Comments Off on Is the 21-Day MLM Challenge for YOU?
If you are in the industry of Network Marketing, Multi Level Marketing, (aka MLM) or Direct Sales, THIS will no doubt interest you!
It was created out of a need in business.
Face it, if you’ve been in this industry for a number of years- many- if not most of us know hundreds if not thousands of people.
Things change over the years…. what worked in the 80s, 90’s or even up to 2010 and beyond, may not even be applicable in this industry any more. Or… if they are- they certainly need to be fine tuned.
There are however some basics that never fade with time, and some of the challenges in this course will be included.
Are you looking to create new RESULTS in your business? If so, this 21-Day Challenge may just be what you need. Share it with your TEAM or with friends in other companies. In fact, we just made it an affiliate program so if you are interested in becoming an affiliate, you can share YOUR code and save your team or friends $20 off the cost of the course, AND earn $20!
We know all about ‘challenges’. Take a look around and you’ll see fitness challenges, diet challenges popping up all the time. I have participated in them AND I have also run them, mainly when I was either a personal trainer OR manager of a gym. But I have NEVER seen an MLM challenge, have you?
Skills Training You’ll Learn
A Simple system for Sharing, follow up, to create 10-12 new signups per month, working less than 30 minutes per day
Defining Your 1 approach and 1 close
Accelerated learning
Facebook -Don’t do what everyone else is doing
Using Facebook Live – How being authentic is your winning hand
How to host your own team calls
Wealth Mindset Upgrade
Attracting your Ideal Distributor – If this is not defined, they never show up!
Neuroplasticitiy – the latest science for rewiring your brain
Personality Test – Fun to know how you are in the world, but more important is to quickly identify how your prospect need to hear your message
Your Relationship to Money determines how much you have
Do you know what your Business is? Most people do not
Become an Affiliate and share with others who are in MLM or Direct Sales. This will be generic and not intended for any one company. There will also be NO pitching or promoting within the closed Facebook group.

Have you joined the 21-Day MLM Challenge yet? It begins February 22 and goes for 21 days, through March 14.
This program offers you Challenges every 4 days – Challenges you can APPLY during the 21- Day Challenge and actually GROW your business. As people say, EARN while you LEARN.

Anyone can teach you skills, but if they’re not experienced by you and become a skill by you, then even the best ideas will remain ideas.
To make the shift from ideas to actual results you need to HAVE the experiences that make up that result for you to duplicate that.
Having the experiences is exactly what the 21 Day Challenge is all about!
Do you do better in a group? Love the support from group learning and interacting with others who’s goals are similar?

Comments Off on Who is YOUR Ideal Business Partner & Ideal Customer? (MLM or Other)
Today I was thinking of my ideal Business Partner and Ideal Customer. I made a list, reviewed it twice and then asked if I AM that kind of person. If you have never asked yourself those questions and are in network marketing, give it a try.
So I made my list, reviewed it and evaluated how I measure up…. Ah, a slight reality check. The answer was ‘YES’ in most areas, but not all. So what do I needed to do? Raise MY skill set, my mind set and ‘vibration’ to become the person I’d love to attract. Simple? Not always.
Getting clear on who you want to attract to your business is crucial, otherwise you may end up spending 80% of your time with those who are not actually dedicated to the business. Those people are the ones who will ask questions and waste your time but never be serious about growing the business… but boy do they love the attention they get by asking questions. If you’ve heard of the 80/20% rule, make sure you spend 80% of your time with those who bring you joy and are worthy of your time….AND on your list of ideals.
Personally, I want to work with people I truly like and enjoy being around. That most likely means meeting new people as I may not KNOW these people ‘yet’. In network marketing it is about building a relationship with people -hopefully from ‘now on’, and hopefully a relationship where you remain friends long after one of you decides to do some other business or work with another company…. because let’s face it, things change. I was with a company for over 10 years and there came a time that for my own personal life and goals, I had to move on….so I resigned and joined another company that resonated
business people group talking discussing chat communication social network flat icon design vector illustration
much stronger with what I was looking for. Am I still friends with some of my old team mates, you bet!
