In September 2010 I was a mom of 3 in a marriage that had been struggling for years with the same things over and over, while i was working a full time job from 10-7, 5 days a week. I was emotionally drained and really had no clue if I was ever going to be happy. I just kept trying to believe that God had bigger plans not really knowing what those were. I decided to join Scentsy under a good friend in October when my husband got a raise we had decided it was best to have me back home. Financially we were going to struggle if I worked (because of childcare) and if I didn’t. if i didn’t. When i started Scentsy I told myself I was not a sales person and I didn’t have any desire to build a team because I wasn’t sure it was even going to work for me. I had my first team members join my team in February and April of 2011. I started doing a local event to help me get out of my comfort zone it did help me some and i found myself getting a little more confident as time went on and my team started to grow all on it’s own.
Fast forward to October 2011 and I had made director I really had no clue what I was doing but I was excited. I couldn’t believe i had made it and really didn’t think I was worthy of being a director because my sales and track record were pretty mediocre. I watched people all around me earn these amazing trips and i was really close but i never truly looked at it without any excuses and said i am going to earn it ,So guess what i never have. Although my confidence was improving my husband was still not too convinced he started to come around as time went by. He would tell me I was wasting my time on Scentsy and that began to wear on my. I started to believe what everyone had been telling me, what I had been telling me, I was not good at sales,etc etc.
January 2013 I was told I had some serious medical conditions (cancer) so i found myself with my 4th child (2 months old) and depressed telling myself there was no way I could ever continue with Scentsy. Then God stepped in, I went to our Spring Sprint in February and i got to meet Heidi and Orville (the owners of Scentsy) I told them about how I was feeling and I had never felt so vulnerable in my life. They were so compassionate and loving. That day I knew there was no way I could ever walk away from something so good and pure in my life. It, at one time in my life, brought value to me and others and I had lost that light. But it was back after that day ! I learned so much that made me think and i decided to take a hard look at my business and I decided it was time to make changes! I was going to have great customer service, I was going to be a great leader, and I was going to go big! In April I had my largest month in sales ever and started booking parties and fundraisers left and right. I finally went to my first reunion (convention) this July and it totally took me to a whole new level! It reassured me of how I will make my goals and I will follow through! My husband is actually discussing joining me in partnership with Scentsy! We have both made the decision to work hard to earn our trip to the Bahama’s and I have a 2 year plan to be a SuperStar Director. You do not have to be great at sales , or know a ton of people when you start but what you must have is the ability to make your own story and show the world you can do it !
