My Road to Direct Sales Success
I always wanted more control over my life and my income but it took becoming a mom for me to make that happen. I had gotten laid off while on maternity leave with my daughter, Jenna. I was a creative director at a successful pharmaceutical marketing company. The company was bought out by a large firm and they decided to let the top management go. Before they let me go, however, they had me train three others to cover my position. They later hired a man do my job at a much larger salary than I had been making. I had been with the company 14 years so, as you can imagine, I was devastated, especially with a newborn baby to take care of.
It was then that I vowed never to go back to corporate life. I wanted more freedom to be with my family, more money and in general more control over my life. If I could find something I loved it would be a wonderful bonus. I decided that starting my own business was the way to achieve all of that.
I entered the direct sales industry after that and tried every company imaginable to get by. I loved being a work-at-home mom and cherished my time with my daughter. I never wanted to leave her!
By December of 2011, I had been successfully working with another direct sales company for over eight years. I had grown my business and done quite well but I was getting burnt out. Then one of my neighbors left a Pink Zebra catalog at my house. I learned that Pink Zebra is a direct sales company specializing in home fragrance and décor that is unique and customizable. My daughter and I were hooked!
After my neighbor left, Jenna and I looked over the catalog. I had set it aside, not knowing that Jenna has circled the opportunity kit, like a kid circling her Christmas gifts. The next day Jenna begged me to buy the kit. The kits were on sale then so I figured for $74 I would get lots of candles and sprinkles. I didn’t really have any intentions of working the business. I was already in direct sales and wanted a break from all I had been doing. I had reached the top level in that business, Executive Director, but I was losing interest in the business.
Encouraged by Jenna, I ordered the Pink Zebra starter kit. While I was waiting for the kit to arrive, I was signing people up! Pink Zebra had a sponsoring incentive that month, and I was ready for a new challenge! Zebra fever was starting to take over!
When the kit did arrive, Jenna helped me get it organized. She took the kit with her on a trip to the coffee shop with her dad. That very day she came back with our first order! To this day that customer remains a client.
It is so very refreshing to be able to include Jenna in this family business. My previous direct sales business did not allow me to do that.
Pink Zebra has opened up so many avenues for me and my family. After seeing how easy it was to sign people on and get orders, I decided to work the business! In 9 short months, I became a Director! In fact, years later my husband decided to join the team and is now a Director with Pink Zebra. This is truly a family business for us.
I have always had an honest desire to make people happy. It’s never been just about the money for me. I love selling this amazing product and I love helping others with this amazing business opportunity. I’m very focused on the people I work with each day. For me, it’s all about an honest product and an honest opportunity to succeed.
I am currently in one of the top positions in Pink Zebra, Executive Director, and hold the title for most awarded in the company out of over 40,000 Consultants nationwide. I get to work with so many amazing men and women and help them build their businesses! I sell a product I love and help others gain control of their lives and feel better about themselves in the process.
To date, I’ve earned an iPad and trips for two to places like Punta Cana, Jamaica, Costa Rica and Panama. I’ve also already earned a trip for two to Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic next year.
I’m still learning and growing in my business. I hope I always will be. That’s the great thing about Pink Zebra. They give you endless opportunities to grow, learn and be recognized for your hard work.
I truly love being a part of Pink Zebra. It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Business Owners’ Love of Work May Hinder Succession Planning
Nationwide Draws Parallel Between Number of Business Owners with No Plans to Retire and Lack of Succession Plan
Over 70 percent of business owners polled in a recent Nationwide survey noted that they are not planning to retire, don’t know when they’ll retire or do not plan to retire for 11 years or more.
A majority (55 percent) of business owners who do not plan to retire report that they love their business too much to do so. Even more Boomers (68 percent) indicate this is a major reason for delaying retirement. The other reasons for postponing retirement include not feeling financially stable enough to retire (24 percent) and not trusting anyone else to run their business (17 percent).
Interestingly, the same survey noted that two in three business owners do not have a succession plan in place, with almost 40 percent of them lacking a clear understanding of their need for one. Counterintuitively, twice as many Boomers as Millennials have not established a business succession plan (74 percent vs 37 percent).
“Many business leaders correlate succession planning with retirement planning,” Kirt Walker, president and COO of Nationwide Financial explained. “If a business owner has no immediate plans to retire, then he or she may not feel a sense of urgency around valuing the business and outlining a plan for successors. Strategically, however, this is a tremendous oversight in protecting the business and partners from an unexpected event impacting key leaders.”
Should a business owner face a serious illness or untimely death, having a business succession plan defined would facilitate a smooth and controlled transition, create certainty about the price, terms and financing of the business and provide a sense of security for surviving family members.
Many business owners are also unaware that most states will use their authority to determine who receives a person’s property if a plan is not in place. Sixty percent of the business owners surveyed were unaware or unsure that, without a defined plan, the state could determine their business’ future.
Getting Started
Business owners without a plan can simplify the planning process by breaking it into five manageable steps working with their financial advisor:
Step 1: Set goals and objectives.
Step 2: Contact your advisor to determine the fair market value of the company through resources like Nationwide’s Business Valuation Tool.
Step 3: Consider viable options for the business and identify how the options would play out in a disability, retirement or death scenario.
Step 4: Develop a plan and execute documents in partnership with an advisor, attorney and accountant.
Step 5: Fund the plan.
“Business owners will have greater leverage and control in determining their legacy if they’ve been proactive in planning before an unforeseen event occurs,” Walker added. “If you’re a business owner and don’t yet have a succession plan in place, the time is now to begin this process.”
Methodology
Nationwide commissioned a 20-minute, online survey among a sample of 1,069 U.S. small business owners. Small business owners are defined as having between 1-299 employees, 18 years or older, and self-reported being a sole or partial owner of their business. The margin of error for this sample is +/-3 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. Conducted by Edelman Intelligence, a full-service consumer research firm, the survey was fielded between May 16-24, 2017. As a member of CASRO in good standing, Edelman Intelligence conducts all research in accordance with Market Research Standards and Guidelines.

