my idols, Monte Holms, "If it is meant to be.....it is up to ME"! Read, study, ponder, and internalize the Mialisia Training Manual which is the foundation of this business success system....then put it to work thru action!
3) Begin the Fast Start Program "Infinite 8" which is to enroll 8 designers direct your first 8 weeks and earn a highly sought after carrying bag for your kit that will make you scream with excitement when you see it. Trust me...my ears are still ringing from the ladies on our executive team when it was designed and revealed. Second part of the program is having 8 fashion events with a total retail sales of $4000 (which is simply about $500 avg each home party). Completing both challenges earns you the same bag but filled with Mialisia swag that you will love!
4) Free shipping will be discussed by corporate in 90 days. But the inkling is that the free shipping may phase out and will instead be used at different times throughout the year to create urgency and help us promote and drive sales. What we know for sure...for the next 90 days....all orders $40 or more of product (not supplies or kits) will be free for customers and designers.
5) P&Ps will be adjusted and rewritten to clearer portray that nothing has changed with the policy regarding working with another DS company and selling their products too. You just cant co-mingle booths and shows or recruiting. It should have been worded clearer and will be updated. But you are not out of compliance by continuing those pursuits. Sean always wanted you to have flexibility and choices. Just be wise and use good judgement and you will be fine.
5) Never stop recruiting but start thinking production and what are the I.P.A. (Income Producing Activities) that will put money your pocket. Balance learning with working. Dont think there is only way way to be successful. For example, if your Facebook page hasn't taken off...don't sweat it. It is just one of the tools you have. Share ideas and reach out and ask for help if you are not getting the results you want. The opportunity for ALL to make lots of money is here....you just need to always be teachable, find the resources and people to mentor you with proven advice, along with the determination to never give up...keeping focused on why you joined this opportunity and make your dream a reality!
6) Last thing we learned was that Dave has A.D.D. and can be forgetful. I neglected to turn time over to Tammy Brown to announce our final roll out of the BlingTime leads tomorrow. We are ready to give those out now that online stores are up. I asked Tammy to email each winner of the June contest and she will provide you several leads as well as a sample script to email and videos that will help intro Mialisia to these past loyal customers of Annelise. You must however, find the post from a few hours ago and state "yes" if you were here for that contest and if you earned the leads. Thanks for your patience on this. Good luck! We will post a flyer tonight for the team contest that gives you a chance to spend a day with your Mialisia Executive National (Trish Nabrotzky) and Mialisia Founder/CEO (Annelise Brown) at a day spa getting to know them and getting pampered all day.
Good night, my brothers and sisters of Mialisia!!!
If you have A.D.D and this is too much text then skip to the attached photo at the bottom and bypass the hot and steamy details below....
Have you ever been worried about laughing so hard or getting so excited that you accidentally....... pee your pants? Check this out: How fun is it to wake up and see that in the last couple of days I had $613 of unsolicited orders from the online store http://HookedOn.Mialisia.com? I don't even know who these customers are. I made $214.55 while I was sleeping the last 2 nights. If this never grew but just stayed consistent....I would make $3218 each month or $38,619 per year. Now imagine what will happen when I really advertise in the US....and then what happens when I advertise around the world. Then imagine what happens in 3 weeks when my website will take my online orders (after I transfer their contact info that) and will send an autoreponse with a 30 second quick video within 24 hours thanking my customer for their business. How cool! Then once they are in the system, how cool will this be once I show my Team Diamond family that I can set up auto campaigns that go out at set intervals (like a month before Christmas or Mother's Day) and it comes as an email with attached video or promotion for the month)....think of the additional sales you will get over the years with this once you have entered 10,000 emails from trade shows and parties you have collected.
So check this out.....if I hired the same amount of personal designers (my level 1's) the rest of the year and if my online sales never grew but continued the same pace...then my income without even doing a home party or a trade show or downline commissions...That's $50,000 annual income with never leaving my home. What stay-at-home-mom can't get excited about that? Are you kidding? Just for $599 (supplies and jewelry at 65% off of $1600 value). And you don't have to pay $3000 for a website design...instead you it is free for year one and less than $10/month after that.