Hopefully, for us (Dave and I) at this stage in our career, we seriously plan on being with our current company from NOW ON……Yes, it is our 100% desire to work with and be with our current company through the next 10+ years…..into and past retirement. Pie in the sky thinking? I don’t know. But one thing for sure is we don’t jump from company to company…we look for a HOME. (As I said, the last company we were with over 10 years.)
My 8 TOP qualities I’d like to attract to our business? (grab a paper and pen and write yours too.)
TOP 8 qualities in my my ideal ‘Brand Partner’ or Business associate.
Leader: someone who enjoys the role of leader and possesses, and uses Leadership skills.
Self-Starter: someone who ignites their own inner fire & desire each and every day.
Self-Motivated and Hungry for Success. It’s not just being self-motivated but someone who is HUNGRY for success and contribution…. someone willing to do what it takes…and needs to make it happen.
Integrity: Someone who does what they say they will do. Keeps their word.
Loves the industry of network marketing. Someone who enjoys helping and teaching others.
Positive outlook. Shines with (and sees) positivities.
Coachable and Trainable. The industry changes, has ebbs and flows, as do all company’s with their products and company growth. Being open to learning new ways and implementing new ideas is crucial.
MLM experience. This is certainly not a requirement, but why NOT want someone who has experience and can bring a team of others with them to the business?
We LOVE our Customers: Here are the ideal qualities of my ideal customer.
Follows instructions so they get the best results possible!
Goes on a monthly auto-ship
Can afford the products
Gives us referrals
Calls US, versus us having to call them for follow up.
Who are your ideal business associates and customers? I once had a list of over 25 qualities for business partners and 10 qualities for customers, but have honed it down to the ones above.
If I STOP attracting those people that I desire in my life and into my business, I stop and ask myself why. Often times it just takes me reviewing the list and becoming aware. In no time, those ‘kind of people’ then begin to show up again.
(It becomes obvious for me to evaluate when I begin to attract whiny people who complain about everything and always have excuses or blame others! I quickly take off time, evaluate and get clear before I get back in my business mode, especially into recruiting.) 🙂
If you believe in the law of attraction or vibration you will understand what I mean.
I’d love to see YOUR list and see you attract what you want into your life and business. Let’s manifest together. We’re only an email or phone call away. info@DaveandJoy.com 802-846-7530.
Comments Off on Darlene Carson shares WHY NETWORK MARKETING…
“There has been a lot of discussion as to why folks decide to join network marketing. Most start, it seems, because of the amazing products. Then, in my case, I discovered unwavering integrity of the organization (Corporate leadership) my supportive up-line, and what great teacher/mentors they are. Even with all those great positives, what do most people want to know before signing up with any network marketing company?
Can “I” make money here? I found that I could, do and can make BIG MONEY. Within the first 4 months, I was making more monthly, than I had with my previous company in the previous 4 years.
You are probably asking yourself, “Why would she stay so long in a company where she was earning such a mediocre amount?” To be honest, I was having fun and I never thought I could do better than I was already!
Little did I know what a difference TEAM makes—UP-LINE makes—TEACHING AND TRAINING makes—COMPANY makes—COMPENSATION PLAN makes—RECOGNITION makes, ATTAINABLE BONUSES & TRIPS makes and when it all works together, and I do my part, the checks start to increase—far beyond I could every imagine!
Eleven years ago, my husband suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke that left him permanently disabled. We went from two incomes to NO INCOME overnight! We accrued a great deal of credit card debt just to keep our home and pay bills. That was our financial situation when I joined Tavala.
