Nope, not Santa! YEP, this little feathered fellow came on down the chimney and made his way around the den. Thank goodness nothing was seriously destroyed. Have you ever??

It's been 6 mos since I announced that I started a NEW business!! At the time, I was thinking....am I crazy? Do I have the time? Do I really need the money??? Many of my blog-followers have asked me over the last few months how it is going?? And now, I'm so excited to share what has happened since I started in January!!
What if we had been an initial investor with Proactiv Solution when it came out in the 1980s???? and WHAT IF I was able to profit off of just a LITTLE of their exploding skincare line??? But...back then, it wasn't even an option b/c Proactiv was "launched" only thru infomercials. That's how the company made money - thru infomercials. We've all watched it over the years and NOW celebrities like Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry are users and spokespeople for Proactiv!!!!
Rodan & Fields came out with a NEW line of skincare - for Anti-Aging and Sundamage - and it was in high-end department stores from 2001-2007...and it was the #1 selling product line in Nordstroms. In 2008, the doctors said, what if we brought dermatology to the masses???? There isn't a Nordstroms in or Greenwood, Mississippi or Fairhope, AL!! So....that's when they decided to enter Direct Sales and use consultants around the country to promote these amazing products!! The best part?? They didn't have to do ANY advertising!! Beauty Editors found them!! Allure Magazine, Lucky Magazine, the Today Show.....all FREE kudos to R&F new products!! Unsolicited advertisement!!! Isn't that the best kind??? Since R&F was launched into Direct Sales in 2008, the company has grown 800%!!!!! Think they made the right move??? So, I'm not waiting to ask myself WHAT IF I had become an initial investor in R&F this time!! I invested. I produced. I profit!!!!!
So, since January, I am LOVING this "job". I still work full time for now in the schools and still prn for local home health agencies but can still work this job in and be very successful at it I might add. I am currently a Level V consultant and have 8 Executive Consultants activley under me at this time!! And my paychecks have increased each month since I started!! AND My team is continuing to grow.

I am so proud of everyone and even my personal customers are so supportive and wonderful. I love watching my team's paychecks grow too - and help people quit their jobs that they've hated for years and stay home with their kids - or help out with household bills - or pay for a much-needed trip away with the husband!! My "job" has been everything I wanted it to be when I signed on. I don't work HARD. I work SMART. And my "work" involves having coffee/lunch/dinner with friends and catching up with old buddies. Can you even consider that work?

So.....I don't have to ask myself "What If" anymore. I'm asking "When"? And btw - our company is about to go GLOBAL/INTERNATIONAL!!! Can you imagine where my team can grow then??????? So if you are reading this and want to ask me more questions about it....I'm an open book!! Contact me!! :)

Piano recital 2011

Floyd and Anne Craig take piano from Janice Shanks who is an absolutely wonderful piano teacher. They are able to take at school which is an added plus. Janice usually gets her students to basically "dress the part" of their particular pieces. Floyd's was "El Torrito" and Anne Craig's was "I've Got Music"....hense the specific costumes. We were very proud of each of them.

With Cole and Graydon

On our way to gym recital! Anne Craig did a great job and it's always fun to watch her do her many activites. We are very proud of you.

Deer Valley 2011

We are so blessed that Dad and Jane take our family skiing each Spring! It is such a fabulous trip each year and what a wonderful way to really spend time together with siblings and cousins that you don't see but every so often. It's a great time for the Floyd Melton Family and The McLean Trotter Family to reconnect and catch up doing a sport that we have all grown up loving! Thanks again Papa and Jane for a fabulous trip! Can't wait for February 2012!! Cheers!
Let's gear up!
