Taking the Next Step in Your Success Journey!

Have you taken the time to think about what the top six values are that you are living in your life? For me, at this point in my life, my top six are-


  • Legacy

  • Faith

  • Recognition

  • Family

  • Integrity

  • Passion.


Yours may be different. The life that you are living and the choices that you have made are either moving you closer to what you want or away from it. Are your values the same as the ones that you aspire to live? That can be another list all together. This week I would like to select one or two key words that are linked to each of your core values. Then put some emotion into crafting a sentence using each value in how it is important to you. The emotion is what gives it wings to fly. A reason to grow or a reason to strive to attain something.

"As psychologist Viktor Frankl said, 'Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life. Everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he connot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.' Each of us has a purpose for which we were created. Our resposibility-and joy- is to identify it." (From Leadership Promises for Every Day, John C. Maxwell)

I genuinely desire to help to guide you with my roadmap to success. Live the life that you deserve- your very own destiny! Dream Big! See you at the top!

Is Internet Marketing Replacing or Enhancing Face to Face Marketing?

This seems to be a highly debated topic right now so I wanted to jump in and provide a visual that may allow you to decide for yourself. Yesterday, I met with a client of mine and did a face to face makeover using our new mineral products. We took before and after photos for my portfolio. Here is Marie’s photo BEFORE- There is a new feature on my web page that allows you to upload your own “before” photo and then try different colors and even hairstyles! We decided to have a little fun with it. We uploaded Marie’s before shot and then we proceeded to select the same colors that I selected for her to see what it would look like. But we took it a step farther in selecting her a new hairstyle and hair color. Below is her “after photo”- -



I believe that the tools for using the “Virtual Makeover” are fantastic! It can be used for clients that live out of my geographic area, or even for someone who never purchased from me or intends to. The service is free and available to everyone. You get to save your makeover and go back as often as you like and try new things. (I DO NOT GET YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS OR NAME WHEN YOU DO THIS) In my opinion, it enhances face to face marketing. I am still the beauty expert who will suggest colors to try. That is the reason why I do not think that internet marketing can replace that relationship that you build in an actual face to face situation. What do you think? Feel free to comment or experiment with the virtual makeover yourself at my website.