With each rising rank with Tavala, my checks grew as did my confidence and joy. I was invited to speak on the Corporate calls and share how I was growing my business! Tavala encourages Brand Partners at every level to do and be their best and recognizing achievements, to stimulate growth and enrichment.
Now at my current level of Lifestyle Bonus of $750 (every 4 weeks and on top of bonuses and commissions), I was able to pay off all the credit card bills accrued during that time. With those gone, I was able to put to bed an $18,000 loan we had to take out to make our downstairs bathroom handicap accessible.
With all that behind us, we are rebuilding what catastrophic illness tried (and did, for a time take away)—our financial security! Every month, I add more than $1,000 to our savings account and that scary paycheck to paycheck feeling is finally gone! THAT is what successful network marking, with a prosperous thriving company is like for me!”
Why is it that the numbers in any Network Marketing Company (volume) often start to decrease or get stagnant during the Summer Months?
They certainly don’t have to if you are true to your DMO, Daily Method of Operation. In fact this summer OUR TEAM has decided to make this statement false by continuing to make our business a priority.
Ever realize that some brilliant companies in downtime, when the economy is sluggish, continue to advertise or INCREASE their advertising? They understand. Professionals in network marketing do too and as a result capture a greater share of the market.
Here is the big ‘summer lie:
For some unknown reason, people slowdown in the summer. This is a big mistake that will cost you 90 days this year! (Typically June, July and August or perhaps even September as you try to gain momentum again)
What if we changed that? 2018 can be your life altering year if you don’t buy into the big lie about summer being slower. What IF you realized that our industry (Network Marketing) can actually GROW in the summer because people are more aware of wanting a better lifestyle for them and their families. (i.e. vacations)
You’ve got TWO choices… Which one will you choose?
#1. Begin building momentum in June, escalate it in July and throughout August…. and by September you can hit the ground running. (Typically parents get caught up with school being out in the summer and having limited time, but if you plan accordingly, use your resources (for us one resource is our APP on our phone) and continue to ‘share’ 2 a day, 5 days a week, you can do your business in 10-30 minutes a day! Just schedule your time! It may mean getting up 30 minutes earlier in the day or stay up 30 minutes later – OR simply fit it in the cracks of your every day life.) (Ask us how, info@DaveandJoy.com)
Think about this…. In the summer you are generally more social and meet more people as you are out and about living life. This is an easy time to drum up a conversation by asking THEM questions. Perhaps what you have to offer in your business is their solution to what they’d love MORE of or LESS of.
#2. You can buy into the lie that summer is always a slower time of the year for everyone in network marketing and try to get some of your people back in the groove in September. Good luck, you may be able to reactive and get 1/3-1/2 of your people reactivated and in motion! Luckily, for us with Tavala, our customer base is high and because of products that are universally in demand, volume should not stop dramatically ….even IF people are not actively building the business.
Imagine if you keep things fresh and growing in the summer (It is a season of growth with nature!) by September you’ll be in full force and end up strong by the end of the year.
If you don’t, then the same people who slowed their business in the summer will certainly do the same through the upcoming holidays. Halloween through the New Years.
Simple-Easy to do, and also NOT to do. Lesson…..Keep your business growing through the summer and by September when typically business begins to boom again, YOUR business will be in full throttle.
Tavala is made it through the Formulation stage and is entering Concentration….and soon we will be in Momentum!
What’s the bigger payoff? The bigger payoff is that your team will be grateful, positive and motivated…
This leads to leadership.
What are 5 Characteristics of Great Leaders? How will YOU show up this summer? Will you continue to grow or cruise through like it is a hobby and that you are on holiday?
Whether you are a part time network marketer or a full time professional, we’d love to hear how you handle YOUR summers and business!
Dave and Joy/Global Leaders & Trainers with Tavala
Comments Off on Doing Business with Integrity…..Tavala
Years ago I read a book called “Integrity is Everything”. I agree, this virtue really is…. whether in your every day life or in business.