From Reader’s Digest at 13 to Building NYC and Beyond
Some of the greatest success stories begin with a person finding their passion during their teenage years. And, so it began with Westchester/NYC contractor, Michael Bordes of Jedson Company, LLC.
Michael learned everything he knows from being a laborer at a very young age.
When he was just a teenager, his father would get a monthly subscription of Reader’s Digest – How-to books – on construction plumbing, electrical work, and various home projects. Upon reading the books, he began helping around the house by completing various projects for his parents. By the time he was 17 years old, he was doing all the repairs on his Mother’s home. As a matter of fact, he was so good at doing the repairs that his mother no longer called anyone else for maintenance; she only wanted Michael to do them, and he did.
Before Michael started his own business, as a 14-year old who was anxious to work and make money Michael would try to get any work he could. He worked shining shoes, delivering newspapers and finally after mustering up some courage he rang the doorbell of a local mason. Michael asked the mason for a job!
The man responded by asking him, “What are you going do?” to which Michael replied by saying he would do anything, and that he just wanted to work. He went to work that weekend, leaving the house early in the morning to work a job in Riverdale, NY with a truck full of men. He had no money, no gloves, no lunch, no skill; just a wanted to work. His job for the day was to mix mortar and bring that mortar to the masons.
Noticing how unprepared he was, one of the older men working with Michael gave him a pair of their gloves. At the end of the day, he mixed so much concrete that he had blisters on hands. That day, he drank water from a garden hose throughout the day and ate food scraps from the guys he was working with. This was another lesson learned that made him realize how determined he was to be successful and to make something of himself.
By his senior year in high school, while the majority of the other teens his age was partying or preparing for college, Michael was preparing for the rest of his life. He started a painting, plastering, and ceramic tile business, and by the time he finished his senior year of high school, he had 6 employees working for him. One day, Michael was taking a dip in his backyard pool while his employees were working. His father, a NYC fireman, came home in the afternoon and saw him sitting in the pool before he went in the house. He came up to him and question what he was doing and why he wasn’t working. He was so angry that he restricted Michael from ever swimming in the pool again. This predicament set the tone for Michaels work ethic and the rest of his life, molding him into the businessman he is today. From that day on, aside from further education, he worked 15-16 hours per day minimum, 7 days, every single week.
After his start during adolescence as a laborer, Michael propelled through the many phases of the construction business. In the early 1980s, Michael completed his formal training in construction management at Williamstown University. He then launched his career as a leader and supervisor, first over independent projects such as building a house for a doctor in the prestigious Wykagyl Estates– a 73 home sub-division located in New Rochelle, New York, which has won the New Rochelle’s Mayor’s Award for Excellence, then eventually over his own team of employees and associates as the President of what is now well known as Jedson Company LLC, which began its broad range of operation in 2004.
Michael’s knowledge and expertise, combined with exceptional directorial and organizational skills, continued to present to him bigger and broader opportunities with more and more satisfied, repeat clients. His buildings projects have taken him all over the world, with the majority regionally located along the East Coast.
Whether a residential home or vast commercial space, Michael and his team specialize in completing projects at or under specified time frames, and it is his aggressive approach and exemplary product that have residential and commercial ventures in the multi-million-dollar range. At each job site, Michael maintains the integrity of a fine craftsman while committing to the business of working within his clients’ budgets, schedules, conception issues and engineering specifications. He has remained connected to the ever-changing and progressive techniques and characteristics that revolutionize building and development, assisting him on his journey building Westchester and the East Coast, one project at a time.

