Today is a Great Day!

Go ahead, Say it out loud.

Does it feel "good", or do you find yourself hesitating a bit as you say it?

One of my mentors, Big Al, says:

"People don't have any free will, they just react to the situations around them."

Don't believe this?... think about this.

You, or your spouse go to work today and get a nice big raise! How do you feel?
Happy, Excited, Positive, Optimistic? Of course!

Now.. think of this... You, or your spouse go to work today and the boss tells you you have to work an extra 10 hours a week to keep your job, and they are lowering your pay 10%....
How do you feel now? Angry, frustrated, trapped, depressed? Of course!

See, people are reactive... but if we KNOW THIS, we can CHANGE THIS!

When I was a teen, I was fortunate enough to get involved with a group called Campus Life. They came into the schools and held fun events for teens, geared towards helping them stay out of trouble, build friendships and become grounded in a spritual life. Best thing that ever happened to me!

One thing they talked about that has stuck with me all these years was the concept of FACTS, FAITH, FEELINGS.

We have to keep things in order.. FACTS come first.

FACT: Times are challenging.
FACT: People are looking for ways to make extra money.
FACT: There is no other business around that you can start for just $10, than AVON!

FAITH: I have faith in our Avon opportunity and in the FACT that:

if people like Lisa Wilber, who started out in a trailer park, working at a convenience store, chasing down the guy from the electric company to give him cash so they wouldn?t shut off her lights, can do it...

or people like Sue Mazza, a small town girl who majored in fashion merchandising, who once was $65,000 in debt and now has built a 2 MILLION DOLLAR TEAM, and now enjoys free vacations to places like Cancun and Hawaii, can do it...

or people like Becky and Bob Dorsey, who replaced their income with Avon, and now, still have a thriving business with over $6 MILLION DOLLARS in SALES every year, money that keeps on coming, even after Bob had a headon crash that left him paralyzed for months, can do it...

or people like Sylvia Tamayo, who came here as a single mom from Mexico,without speaking any English, and now has built a 6 figure income with more job security than most CEOs of fortune 5000 companies., can do it...

If every day people like them can do it... You Sure Can TOO!

AND THE FEELINGS?

There is so much negativity in the news today that it?s hard sometimes not to get caught up in it. But, in spite of the media crying, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!",

But there is lots of good news out there, and much of it in our own backyard!

People are cautiously optimistic that change is coming, in our government, in our economy.

There has never been a better time to be with Avon!

Great Products, Great Prices, Great Opportunity!

Suze Orman thinks so! She said: "here has never been a better time to start your own business, and you won' find a better partner than Avon!"

Andrea Jung, Avon CEO, just appeared on Good Morning America, to rave reviews!

If you haven' seen the video yet, check it out at : http://www.abcnews.com/ . Go to the site and search "Avon". You will see 3 of 7 links, including the video link titled "Avon Helps Women in Tough Economic Times", as well as an audio link of an interview.

Be sure to tell everyone you know to go to this link and view the video.
This is an incredible opportunity for you and your business!

So, let's build our business, based on the facts:

We have a great company with products and an opportunity to change your life, for all!

Based on the faith, that If Lisa can do it, and, Becky and Bob Dorsey, Sue Mazza and Sylvia Tamayo, you can too!

Based on the feelings, The "feelings" , well, there's a reason they are last in this little equation.

Feelings are just that, feelings. We can't base our business performance on them.

We all must choose which way we want to feel.. and stick with it.

If you think you can, YOU CAN! And if you let yourself think you can't, well you're probably right there too! Don't go there!

Don't let yourself be swayed by what others say or are doing,

Remember, a BIG SHOT, is just a LITTLE SHOT WHO KEPT ON SHOOTING!

Here's to Your Success!