Dave and I were with a company for over 10 years and when they were out of integrity (by not sharing the truth or keeping their word) there was no way we could stay and promote the company. I remember telling the CEO, a friend, that I simply can not and will not tell someone it’s a great opportunity if it is not.
In December 2016 we resigned from that company and joined Tavala.
#1 Reason was TRUST and INTEGRITY-We needed an opportunity (and products) that we could believe in and ‘work’….. and at a close #2 was the opportunity. We wanted a business where the average person had a good chance to make money and where the leaders could earn the big checks.
You see, you can have a great opportunity and be earning lots of money but if you are in a relationship without trust or integrity, eventually things will fall apart, including your reputation. Some people thought we were crazy to resign but the ‘clear and clean break for us was the only way for us to be in integrity.
Tavala is dedicated to its customers and Brand Partners and promises to always share the TRUTH. If they mess up in any way, they will always admit it and correct it promptly.
Tavala will never talk about, promote or pre-sell a product until it is on the shelf in the warehouse and available. That is HUGE and this makes our business predictable.
Tavala doesn’t charge its brand partners to join Tavala. They honor and listen to the field and really do take the input from people who are actually in the field doing the business.
Tavala has a simple and lucrative compensation plan. You are not required to be on a monthly auto ship to earn income and customers and Brand Partners pay the same low price. This keeps it simple to share.
Tavala is also known as the Transformation Company…transforming lives/ health and wealth. The Mission Statement of Tavala is: Empower the transformation of all people on their journey through life.”
They are methodical in building the company and because they are extremely well funded and things are thought thoroughly, they are just leaving the Formulation Stage and entering the Concentration Stage…..with Momentum being the next Stage to follow.
They listen to the leaders, like Dave and I, and have implemented many of the training ideas we have offered. Dave is working closely with the corporate staff and a handful of other leaders to create the “Tavala Rhythm”, a new duplication system and strategy for brand partners.
It doesn’t stop there….. we have lots more to share, including Tavala bringing opportunity to the world and as of May 24, 2018 Tavala is already being in the following countries. ( Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos, UK, USA, USVI, Vanuatu and Vietnam.)
If you are looking for a company that is poised for strong and consistent growth – a company where integrity and honesty is of utmost importance, we’d love to chat. We’ll be happy to arrange a 3-way call with our CEO, Allen Davis, or do a ‘Zoom’ to make the introduction. You won’t be disappointed.
Become a leader and earn Bonus money every 4 weeks. Use the money however YOU wish. $350-$2000 bonus.
Comments Off on What 83% of Women in Network Marketing do ….
I have been thinking of statistics of WOMEN in NETWORK MARKETING and recently came upon a blog from Mark Januszewski, aka Mark J. or the “Worlds Laziest Networker”, (http://worldslaziestnetworker.com) that I’d like to share parts of. Please feel free to share this blog as well as contact us. We’d love to hear your thoughts and insights. In quotations you’ll see Mark’s comments….with MY comments in blue. By the way, we met Mark J. through his incredible “Go 90 Grow” online course for network marketers several years ago.
(As you’ll see….Network Marketing IS in a WOMEN’s DNA!)
IT’S A PROBLEM
“For some reason guys and MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) companies just don’t get it.
83% of the checks in MLM are cashed by women, according to the DSA.
83%!! (OK so this visual to the left says 82% of women in the US who make $100,000 or more did it through this industry!)
Do guys feel intimidated? Threatened?
You see it with companies all the time…the “Founders” are introduced and with rare exception, four or five guys roll out on stage. (Have you been with a company where this happens on stage? I certainly have!)
The audience goes nuts. I remember sitting there thinking, really, how stupid can we be as a group?
83%!
The world is the same way…since men “took over” in the dark ages….which I could argue we are still in.
Prior to that women were revered above men….and any networker who thinks -instead of copies- figures this out quickly.
See, for 1000s of years, it was “mother earth” …the giver of life…men were the protectors and women were the foundation of life.
