SENIOR DIRECTOR 3 ADVANCEMENTS NEW

Carole Sellar South Australia There is no such thing as luck

Executive and incredible things started to happen. Carole showed Hayley the importance of making approaches and enrolling and Hayley put it into action, advancing her business to Director the very next month. The following month Carole advanced her business to Director 4 and so began a beautiful trend of Carole helping Hayley to advance her business and then—with much assistance from Hayley’s new customers—Carole herself advancing. Most recently, this provided a heart-warming dual advancement at U.S. Convention in May. In the company of Frank, McKay and thousands of Melaleuca Marketing Executives from around the world Carole advanced to Senior Director 3 and Hayley to Director 7. Carole recounts: “When I heard Hayley had advanced, I was completely overjoyed and filled with a sense of pride!” Did these advancements happen because of luck? Not according to Carole, “The key to [building] a Melaleuca business is personal activity, you can’t ask your team to do something that you’re not prepared to do.” The result: eight personal enrolments for Carole and seven members of her team achieving either Circle of Influence or Expanded Circle of Influence—giving Carole her best growth month ever. Many aspiring Senior Directors think that there has to be more than hard-work to building a successful Melaleuca business, something Carole experiences regularly: “I feel humbled that so many people ask me what my secret is!” to which she responds, “I’m just an everyday person, who used to make a living cleaning houses. I’m not special and I don’t hold any secret.” It’s true, Carole’s success, like all successful Marketing Executives, is down to a very simple formula: enrol customers—as many as possible, duplicate this by helping others make approaches and enrolments and lead by example! Congratulations to Carole on her awesome advancement, there will—no doubt—be many more! Stop wishing for a good luck streak. Save your lotto money. Instead, set a goal to change your life, work hard on that goal every day, and… very soon we’ll be congratulating you on your Senior Director advancement!

Many people use luck as their vehicle to success in life. Some put the same effort into their jobs each day and look forward to the lucky day when they get a promotion. Others habitually play the lotto, Keno or the pokies waiting for lady luck to give them just one big win! In either case, it’s very unlikely that luck will provide any meaningful change to your life. The truth is that luck is something you create, as Thomas Jefferson said, The harder I work the luckier I get. “ ” A great example of this is Senior Director 3 Carole Sellar. At 56 years of age, Carole was making-ends-meet cleaning houses. Many would have considered Carole unlucky but Carole has something far, far more valuable than luck to create her success: a very, very strong work ethic. In her very first month Carole teamed-up with her enroller Senior Director 5 Yvette Brewin. They worked really well together, Yvette helping Carole with approaches and presentations. The outcome: a Director 2 advancement with 15 personal customer enrolments and a $1771.39 cheque. It was the perfect way to start a Melaleuca business and it formed the foundation for everything that followed. On April 14th 2014 Carole enrolled a new customer and a partnership that would enhance two lives was born! Director 7 Hayley Harding joined Carole as a Category 3 Marketing
