If you’re already in direct sales, you know that it’s not always easy to keep the
priorities straight. Particularly when your business is just starting, but also when
you get things going at a good clip in your business, direct sales can take on a life
of its own and quickly cross the boundaries of happy home life. Here are 10 quick
tips for helping to keep the Mom part of your life at the forefront while still running
a successful Direct Sales business.

1. Plan - Sit down with your calendar and write out everything non-direct sales
business related first. Decide which of those things are non-negotiable no matter
how many people want to do parties on that day. And then keep them non-
negotiable! Write in kids events, date nights with hubby, vacations, birthdays and
birthday parties and plain old “just because” family time.

2. Power Hour - One of my favorite speakers in the direct sales field is Belinda
Ellsworth. Her power hour is a tremendous way to manage your business life. It’s
simple too! Here’s the quick rundown: Take 4 manila folders. Mark 1 as recruiting,
1 as booking, 1 as customer service and 1 as downline management. Decide on an
hour in your day when you are going to work the phones for your business. Take
your folders, set a timer and work each folder for 15 minutes only. When the 15
minutes is up, move to the next folder. As you interact with customers, recruits and
downline put the information in these folders until the next time you sit down for
your power hour. You will be amazed at how much work you can really accomplish
when you are focused for that hour of time.

3. Office door - Use it! After you are done with your power hour or email time or
whatever, walk out of the room and CLOSE the door! Or if you’re working with the
laptop (see below) turn it off and close the laptop.

4. Get a laptop. A laptop with wireless Internet is a great tool for moms. You can
get them pretty inexpensively now too. While the kids are doing their homework,
pop open the laptop, sit WITH them and do your emails then. When they’re done
with the homework, close the laptop and be done with your work as well.

5. Freedom Friday - Decide on one day in each week where you will be “off”. This
can be Friday or any day, but decide on it and then actually do it. Commit to it with
your kids, put it on your calendar and enjoy it. You’ll love it and the emails can wait!
Once your customers and downline understand that this is your day off, they will
respect it.

6. Use the “open date card “concept. Determine which days of the weeks you’ll be
doing parties and write those down on a separate booking calendar or individual
party date cards. When you are at your parties and getting future bookings only
book parties on the dates that you set in advance on that calendar or on the cards.
If someone needs a different date than you have available, find her another
consultant (preferable in your downline!) to take the party.

7. Automate - Use the tools of the Internet to automate as much of your business
as you can. Use an auto-responder for your recruit email packets and your downline
training. Have a voicemail message available with a 10-minute presentation on your
business that potential recruits can call before they call you with questions. Do
conference calls with your downline so that you can address issues with the whole
group rather than one on one with each of them, etc.

8. Involve your kids - Make your direct sales business a family affair. Employ your
children to help with putting labels on catalogs, filing your paperwork, packing up
your supplies for your parties, making the bank deposits, etc. As they get older
their work responsibilities can increase too. You can even pay them tax-free and
write it off as a legitimate business expense. Talk to your accountant about this
great home business benefit.

9. Hire a maid. If your business is really on a roll and you need to spend more time
on business, don’t take that time away from your family, take it away from other
parts of your life, like the housecleaning instead. Hire a maid to do the big
housecleaning jobs and use the time you would normally be doing that to hang with
the
kids. It’ll be worth every penny.

10. Have fun - remember that your kids are only young once. They need you to be
mommy FIRST and businesswoman second, even if your family does need the extra
money your Direct Sales business brings in. Work smarter, not harder and enjoy
your kids while you can.

Tukla, king of Persia, once visited a devotee and said : “My years have been fruitless. None but the beggar carries riches from the world when earthly dignities are passed. Hence, I would now sit in the corner of devotion that I might usefully employ the few short days that yet remain to me.”

The devotee was angered at these words.

“Enough”, he cried. “Religion consists alone in the service of the people; it finds no place in the rosary, or pray-rug, or tattered garment. Be a king in sovereignty and a devotee in purity of morals. Action, not words, is demanded by religion , for words without action are void of substance.

This entertaining anecdote is from Bustan written by Sage of Shiraz. Sheikh Muslih-ud-din Sadi was born in Shiraz in Persia, A.D. 1175. He lived for 116 years.

All through his life he stressed that to fulfill one’s duties towards one’s fellowmen is to fulfill one’s duty towards the deity. That is the root idea of his teachings. “Religion”, he
observes. “consists only in the service of people!”
“They alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive”, thundered Swami Vivekananda.

Ved Vyas the greatest scholar ever lived on the earth has written 18 great Hindu Scriptures known as Puranas and the great epic Mahabharatha. He has composed nearly four lac seventyone thousand verses in Sanskrit. He read crores of books and was referred as Vyas, the great intellect!.
He was asked what is religious merit and what is sin.
He took only one part of the verse for the reply.He said: “I am going to tell the world in half of the verse what I learnt from crores of books I have come across. Doing good to others is VIRTUE. Doing harm to others is SIN.”

This is the greatest secret of life one should learn. And this is the essence of crores of books as declared by Ved Vyas.
All religions viz Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Jainisam, Buddhism insist ’service to people’ and doing good to the fellow beings!
A hand that serves is holier than the lips that pray!

Sometimes, life hands us a beautiful lesson within just one short experience. The other day, I left my house and drove through my neighborhood, only to end up at my least favorite intersection just as the light was turning red. This particular stop light greatly favors the traffic on the main street and seems to take a small eternity to turn green when approached from my direction.

