O2 Designers, Design Your Perfect Week

by

Who’s the Boss when it comes to your perfect week?  Is it you or someone else?  The perk of being an Origami Owl Independent Designer is the ability to be your own boss.  Don’t lose sight of that!

Today is Sunday and you look forward to another week. You’ve either planned your week already or just now thinking out what it is you might want to do.

Let a calendar help you be the boss – you control the calendar, not the other way around!

How to Design the Perfect Week.

Step 1.  Get some colored markers and mark your calendar with the must-do’s: family events, kids events, other job, church, etc.

Step 2.  Mark when you will be doing business: Jewelry Bars, Business Work Hours (for team calls, training calls and office work).

Step 3. Mark other things on the calendar: No Work Zones – times when you have nothing scheduled but are not able to work.  These are to be used for other must do’s such as laundry, errands, etc.

Step 4: Carve out time for yourself to focus on your goals, dreams, and aspirations.   Take some time to renew and rejuvenate.

Step 5: Stick to the Plan of your Perfect Week.

Work Balance

When it comes to work, how much of it do you want?  Think of what kind of Designer you want to be.

The majority of Designers average a 10-hour work week. An Origami Owl Designer’s week may look like this:

4 jewelry bars a month resulting in 1200 in PV and get them to meet and interact with 40 new people a month.

He or she schedules Monday night to be in on company training calls, set aside office time for her Team and for customer care calls, and ‘No Work’ zones for her family and other life obligations and pleasures.

Have more time on your hands?  Consider the following:

The 26-hours Designer holds 10 Origami Owl jewelry bars a month resulting in 3000 in PV.  He or she meets 100 new people a month and averages 4-6 personally mentored in her team.

Earnings are $500/week in commissions and is quickly heading for Senior or Executive Team Leader.  This momentum may lead to commissions of $1000, and with time considered is about  $30-40 an hour in rate of earnings.

Designing the Perfect Week is not seeing how much money you are able to squeeze out of every waking hour.  Designing the Perfect Week is you having the ability to control your calendar and design a life that you want, while reaping the financial rewards that an Origami Owl business has to offer.  A Perfect week is the result of you learning to consciously run your days with intention, instead of you unintentionally letting your days run you,  leaving you in the end, wondering where it all went.

***

One of the toughest part of this lesson to swallow was when Dawn said,“If it is not on the calendar, or of it is not time for it, don’t do it.”  She said somthing along the lines of… If you do not do jewelry bars on Tuesdays and someone wants one on a Tuesday, either try to work the Hostess in a day you do work or pass it on to a Designer on your team who can do that day.  This  may be hard to do at first but long-term, you keep respect for yourself, your time, and the time of those around you.  And in turn, you will be respected as well.  If it is dinner time with the family and that phone rings, don’t pick up!   Business during family and other important moments is one of the fastest and quickest way to resentment and lack of support from family, burnout from yourself, and eventually you stepping away and leaving business.  So don’t take it lightly when Origami Owl says, create you Perfect Week because ultimately, you create your Perfect Lifestyle.

Origami Owl Charms

by

You know what makes Origami Owl Charms so unique? Is it the locket? The charms? No. As a matter of fact Origami Owl is NOT the first company to offer these products. Its the story. As I reflect on the birth of my children I couldn’t help but to create my own story when I saw these 3 Origami Owl Charms – The ‘mom’ gold charm, the pink baby carriage, and the 1 year birthday cake. I knew then, we were on to something. . .

What makes Origami Owl Charms so Unique?

Besides that they come from a great company I can think of three additional reasons of why I think Origami Owl is unique:

    1. They give back to the community. Check out their Force for Good Campaign. 
    2. They empower women everywhere (and some dudes) by offering an opportunity to get involved with a unique home party business that’s setting a new standard in the industry.
    3. You can create personalized lockets using charms like the ones you see below to create your own personalized story. Continue browsing below and see some of the lockets I’ve designed with Origami Owl.

Origami Owl and Dave Ramsey

by

… in the same room!!!

My husband came running out the room to tell me that Origami Owl was on Twitter with Dave Ramsey.  I went to go look, clicked on a link in their feed and I saw the picture below!

Bella, the founder of Origami Owl with Dave Ramsey, the author of Financial Peace University and the host of his own radio show, The Dave Ramsey Show.

 

20130124-171055.jpg

Bella was a 14 year old teenager who had this dream to make just enough money to have her own car by age 16.  She achieved her dream by working really hard for it – selling jewelry to anyone and everyone who would listen and skipping out on fun things while her friends were out hanging out and partying.

Dave Ramsey is a self-made millionaire who went from rags to riches – to rags again – and to riches again and made a decision to keep it this time by following 7 major principles he still follows to this day. Today, he teaches people a systematic way, dubbed ‘The Dave Ramsey Plan’ to get people out of debt, through a lot of hard work, so that they too can reach their dreams because they have achieved their financial freedom.

***

My husband and I learned about Dave Ramsey late one night of AM Radio.  We had no cable and we would listen to those “weird” shows like the Twilight Zone on there, late at night.  In debt and out of work, we were on our kitchen table with bills opened up (including late rent notices), trying to figure out what to do.  Dave Ramsey came on air one night and we were hooked!  Who was this guy?  Soon we found out all there was to know.  We devoured everything he said, we got working on our ‘Dave Ramsey Plan,’ paid off 50k in credit card debt, and even got others on the Plan.

But honestly, we didn’t stick to his plan as Dave would say to do his plan – but we have made progress: no more credit card usage to pay for things to live on, and no more using credit cards to buy things that we want. If we had done it Dave’s way without stopping, we could have been here at the Dave Ramsey studio on the same day that Bella was here to attend SOARO2 Tennessee.

Just the other day, I made a mental decision to get back on The Dave Ramsey Plan.  I want to be debt free by 2014.  Yesterday, as I searched for an old cellphone in the garage, I came across the Financial Peace workbook we had filled in almost 4 years ago but never fully put to action.    And today, Dave Ramsey is here, standing with Bella, the other means or road to our financial peace.  It’s like a God thing…. and God is saying, “Jennylou, you have all the tools right in front of you; now, what are you going to do with it?”