1) Now imagine if you hired 3 people only. And you taught those how to each hire three people and you taught those how to each hire three people. That gives you 39 designers in YOUR COMPANY
2) Now imagine if each designer only had time to do one home party a month at $1000 in retail sales. That pays you another $9400 each month in commission and that is if you all stopped recruiting.
3) Now imagine if each designer did a trade show twice a year. At $3000 in retail sales that pays another $2100/yr just on your personal sales. And your down-line commission is about $20K from that
Add online sales+$50 enrollment bonuses+trade shows = $70K annual income or almost $6K per month on a very part time basis.
Wanna pee your pants with excitement NOW?!?!?
Imagine if your team of 39 each got 3 more recruits the next month...now you have over 150 designers. Go ahead and work out the annual income on that and try as hard as you can to hold "it" in, smile, and say out loud...oh my gosh....this is incredible....hunny....you gotta quit your job and work this business with me. If we both did this side by side we could $140K just in year one and thats before Dave takes us global!!
To which you peeked his interest...so he walks over to you and says two things:
First, "Why do you smell like pee?" and second comment will be "WOW....let's do this, babe!!!!"
Plan, prioritize, execute, follow up. Then make money and have fun!
Necklace

Everyone:
The
last date to get the Complete Fashion Event Kit at $499 is this Tuesday, August 6th at
11:59 pm. At that time, the early enrollment
discount will no longer be available, and the kits will be priced at
$599. The kit contents will not change, however, so the kits will
still be valued at $1600.
Orders
for discounted or free items—earned through the success of a Fashion
Event—do not count toward Qualifying Volume (which counts
toward rank achievements) or Commissionable Volume (which counts
toward your downline commission payments.) Additionally, Fashionista
and Designer coupons apply to the retail price per item, not your
65% wholesale price.
You
have 10 days
left to get $150 of free jewelry when you enroll for
our leadership conference. We will still be taking enrollments after
that time, but you must enroll by August 15 for the jewelry
gift. You can enroll by visiting http://www.cvent.com/d/7cqydv and
clicking “Register.”
Purchase or rent a raffle wheel. Sure you may give away $100-$200 in giveaways but look at picture #2 which shows literally women waiting in line 30+ min and backed up around the corner just for a handful of gum/candy. Imagine doing this for 4 days and requiring each person before they spin the wheel to sign up for your monthly newsletters. We have lists 1000+ from just this simple idea. One show we actually went to local businesses and franchises and got them to donate coupons and things...free hamburger, free ice cream cone, buy one get one free, etc. Many corporations have a marketing budget for donations and would love the opportunity to have someone hand out their coupons and indirectly get free advertising. Win-win-win
The line for this raffle was 30 min. of a wait and I counted at one time over 48 women standing in line (after walking an entire huge convention hall)
Here was one of our 10x10 booths and how we displayed and hung the jewelry. Then we had inventory of our best selling items in plastic totes with lids and labels.
Here is what we stored our charms and such with the former Jewelry company.
Here were the plastic totes and labels we brought to the trade shows
Here is just a small sample of the beads that we used to make the jewelry of our former company. This represents about 1/20th of what we have. Anyone wanna buy beads? Find a wholesale bead buyer to buy it all and I will give 20% commission to you :) This represents probably $50K retail of beads that I am selling for $20K since we are not hand-making the jewelry anymore and I want to get ride of the inventory.
Just a sample of jewelry inventory. We built a simple wood structure from 2x4s and then used hooks that slide in between the slats and it held an enormous amount of necklace inventory. We also had similar (bit smaller) displays on wheels that could be easily transported.
More ways we stored the jewelry inventory. Note we are unpacking so our floor is normally seen and not an obstacle course. Now our family room with 6 kids is another story as far as organizing and ability to see the floor at any given time.
I love Mialisia. Here is an older picture of our growing team of 200+ designers along with their pics and city and state they reside in.
