The Queen of Cosmetics: Ash Creates an Empire
| |
| As Ash’s sales for Stanley Home Products continued to increase, she began to recruit and train other salespersons to work with her. It was SHP policy that for every person Ash recruited, she would receive a small percentage of their sales revenue. Soon, Ash had over 150 women working for her. However, the success of Ash and her sales team quickly began to worry SHP executives, who promptly moved Ash to Dallas and refused to let her continue receiving commissions from her previous sales recruits. Ash made the move to Dallas but resented SHP for punishing her hard work. |

Three Stages of a Sales Agent
| |
| Sales agents and advisors have a life cycle, similar to that of the life cycle of a franchisee. There's a beginning stage, an intermediate stage, and the final result stage. Most agents and advisors behave in a similar fashion during the first two stages, but their behavior can differ dramatically in the final result stage. But I'm getting ahead of myself… |

You can learn where they're from, what kind of browser they're using, how long they stayed on your site, and a whole lot more.

HOW CAN A LIFE COACH SUPPORT ME IN GETTING WHAT I WANT ???
| |
| What do you want?
What do you really really want?
When was the last time you asked yourself that question?
Most of us are wrapped up in the day to day of our lives, and like a hamster, we run and run as fast as we can, panting and puffing, making a lot of noise running within his wheel, only to come out to have a look around and see that everything is the same, in exactly the same place. Nothing has really changed. From time to time, it is just necessary to stop and ask ourselves, what we want and if we are "running" in the direction of our dreams, and unlike the poor little hamster, going nowhere! |

Conflict Management
| |
| It doesn’t matter what business you’re in or how successfully you think you manage your employees. I guarantee you that at some point in your professional career, you’re going to experience conflict. It might not directly involve you, but if it involves anyone in your company, it’s going to impact you sooner or later. That is why every entrepreneur needs to learn conflict management – and sooner rather than later. |

Painfully Employed: They got it bad and that aint good
| |
| When I was 13, I heard my great aunt say that she purchased an expensive car because she hated her job and needed an incentive to stay. Years later, when I struggled with my own discontent and watched others struggles with theirs, her words resonated with me. I may have been gainfully employed at the time, but I felt painfully employed.
During my struggle, I vacillated between excitement, swinking (not quite swimming, not quite sinking) and painful employment: excited with any new opportunities, swinking when they didn't fulfill my expectations, and painfully employed when I became too comfortable being uncomfortable.
Three words, "comfortable being uncomfortable," and one quote, "if you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favorable," summed up my painful employment. |

Career Bliss: Happily Ever Now What?
| |
| Trying to find the ideal job is like trying to find the ideal mate. Mr. Right may sound good on paper but off of it, his issues coupled with yours may overflow a newsstand. So what do you do?
1) Decide quickly based on the first few meetings that "he's just not that into you" or vice versa and keep looking OR
2) Date him to determine if the good outweighs the bad. If it does, make the most of it. If it doesn't, leave a bit wiser OR 3) Settle into an unsatisfying relationship because you feel it is safer than searching for someone else, or identifying what you want and pursuing it. So you redirect your discontent by focusing on your mate's issues, to avoid focusing on your own...believing that "treading water" in a bad relationship is favorable than swimming towards something better. |

The Angst of Transition: From Your Parent's Home to Your Own
| |
| When I converse with young college alums, we often discuss the life between their parent’s home and their own. Whether the transition is from their parent’s home or from college to the workplace, our talks about handling the angst in transitioning are engaging.
Most of them were told to go to college, major in something they like, and then get the job they would love. Some of them said they fell for it hook, line, and sinker without being prepared for the seeds of discontent. Others said life is what you make it so adjust through the unexpected and learn from it:
•One young grad told me that her physician father refused to pay for her education unless she majored in pre-med. She wanted to choose a business major but he said if she majored in pre-med, she would graduate debt free with a new car |

Are You Truly Content?
| |
| It’s amazing to think that every day millions of people in our country spend their most productive hours at a job they wish they could change. Is this because there are very few jobs that are truly satisfying and rewarding? This is no doubt true in some cases, but I believe many people who are unhappy with their work are also discontent with other areas of their life as well. |
