Origami Owl is Coming to Canada in February!

January 18, 2015 by Jennylou

Have questions? Just ask!

Why ask me?

I promise you the following:

1. No hype and no run-around. It is what it is. If you like the jewelry and would love to share and sell it and make 30% or 50% commission, Origami Owl is something you may want to look into.

2. No exaggerated promises on a financial future. You make money when you work it. It is based on commissions. The higher the sale, the higher the commissions. Zero sales is zero pay. To get to sales. there are a ton of training available to ALL by Origami Owl. It is up to you to do what it actually says. No individual can promise your an amazing financial future, only your work can.

3. No lies. There are so many lies going around just so you can join their team. There are monetary advantages for those you join if you happen to do well in your sales, thus why they want you. Not all will have sales so they want lots of you. Be careful on who tickles your ear as some are way too far out with their lies. Those with the biggest promises may not even be in great standing or within Origami Owl.

4. No inflated promises. I will not promise you titles and event spaces and cash. Only you can have these by earning these things yourself. I have been consistently involved with my current team on a daily basis and sharing with them how they can get to where they want to be. We only need to be open to doing the work to get to the destination. We all start the same – a business (aka starter) kit that you buy, and with your personal hard work, you earn and reap the benefits of being an Origami Owl Ind. Designer. You are NOT given Titles from someone you don’t even know.

5. No obligation to join my team. In fact, we are not to be recruiting as per our company policies and procedures Section 4.7 “No Independent Designer may in any unauthorized country: (a) conduct sales, enrollment or training meetings; (b) enroll or attempt to enroll potential Customers or Independent Designers; or (c) conduct any other activity for the purpose of selling Origami Owl products, establishing a marketing Organization or promoting the Origami Owl opportunity.” We are not authorized in Canada. Enough said.

6. I promise honesty, integrity, and transparency. I only have and can give information you need about Origami Owl’s expansion into Canada, from what Origami Owl has given to us. Those saying they have secret insider information above others and claim they have an “in” on Canada is terribly misguided. The REAL truth is that ALL of us have the same Canada FAQ sheets 🙂 If you’d like to go over it together via email, Facebook group, online chat, or personally over the phone, I’m your gal. Simply ask.

If you’d like to hear my personal and professional experiences with Origami Owl the last 3 years I have been with the company (practically since the beginning), the high points, the challenges of working it with a young family, and daily life being one of the first 200 Ind. Designers in the states, connect with me. I’d be glad to share with you all this as well.

7. I promise to not “recruit” you. I would love for you to consider me as your Mentor and not against having my current team extend to Canada but I will not recruit you or entice you with anything to join my team. My assumption is that my readers are grown adults that are able to make sound and informed decisions on who and how they will be coming into Origami Owl. I may be on your list as a future Mentor after taking a look around on this blog and online and see what I offer my current team. Or maybe not. Either way, I would like to wish you well on your future with Origami Owl and in life.

Until the Origami Owl laws allow me to conduct activity towards Canadians, I will remain here within the boundaries and with integrity in tact.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to sharing more about Canada in the near future.

Sincerely,

There she goes again, inspiring young women to follow their dreams! This time Bella is sharing her insights in the October issue of Seventeen magazine—available on newsstands now!

Inside, Bella offers advice for young women who want to take their ideas to the next level—be unique, don’t be afraid to take some risks, and look for your next step. She also reveals that she’s especially proud of Origami Owl’s Owlette program and how it can help girls build confidence, learn business skills, earn money and build a résumé.

Origami Owl {Custom Jewelry} Partners with Swarovski {Crystals}

July 29, 2014 by Jennylou

I was so excited as I watched Origami Owl Custom Jewelry unveil to us the news of their exclusive partnership with Swarovski (as in crystals) this past weekend in Phoenix, Arizona. Being into all things pretty, I knew right then, that our brand just moved up many steps higher. Just as Chrissy, Bella’s mom has always said, “We just get better” and truly as you are about to see, we do. For those who have no clue what the big deal is with Swarovski, watch this video and may you too be excited with the partnership of Swarovski and Origami Owl Jewelry.

Bella of Origami Owl featured in Teen Vogue Magazine

May 20, 2014 by Jennylou

I met Bella for the first time in January of 2012 at the first SOAR event held here in San Diego. She was this tall beautiful girl that was bright and bubbly who clearly loved life. It is almost hard to believe that even over a year later, she has yet to graduate high school, while her company, Origami Owl has been estimated at $250 million only a few years in existence.