And isn’t that what you’re trying to do with your business?
Who is better at growing things than the primary caretaker?
Until some do-gooder group with nothing better to do got laws passed, [don’t ask me why], MLM applications had ‘Occupation” on the application.
# 1 success group? Teachers
# 2 success group? Moms
Let’s face it, between teachers and Moms…. and that’s a lot of women!
MLM is a teaching business and Moms are in the business of teaching their kids life skills on a daily basis.
And they are better at it than men. Period. [don’t sweat this; if I learned how, so can you. HINT: watch the women teach]
How can your new teammates successfully do what needs to be done if they don’t know how?
Differences between Men and Women in this industry! Notice how we differ in communication.
GUYS: This is going to be huge! Go talk to people so you don’t miss out!
GALS: Here’s what we need to do to get you started. [notice the word that is inclusive, “we”]
GUYS: Motivational speeches – do all guys think they are Napoleon Hill or Tony Robbins? LMAO
GALS: Hands on support, simple “show and tell”….just like they do with their kids. I’ll stop here, it’s an endless list….let me get to the meat of the discussion.
DEPTH BUILDS DEPTH
Women have intuitively deeper feelings, more depth…..while guys deny their feelings….. and everybody knows it’s a burning desire that forges authentic commitment, not predictions about the future.
So I always, given the choice, recruited and promoted women into key roles…women crushed the role, guys did not.
And then….just when I thought I had done enough to carry this so simple truth to the MLM community, I was taught yet another priceless lesson…by a woman, of course.
I promise the “Secret” Hill writes about….the key that has opened a life second to none….is stated over and over and over….many ways in this dynamic woman.
Here’s a second promise; until you get that key, no tools, speeches, efforts or seminars will make a difference.
So…yeah, I’m challenging you to view this interview below as many times as it takes….it’s right there, what you are seeking is easily spelled out.
25 minutes will change the lives of the open-minded…..while surfing the web for the magic solution to your business will keep your life the same.
Meet Kimmy Everett Brooke, a woman who Dave and I have actually worked with in the past. Hear what she has to share in her interview with Mark J. I agree with Mark, it really is worth the 25 minutes to view. (OK 27:02 to be exact) Enjoy.
Mark concludes with: It all begins with a burning desire. Feelings are what add the “burn” and without the burn fighting discouragement and small minds becomes the job.
What is YOUR burning desire to create in this lifetime? What drives you? If you have never imagined yourself involved in Network Marketing would you be open to taking a look?
If you are already in the industry are you interested in taking a look with what we are doing/creating? We have everything in place to help the ‘newbie’ as well as the seasoned network marketer enjoy success.
Currently Tavala is ending the first phase of company growth called the FORMULATION phase, and moving into quickly into CONCENTRATION. We believe in 6-9 months we’ll be in the MOMENTUM phase, which is where rapid growth occurs and the big checks are earned.
Thanks to Dave’s close work with the Tavala corporate team, we have a system that is universally known as the TAVALA RHYTHM. To learn more please email us at info@DaveandJoy.com or call 802-846-7530.
What are you looking for MORE in your life? Is it worth exploring? Let’s chat.
Comments Off on What I like Best about Network Marketing…
As I prepare for a Zoom Webinar LIVE today on the topic of Network Marketing I began reflecting on why I love this industry and why it my chosen career path.
If you had asked me ‘WHY NETWORK MARKETING’ several years ago I would have emphasized more on the income that is possible in this industry. Don’t get me wrong -that IS extremely important to me. I do want the “super checks” and residual income. But if I were to prioritize WHY I love the industry of network marketing there are other factors that stand out.
Not necessarily in this exact order, but a top priority in my life is that I love being my own boss and owning my own time schedule. Yes, I have worked jobs where I had a time clock or schedule but I prefer to own my time. This has become even more important now that I have adult children, grandchildren and aging parents. I’m simply unwilling to miss out on significant events in their lives.
