Visualize It. Believe It.Submitted by Tricia Carrasco, Senior Division (Sawyer organization)Prior to February’s Convention in Las Vegas, I stressed to my team members just how important it was toattend the event. As a Division manager, I felt it was my responsibility to guide them. I shared with themwhat my experience was when I attended my first convention in 2008. I remember thinking “Wow!”… all theexcitement, enthusiasm and energy… and all those beautiful ladies wearing all that extraordinary BLING! Iwanted everyone to go and I assured them that they would not regret making the investment in themselves.Two of my ‘stars’ were able to make it; and, as it turned out, I’m sure they are glad they went!I knew that the Convention was going to be exciting, fun and motivating; I just did not know to what extent!!(Park Lane is always full of ‘surprises’!) On Friday morning I attended a meeting that was for the Executives.They explained that Division managers who were excelling had been specially selected to be invited guestsat the meeting. I was so floored with excitement over all that was being said that I couldn’t wait to replayeverything in my head and to put it all down on paper!What I heard blew me away! I knew instantly that there was no way I would miss out on this. No way that I would not follow through! Notonly was there a new trip contest to be announced later that night, but ANOTHER trip… a weekend in Beverly Hills… was also in the plan!We were introduced to a new program, the “Leadership Explosion 2010” - the “5 & 1” program. I knew then and there that I simply had toearn this weekend getaway to Beverly Hills! First, I rallied up my ladies there at convention and then I text-messaged my team back homein Texas. I wanted everyone to feel the excitement that I was feeling! Next, I wrote down all my recruit prospects and the names of everyone of my team members and their possible recruits as well. I made a list of who I thought would be promoting to Branch and who I thoughtwould be a good candidate to develop toward an Area promotion.I knew what I had to do; Trust God, have faith, and believe in myself. With this in mind I set a goal. I knew I had to recruit 3 personal recruitsso that was a must. I knew as a team we needed to have 6 new team members. I knew 15 personal shows had to happen. And I had topromote two people to Branch and then to Area! This all had to happen in the 1st segment then I knew I had to repeat it in the 2nd segment.I have to confess I was restless as the weekend started winding down because I was so anxious to get home and put all my excitement intoaction. By the time I returned home I had my TO-DO LIST all ready to start following through; and I did just that! I personally recruited 2,held my shows and energized my team; it was Game On! The month of February, we recruited seven new people to our team, did fairlywell on sales, and I promoted two of my personal Fashion Directors to Branch.In March, my team and I were all still very excited and very focused on Beverly Hills the 5 & 1 Program. We worked week-by-week on ourgoal. One of my recruits and I earned the trip to Paris! Because we had sent in most of our sales early in the month, I did not realize washow close I was to earning the promotion to Sr. Division! I had stayed so completely focused on qualifying for the new contests of BeverlyHills and Aruba, and on helping promote other team members that I failed to keep track of my own personal and group sales for the month.I discovered that the program Jewels by Park Lane offers us is incredible! It’s all here ladies. Just follow the plan. Wait till you see theseresults…By following the “Leadership Explosion” and simply following the course laid out for you, you all can multiply your business overnight! Inthe month of March, I went on to sponsor one more personal recruit, I held my shows, and promoted my two Branches to Area. And, asa TEAM, we recruited 18 new members, we had 10 promotions: 5 promoted to Branch, 3 promoted to Area, 1 to Division and I promotedto Senior Division! Yeah!!! We closed out our month of March with over $70,000 net & non and a huge head start for TPW and the monthof April!Can this Beverly Hills getaway be accomplished? Yes it can! And, I hope to see the contest repeated after the next Convention! I knowfirsthand how it has changed my team, as well as others. Trust Park Lane to guide you; embrace all that they offer and it will lead you toyour goal.6 The Network
