WARNING: Its the busiest time of the year!

I love this time of year. Its just so good to feel the cool breeze of autumn and see the beautiful colors that surround us this time of year. All of the fun holidays seem to be crammed into the last three months of the year! Halloween is so much fun now that I have a little one. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday and we enjoy our annual trip to the mountains to celebrate our family. Then comes Christmas! How many of us get all wrapped up in to do lists near the end of November? A list of cleaning, shopping, parties and other events! Its never ending it seems and it always calls for an Advil or two!

This year I challenge you to stop with the lists and frantic running. This year the dare is to actually stop with the madness and think about what the real meaning is during the holiday season. It isn't how many times you mop the foyer, its not the dress you wear to the party, its the people you surround yourself with and that you love so much! Its the girl from down the street you'd really like to get to know a little better, its the laughs and smiles and conversations you have with your sisters and daughters. Its inner peace.

This year I challenge you to spend more time smiling and less time rushing. Invite the girls over for a glass of wine and piece of pie and reconnect. Enjoy this beautiful time of the year!

xoxo,
Amanda

My Shows....

I am not your typical Direct Sale Sales Lady. If you're toying with the idea of hosting a show here's a few facts about my shows:

1 - I'm not boring. You will not hear me blab on an on about the products, company, etc. I'll give you the basics and if you're interest is peaked and you want more info ask me. You're not here to buy a time share you're here to get a bag or two. I get it.

2 - Yes, we play a game. And you decide what type of game you want me to bring. We can be a little cheesey and draw or we can be a little risque and play something a little crazy.

3 - Food/Drinks totally up to you, they make a party longer but they make guests feel more comfy. There's no requirement that you have to feed people.

4 - I want you to have a good time and get HUGE rewards. Tell me what you want and I'll do my best to help you get it.

:)

So...tell me about what you do.

I never in ten million years thought I would be a consultant for a direct marketing company. Then I saw a Thirty-One catalog, fell in love with the product, needed some extra cash and BOOM a year later I'm going strong!

Being a consultant is fun, flexible and financially great for me. I make my own schedule each month that fits whatever I have going on that month. Right now I am a stay at home mom who is taking classes for nursing school. Thanks to Thirty-One I don't have to worry about my car payment because my Thirty-One business is taking care of that for me with my commissions!

I love meeting people and making new friends. When you have a great hostess and you get to be one of the girl's for the night it makes this "job" so much fun! I really enjoy getting to know my hostesses and their friends and families. By having my Thirty-One business I have made so many more friends and have had so many more enjoyable girl's night out evenings compliments of Thirty-One.

I'm not a sales type person. I cannot stand the idea of selling anything...luckily I have a product to offer that is durable, versatile and good quality that women can check out and make their own decision about. I love explaining the versatility of the product but in all honesty these products sell themselves! Its easy!

Being a consultant isn't hard. What you put into it is what you get out of it! I generally spend an hour each day on my Thirty-One business (sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less). I Tweet, Facebook, Email, and Blog to keep my customers in the know and my future customers entertained!

Its not expensive! I used to think...oh I don't have the money. If you have $140 you can start your Thirty-One business. That will take care of all your start up needs such as product ($300 worth!), paperwork and website!

Starting May 1st I want to grow my Thirty-One team! If you are thinking about consulting then you really need to read this.....

I want to grow.........I would love for you to join me if you want to! If you sign up to consult on my website http://www.mythirtyone.com/8317 between May 1st and June 30th, then I will help you get started with a great Thirty-One business. I'm not kidding, I'll literally help you get everything rolling. The only thing you need to do is contact me before joining so we can get together and plan out your first month. If you meet Thirty-One's first 30 day challenge they'll give you the cost of your start up kit back (that's $99.00!) :) If you miss the 30 day challenge but get the 60 day challenge they'll give you $49 back!

Now if you're reading this and you're in a different state...its cool too! I will still work with you to help you get started up and have great success! With technology the sky is the limit!

Take some time and think it over and decide if you're ready to help yourself get a little extra green in that back pocket!

Is direct sale for me?


This business style is great for:

Stay at home moms who want some time away from the house and a little extra cash! Many ladies use their Thirty-One earnings for preschool tuition, kid's college fund, shopping money, helping out with the bills, vacation fund, etc.


College Students who want extra cash in their pocket and a job that they can build around their schedule.


Retirees who want extra spending money and a great time for fellowship!

Anyone who needs some extra funds each month! If you are working PT or FT you can have your Thirty-One business and schedule your shows and work time as it suits your schedule.

The sky is the limit!


Please email me any questions you may have! I'd love to help! amanda.thirtyone@yahoo.com

Support Home Based Business!

Support your local home based businesses! So many stay at home moms and working ladies are involved in other great companies such as Mary Kay, Avon, Pampered Chef, Arbonne, Party Lite, Princess House, Lia Sophia, Premier, and more. Many of these ladies are involved to help out their own families and pay that preschool tuition, get rid of excess debt, help with the monthly bills and more.
Many items you purchase from DSA businesses are covered by warranty for 90 days up to a lifetime.
Thirty-One helps me pay my monthly bills so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!

Welcome!


If you were physically walking into my store you would be esthetically pleased right now! Powder pink walls with black cube shelving highlighting my favorite Thirty-One products to the right, a shimmery silver counter just straight ahead with fresh coffee, and to the left every product for you to admire and enjoy. Did you bring your little one? No worries, we have a great play room for them. My store would be more than a place to find adorable Thirty-One merchandise. It would be a place for you to come with your friends and have a smoothie or coffee and get away from children's television, laundry, dishes, soccer practice and just be one of the girls.

While my physical store hasn't happened....my blog has and so has my home show!

My name is Amanda Bullard and I call the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina home. I am currently a college educated stay at home mommy who sales Thirty-One while going back to school! I enjoy getting to know other women through the Thirty-One experience. There is nothing more fun than walking into a person's house with a load of bags and walking out with new friends! Thirty-One has afforded me that opportunity.

Keep updated by checking out my Facebook page (Amanda's Thirty-One), following me on Twitter (@31funwithamanda) and always feel free to shop at my online store (www.mythirtyone.com/8317).

If you have questions email me amanda.thirtyone@yahoo.com!

I schedule home shows monthly and internet shows for those of us who prefer to not have folks over! Hardly any work goes into a show on the hostess end and that's a promise!

Thanks for coming by.....now check out what all we have going on!