Couple on a tropical beach
#1 is TIME FREEDOM : Along with Being My Own Boss means I can work with WHO I want, WHEN I want and HOW I want. I choose to work with people who are positive minded, have high integrity, do what they say they will do and are TEAM players.
Sure, I have been my own boss when I was a personal trainer and transformational life coach, but there was no time building there and if I didn’t ‘work’ I didn’t get paid. Very different!
#2 is network marketing offers me the opportunity to contribute to the lives of others in a positive way. I get to inspire, collaborate, teach, learn/share, and be able to create what I want in my life and for others. Up until 5 years ago my mother made comments that I should have pursued her idea of a dream career for me in teaching/counseling or health. What she didn’t understand about network marketing is daily I teach, coach, counsel and talk about health all while making the difference in the lives of countless people.
Also, if you want to become a professional in network marketing, you truly do need to incorporate those skills as well as aspects of personal development. It’s often said, Network Marketing is personal development or leadership factory ‘disguised’ as a business opportunity.
#3 is I get to work from home, or wherever I am, as long as I have internet service. This means flexibility and I can work in my pajamas or comfy yoga clothes if I
choose. That may not sound important to some people but it is to me.
#4 Lastly, but not less important, is the income we can earn with Network Marketing. If I continued as a personal trainer, life coach or in sales, the likelihood of me earning a 6-figure income would be slim. Now it is my reality AND I plan on being a 7-figure earner in the not so distant future in this industry.
Along with income comes RESIDUAL INCOME. Often when we are traveling or not focused on our business, our checks continue to be deposited into our bank account, and often grow.
Here’s a fun fact. Whatever you earn in network marketing multiply that by 200 and you’ll get the approximate amount of money you’d need in savings to earn that kind of income each month.
Do you know if you are earning $10,000 a month residual income in network marketing that it is equivalent to having a 2 million dollar asset? The likelihood of having $2 Million in savings is remote for most, however earning $10,000 a month may not be…. in other words, it is doable!
Think about it. The other thing I love about network marketing is you can do it VERY part-time or full-time. It is your choice. If you are in network marketing what do YOU like best about your career? If you are not actively with a network marketing company and are interested in joining, please give me a call. I’d love to chat about YOU and what you are looking for. 802-846-7530.
Below is a post off Facebook. Enjoy! Job vs. network marketing….
I went to an #Interview for a #Job👔 yesterday. When the boss asked what I wanted for #Compensation💰 I replied: 1) First I would like commission? ?💲💲 on everything I sell. 2) I would also like the #Opportunity to earn #Free🆓 trips, bonuses paid in full, and lifestyle bonuses starting at $350 every four weeks going up to $2,000 every four weeks. 3) I expect you to provide me with my own #Website💻and provide free online training all over the 🌎. 4) When I bring in any new sales people🙍🏼, I deserve to be compensated💰 a percentage of their sales and the sales of any new people🙋🏼 they bring in. 5) I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company📈. 6) When I do well, I expect lots of #Recognition🎉🎈, and more bonuses💰💲💰. Did I mention all expense paid trips for me and my family? 7) I would like my #Friends👭 and #Family👪 to work here. 8) By the way, I need to set my own #Schedule,📅 and only #Work when it suits me and my family💺. 9) And last, but not least I want to earn awesome gifts like brand new #Apple#IPad#AppleTV #Apple #EarBuds So when can I start????
After the owner recovered from shock⚡, he roared with laughter 😂😂😂😂 “You must be sick in the head🙆🏼, or dreaming😪. You will NEVER🚫find an opportunity like that 🌎ANYWHERE🌎 and if you do, come back and get me, cause I want to work there too” 💁🏼 So I gave him my #Tavala business card & he joined my team 😜!!!!
