We are headed to New Orleans!

What a girlfriend weekend this will be! I can wait to be celebrating with many of you in October and what a place to celebrate my 40th birthday with each of you, so I hope you will all spa America and join me in one of the best destinations in the South! We will dine at the finest restaurants, we will have a blast on a river boat cruise! And we are on the edge of the French Quarter, full of fun and rich heritage! I hope you will be joining me! Be sure to share with 4 Spa Girls by March 31st and something exciting will be rewarded to you by BC on April 1st! All they said was Less is More, you read between the lines!

What an incredible Leadership Conference it was for all 250 of us, you can now enjoy all the excitement in the pictures beside this post! We learned so much, for one, we know now we are a ATM machine, which is anytime cash! Anytime you need a little spending money, all we have to do is SPA! We learned that we are with just a handful of companies that pays out 50% commissions to their consultants! We really do have incredible earnings opportunities available to even the part part time spa girl! Just $300 a month could dramatically impact a families lifestyle! Who knew that the average family is living 130% over what they are bringing in, meaning you have an incredible way for them to get ahead. The stories of all the life changes were inspirational and many were rewarded on our team!!!!!!! Blog me back if you were an award winner in Dallas. Dawn Simmons was the #1 recruiting Executive Director and Tammy Vogler also was the #1 recruiter in her category! It was awesome seeing all the rewards and recognition!
It was an honor seeing Lynda Alexander and Gari Flowers be recognized on stage as brand new Sr Executive Directors!!!!!! Amazing what they have done to change thousands of lives!!!!!
We had 2 amazing promotions on March 1st, Marie Garrett is a new Executive Director & she never dreamed of doin this for a business, much less promoting to one of the top levels in the company!!!!!!!! Marie believes in the power of spa and she has never missed an awards recruiting trip since she joined, she promoted out 2 lives that will be forever changed, Amy Scott and Candy Olberding and she is living the freedom life she so desperately needed to balance her career and family! She actually was fired from her job for going to help her brother take care of his kids(her neice & nephew) when her sister- in- law suddenly died at a very young age.
When she returned from helping them, she already had her kid's spring break planned and there was no way she was missing out on that after what she had been through! Little did she know when she returned to the office that they would let her go telling her that her priorities were not in line!!!!!!!!! This was several years ago, but I remember thinking when she called me, another life saved!!!! Marie drives a beautiful red racy Mustang and really is living her life be design. BeautiControl was her plan B, but quickly became her plan A! You truly never know what the future holds so it never hurts to be ready! Congrats to Marie and her Executive team, together anything is possible!!!!!!!
My next post will be about a young brand new Mustang Driver, Lisa Rendina, from California! She bought the kit several times before she took the business seriously, her story coming this week! This is one smart SPA GIRL!!!!!!
One of my favorite things I heard at the conference is that we are really a personal developement company disguised as a Direct Sales company! Have you grown since you joined??
Maybe you can go & thank the person that asked you to join~ WHAT A LIFE CHANGING BUSINESS!!!!!! You are powerful beyond measure!!

I will leave you with some tips gathered from one of Marie Garrett's leaderss, Tina Caron!
Please email me your top 10 tips learned at Leadership so I can share with all those that were not there!THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING TINA! Everyone can get a taste of Dallas!

Tina's Top 10~
1. At my age that I can still survive on 4 1/2 hrs of sleep a night

2. BC went the extra mile for this promotion by giving for every recruit and challenging us to help take the company to the next level -- this is definitely corporate thinking outside the box and thinking of others. My recruiting will now focus on helping those kids. That is something I'm passionate about. I may have found my why.

3. That our company can still produce amazing products and explain it so I can replicate it - TFF - wow!!

4. The speakers were energized and I got excited again.

5. The speakers taught me words to say and different ways to say it.

6. Blair showed us how easy makeup can be simple - I needed to stop making it so scary and just do it.

7. Learned a great way to qualify recruits - thank you Kitty Barrow =
Dawn's way too!!! Great minds think alike!
$225 Retail (plus tax/shipping)
$100 to the new recruit when her spa sales are $225 (see above)
$175 in free product goes to you for doing the spa
= $500 Retail order at sign up paid for

8. Georgia Savoie reminded us how to be gracious and witty with your clients. The little things you do that count too. Like wrapping each product in tissue when they reorder, adding a few makeup sponges when they order foundation.

9. I got to see BC reward those behind the scenes -- our support staff at BC. I take notice when a company not only takes care of those in the field but also those behind the scenes.

10. Hostess coaching -- how to make it simple, keep it simple and to own it.

Thanks to everyone who invested time in your future and joined us in Dallas, Celebration will be here quickly and they will sell out, join us!!! Don't miss the conference calls, they are the secret to your success!
Dream Big!!!! It will never pay to dream small! Check back on Fridays for new postings! Please blog back any great Leadership tips!!!!
Your Spa Girl On The Go!!!!!!
