Do you suffer from dry skin?

I don't know about the rest of you but summer makes my skin dry and makes it feel and look awful. However, I found a solution that really works great for my skin all while making it healthy and beautiful.

I had tried everything on the market and even some home remedies that didn't work to heal dry skin. Then I tried the Mia Bella soap bars when I bathed and afterwards use the Bella Balm. After just two uses my dry skin was going away and now I have smooth sexy skin and I love it.

In fact my whole family uses it including my children. The soap bars last up to 8 weeks and there are other perks to using it besides bathing and healing dry skin. Mia Bella soap bars can be used for shampooing your hair and for shaving. Yes you heard right. Your hair will look, feel and smell great.

Use the two step process to relieve dry skin. Bath with a Bella Bar, dry off and apply Bella Balm and see for yourself why so many people are making the switch to our soaps and balm.

Simply Bella Candles Needs help.

Simply Bella Candles is offering you the chance to stat your own business. whether its full time or part time, replacement of your current income. It can be done. This is not a get rich quick scheme but instead a job you work and make money at while having fun. You have the potential to earn as little or as much as you want.

How to earn money with Simply Bella Candles

• Autoship Program: When you join our Autoship Program, you will have the choice to receive one of the following monthly shipments:

$39.95 per Month
(1) 16oz. Jar Candle (1) Dozen 2.5oz. Votives (1) Bella Bar (1) Company website	OR	(2) 16oz. Jar Candles (1) Bella Bar (1) Company website	OR	(2) Foaming Hand Wash (2) Bella Balm (2) Bella Bar (1) Company website

or

$100.00 per Month

(4) 16 ounce Jar Candles    (2) Bella Bar soaps (2) Mia Melt packages (2) Car Fresheners (1) Company website (1) Foaming Hand Wash (1) Simmer Pot w/out bulb (1) Melter Plug-In (2) Replace the company package(s) with products that you would like instead. You must match all products that would be in that kit. As an example, if you are scheduled to receive a $39.95 kit containing 2 fresh laundry and 1 sweet orange bella bar you can replace that kit with the following example: 1 Fresh Apple 1 Lavender 1 Slate and Stone Bella Bar (3) Take the 25 / 100 point option which allows you to "store" those buying points in the back office for up to 90 days. You can use those points to buy whatever products you want. You can use the points up each month, or allow them to accumulate to buy one order every 3 months to save on shipping. Each of these options run PER MONTH and the volume created by those options will go into the downline report that month. So if you chose the 25/100 point auto ship option but decided not to use those points in April you still generated $39.95/$100 in CV that month. The autoship program is available to U.S. residents and Canadian residents in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador. Fundraising: Imagine that you could set up just 30 of the thousands of organizations in your area and they sold 1,000 candles per year doing just two fund-raisers per year. If you earned $1 or $2 per candle you could be earning an incredible fund-raising income! From the customers who purchase the candles at a fund-raiser you could get lots of new retail customers, more fund-raisers and there is a huge potential for sponsoring candle of the month club members too! Residual Income: When you build a business organization by sponsoring others into the program you can earn a percentage of the commissionable sales volume of all the Candle of the Month Program and Associate distributors in that organization. This plan was designed to benefit both the part-time and full-time distributor. That is why the larger commission is at both the 1st and 6th levels. You can earn residual income based on the retail sales of your entire organization! Retail sales: Almost everyone you know has scented candles in his or her home! Chances are 99% of those candles are paraffin candles! The process of selling Mia Bella Gourmet Candles is so simple. Since most people already buy scented candles they will be open to at least look at your gourmet candles. Once you let them smell the gourmet candle you are assured a sale! Thats all there is to it, with so many ways to make money from home why not go with a company thats proven that there is money to be made from home. More information at Simply Bella Candles

Qualities to Look for in a Direct Sales Company

The first question we talked about when evaluating a Direct Sales company was….Finding a product or service that you enjoyed.


Now, let’s talk about the 2nd question -
Is the company you are looking at designed for YOU…not just the company…but YOU?

You want to make sure you are apart of a direct sales company that is offering you a system for YOU to succeed, make a great profit and provide flexibility for you and your family.
I also have a few RED FLAGS for you to watch out for.

The Direct Sales industry is one of the fastest growing industries...especially today with so many individuals looking for ways to supplement or even replace their income.