Effectively Promote Your Home Business
Setting up a business working from home is something that has become increasingly popular over recent years. Many people have realized that with the technology available in today’s digital era, working from home has become significantly more viable than it once was. This provides a great way to be your own boss and eliminate the hassle of having to travel to work each day in order to make a living.
Of course, even when you are running your own business from home one of the things you need to do is effectively marketing your goods and services. Without proper marketing, you may struggle to get clients and earn money so you need to form a marketing strategy just as you would if you were starting a business operating from business premises.
What can you do to raise awareness about your home business?
One of the great things about running a business from home is that you generally don’t need a huge amount of money upfront to get started. In fact, for some people who set up as freelancers there is often no cost involved because they already have what they need to get started. However, one of the things that you do need to invest time and money in is marketing your business. The good news is that with the help of experts such as Nathan Yeung from Find Your Audience, effective marketing needn’t be costly or time-consuming. This is because specialist digital marketing companies such as this one focus on promoting your goods, brand, and services online, which is one of the most cost-effective marketing methods to use.
Of course, there are other ways in which you can promote your home business. Simply getting on social media and posting details to your friends and family can help, as they can then share your posts so that more and more people get to know about what you are doing. Also, making sure you have a quality website on which you can offer promotions and deals can help to promote your business and increase customer numbers.
It is also worth using offline methods, particularly if you are running a business that offers services to local people. If this is the case, you can engage in marketing activities such as leafleting homes or putting up posters in the local area so that people get to know about the goods and services that you offer. Leaving business cards and leaflets in relevant venues such as libraries or GP surgeries can also help. In order to work out the most appropriate venues to leave marketing materials, you need to think about your target audience and whether they are likely to use the facilities where you are considering leaving your materials.
The good news is that marketing your home business does not have to be an expensive affair so you can use a combination of different online and offline methods in order to boost the effectiveness of your marketing strategy.

