2008 is going to be Great!
Welcome to the
Home & Garden Party family, and the wonderful world of party plan!!
As a new member
of the Garden of Roses team of Designers you are about to embark on a
fabulous journey, filled with excitement, achievement and personal growth
with one of the very best direct sales companies. H&GP is exploding with new
growth and I’m so glad you will be part of the excitement!
You will meet new friends and establish relationships
with people whom you would never have met otherwise . . . people who will
enrich and enhance your life!
You will also learn much about yourself on this
marvelous journey. You’ll learn how to set goals and create good habit
patterns, as well as accomplish things you never thought possible.
This business attracts many different people for many
different reasons. Some will join for additional income; some will be
attracted by our opportunities to try their hand at owning their own
business. Others will be drawn to the friendships; to acquire our product
they love at a discounted price; or to increase their self confidence and
personal growth.
One of the things that also attracts new Designers and
Fundraising Representatives to this industry is the desire to spend more
time with their families and be home with their children. Because of this
fact, I have often equated starting a new business with that of having and
raising a child. This analogy has helped so many new designers as they begin
their journey, and it is my privilege to share it with you now.
"Starting a business is much like having and raising a
child. During those first months, you expend unlimited energy because it
does nothing on its own; its very existence is entirely dependent upon your
love, care and nurturing. You willingly dedicate almost 24 hours a day to
its development, growth and direction. This is also the time that it becomes
more coordinated and self-assured, as it begins to build strength and
confidence in its abilities.
"After the first year, its growth pattern becomes more
dramatic, and you begin to realize the fruits of your labor, as it continues
to grow and strengthen. It begins to stand on its own. What was once wobbly
and uncertain now begins to take its first steps without your assistance.
"It also becomes a much better communicator and begins
to form relationships with others. You begin to look back and reflect on the
many changes that have taken place and realize how quickly time has passed.
"It isn’t until about the age of three that things
become a little easier or start to run a bit more smoothly. Your 'new baby'
begins to form its own personality and you continue to help lay the
foundation upon which it will build its lifelong success. It continues to
develop, grow and profit from your guidance and support.
"I’ve heard it said that it takes at least three years
before a business really takes off; it’s easy to understand why. A new
business needs time to grow and mature, to get on its feet and build the
foundation that is necessary to expand and develop into a thriving
enterprise.
"Just as raising a child takes time, energy, patience,
care perseverance, sacrifice and money . . . so does building a business.
And as in raising children, every ounce of energy, love and dedication comes
back in the form of pride and satisfaction in a job well done."
I wish you the best of success in your new business.
You will have the support of one of the most successful teams in our company
and we will be walking with you every step of the way along your journey to
success!
Stay patient, positive, and focused my new friend
because great things are in your future!
