SENIOR DIRECTOR ADVANCEMENTS NEW 8

Carole Sellar South Australia Don’t Settle for Just a Good Life

working parents and setting their kids up for life, I had a major ‘Aha’ moment.” Explains Carole. “My whole life I have always settled for what is comfortable. Senior Director and the lifestyle it provides – while so different to my life as a cleaner – is good, but I still have debt. I still have family that I’d love to set up for life. I still have places I want to see and experience! I realised that I am nowhere near done yet, and I would not settle for a good life – I want a great life! Now and for generations to come. So I made the decision to focus on National Director.” Taking the mission statement of enhancing lives to heart, Carole began her strategy to National Director by focusing on who she could help. “I believe that everyone is capable of talking to others about Melaleuca. Everyone has the capability of enrolling customers and becoming a Senior Director. What they lack is the courage and the belief that it is possible.” Said Carole. “So, I stopped waiting for people to tell me they were ready. I purposely sought them out, took the time figure out how I could help them, and I became that fountain of belief when they had none. Basically, I stopped listening to excuses as to why they couldn’t be successful, and helped them see why they would.” It was with this mind-set and sheer determination to make a difference that Carole double advanced her business to Senior Director 7 and Senior Director 8 in May 2017. Presented with a cheque of $13,404.56, her reaction was priceless. “Who knew refusing to settle would feel so good?!” Carole shouted. With her sights set firmly on Executive Director by the end of July and National Director by the end of 2018, the word ‘settle’ has been removed from her vocabulary for good. “We only get one life. Why spend it wishing for something more? I’m upgrading mine one year at a time – are you with me?” “We only get one life. Why spend it wishing for something more? I’m upgrading mine one year at a time – are you with me? ”

Fresh from her fairy-tale ending of 2016, then Senior Director 6 and newly crowned Marketing Executive of the Year Carole Sellar was content. “For the first time ever, I wasn’t struggling. The bills weren’t piling up every week, and I didn’t feel that gut wrenching anxiety when I went to the Supermarket. Every month, my mortgage payment came out and I didn’t even notice! I can’t tell you how different my life has become.” Explained Carole. Fueled initially by her need to change her life (which she did!), and then her need to help her business partner Hayley Harding do the same (which she also did!), Carole found herself in unfamiliar territory. “When Hayley advanced to Senior Director, I thought wow! It’s all happened now, I’ve achieved everything I set out to do. It was like the pressure was off – I was set!” She explained. Zooming around town in her beloved Ford Kuga (paid for my Melaleuca of course!), and enjoying a six figure income – a far cry from her $40K a year domestic cleaning income – it’s hard to argue with this logic. However it was while attending the North American Convention in May of this year that Carole began to realise her story was nowhere near finished. “When I saw everyday people burning their mortgages on stage, giving back to their hard