HandsOn Gloves – Hands Down Best Grooming Solution Horses, Dogs and Cats Gravitate Towards
As a kid growing up bathing and grooming horses and dogs, I always wondered why we kept buying the same old curry combs that are hard to hold onto and only marginally work on large flat areas of our animals, bathing mitts that fit no one and never stayed on your hand especially when soapy and wet, along with shedding blades and metal bristle brushes that literally rip hair out including the non-dead hair. My idea was to provide a superior product to replace all of those antiquated grooming tools and devices which performed marginally during grooming, bathing and shedding; products that we had all been stuck with for far too long!
As an adult, I owned a production company that produced movies, TV commercials and documentaries. I got fed up with Hollywood and just wanted to get back to animals and animal people. So I focused on the joining the pet industry and set out to finally make these gloves and change the world of grooming… Four-and-a-half years later, I realized why these gloves had never been on the market, they were really hard to make right. But we did it and I can’t tell you how great it feels to hear people on a daily basis say “Why didn’t I think of that?”, “Where have these gloves been all my life?”
I like to respond to the “Why didn’t I think of that” with I saved you a lot of money. Four and half years of development gets costly. This is the first company I have owned that invents and manufactures products. I have financed all and have been lucky to have had great success out of the gates which has allowed me to bootstrap the growth of HandsOn.
HandsOn Gloves will officially be two years old in February of 2018. We have won awards that range from Best Grooming Product at SuperZoo to Pet Business industry recognition award. We work from home and travel all across the country to Equine and Pet Expos where we sell our gloves and meet new retailers and distributors.
Because of our success, we already have several cheap knockoffs that have hit the market. You know this happens all the time but to experience it for yourself is surreal. I made a video with one of the knockoff gloves that are so sharp it literally shreds an apple. These are not animal people making these cheap knockoffs. They are just in it for a quick buck.
Because of these knockoffs we are racing as fast as we can to be first to market across the board. A few of our latest retails; ACE Hardware and Hollywood Feed just picked us up and we are the top-rated pet product on QVC with only two airings. QVC UK just picked us up on this news as well. I will be back on QVC first part of 2018 and will be traveling to QVC UK for those airings as well. I will be logging the miles.
HandsOn Gloves are carefully designed with hypo-allergenic, bio-friendly components which are clinically proven to be safe for use with humans and animals. These same components are medically approved for manufacturing surgical gloves and tools used for human and animal procedures.
With a flexible, fitted glove on each hand, you get a more thorough, efficient and humane bathing/grooming/shedding experience while naturally bonding with your animal. You will throw all of your old, antiquated tools away!
Having the first ever scrubbing nodules on the palms AND fingers provides a far better deep, thorough clean, from head to toe finally and are the best de-shedders on the market. Also, hair does not stick to the HandsOn Gloves like other grooming aids; just a simple flick of the wrist and the hair instantly releases so you can go right back to caring for your animal.
The textured surface and flexibility of our gloves allow you to better massage and improve circulation while distributing natural oils and promoting a healthier skin and coat.
Legs, faces, ears and tight body contours are no problem for HandsOn Gloves! Our design is superior for delicate grooming as well; like ligament and tendon groves on canons and hocks that until now have always been the hardest to clean.
With the close tactile touch of your hands, examining your animals for cuts, scrapes, welts or bruises is a much easier and more thorough process than using a clunky curry comb, brush or any object between you and your animal; all while providing an unprecedented connection between you and your pets.
The flexibility of the gloves also allows you to handle lead ropes, leashes, shampoo bottles, or anything else you need while grooming or bathing without removing your gloves. Try that with the traditional mitt or curry comb. Plus, your hands and fingernails stay clean!
The Gross Factor
Does your dog, horse or show cow ever show up with manure stains or worse all over them? Does your cat even know what they just rolled in? Ours do and they love it! Having your gloves on while cleaning up these fun times is more bearable for the human and leaves you and your animals much cleaner.
The Animal Factor
Dogs and cats have sensitive skin, horses can be even more sensitive. They can all feel gnats and flies land on them, so what do you think shedding blades, hacksaw blades, wire bristle brushes and all other antiquated grooming devices we have been using for far too long feel like? Run one of those down your arm, leg or scalp. These devices literally rip the hair out and you can see how uncomfortable the animals are in their demeanor. Their heads are up, their bodies are tense, they just want to get away but they put up with it because they are so devoted to us.
The HandsOn® Gloves will not rip hair out. Finally having your fingers in the action allows you to reach all the way through their coat or coats, down to the skin and massage the dead hair, dander and grime out all over your animal’s body, not just in the big, flat areas the other devices are only effective in. Immediately you will see your animals gravitate to the gloves, wanting more. Their heads drop, they lick their lips and their entire bodies relax and are open to this petting, massage session.
The Human Factor
From wounded Vets all the way to people with arthritis, MS, Autism and many other disabilities the gloves are giving back the ability to groom their animals again and for some the first ever opportunity to groom in their lives. Not having to maintain a grip on a grooming device allows these people to do what they love and take care of the animals in their lives in a way that has been impossible to date.
The bond we get from our animals when they are happy and want more loving is immeasurable for all of us. Our HandsOn® team is a community who believe that family and animals come first.
We are animal people committed to developing superior products to share with others who ride, train, ranch, work outdoors, compete at all levels and simply love spending time with their pets.
HandsOn® Gloves are a revolutionary concept that reaches far beyond the traditional curry combs, mitts, scrubbers and shedders on the market today. See for yourself why the All-In-One Shedding/Bathing/Grooming Gloves are the rave and are outperforming all other products across the board.

