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.
