My "WHY"...

So I've already told you what I do for work, besides being a single Mom.....which is CLEARLY more challenging than any job.  EVER.  Especially if you have a teenager.  A boy teenager.  Things can get a little stressful, however, I take that all in stride and have the up most confidence in how I raised my son, so I'm not truly WORRIED.

Let's get down to business, Scentsy Family.  Direct Sales.  It's a business.  It's NOT some sort of pyramid scheme, it's NOT something that you have to dish out money for, it's NOT one of those things that you have to be at the top of the ladder to MAKE MONEY.  No lie.  Believe me, as you get to know me through this blog, you will understand that I don't lie.  I'm just to capable of it, plus it pisses me off.  So when I say "No lie", I mean it.

I joined Scentsy in the spur of the moment....no research (except for what I read on the website) and honestly had never even laid eyes on one.

I knew it was a "Wickless Candle" however, I didn't know what that meant.  I was, at that point, a "Yankee" addict, and had over 30 candles in my VERY small condo.  Yup.  Addict.  So I wasn't "Sold" on the whole "Scentsy" thing.  Until......the UPS guy showed up.....I opened the box.....put the light bulb in, put the dish on top, broke off one cube of wax, and plugged it in.....THEN I was sold.  In love.  That was IT for me.  I threw away 30 candles.  JUST LIKE THAT!  Dumped those UGLY, dangerous ickky things right into the trash.  They had marked my walls FULL of soot, my ceiling looked NASTY, and I don't want to even IMAGINE what the inside of my lungs looked like after washing and re-painting everything.  Yuck.  The Scentsy warmer, was SO different.  It was BEAUTIFUL to look at.....it wasn't HOT, it wasn't going to make nasty marks on my walls or ceilings, it was just what I was looking for, without knowing I was looking.

From there, it's been an amazing experience for me.  I mean, I had worked for other DS companies before, for years, but NEVER had as much fun, and unbelievable experiences as I have had with Scentsy.  I have an amazing team, who you have heard me mention before.  I mean, there really isn't a way to put into words how inspiring they ALL are.  Everyone has a story, and some are truly heartbreaking.  Some are "normal" and just want to own their own businesses, but every single one of them, has a "WHY".  Your "WHY" is why you joined, why you want to keep going with your business, and WHY you will become successful!  You will, in the future, hear me talk about their whys.....but I truly only know MINE.

My "why" started when I ordered my "starter kit"......and when I opened that box.....smelled all of the wax samples that come with the kit, and started thinking about HOW I would do this.  HOW could I become successful at selling a product that I love, and help others to understand how awesome it truly is.

The only way, as far as I'm concerned, is to show people my passion for Scentsy.  MY why comes into play, yes, however, I don't tell my story, to everyone I meet.  Although I do tell my story on my website, and I do periodically update it....but I always ask myself, "Why do I stay with Scentsy?  Why do I love it SO much?"  I could sit here and tell you all of my reasons, but ONE is a huge thing to me.  One reason is why I stay, and one of the most important reasons why I stay.  Family.  I could go into all of the reasons why I need a sense of "Family" in my life.  Or why I don't have a big family.  It's Tyler, my Dad, his wife, Donna, my boyfriend, Mike, and his son Jack.  That's my family.  BUT, now that I have Scentsy, I have extended family ALL over the world.  Yes, I said WORLD!  When stuff happens, and I'm soooooo stressed out, like I want to punch something, my Scentsy family is ALWAYS there to help lift me up, and make things seem so much easier.  I can pick up the phone, call ANY of them, and know that no matter what, they will listen, or offer advice, if that's what I need.  I do the same for them too, that's what family IS.  Unconditional.  Love.  AMAZING people, HUGE opportunities.  I can't, nor will I EVER turn my back on Scentsy.  Ever.  I am where I'm supposed to be.  I love what I do, and love who I do it WITH.  Scentsy rocks....and so do all of the people within Scentsy.  If there was ever any doubt.....on if YOU could become successful doing Scentsy, now you know.....the answer to that is NO.  :)

Okay, I could go ON AND ON AND ON about Scensty and why I love it SO much, but I will save that for another day......today, I am grateful for my life, my job, and my Scentsy Family.  <3