The fact is people can invest a very small amount to start their own business and in some cases make a great profit immediately if they do the research before.

 

  Now I said "IN SOME CASES?"

Let me ask a question...is the business you are currently in, designed for YOU... to make a great profit…to succeed... and enjoy the freedom and rewards ...to replace your income...to actually pay the bills...to have fun?

 

Did you KNOW there is a difference?

 

Direct sales businesses like all businesses are in it to make a profit, that is just common sense but some are designed to actually GIVE BACK TO YOU in abundance without hoops and quotas.

Are you in your company to make a profit? To make enough for travel, bills or better yet change your future?

If so, give yourself the extra time to educate, evaluate and learn more about the company and what is set in place for YOU...not the company...YOU!!!

 

 

Do you know what to LOOK FOR when evaluating a company for YOU?
Here are just a few qualities that are set in place for you to succeed. Make sure that the company you choose is providing these key aspects.

Quality #1 - You buy the products at Wholesale

This allows you to make immediate income without the upfront cost. This shows the company is putting faith in you to succeed, by giving you the best possible price which gives you a high profit. They have taken from their profit and given back to YOU.

Red Flag....Do you buy at Retail? When you have a company that requires distributors to buy at retail...that says "We got our money, hope it works for you." This system is design for the COMPANY not YOU the distributor. 

Think of it this way – If you have to buy $1,000 worth of product upfront retail cost, the company just made their profit whether you sell it or not. Is this looking out for YOU? 

Quality #2 - The business plan is simple without all the quotas and requirements

A company that was designed for YOU will not stress you out over party quotas, business quotas and retail quotas. They have created a simple plan that allows YOU to succeed and make money without all the hoops. (Not unless you are joining the circus)

When a Company is simple without all the normal requirements, they want you to focus on building a business, helping others, and putting money in YOUR pocket from the very beginning, not expecting you to meet X amount of requirements BEFORE you get paid.

Company pressure = Distributor Pressure = hostess/customer pressure = the distributor burning out and quitting. 

Red Flag...If you have to meet x amount of quotas BEFORE you get paid this is a key sign the company is not distributor friendly. Why? The sad truth is that most distributors don't last when there are high demands of quotas and requirement and end up quitting, yet the company got their money.

Quality #3 - Retail Profit margin above 30%

When you see a company giving the distributors more than 30% profit (retailing) this shows value and respect for those distributors. You started the business to MAKE MONEY so make sure the profit margin is going to allow you to do that.

Red Flag...  As a new distributor if you are making less than 30%, or better yet getting paid with more products, you may want to think about this. Why work hard for a company that is compensating you so little? Does this REALLY compensate you for your work?

Quality #4 - They offer quality and consumable products

A company that is Distributor friendly offers quality and consumable products. They want their distributors to continue to see the money coming in as well as make customers happy with the best of the best product line.

Consumable products that are at an affordable cost and quality are going to make a win-win for both YOU and the company, not to mention happy customers who come back for more!

Red Flag…Is your MAIN “flag ship” product consumable? It may be “cool” but you will have to work twice as much looking for new customer if it is not consumable. How long do you think distributors can keep that going?

Quality #5 - Having a choice in start-up packets

You should have choices. When a company is out to help you, they offer many options in packages when getting started. They understand that not everyone is on the same level financially. There is usually a pack that is considered your business in a box with everything you need and saves you money.

Red Flag...Make sure that no matter what packet you get started with you are actually getting PRODUCT for it. If a company wants you to pay them $800 to join and you get nothing for that – run, run as fast as you can!

Quality #6 - Offer Team training and support

When a company is distributor friendly they set into place training and support with systems in place to create success. Remember, YOU are the one that has to take the steps to implement the training.

Red Flag…Make sure you pick a sponsor that is going to invest time and support. You do not want to be just another number. Choose wisely.

Quality #7 – Profitable company plan

Company compensation plans  are as different and unique as each company. I am not going to take the time to dive into comp plans, just make sure you are comfortable with the comp plan and that you are making outstanding residual income, this is your future.

Red Flag…When you have a company that has a lot of quotas and requirements they tend to have a hard comp plan that doesn’t allows you to create a healthy residual income. There also tends to be complex quotas in place before you get paid, move up or qualify.