The Psychology Behind the Perfect Pitch
If you are running a certain type of business from your home, you might be reliant on occasional stretches working for certain clients. Or you might need to cultivate clients who come to you regularly for your goods or services. In either case, you will likely have to make a pitch to these clients to first secure their business. This is a very underrated part of running a home business that many people neglect to learn or perfect before they embark upon their endeavor. The only way your business can thrive is if you have a steady stream of clients, ideally ones who can provide repeat business. That can only occur if you know how to convince them in the first place.
While there is no exact way to conduct a pitch that will guarantee success, and it’s possible even a perfect pitch might not do the trick if circumstances don’t allow it, there are still techniques available to you so that you can make a pitch and sway a client who might be on the edge in terms of their decision. You have to first do the proper homework for your pitch, which includes any paperwork or media you might require for your presentation and research you need to do to know the subject of the pitch inside and out. Once you have that squared away, there are some surefire ways to help you make a pitch that’s persuasive and potent.
If you’re having a hard time convincing customers and business has been a bit slow, perhaps some excellent investments in the newest technology can ease the blow. Use these strategies, however, and you might not need to worry when it comes to that all-important client pitch.
Convince Yourself First
One thing that will sink you immediately in a pitch is if you don’t believe that you can pull it off. A client will sense this lack of confidence in no time and will probably start inching out the door. You have to believe that yours is the best choice for this person before you can possibly convey that to them.
Stay Positive
If you spend the whole time allotted for your pitch running down your possible competition, it’s likely that you’ll seem petty. If anything, speak of them with respect. The majority of your pitch should be about touting what you have to offer in a positive manner. After all, the client is there to hear from you, not your market competitors.
Eager But Not Desperate
Striking the right balance in your pitch is a subtle skill that is nonetheless absolutely crucial. You want to seem enthusiastic about the job but not overly so. By the same token, you don’t want to play it so cool that you come off as uninterested. When in doubt, be sincere about your desire for the job, and the client will appreciate it.
The only way to get really good at making pitches is to practice them beforehand. Being prepared will breed confidence in your ability to think on your feet so that, should the client throw something unexpected at you, you’ll be ready for it.

Trump Didn’t Bother to Say What Happened to the Biological Mother in His Cop Adoption Anecdote
Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address was stuffed with inspiring anecdotes, mostly about little boys, flags, military personnel, MS-13—standard State of the Union stuff. And then there was the very bizarre story that, if you happened to be only half-listening, kind of sounded like it glorified a police officer for stealing somebody’s baby.

Forget About It
In his first State of the Union address, President Trump called on Congress to pass two major pieces of bipartisan legislation this year: an immigration bill and an infrastructure bill. The immigration legislation was the same proposal from last week that has already been left for dead on Capitol Hill, and the infrastructure concept he laid out has been consistently trashed by Democrats since his campaign first introduced it in 2016. Trump called for bipartisanship, but there were no winks nor nods to indicate to Democrats that he was willing to budge from his already-known positions.

State Actors
Donald Trump’s first State of the Union was sold as an exercise in “unity,” one in which the president would attempt to bring Americans together under shared ideals and common goals. “Tonight, I call upon on all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people,” Trump said at the start of his address. His conclusion, too, hit this note: “We are a people whose heroes live not only in the past, but all around us, defending hope, pride, and the American way.”

