End of the Month Hustle

Wednesday August 31, 2016

     As a network marketer the last day of the month is the most stressful. Distributors working hard to use promotional vouchers before they expire. Leaders blowing up their cell phones calling, texting, emailing as they reach for making sure all members don't miss out on the months promotions or miss out on commissions due them. From morning until late into the night following up with those who showed interests, mentioned oils in passing, responded to your text or referrals, those who haven't gotten back to you from your last call. This is when I feel i'm my best at entrepreneurship.

     I love the rush of being on the clock as the minutes tick down to a new month, when everything goes back to zero and we start the process all over again. Though stressful, I slather on Clarity, Abundance and Highest Potential essential oils and tackle the the day with vigor. Because the day is full and fast paced with multi faceted parts and angles of business, focus and clear thinking is a must. I'm one person but wear the hats of many.
      People who are ignorant about Network Marketing's business model, sees it as a pyramid working off the backs of family and friends. They couldn't be more wrong!
     For us who work it everyday we know it's really about helping and educating family, friends and all people so they understand our health begins with us. We, the people, can make better health choices by choosing clean nontoxic products for our homes. It's about relationships with our members, helping them choose the best products for their particular concern. It's about our business builders who need encouragement or to lock arms with team mates to help nudge them toward their goal. Everyone has their place. There's No better time to see the Team in action than at the end of a month.
     
     Month End means working hard so that no one misses out on a promotion, commission and especially a Rank. Entire teams pull together calling, sharing, giving samples, doing last minute one on ones, throw together parties and classes in efforts to help a fellow worker reach their goals. It's not about the person at the top, although sometimes they need us too. It's about helping those on the team, wherever they are in the leg, to reach their goals. When I help them, it'll help me in the long run. It's my intent to inspire, encourage, teach, listen and assist. In other words build a friendship. 
     Networkers are family. They are relationship builders. No other business where the success of those on your team is so intricately tied into ones own success. People helping people get healthy, adding abundance to their lives on every level. In the process we rise to a higher potential, changing lives and growing as individuals while serving up the best oil infused products available in the world.
 
     I have much appreciation for all that pull together every month on that last day of the month, putting all other things aside while we take care of business, doing what we do. Build others to success. That's Network Marketing.

Essential Oils Arsenal Must Haves

     Most people have heard something about essential oils. Their popularity and use has grown ten fold over last few years. Because of the upward interest in them, I've decide it may be best to go through some of the most popular oils used today. 

     Before I do, let me say... The market is being flooded by upstarts trying to get in on the oil bandwagon but, don't be fooled, all essential oils ARE NOT the same. When I talk about Using Oils, I will always be referencing Young Living brand. I've done the home work. These are in the top 1% of Therapeutic oils. They have been around for nearly 25 years and are known as the world leader in essential oils. When using Topically (on skin), diffusing (breathing into lungs), or ingesting (taken by capsule, in a drink or under tongue), I only want the best for me and my family. Thus would not share any that are inferior for yours. With that said, let's get to it.
     Most people are familiar with Lavender, Peppermint and maybe Lemon oils. They have been used for centuries for lots of things. I will start with one that you may have used yourself, Peppermint.

     Back in the day people would chew on peppermint leaves to sooth an irritable gut. Today we can rub one drop of oil on our belly and find the same relief from occasional stomach upset. I love a pitcher of cucumber water with just One drop of peppermint oil in it. I drink it through out the day. It's awesome for supporting the gastro-intestinal system. Plus, it's so refreshing and freshens your breath naturally.
     Though we always want to be above the wellness line, occasionally daily stresses on our body happen and a occasional headache results. My go to oil is a drop of peppermint on my temples and back of neck (you may want to dilute with a carrier oil). Also, a drop on thumb pressed to the roof of your mouth is a quick way to settle your mind.
     This summer has been hotter than our norm here in Ohio, so I add few drops of peppermint to a spray mist bottle, fill with water and have it close by for a refreshing cooling spritz. It's nice to have near you nightstand, too.
     Schools have long known that peppermint wakes up the mind, causing alertness. They often give children peppermint candy before and while testing. One report says that if you diffuse peppermint oil while your child is studying, he may recall 28% better. Wish I'd known that when my kids were in school.
     Last but not least. Peppermint diluted* with a carrier oil like Olive, Jojoba, coconut oil, makes an awesome rub for massaging. Rub down neck, shoulders, lower back and feel the tension slip away. *Peppermint is a HOT oil. For for children and adults with more sensitive skin, dilute. I use two tablespoons carrier to 4-5 drops of peppermint oil. Wash hands after using. Will burn if it gets into your eyes. 
     Do some research for yourself. Peppermint is a must have in your Natural arsenal of defense and support.

     WINNER of the bottle of Peppermint will be announced on Mondays blog. How do you enter? Share this page with your 5 of your friends, Leave a comment below and be entered to WIN.

Last night Happy Oiler team husbands got together to do an online Facebook class of their own called  "Oils for Dudes." What fun to watch them share their thoughts about their favorite Young Living oils and products. Talking about hair care - to best oils for the bedroom. Yep, our own Anthony Mott tackled the sensitive but all important subject. Consensus is: get your man Shutran oil stat.  On another note, Who knew lemon oil is so versatile? Cleaning funk from car battery terminals to putting a great shine on the wheels of your car.