Origami Owl has been on the news more and more and the latest one is Bella featured in Teen Vogue:

http://www.teenvogue.com/careers/fashion-careers/2014-04/bella-weems-origami-owl

With all of her accomplishments so early on, she is so grounded. I love this part of the article that shares she is simply one of the team:

But it’s not all fun and jewelry: Bella attends school full-time and typically heads to the office afterwards to work from 3 to 6. She rotates among different departments in the company to gain experience, though she doesn’t expect special treatment. For one rotation, she worked in the company’s call center, answering phones and fielding e-mails just like everyone else. “The phone would ring, and I would say, ‘Hello, this is Olive from Origami Owl,'” she explains. “I’d just make up names because I didn’t want people to know it was me.”

May she continue to work hard and continue to inspire others, especially teens. Origami Owl allows the signing up of Owlettes as young as 12 with their parent’s permission. Being in the Owlette program connects them to Bella and Darleen Santore to help establish skills, build confidence and gain experience that will help them with Origami Owl but also in life. Bella has taught us that no one is too young or too old to dream and to go for whatever it is they want in life. Bella has been a great testament to that and I hope to be too.

How One Teen Turned Her Babysitting Money into a $250 Million Jewelry Business

Bella Weems is already a fashion industry mogul.

Like a lot of teenagers, Bella Weems works an after-school job—hers just happens to involve a multimillion-dollar jewelry business she founded when she was a high school freshman.

Bella, now 17 and a senior, started the company that eventually became Origami Owl—a name she and her mom brainstormed together—out of necessity: She wanted a car. She asked her parents if she could have one when she turned 16, but her request was quickly denied. They told her she’d have to work to save up the money. Though her reaction at the time wasn’t particularly optimistic (“I was like, ‘Yeah, right!'”), that’s exactly what Bella did. She earned $350 in babysitting money and asked her parents to match her savings, netting her an initial investment of $700 to start her own company.

The next step was coming up with an idea. Bella always loved making jewelry, lockets especially, and thought it would be cool to sell pieces that were customizable. She wanted each item to tell its wearer’s story via charms and features that could reveal their personality and interests. “It’s not about the jewelry,” Bella says. “It’s about the meaning behind it.”

Once they had prototypes of their baubles, Bella and her mom made the rounds at local boutiques, getting some to agree to sell the line. They didn’t have much stock at first—remember, this all started with $700!—and they initially had to put any money they earned right back into the business. Still, things went well enough that they wanted to take a shot at selling in their own retail space at a local shopping center. “That was a big leap of faith for us,” Bella says, “because the rent for the mall was $7,000 a month.” The leap paid off, and customers clamored to participate in Origami Owl’s success: “The most common questions we would get were ‘How can I be a part of this?’ and ‘How can I sell this myself?'”

That’s when the company decided to go the direct-sales route, allowing anyone to sign up online to sell jewelry as an independent “designer.” But don’t confuse Origami Owl girls with Tupperware ladies. Taking a page out of its founder’s book, the company encourages kids as young as 12 to become designers (with their parents’ permission, of course) and gain entrepreneurial experience. Over 60,000 designers have signed up so far, and the company was projected to bring in over $250 million last year alone.

Besides her mother, who is Origami Owl’s head of creative, Bella employs other family members too: “I have three uncles that work there right now. Altogether, there have been five!” This helps give the company its family feel, as do the dance breaks they regularly organize. “They’re for when you’re having a tough day and need to get in the mood and get some inspiration,” Bella says. “Sometimes you’ll hear music from upstairs and know everyone’s having a dance party.”

But it’s not all fun and jewelry: Bella attends school full-time and typically heads to the office afterwards to work from 3 to 6. She rotates among different departments in the company to gain experience, though she doesn’t expect special treatment. For one rotation, she worked in the company’s call center, answering phones and fielding e-mails just like everyone else. “The phone would ring, and I would say, ‘Hello, this is Olive from Origami Owl,'” she explains. “I’d just make up names because I didn’t want people to know it was me.”

Chances are it won’t be long before everyone has heard of this teen mogul, who did, in fact, end up earning more than enough cash to buy herself a car: She now drives a white Jeep. Yes, Bella’s certainly living the much-deserved charmed life, in more ways than one.