We are hours before our official launch....you may sit there and have doubts and fears....wondering if you will have the success you desire. Wondering if you are ready for this race. Wondering if you can do it. Wondering if you will have the time to grow a business. Wondering if you will have the strength and power to overcome your Goliath....whatever that is. Maybe that is this direct sales business. Maybe that is a trial in your personal life. Maybe it is in a struggling relationship with a spouse, a child, or parent. Maybe you are excited but scared. You know that others can do this, but can "you". My promise is that if you do your part, and your team does their part, and I do my part....then we ought to have confidence knowing that the Lord ALWAYS does his part. Here is the secret not found in the newly released training manual. Here is how you will have strength to not just enter the race, but to finish it and to finish on top...for nothing can soar higher than that of an eagle. Here is your promise:
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:31)
May I humbly admit that there is nothing more inspiring than the heart and love and determined daughter of God of which all you women are! You have genes of greatness in you. I believe in you! You can do this. You can push through life's challenges! I know life is hard. My family has gone thru our fair share of crap too. We wanted to give up too. We lost most hope too at times. Just this week I had our septic tank go out and our backyard was filled with crap. The sight and smell was horrible. The smell was strong even within our home. I already had a wife who threw up at the smell of pickles and ice cream and had been bed-bound and curled in the fetal position for 5 weeks and so sick from pregnancy that she had been in and out of the emergency room multiple times. She cant hold anything down. She cant read or watch TV so she stares at the wall hour after hour. Add to that no income really for 3 months while we have been preparing for this launch. Think of the financial strain that puts on a family. I could list 10 more pages of trials the Nabrotzky's have been blessed with over the last 12 months. I will be honest that a few days ago when we found out that one of our tiny twin babies had passed away...it made my heart sink. I looked up to heaven and cried wondering when there can be some relief for my sweet Trisha. I feel so helpless to lift her burdens. We thought we were being tested beyond our strength or ability to cope. But somehow....in some heavenly way...we are strengthened...we are lifted....we are prayed for...and prayers are answered in their own way
I am reminded that we YOU can do this. We can do all things with the Lord!! All things! That means we can endure trials, that means we can pursue worthwhile business pursuits with success. That means that you women can be lifted up and strengthened as individuals, daughters, mothers, wifes, etc. Let's get thru life's refiner together and do something special for our families and those around us and something special
Many of you have asked how many Mialisia Designers populate a particular state. Here are the numbers as of this morning: AE 1 AK 4 AL 42 AR 2 AS 1 AZ 35 CA 61 CO 10 CT 4 DC 1 DE 1 FL 25 GA 34 GU 1 HI 3 IA 46 ID 34 IL 23 IN 21 KS 7 KY 9 LA 5 MA 3 MD 27 ME 1 MI 30 MN 32 MO 13 MS 5 MT 1 NC 16 ND 1 NE 5 NH 2 NJ 16 NM 4 NV 4 NY 67 OH 31 OK 5 OR 4 PA 49 PR 1 SC 6 SD 4 TN 28 TX 54 UM 1 UT 150 VA 17 WA 9 WI 15 WV 11 WY 5

Jugglers throwing things in the air....funny faces...lion growls...little ones being thrown in the air...cotton candy stained faces...screams and sighs from the on-lookers....
Did you have an image of a CIRCUS...OR...the average day in the Nabrotzky household of 8? Normal family...normal career...normal life....well......amidst others in the same chaos, I guess we all seem normal.
Trish and I are embarking on a journey together. Taking a business from a small room in our home and trying to get this unique and patented product into homes across America starting this summer 2013. We want to share our successes and failures...ups and downs...in hopes that others can learn from this experience as well. Our business model is aimed at hiring women who want to earn some extra cash by explaining this interchangeable jewelry concept via home parties. We are accepting applications now and will be capping our team to the first 500 women during our pre-launch phase for those wanting to be a part of something ground-floor! We hope that this blog will be a melting pot of other women's experiences as well as who are pursuing their dreams whether at home or in a career or other capacity. May we all be inspired to learn, grow, and achieve greatness!! Our story thus far has not been "easy" nor will it eventually be. This has been our experience thus far. Can you relate this to life?:
Our dreams are based on the belief system and encouragement from parents and true friends that we can be anything we want to be.
When a woman is brought up with that motivation the sky is the limit! It meant opportunities were limitless. Is it a coincidence that our company slogan is "Endless Possibilities"?
The true American Dream is all about opportunity for success and living independently doing the things you want to do. It isn't about money or material things. We look forward to sharing and hearing many great real like stories in the months and years ahead and hope it will be an inspiration and a STRENGTH FOR WOMEN EVERYWHERE!!!