What Twitter Pundits Are Saying About the 2018 State of the Union
President Donald Trump is set to deliver his first State of the Union address Tuesday night. Philip Bump of the Washington Post has already prewritten most of what will get posted on Twitter tonight. But in case you would like to see it spewed out in real time, here are pundits’ and politicos’ live tweets, drawn from a list of top accounts curated by Slate. Those who lean liberal are on the left; those who lean conservative are on the right. Enjoy the instant spin.

The Trump Test
In his first State of the Union address, Donald Trump is almost certain to say that the state of our union is strong. But the truth is that, thanks in part to his White House and its enablers, the United States is undergoing an unprecedented stress test of its democratic institutions. The president and his allies in the Republican Party are working together to delegitimize federal law enforcement and purge those officials not explicitly loyal to Trump, with the aim of disrupting an investigation into Trump’s campaign, financial dealings, and associations with Russian interests. Despite what the president might say Tuesday night, American democracy looks more fragile than it has at any time since Trump was elected.
from Slate Articles http://ift.tt/2BFiqgc
Defending the Indefensible
How far will the Republican Party go to defend Donald Trump? That’s an open question as he accumulates power and insulates himself from accountability. In recent days, we’ve learned that last year, Trump didn’t just fire FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the Russia investigation. Trump also told White House Counsel Don McGahn, a month later, to get rid of Robert Mueller, the special counsel who had been appointed to look into Comey’s firing and carry on the Russia investigation. Mueller is still in his job only because McGahn refused.

The first reactions for 'Black Panther' are in, and yes, you can believe the hype

The hype around Black Panther was certainly palpable.
It already has the biggest pre-sale numbers for a Marvel movie, and even Lupita Nyong'o — who plays Nakia in the film — struggled to get tickets for the opening night.
Following the global premiere, press were able to share their initial thoughts on the movie on social media from 1 a.m. ET Tuesday. And fortunately, it looks like we can all truly believe in the excitement.
As Mashable's movie reporter Angie Han wrote on Twitter:
#BlackPanther: I never wanted this movie to end, and as soon as it did I wanted to go back. Solid action, smart story, tons of personality. Shuri is my new fave, Nakia is everything, Killmonger is incredible, T'Challa deserves to rule the MCU. Coogler has done it again. đŸ’œđŸ–¤đŸ’™ pic.twitter.com/t9gG3DLuCL

Uber is set to meet a familiar foe Down Under.
For the first time, ride-hailing giant Ola is setting up outside of India. The company said it plans to launch in Australia in early 2018, and is currently signing up drivers in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
The latest Uber challenger follows in the footsteps of Estonian ride-hailing company Taxify, which launched in Sydney last December, and recently began operations in Melbourne.
On its website, Ola said it will initially charge a 7.5 percent commission from drivers. For the time being, it's considerably lower than Taxify's 15 percent, and Uber, which is around 25 percent. Ola is yet to reveal its entire fare structure in Australia. Read more...

Two cops from Toronto got themselves in a batch of trouble on Sunday when they allegedly ate some marijuana edibles while on duty, got really stoned, and were forced to call for help.
The CBC reports that the two officers, who are part of 13 Division, have been suspended pending an investigation. Over the weekend, the Toronto police raided a pot dispensary, which is apparently where the cops copped the edibles.
FYI, folks: Ingesting marijuana is not the same as smoking or vaporizing marijuana. Eating pot will get you WAY more stoned. Professionals suggest waiting a solid two hours after ingesting edibles before taking more, because the onset of effects can be quite slow. Read more...

Someone is already trying to stop sales of Elon Musk's flamethrower

Elon Musk's plan to sell Boring Company branded flamethrowers is certainly a fantastic bit of marketing, and it's no wonder pre-sales are on fire.
While Musk has made assurances that the flamethrower will meet national guidelines by emitting a flame less than 10 feet, one Californian assemblyman wants to put an end to the idea for good.
Democrat Miguel Santiago announced Monday he will introduce legislation aimed at blocking the sale of the $500 flamethrower, in the state of California at least.
"I honestly thought it was a joke when the article was read to me — while I was sitting in Los Angeles traffic," Santiago said in a statement on Twitter. Read more...