Thinking myself such a clever girl, I decided to detour down another side street. I figured I could circle around to the main street and approach the same intersection from the other direction while the light was still green.

Wouldn’t you know it, but just as I approached the intersection, the light turned red for the main street traffic. I had to laugh as I sat at that red light, watching the traffic pull out of my side street. I knew if I had just waited patiently, I’d be cruising along already.

That’s the thing about perfect timing. When the time is not quite right for us to “get on the road” towards our goals, we can do one of two things. We can sit patiently at the red light and make the most of our time there. We can enjoy listening to the radio. We can even take care of a few details, like putting on lipstick or checking the voice mail on our cell phone. Or we can spin our wheels on a useless detour, wasting gas and energy, only to realize that, after all that effort, the red light is still in front of us.

The next time you encounter a stop light in your life, consider that perhaps the timing is not quite right yet. Perhaps you’ve already taken a few detours of your own, only to end up stuck at the same crossroads. Take a deep breath, and try just enjoying where you are right now. The time for forward movement has perhaps simply not yet come. Gather your resources and do what you can to be productive.

Just like at an intersection, when it is your turn to go, there will be a shift in the flow of traffic. The way for you to move forward will suddenly become free of other vehicles, free of obstacles. But until the light turns in your favor, trust that you are in that perfect place before the next step. When you do proceed, it will be with perfect timing!

We’ve all scuffled and panicked to come across an unusual present for a loved one someone special. Many times, we’ve ended up buying something too expensive for us to buy- or, worse, something we’re not even sure the recipient cares for- out of total desperation. In an age where festival partying means so much,
the effort to find the right presents can bring on a lot of stress.

Presents that are unusualcan be rare, uncommon, or even odd. By now you are already thinking about many outlandish and glamorous unusual presents. It’s great to get creative remember at some point you need to come down to earth and make unusual present acquisitions. Just sit down with paper and pen and think about it.

Everything conforms in modern time, sometimes it’s fun to do the unusual. Sometimes, giving unusual presents at the right time can be entertaining also. It takes a lot of deliberation to outdistance yourself on the uniform thing over and over again. So giving unusual presents might break the mold and make for advanced and artistic presents. Offering unique presents can not only be fun, it might be the variance from all the other presents people receive.

Following interpretation, most likely you by now have some extra thoughts for unusual presents that might get better on these. Find Unusual Christmas Presents for him and click here.

A judicious blend of healthy eating, balanced nutrition and regular exercise is the key to most successful weight-loss plans. To make your long-term weight loss plan a success, you should follow a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritious foods and engaging in physical activity, alter the way you think about food, and pay attention to reasons why you eat.

You must cut down your calorie intake to lose weight. This is possible without having to eat less. Just substitute the high-calorie ingredients with low-calorie versions of your favorite dishes. The water and fiber present in low-fat fruits and vegetables will add volume to your dishes, so you end up eating the same quantity of food with fewer calories. Try sensible portion sizes and low-fat dairy and meat products.

Apart from helping you lose weight, these products can help to control high blood pressure. Any type of physical activity will boost your physical and mental health and help to keep the extra pounds off. And make it a point to plan your meals and snacks ahead of time.

You will find a number of popular diets which claim great success in helping you lose weight. The Zone Diet highlights lean proteins along with vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats. Starchy carbohydrates are not totally ruled out.

The Pritikin Diet focuses on fruits, vegetables, pasta, oatmeal, soups, salads, and low-fat dairy; limited amounts of low-fat poultry, seafood, and meat; few fatty foods and a limited amount of dry foods. Dr. Ornish’s Eat More, Weigh Less says if you eat fat-free, healthy foods, you can feel full and still lose weight.

The Atkins diet prescribes that you take in 50-55% of your total calories from fat, 30-40% from protein, and 5-15% from carbohydrates. It puts no restrictions on meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, cheese, butter, cream, oil, nuts, some non-starchy vegetables, and artificial sweeteners. The South Beach Diet lays emphasis on a balanced eating plan of ‘good’ carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and ‘good’ unsaturated fats.

When I was buying houses, my most important asset was my family. I was young and married with three little children. I would buy houses and fix them up. I would play my favorite songs on the stereo while I worked. I would work long hours and did most of the work, but it was my combined family that charmed potential sellers.

We didn’t just buy houses and sell them. We would buy houses fix them up some and then rent them out. Selling them would come later. We found other people that had gone before us. They had bought houses and rented them out. These people recognized the effort that it took to own houses, and they appreciated family support.

I don’t know that I ever brought my family along with me as I previewed homes, but I always talked about them and what we did. If people like you and see themselves in your actions, then buying their houses has nothing to do with money.

My wife and I were able to buy houses from several different couples with little down as we purchased houses on Real Estate Contracts. When I say little down, I’m talking about anything from ten dollars to one hundred dollars. Sometimes the first payment would even be several months away, which enabled us to take the house and begin repairs and remodeling. Quite often we would be able to collect two months rent before we ever paid out “real” funds.

All of this was possible because the people liked us AND we established a track record of above board transactions. There are many people out there in the world who try to finagle the best deal to the detriment of the home seller. In the long run that is not a positive approach.

Our story of a loving family and hard workers was a selling point to the people who sold us homes. Even house rentals can take on the status of children. People who own houses tend to feel like mother hens. They want their houses to be given a good home.

Present your story to prospective sellers. Let them know who and what you are. Sincerity is key. Be honest with the sellers. They might have more houses and they might know other people who will sell their properties. If they like you, they will help you. If they don’t like you, then you better let your money do the talking.
