As I listen to the bubbling of the chicken in the oven and my stomach growling, I begin to list all the things that I'm grateful for in my head. I watch my daughter creatively playing with her Little Pet Shop animals, making them live out their lives of innocence. I dig deep in my heart to promise myself to keep her that way forever. To preserve her childish ways, no matter how silly and inconsequential they may be. At least for now.
I gladly bear the worries of my world, thanking the Lord for my husband and daughter. As cliche as it sounds, I dont know what I would do without them. The selfless acts of my husband would go unnoticed if I didnt have love in my heart for him. He finishes my sentences and my thoughts.
I may complain about the location of our home, the micro-managing of my superiors, the miles I drive daily, the heat I have to bear. But it's all worth it when I hear my daughter reading her books to herself for the first time, and then yell that "She can read!" . It's all worth it when I catch my husband smiling at me for no reason. I force myself to focus on what's important, what's worth thinking and praying about. I now take the burden of the worries of my world, and give my fears to the Lord. Relief sets in as the heavy weight is lifted.
I know others feel the same way, no matter how much I've rambled in those three paragraphs. As I focus on what matters, I forget about all my stresses and focus on my Why. If I don't, that chicken in the oven will only be eaten by myself.
IMAGINE YOU’RE ON A JOB INTERVIEW. YOUR PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER OR HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR ASKS YOU WHAT YOU WANT AS FAR AS COMPENSATION, BONUSES AND PERKS. YOU REPLY:
- First, I would like up to 25% commission on everything I sell and I want to see that percentage get far higher as I improve my team.
- I expect to receive a $600 Car Allowance (and I want that car to be a BMW) as soon as I reach $12,500 in Group Sales.
- I would also like the opportunity to earn free merchandise every month based on my sales with only having 3 customers.
- I expect you to provide me with the very best website and free online training plus leadership training in great places like San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Raleigh, Edmonton, ALL OVER the Country!
- When I bring in and train any new sales people, I deserve to be compensated a percentage of their sales and when they do well, I expect that you reward us both with bonuses.
- I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company.
- When I do well, I expect LOTS of praise and recognition, plus free products, special awards, fabulous trips, and even cash bonuses!!
- I would like my friends and family to work here.
- By the way, I need to set my own schedule and work only when it suits me and my family.
"So… when can I start?" After the person who interviews you recovered from shock, he ROARED with laughter, “Man, you can’t be serious! You’re dreamin’! You’ll never find an opportunity like that ANYWHERE! And if you do…come back and get me cuz’ I want to work with you!”
So he handed him a Business Card and invite them to a Challenge Party…
This was a status post I read on Facebook. I chuckled with amusement, but then I realized, OMGoodness this is the compensation plan for ViSalus independent distributors. How awesome is that?!!!!
