GUEST: Teri Shardy, Bizy Girl's Candles (Gold Canyon Consultant)

Wow, that was fun! I love talking about Gold Canyon! I wanted to do this now to let you know that the fall and holiday catalog is available so request your copy now. This issue has over 100 pages - our biggest catalog EVER and introduces the new Heritage design (see below).

As a direct sales company, we depend on our friends, acquaintances and customers to help us promote our products. We don't advertise to the masses because we enjoy the relationships built with other consultants and with our customers. And we have a great referral program including our brand new HOST EXCLUSIVE items shown here. Each of these gorgeous holders are available at up to 65% off when you have a showcase in your home.  The most expensive, the Scrolling Stand with Chimney, would retail at $85, but for our partners, it is ONLY $30!!

That special is in edition to the FREE and other discounted items!

In addition to the holiday's coming up soon, we are now in the throes of Fundraising Season! Don't think I get out of it cause Amanda is grown; I have 7 nieces & nephews still in school and sports and scouts... If you know of an organization or group who is looking for a profitable opportunity, give them my information and I would be glad to talk with them about it! (And you'll receive a 'lil something from me for the referral).  

Thanks so much for dropping in. Be sure you don't miss an episode by entering your email address in the box above (be sure to check your spam folder too).  As always, if you or someone you know would like to be featured in an upcoming episode, let me know! I'm always looking for the next BIG star!

GUEST:  MARGIE OVERFIELD, Kneading Care Massage - "Where just a touch can mean so much"

Who doesn't love a massage?  According to Margie's website, some of the benefits of massage include:

• Emotional Balance  * Relaxation  *  Physical Healing  *  Improved Digestion  *  Improved Mobility  *  Pain Relief  *  Detoxification  *  Increased Energy  *  Improved Circulation *   Improved Sleeping Patterns  *  Stress Reduction  *  Increased Productivity 

Margie uses this analogy when describing pain: Pain is like a nagging child. The child keeps tugging on your pant leg and whining and you ignore him - until those whines turn into a full blown screaming tantrum (I know none of your children have ever done this).  If you keep ignoring the symptoms that your body is giving you, it may get to a point that you can't ignore it and you might require more medical attention. We must learn to not ignore those signs and to treat ourselves with the same care we treat others.

Margie also has a team of certified massage therapists who do chair massage at corporate events, bridal showers, girl's night, employee appreciation, etc.

GUEST:  Jackie Brown, Origami Owl

You hear a lot about young people, "kids", today. Mostly about getting into trouble or wasting their lives on Facebook. Stories like these can make you afraid for our future as the saying goes "Our children are our future." Worry no more.  There are young people, like 14-year-old Isabella, who show that the good ol' American spirit is still alive and doing well.


Isabella wanted a car when she turned 16 but wasn't sure where it was going to come from.  That was less than 2 years ago and in June of this year, Isabella turned 16 and had more than enough money to buy a car - a really nice car! All because she started selling jewelry she made to her friends at school and people on her street. The jewelry became so popular she opened her first kiosk inside a mall and has never looked back.

Jackie Brown has that same kind of American spirit and loves retelling her life story through the creation of these timeless time-pieces. It's so easy to showcase your life in different ways every day. Feeling like you need your lovey (pet) with you today for encouragement? How about showing of your child's softball prowess? Fill your Life Locket with the charms that tell your story...and the story is always changing.

GUEST: Gail Norris, Mountainview Music

A dearer soul you will  never meet than Ms. Gail Norris.  And as she said, she is a good teacher!

Gail has done a lot with her music education degree.  She has been teaching private piano lessons for 25  years despite the physical difficulties of having Multiple Sclerosis.  Since being diagnosed as a teenager, she has never let MS stop her and I think she's a good role model  of what the right attitude and determination can get you through.

In addition to her beautiful baby grand piano, she also has a keyboard on which kids can play music with a full orchestra accompaniment.  How exciting for a child to hear their contribution become a part of the whole!

Gail uses a point system to motivate her students. Earn points for practicing, memorizing and other things. When you get 1000 points (easily done every month Gail says), the student gets to choose a piece of music they'd like to learn!  