Comments Off on When I Added JOY My Life Started Working…
I came across a page in an old journal today, something I had written several years ago, and decided to publish it here in a blog. This is after several people on our team asked me “What is your story”? Well, this is not about our company or a personal transformation or a testimonial, but it will give you a glimpse into a little bit about who I am…and why “JOY”.
Ironically on Saturday our book, “In Their Own Words” arrived, all 1500 copies, first edition. It is a book highlighting stories of people on our Tavala team who have overcome ‘something’ worth sharing and how they proceeded to go on to create a new life for themselves. I just LOVE highlighting others successes and shining the spot light on them!
A little about me and how I think….
I believe…… We create daily in all we do, the thoughts we have, the pictures we put in our minds, the words we speak both to ourselves and to others and the people we associate with. Each thought- hopefully creates positive experiences in our lives. I choose to think positive thoughts and associate only with conscious people of high integrity, who are also doing their best to make the world a better place.
It was just a month before my 47th birthday (I’m 61 years old now) that I looked in the mirror and decided I not only desired but deserved more joy in my life. I also wanted to find a business or career I could have the time to enjoy….while rediscovering MY new FOUND JOY.
So what did I do? I ended a home-based career in event planning (For 10 years it had been my dream job but by this time it was something I no longer enjoyed), I moved, changed my last name, began using my middle name JOY, rather than Deborah and lastly I had a small “joy” tattoo put on my body….something to remind me of the emotion of JOY!
This is when I did the following:
I am a connector, a net-worker …. Not so much a network marketer (although I am that now!) but I’ve always enjoyed bringing people together, with ease. I ask “What are you looking for? What makes your heart sing? What are your talents and how can you share them?” and then I put their answers into action.
Do you know that the majority of things people are searching for can be found in this wonderful career or even ‘hobby’ called Network Marketing? (Meeting people, More travel, More income, Opportunity to use your skills and leadership, Opportunity to teach and inspire others, Inspire and Motivate others, Time freedom, Leaving a legacy, More quality family time, etc.)
I remember being told at a very young age that I am a natural ‘connector’. I always wondered what that meant and also how one could make a living (or make a LIFE) ‘connecting’. In my early 30’s I was introduced to network marketing. Connecting with others is something that comes easy and natural and that IS the thread of building a team while working together.
Part of the journey begins with SELF CARE…. And by taking care of ourselves we are then capable to assist and care for the well-being of other people. If you aren’t nurturing yourself, doing what you love and replenishing your ‘energy’ then you won’t be able to be your biggest gift to the world.
Yes, I now go by my middle name “Joy” but I was born Deborah Joy Edgerton. My last name has changed several times throughout my adult journey called LIFE, and today I embrace my newfound freedom of being a powerful woman of 61, who aspires to help, connect, network with and inspire others to live their lives with JOY!
My background?
I have been a personal trainer and transformational life coach, natural body builder, nutrition enthusiast, and a health advocate who happens to share and sell products that transform lives. I get up each and every day hoping to inspire others to both take control of their health and also to discover and create the life that makes their hearts sing.
My greatest joys? Being a mother of two adult children and four granddaughters; a wife to my husband, Dave, who is also my business partner. My life continues to evolve and I am learning daily to live more in the present! Living with gratitude for all things I already have helps attract MORE wonderful things into my life. I believe we manifest things in our lives.
Do you want more JOY in your life? My tag line on my business card used to be “Don’t Postpone Joy“.
Perhaps you are looking to find a business that fits your talents? Something where your talents can shine through? If so let’s chat. My husband Dave and I have a thriving business and are always looking for great people to join our team. Come and grow with us, have fun, share your talents. You’ll be honored, recognized and celebrated!
Perhaps your goal is to find products that will enhance and transform your life for the better. We have those as well…and if we don’t, no worries, I’ll refer you to someone who can help you.
If this has you saying YES, I’d love to connect. You can call me at 802-846-7530, or email me at joyedgerton@gmail.com.