Think about this...the more hoops you have to jump through, not distributor friendly!

Don’t hesitate to ASK QUESTIONS and get the specifics of what is required to build your residual income.

 

 

There are fantastic companies that were designed for YOU in mind, just make sure you don’t do one of these mistakes, that most people do.

MISTAKES many often take.

Mistake #1 - Sign up because the product is "COOL"...yes it may be popular or trendy but ask yourself these questions...

• Will you make a profit? Chances are you started this business to MAKE MONEY, make sure you are profiting at least 30% or higher from the beginning. If you make less than that, will that really add up to help pay the bills, go on a vacation or replace your income?

• Is that "Cool" product consumable? The last thing you want to do when working from home is cause yourself MORE work...If it is not a consumable product you will have to continue to look for new customers month after month. That is taking time away for YOU and your family.  

• Is the company designed for you? It may be trendy but make sure YOU are not doing all the work to help JUST the company.

So many get wrapped up into a trendy product line but do not take the time to dive deeper to find out if the company representing that product has a solid foundation. So make sure to see if it has the above qualities.

Mistake #2 - Signing up without researching the company completely

Many get sucked into the excitement of their future sponsor and what they are telling them. People do sign up with people they connect and enjoy BUT, the mistake is taken when they do not dive deeper into the company.

You may have found a fantastic product and a cool sponsor but, make sure the COMPANY is designed for you to make money and enjoy the rewards of having a Direct Sales business.

There are direct sales businesses on the market that offer fantastic products, profitable comp plans and systems that are designed to succeed - Make sure to choose one that has the above qualities!

I want more than anything for this post to educate and give you a resource to learn more about OPTIONS you have with Direct Sales.

Top 12 Small Business Tax Deductions

I love this simple list of the top 12 Small Business tax deductions.

Remember the best advice is to contact a local tax accountant in your area to give you more details on your state requirements.

Small-business tax rule No. 1: Don't mess with the IRS.

But that doesn't mean you should cheat yourself. Take every legal deduction you can. Here are a dozen that even savvy small-business owners and entrepreneurs sometimes forget:

The deductible dozen:

1. Home office
2. Office supplies
3. Furniture
4. Other equipment
5. Software and subscriptions
6. Mileage
7. Travel, meals, entertainment and gifts
8. Insurance premiums
9. Retirement contribution
10. Social Security
11. Telephone charges
12. Child labor

1. Home office - Concerned that claiming a home-office deduction is tantamount to sending an engraved invitation to an Internal Revenue Service auditor? Don't be, says Jan Zobel, author of "Minding Her Own Business: The Self-Employed Woman's Guide to Taxes and Record-keeping.""I don't agree that chances of getting audited are greater with a home-office deduction," says Zobel, a San Francisco Bay-area tax expert, who specializes in serving the self-employed. The key is that you use the term "home office" the same way the IRS does. The tax agency says....

The success of your Business

The success of your business starts with your THOUGHTS!


Your business will only do as well as you THINK IT WILL...


So my question to you is -


What is it that you are thinking and focusing on? Is it positive or negative?


Do those little voices in your head sound like this... "boy I am never going to sell a candle, no one wants to buy these, I can't find anyone to host a party, that other company is kicking my butt, the 25 people I talked with all said no, so this is not working"


If that is what you are thinking then guess what  - that is WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET out of your business. Why? because that is negative energy you are putting out and is coming right back to you.


Instead you should be having thoughts like these...


WOW! I just love these products and I can't wait to share!
Everyone is going to fall in love right away and want to buy


This business is fantastic I just know others are going to want to join my team


Today I am going to have great success and plant many seeds that will produce great fruit!


I am going to think outside the box and continue to share because I know people are looking for product and/or a business like mia bella.


When you put thought like the above YOU have positive energy are happy and confident - people want to buy , do business and join a team with someone that is positive and upbeat!


So I encourage you to start your day off on the right attitude of thinking POSITIVE and focusing on what you want your business to LOOK like... then take daily action step to create success!


Don't forget to take the action steps... remember having success in your business STARTS with thinking positive but you HAVE to WORK your business and put action behind those thoughts.


YOU and YOUR business are WHAT YOU FOCUS ON...so give yourself the change of focusing on the positive aspects of life and business.

If you would like to join my team visit Simply Bella Candles.

