MAKE 2018 your best year yet!
So, as we move into 2018, what are you going to do? If things didn’t go too well in 2017, if you stayed comfortable and let fear prevent you from achieving your goals; will you repeat it in 2018? Or, will you set a goal right now – get uncomfortable – and work towards achieving it every day of 2018? Hayley Harding, Sharlene Lesa, Esther Tevega, Siutaka Vaka, Asenita Tiseli, Moana & Sonasi Samita, Ofa Wright, Anaise & Sione Saafi and Olioni Tuionetoa have all proven that normal, hard-working people can advance to Senior Director. In 2018, you can too. Set a goal now and good
This year… I will. Our 2017 convention theme was, in my opinion, a very strong one. A great deal can be accomplished in a year. At convention I committed to helping you write a new story for Melaleuca in Australia and New Zealand: “… We’ll double the size of the business by the end of 2018 … we’ll develop 44 new Senior Directors … then, we’ll lead and dominate the direct sales industry …” I have to admit it, when I was making this announcement, I was apprehensive – even scared. Getting out of your comfort-zone is, well, uncomfortable and that’s why so many people don’t do it. We fear failure and embarrassment, and what people might say about us, just the thought of standing up and telling people what we are going to do is petrifying. So, we don’t do it. It’s easier to stay comfortable and safe even though we beat ourselves up for not achieving our potential. From my experience though, reality is far better than what we imagine. Once you get over the sweaty palms and butterflies in your stomach and make a no-matter-what
commitment everything flips – it becomes more uncomfortable to NOT be working towards your goals, the fear of failure and embarrassment become your friend - they drive you towards your goal! This can be a scary place to be but as you move past your fears and disappointments something almost miraculous starts to happen: little-by-little, you become successful. In 2017 alone Melaleuca Australia and New Zealand, a 17 year-old established business has grown by a truly amazing 34%. As you know, we only grow when you are advancing your businesses and it has been incredible to see almost 1000 advancements in 2017 … remarkable considering we had less than 200 advancements in 2016! Not only that, we’ve seen nine brand new Senior Directors this year putting us well on our path to 44 by the end of 2018. It didn’t happen all at once, and initially I didn’t know if it would happen at all but I’m glad I kept believing and working – so many people have benefitted from the Pacesetter Senior Director strategy!
luck with achieving it this year. Best wishes for the year ahead,
Yours truly,