Her home is located in the Northwest Valley of Phoenix if you are interested in lessons for your child or even your self.  You're never too old to learn a new skill no matter what the old adage about dogs and tricks says! To learn more about Gail, you can check out her website and even her blog! She's pretty hip, huh?!

Marie Clancy - Send Out Cards

-
GUEST: Marie Clancy, Send Out Cards

I met Marie about a year ago (May, 2011) at a premier event. At that time, she was working as a tour bus driver and starting her Send Out Cards business. A few months later, I ran into her at a networking meeting. I was impressed after speaking with her how hard she was working at her new business and that she had already been able to quit her bus driver job. Believe me, that's dedication and hardwork.

Marie told me about how easy it is to use Send Out Cards for personal use but what really sold me was the opportunity to connect with my customers on this very personal level.  I always feel so special when I receive a card in the mail. I am sure it goes back to when I was growing up and I would get birthday cards from relatives - some WITH money!  Now I can pass that feeling on to my customers letting them know I was thinking of them, that I remembered their birthday or anniversary, congratulating them on a new baby or grandbaby or new job or house, just so many opportunities!

Marie is a sweetheart.  She is very soft spoken but she is a dynamo when it comes to business. She will help you set up your account and teach you how to use it. She helped me set up my first campaign. A campaign is  an automation of connecting with customers. Choose a card that says "Thank You" or "Welcome", personalize it, schedule when you want to send it, how many people you want to send it to.  Choose another card that says "Thinking of You" or "Special News", and schedule it for 2 months from the first card. Both cards will be sent out automatically on the days you scheduled it for. Simplify your holiday cards, automatically send out birthday cards, make calendars, newsletters and so much more!

There's so much you CAN do, but the first thing you SHOULD do, is go to Marie's Website and send out a free card; see how easy it is, how many card choices you have, etc.

Danny Cabrera, Now Voyager Hypnotherapy

Danny opened his own practice in 1996 using the name of a classic movie he saw starring Bette Davis. The story of this woman intrigued him as a young man and he followed his path to study with Dr. Edwin Druding, a direct disciple of Milton Erickson, the father of modern hypnotherapy. He has a long list of services which include:  performance enhancement (business/sports), weight control, smoking cessation, low self-esteem, etc.

What I appreciate about Danny is his lighted hearted, fun and calming disposition. We had several sessions together and I always felt heard and validated. He helped me confront some issues with my parents that had been going on for 3-1/2 years. I didn't know it until Danny helped me but the stress of the situation was causing me severe low back pain which went away almost immediately.  Also, his Anti-Stress CD helped me overcome insomnia that I had suffered with for 8 years - every night a sleeping pill.

Follow Danny on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/nowvoyagerhypnotherapy.  He posts quite often with encouraging or funny signs, health tips (mental and physical) and you'll get a real sense of who Danny is.

New Series

My name is Teri Shardy. This blog site will be about local companies in Phoenix that are sole proprietors, this will include many like myself who are in direct sales.  Through years of networking I have met hundreds of people in business that work very hard trying to get their name out in front of the public. This is  my attempt to facilitate their exposure.

I first thought of doing this several months ago when I went to a jobseekers conference. The guest speaker that day was from an organization called Local First Arizona (localfirstaz.com).  She gave us alot of numbers about sales tax and employment that really startled me! To think that a city as large as the Phoenix Metro area is  would actually pay companies to open stores here is crazy to me. You'd think 4 million potential customers would be enough of a reason. So since then I have been on a mission to visit local businesses first if at all possible. To find out more about local businesses you can frequent check out Local First's website.

As part of a direct sales company, even though that company may be out of state, we live right here and pay our taxes right here.  I am a consultant with Gold Canyon Candles which is located in Chandler, Arizona. We have consultants around the country, Canada and Puerto Rico.  Many of the people you will meet that are direct sellers have websites where you can view the catalog and order online.  If necessary, you could also look up a consultant in your area.

Please visit my website or Facebook page to learn more about me. And if you are or know of a direct seller or small business in the Phoenix area and would like to be featured here, please send me an email: bizygirlcandles@gmail.com
