It's Year End Tax Prep Time!

  So I readily admit that preparing my information for my tax accountant is absolutely the least favorite part of owning my own business.   BUT, it has to be done and the reality is, when you own your own business you get all kinds of tax deductions.   I uploaded a short YOUTUBE video for you to watch that I think will make your preparations simple.   It's less than 5 minutes and well worth your watching.

    Additionally, I have a document on our team Facebook page (simply like "Wiemann Spa Girls") that is helpful in helping you track your expenses month by month.   I use Quicken; others use Money Works, some even use paper like the document I've attached.  It lists all the things you can deduct.  You could take this piece of paper and tape it to a large manilla envelope or forward and do one for each month if you want.   Then the second sheet is for income.
  Lastly, if you sell a lot of product and if you're good with computers you might consider getting a program called Nutshell.  It helps you type out invoices for your clients and is helpful in monitoring your inventory.  I love Nutshell.  I use it to send emails to my clients regularly; I use it to keep my clients' husband's information and just so much information.  If you're interested in knowing more about this program let me know and I will help you get started with a free trial.   Otherwise, keep it simple and track it via paper--that's what I did for years!  

New York New York

  I love this time of year.  I love the anticipation of Christmas.  I've been involved in music at our church ever since I can remember and I never tire of how expectant we are as musicians.  We expect miracles.  We expect people to get moved by the Holy Spirit in our services.  We expect people to come who don't normally and then experience God in new ways.   It's such a blessing to be a part of Christmas services and I never tire of that feeling of expectancy.  Each year is so different from the previous.

  I also love the anticipation of new things with BeautiControl.  And I love it when our leadership decide to do something unexpected!  Today it was learning about a recruiting promotion where consultants can earn a trip to New York City!!   Wow - the promotion runs January through March and along the way are awesome gifts PLUS the top 40 recruiters get to spend a day shopping with Daisy. 

Recruiting Rewards for New York Promotion

  The great thing about recruiting promotions is that everyone is on the same page.  Everyone has the same opportunities and I've seen amazing things happen in these promotions.   Log into beautinet to read the guidelines.  Remember, your new team members must be qualified (qualified means $500 retail order in their first 30 days or $1000 accumulative in their first 60 days).   This promotion can change your business so if you're interested in learning how to get this to happen let's talk.
  Take a minute and comment on our Facebook page - they say when you commit to others you are more apt to really do what you said you'd do.   Would this be an awesome way to start the year or what!?!??

  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!   Everyone is in the holiday spirit and we had a fantastic month in November.   Many of you took advantage of the Thanksgiving Sale.  Shop in your own store this holiday season, but don't forget to ask friends/family what they might like.  Remember, if you don't have a webpage (which I recommend if you want to grow your BeautiControl biz) be sure to refer them to either mine or www.beauticontrol.com

Heather Jones, Carolyn Sullivan- Julie's Team
Christina Nell-Hatfield, Martha McAntire - Heather Jones' Sr. Consultant Team

My husband and I are big fans of some of the shows that show stories of people overcoming obstacles.   Sometimes I get in a funk when I have 3 spas cancel; or 10 people say no or a consultant calls to say she no longer wants to purchase or sell BeautiControl.  Then I come across videos like this that show someone overcoming challenges and I think "good grief, my life isn't so bad".   Watch this video and be inspired to overcome those NOs today.

I am not currently holding evening meetings due to poor attendance with everyone's crazy schedules and a lot of new team members being from out of town.

Lastly, I wanted to share this little video from Sr. Executive Director Lisa Herman, a young mom of  3 in Florida.  I love her advice--Random effort produces random results.   Do something every day for your business - CONSISTENCY.   It's been the key to my success for 22 years.  Some days it's something big; many days it's been something little.  You can do this!!!   


MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  I am so blessed with all of you.  I am grateful for the gift of my Savior and the reason I celebrate the season; and I am grateful for each of you.  Be blessed this Christmas season!  JULIE
