My Story
Our story begins in October 2005. After the birth of our 2nd daughter and resigning from a management position I held for 16 years in the banking industry, I still felt an obligation to help fulfill family finances. Scentsy had this and continues to provide this today. I was invited to a neighbors candle party and being very reluctant to go: I went anyway. The second I stepped in the door and smelt Spiced Orange Harvest warming in the candle warmer (which utilized a 25 watt light bulb) I was sold.
The whole Scentsy concept captured me and was something I wanted to be a part of and share. I signed the very next day, and surprised to learn my consultant number was #166. I never intended to build a team of my own, however, it all began to fall into place and I couldn't help but spread the news of what I had been introduced to, and what I felt was important to share in regards to the safety factors of this fabulous product~ not to mention the wonderful compensation that came with it. In November of 2006, I became a Director with 28 wonderful Wickless Scentsations team members; Scentsy was growing strong.
July 2007, I hit bottom~ life happens. I lost motivation, enthusiasm, and spark. I was ready to give it all up and walk away and leave behind team members, new friends, and my Scentsy business. Convention was just one month away & had canceled my registration 4 times in the past 3 months. It was set in my mind, I was done. I didn't want to hear anything else about it. Then I received a call. A call from a great friend and a very respected individual, he said, "I've heard through the grapevine you're not coming to convention. You need to hear, you need to hear the speakers, you need to be here for your team. You need Scentsy and Dorothy... Scentsy needs you."
I sat down that night and talked to Rick, he said the same, "You need to decide what you want to do. You get off the fence and make this happen, or jump ship and move on~ but you must remember you have 28 people in your organization that you have an obligation to. I know you will do the right thing."
The Convention in August if 2007 changed my life. I came home with more determination than ever. Wickless Scentsations was going to grow~ and grow BIG. I came home with my goals in mind, set them, and I was going to make it happen. November 2007, with 78 team members we advanced to Star Director. Then April 2008, we advanced to Superstar Director ~ 4 months sooner than the goal I had set for myself at convention. In 2009, I also achieved a high honor ranking within the Scentsy Family in which only 50 Independent Consultant earned, Scentsy Family Founding Circle Member.
Scentsy has blessed our lives. My driving force~ the success of each one of our 55,000+ Wickless Scentsations Family members. Without the strength of each one of the leaders within the Wickless Scentsations organization, the team members in each one of their groups, incredible friends I've made within the Scentsy family that continued to support me through my roughest times, and the amazing support of my husband and daughters, I would not be where I am today.
Following the Inspirational Scentsy Philosophy we've learned from past Scentsy conventions, Rick and I implement this into our daily lives-- "Give more than you take." By following this very simple rule within your personal life and your business~ much success will come to you.
Think Big, Grow Big~ Think Small, Grow Small.
What an incredible motivator.
