New Era of Entrepreneurship

We have one more month until it is 2012. 16 more months until my husband walks away from a 20+ year career with the U.S. Army. Although we are grateful for the experiences, we look forward to having the freedom to do what we choose. Recently I read an article and wanted to share it with those who are wanting the same. Whether it is to open up a Floral Shop or Bakery, there is no time like the present.

dreams and plan to succeed in this new era. Of course,
there are certain steps you should take to better control

Have an Entrepreneurial Mindset


Entrepreneurship is much broader than the simple definition of small business. It is a mindset. You must think like an investor and act like an entrepreneur. You invest in an idea to create value that is separately identiiable
from yourself. However, as an entrepreneur, you still take full responsibility for it. Make sure that each of your ventures has its own unique purpose, vision, and plan.

The Map –Plan, Manage, and Strategize

There are always inherent risks in business. The word entrepreneur by its own deinition is someone who organizes, manages, and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise. However, you can overcome many risks if you develop a succinct business plan, an organized management infrastructure, and strategies to create
value. Strive to be innovative and develop new ideas while balancing risks and costs. This will ultimately lead to proitability.


Expect to Succeed

What does it take to succeed? It takes an entrepreneurial mindset, a plan, and management strategies that create value through innovation and a focus on profitability. It does not come easily, but it can be done. The economy has changed, and change creates opportunity for those who are prepared to seize the moment. Don’t miss your opportunity. Expect to win. Plan to win. Prepare to win in this new era of entrepreneurship. The future of our economy awaits!

The Women of USANA: Inspiring Stories of Success

written by Patrick Kibbie
Did you know that women make up 82 percent of the network marketing industry? Are you surprised?
If you look at the way the business model is set up, you shouldn’t be. Women are uniquely suited to network marketing and bring with them natural skills that give them a distinct advantage:

Juggling Life

“If you want something done, ask a busy woman,” said successful direct seller Susanne Cunningham. Women are known for their ability to multi-task, often running a household, earning an income, caring for family, and much, much more. And to build a successful home-based business, you must be adept at focusing on more than one task at a time.

Expert Opinion

Personal recommendations sell products, and women are experts in sharing their opinions — whether about a restaurant, boutique, or the new gym they joined. And when buying new products, women love to find out all the information they can, especially what other women think.

“I started using the products and was so happy with the results that I was talking to nearly everyone I met about USANA,” said Justina Rudez.

Enthusiastic to Learn

We’ve all heard the story of the lost couple; the husband is stubborn while the wife is the one willing to ask for directions. That is because women have a willingness to learn and are excited about learning new things to increase their knowledge and expertise.

“USANA is a wonderful opportunity because of the personal development that is involved,” said Erika Hilliard, whose home-based business has allowed her to connect with people all over the world. “Once you obtain a different view of yourself and your future, you realize you can make great decisions and can also take pride in watching your business grow.”

The Solution of Balance

Who wouldn’t want the ability to work from home — part-time or full — with the allure of flexible hours?
“I’ve found it inspiring to watch so many stay-at-home moms grow as people and as professionals,” said Sandra Moody. “These businesswomen have achieved improved health and gained financial freedom, and they also enjoy great work schedules that allow them to travel and have wonderful experiences with their families.”

Today we celebrate!!!!

July 13, 2003 would be the start of so many lives changing! Who knew getting involved in one of "those things" lol would affect our lives and those we came in contact with, in so many ways. Since that day, we have been able to pay off debt, have a better quality of life and watch our dreams become a reality. We  have a business that is willable to our children, we have better health and residual income. We have trusted our health to the best and have seen tremendous results in our lives and the lives of family and friends around the world.

Obtaining knowledge of this Industry and having the faith and confidence to succeed is very important. Not listening to the naysayers and "dream stealers" is equally key to achieving your dreams and goals. We are so grateful to be able to share this with so many who will receive it! It certainly isn't for everyone.

There are many great Companies out there! We are thankful to be a part of one with Vision and Purpose not just based on hype. Over the pass few weeks, USANA has received Accolades, Awards and Recognition and it just keeps getting better and better.