Happy Oiler team has sponsored a sequence of educational Online Facebook

oil classes throughout the 2016 summer. "OILS 101","Got my oils, now what", "Get Lean and Fit", "All about Ningxia Red", "OILS for Dudes", "Back to School" to name a few.

Thinking Out Of The Box

     A Pandora box of insight was opened the moment I punched the words, natural remedies into the Google search bar. Since then, I have learned there is not just one natural remedy for nearly everything that plagues mankind. There's dozens.
     Someone said to me recently, "So what "thing" are you into now?" At first I was a little offended but after reasoning I can see how they could say that. My course over the last 12 years may seem like I bounce from one "great alternative" way of healing to another. There's so many different ways to help our immune system to recover from disease, to help it fight to keep us from becoming sick in the first place, keeping us healthy behind the scenes while we live a good life, and so yes I am guilty, I have been interested in them all. 
     It is hard not to share information that I know has truly helped me and may help others, in a non-toxic way. Take for instance, depression. Been there done that. OR at least that's what doctors had me believe. Like a million other women I was prescribed all kinds of pills over a 15 year course. Prozac, Wellbutrin, Desyrel, Zoloft and others. Still never answering why I was depressed, anxious, down. Even with the meds the depression would always return. Thus, the switch to another medicine. Tired of the obvious, I investigated and read much about Omega 3's and  Complex Vitamin B's and what effects not having enough of these in our systems does to our brains. I started a regimen of a tbsp. liquid fish oil  2X a day and Mega Foods B complex  (whole food no fillers) 2 times a day. Within a very short time I started feeling better. Energy and positive thoughts flooded my mind. I felt better than I had in years. I have not taken any prescription drugs for depression in nearly 20 years. Depression along with a host of other things subsided. And it is so easy, non toxic. I did not hear this from a doctor. I read it in books. In documents found on the internet. My brain was starved for the nutrients that make it work right. Once those nutrients fed my brain, depression symptoms let up. This is not to tell you what to do, it is what worked for me.

     My belief is that chiropractic is: awesome for many  ailments that plague people. Acupunture/acupresser is awesome for many diseases, as is the different massages. I believe vitamins and supplementation or lack  thereof play a huge role in all common diseases of today. Good Nutrition is a key that has been explored by traditional medicine only recently.  Something that "alternative medicine" has long proclaimed as one of the answers to many of the devastating illnesses plaguing mankind.  Lesser know reflexology which my mother had an attachment, holds a place for healing, as well as the ancient, yet seemly new booming business of Essential oils.

     I don't claim to know everything about any one health alternative but, I do spend a great deal of time getting enough information to make educated choices about what I might do in individual circumstances.  I'm not a specialist. I'm  more like a general contractor. Know a lot about many areas of health, some much better than others. I have learned what it takes to keep me out of a doctors office, in fact, except for a naturopath I see occasionally, I don't do doctors.  An occasional asprin and the bioidentical hormones i'm currently on, (eventually I will wean off them and use Essential Oils to balance my hormones. I am on no other prescription drugs. At 56 I think that's pretty good. 

     That's not to say my family and I never get sick. Of course we do. But there's a remedy, nutrient or oil for that.    IF, I jump on a cold at the first sneeze or within "the golden hour", supplementing vitamin C & D (boost immune system) and Echinacea (boost immune and dry up sinuses) every 4 hours, I can usually get rid of it before it gets a firm hold. If not I will be sick for at least a week. 

     

In fact, as I write this I am fighting a cold. It's being fought with some of my old favs and some new additions. Two ounces twice a day of a wolfberry super power antioxidant drink called NingXia Red (see above) We ad the Knockout Shot to the NingXia and took this for three days. I also rubbed 1 drop each of peppermint, lavender and frankincense on all the vitaflex points (feet, hands and chest) for sinuses/chest. We used Echinacea and peppermint oil to help dry up and open the nasal passages. Had I had my Netti Pot we would have done that too but, I left it back in Ohio. I suspect this cold will be all but gone tomorrow. Making my down time 3 days. I  used the same technique on my husband last week when he came down with all the classic symptoms of cold/flu on Thursday and was pretty much back to himself by Sunday. We're literally in the test period of proving to ourselves if essential oils are all that books and people say they are. So far we have not been disappointed. This new protocol proved worthy of finding its way into our medicine cabinet and remedy book.

    

     What about the little pink, blue and yellow packets? Wheat? Sugar? These are all common everyday foods that have been all a buzz. Can they possibly be the culprits of so many problems that have developed over the last forty years? "IF this is true all the doctors would know." Why don't we hear about it on the News? Argh! that's a whole nother blog. Research!

     It is my opinion that how much of these things a person uses has a clear impact on how well or how sick she will become, whether now or down the road. This world is a sick place. I try to keep up with current topics. Some ring true, some don't. But IF I don't put in my due diligence to learn and understand, how can I or anyone else poopoo or agree  with any one thought. Many times it the people who haven't taken a lick of time to research a subject, use a natural remedy, try a technique or use a protocol for a period of time that are the most vocal in the bashing of the claims. Their disbelief is founded on hearsey and ignorance.

     If you come to me with an ailment or question, I will happily direct you to resources that I've found helpful. Books, websites, videos and even an essential oil. It will be up to you to follow through and come to your own conclusions. 
     It's funny how things have come a full 360. Forty years down the pike I am the one everyone calls a "health nut."

     "So what am I into lately?" Continue to follow my blog and you will be learning right along with me about the world of  Young Living Essential Oils.
