Summer Thirstquencher Giveaway!

Yay for you! My first ever giveaway! I have been thinking about ways to share what amazing products Shelf Reliance has to offer. How can I share them with more of you? This is what has hatched in my featherbrain:

I started buying these nifty little personal portable water filtration bottles, to give to all my kids this Christmas(not the last one, the next one, silly!) They are made by Nalgene and they have a little filter inside. So you can put questionable water in, and have pure, sweet, safe water coming out. It holds about 20 oz., treats up to 30 gallons of H20 (approximately 200 refills) and removes germs that cause Giardia (bad, bad, very bad!) and Cryptosporidium cysts ((shiver)).

So what's the giveaway, do you HAVE to ask? One of these here bottles is the giveaway and will be given to one lucky follower of Eat To Live! How do I enter? Easy. Become a follower of my blog, post a comment to introduce yourself, check out my website at DorieSmith.shelfreliance.com (soon to be changed to doriestore.shelfreliance.com), and wait til the end of the month for your notification from me that the stars aligned for you!!

With summer hopefully arriving soon (fingers crossed here on the coast of Oregon), you will need to stay hydrated! But even with the excess rain we're all getting, some murky stream could still provide you with some fresh clean water. June 1 is only a couple days away. Ready...set....

GO!

MIND CONTROL

Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like this? This picture looks like joy, excitement, anticipation, success. In short, positive thinking. This is how I used to wake up every morning when I was young! Yay! The sun is up! Yay! It's raining! Yay, whatever.

Positivity is attractive and I don't mean that in a physical, vain way. I mean it in a magnetic way. What you think about you bring about, so I've heard. So I have to tell you about what happened this month in my business and what I brought about.

Last month was INCREDIBLE! Lot's of activity and sales and a nice commission check that from day one I had set my goal to achieve. THEN I heard myself say (and I told myself inside my head to bite my tongue but I didn't) that I had not had one cancelled party or one party of no sales. And it's true, because up until then I didn't! Oh smug me. Pride goeth before a fall...

So now what do you think has happened? Yep, for the first time in 5 months I have had 4 cancelled or postponed parties and one with no sales and one with no guests showing up. I know, I know. It happens. I'm just trying to make a correlation between my own cause and effect. You see, in my mind up until now, I was leaning forward with my business, focused, blinders on. Determined, unwavering, positive. I could feel it in my head even!

Until I broke that sales record last month and then sorta let go. And said those boastful words.

So I am 6 days from the end of the month. I have achieved my personal sales goal to maintain my rank as a Director. And my team is beginning to take off. We are about $3000 from my team sales goal. Can I regain my positive, forward momentum and overcome the setbacks in time?

I will tell you in 6 days if the power of positive thinking has been reactivated in my mind and I have overcome the shackles of doubt.

My mantra this year has been 'Be of good cheer'. I say it everyday except the last couple weeks. Point taken.

So now it's time to forget myself and go to work!

Lots of my friends have purchased more than one. They're buying them for birthday and Christmas gifts for their kids to keep in the trunk of their car. I wouldn't wait though. Disasters sure don't.

Somebody Pinch Me

Well, it has been a while hasn't it? Just a wee bit of time but I have been so busy. So so busy! After bringing a record personal sales month to a close, I took some time off to visit some favorite people in the Seattle area for a week. It was a mini vacation and well appreciated! I even managed to squeeze in a party with one of my sisters-in-law. It was swell.

Then on the way back home, enjoying the best strawberry milkshake I have ever had in the world (Burgerville in Woodland, WA)(yummmmmm), I received a very surprising call from the CEO of Shelf Reliance, Steve Palmer inviting me to speak at the upcoming corporate training meeting in Salem, Oregon May 12th!! Okay that's only 2 days away but what could I say? No? Of course I would say yes! Yes, yes, yes! I will tell about my personal experience with this amazing company. I will share how it has been overwhelmingly accepted by everyone I've talked to. I will mention that my party sales average over $1200 and that my commission quadrupled from March to April! I will share that Thrive foods are the fast food of the food storage industry and that the easy preparation, the delicious taste and the nutrition have made my life as chief cook and bottle washer, infinitely more simple! I know, I know. I end every sentence with an exclamation point!! If you were talking to me face to face you would hear the excitement in my voice and say that only an exclamation point will do! (there's another one)

Sorry I was gone for a moment. I had a stranger call me to order $100 worth of food. I love this business!