The Difference Between Scent-Sations Mia Bella Candles and Others

The difference between Scent-Sations Mia Bella Candles and others is simple, Palm Wax. Scent-Sations uses natural palm wax when making candles. Mia Bella candles discovered that soy wasn't the best way to create candles because soy does not produce the scent throw people enjoy.

Soy candles leave the scent at the top in the form of a puddle which does not let the scent last. However with Scent-Sations Mia Bella candles the scent lasts throughout the life of your candle which means from the top to the bottom of your jar. In addition, Mia Bella has the strongest scented candles on the market today.

Our clean burning candles are easily cleaned up if spilled, simply use warm soapy water and the mess is gone.

 Another difference between Scent-Sations Mia Bella candles and others is our wicks are made of 100% cotton and lead FREE  and the core is zinc free!

What People are Saying:

Unbeatable Value, Unmatchable Products
Reviewer: Patty B. - Malvern, PA

These four products are a value that cannot be beat within the skin care market... it's like having 5 bottles in 1! I have tried many of the high end product lines out there and none have worked as well as Dermal Renu. There is no other line on the market that combines so many key ingredients like peptides, vitamins, antioxidants, caffeine and hyaluronic acid into one bottle. Within 2 weeks of using Dermal Renu my skin has become noticeably softer, smoother and firmer. I even use the PM Treatment under my eyes and my dark circles have faded!

Beautiful Skin,
Reviewer: Jilly
This is the best skin care product I have ever used. The packaging is so nice. I love using it every day !!! Thank you so much for this wonderful product!

Dermal Renu®
Reviewer: Elisabeth
I’ve been using Dermal Renu for 5 months now and after just 3 months of consistently using the product, I was no longer getting my monthly breakouts. I had bad acne as a teenager and this product has lightened my scars and given me smooth, soft and radiant skin. I love it!

Dermal Renu® #1 Fan
Reviewer: Sunami
I never thought in all my life my skin could make a difference in such an amazing way. I have received numerous compliments on my skin. I can honestly say i feel and look 10 years younger. I have tried way too many products and this one is absolutely the best !! Thank you whoever created and manufactures this outstanding product!

Was skeptical... Now I believe!
Reviewer: Veronica
This product is worth every penny. I was a bit hesitant to purchase my first system, but it lasts more than 60 days! . Not only have I noticed the results but others have noticed them as well. Everything you read about this product is true. I am now on my second system and I strongly recommend it to everyone!

A FIRM Believer, January 08, 2009
Reviewer: Deanna from Baltimore
Before using this product I had combination skin. I have tried most products out there to correct this problem. Dermal Renu has revitalized my skin. It is moisturized while still being firm. This product has an easy regimen to follow, unlike other products that produce the same effects. There is no burning, dryness, or shiny skin during use; just healthy looking skin all day! I fully recommend this product for all ages and skin types!

Great skin
Reviewer: MC
I truly love this product. I'm in my 40's and have used many different skin creams, from drug-store brands to high-end brands. Dermal Renu is really great, it makes me look and feel younger than I felt with anything I’ve ever used.

What a Difference!
Reviewer: Angela S.
A friend recommended this system to me and I am so grateful that I tried it! I'm entering my 30's and am starting to see some fine lines emerge, but still struggle at times with blemishes or occasional acne. Dermal Renu has worked wonders with my skin, both in smoothing any signs of aging and clearing my complexion! I love that my skin is moisturized but still feels light and fresh. I'm hooked!

Changed The Texture Of My Skin
Reviewer: Laura from California
Now in my late 30's, I've started to notice fine lines and larger pores. This system, unbelievably, addresses both of my problems. After 3 weeks, the texture of my skin started to change! My face feels moisturized yet tighter. And my pores and lines are noticeably smaller giving me a more dewy complexion. I'll definitely continue using this product.

This product is AMAZING
Reviewer: Julie Rishkofski
I love this product! It is a must have. My friends have commented on how great my skin looks after only three weeks. The dark circles under my eyes have faded and my skin looks and feels refreshed!

Looking great
Reviewer: Carmella
I’ve been using dermal-renu for 6 months now and can truly say it has changed my complexion. WOW! This skin care line is wonderful, my skin is fresh and new, fine lines are no more, and I feel more youthful. I'm 49 years old and look great. Thank you Dermal Renu.
