Are You Struggling to Stay Consistent? Here are my 5 Tips to help,

Everyone struggles with being Consistent at some things, we are only human.  But when you are consistent the results are Amazing.  

From my experience when I have been consistent in my business, my business grew which gave me even more motivation, here are my tips for anyone that is struggling to stay consistent.

Tip 1 - Remember Your Why- This is so important because you have to remind yourself why you are spending time on your business, what is it for ? Who is it for? You need to have a clear vision, whats the result and who are you helping.  I would write in down somewhere so you see it everyday.

Tip 2-  Concentrate on one thing at a time, when you are starting in a business it can be very overwhelming and you feel you have to do everything immediately.  Think about what is the most important daily step for your business and make sure you do this daily until it becomes a habit. Then start to make another task consistent.  Obviously there are going to be a few things that have to be done everyday. just concentrate on one task at a time.

Tip 3- Stop any Distractions- To work on one thing at a time you have to focus on that task only. So only have the tabs up you need, and if you are not working on facebook or other social media, turn them off.  They are so distracting to anyone and you probably end up reading things that are not helping you.

Tip 4-  Ignore Negative Self Talk or Procrastination - You have to be strong enough to ignore the ' I will do it later' or the ' I don't feel like it' this won't get your business anywhere.  Start thinking about the positive reasons for working your Business and revert back to your why.  Your mind will become stronger the more motivated you become.

Tip 5  - Schedule your Action Steps into your day, even break it up throughout the day.  Putting into your day is better than trying to fit it in when you are very busy, it is more than likely it wouldn't get done.  My advice for all the mums is to do the longest tasks as soon as you can in the day, even before the Children wake up.

 I hope that my tips help you be more consistent in your business.  If they do please leave a comment and don't forget to come over to my facebook page HERE  for more advice on how to be a happy mumpreneur,

Working my Younique Business around 3 Small Children and a Pregnancy

Hey Ladies,

  When I joined Younique as a founding UK Presenter I was 7 months Pregnant.  I did have to make a decision prior to whether I could handle a business as well as my 3 Children aged 5,3 and almost 2 at the time plus a Pregnancy, never mind 4 Children under 6.

  I made the decision that I could do it, if other Younique Presenter were doing it why couldn't I,  I did have experience of working online and in Direct Sales so I knew that you decided your hours and how much time you will put into your business.

 I am a girl with vision for my future, I didn't used to but when you have financial problems, or other hard times in your life something inside your mind switches to thinking in a different way.  For me instead of struggling each month to even pay bills I wanted to not worry about money so working around my Children was the way to do it.

 So currently 2 days before my due date and I am writing this blog post which is in fact part of my business so I am still working.  But its fun and doesn't feel like work.  I am also still supporting my team, making sure they are happy and know what there next steps are.  I am still marketing my business on social media and helping customers.  With Online Marketing you can do things when you can, its not got to be done straight away.  This is the positives of working online and why so many mums are turning to online businesses.

 I work whilst my son naps and when the Children have gone to bed.  Which is what I used to do as a Mummy Blogger so quite normal for me.

 My advice for any mums that have decided to work from home via the internet is to create a daily plan and stick to it.  Planning is key!

          I hope you enjoyed todays Blog Post.  If you want to find out more about being a Younique Presenter then take a look at my website HERE or email me on workfromhomemumuk@outlook.com.

Turn Your New Years Goals into Results

Hey Ladies,

  I wanted to share this post with you as I find it so important, I want you to turn your New Years Goals into results!!  

 We start the year off with New Years Goals and a few days or months later the motivation has disappeared.  Has this happened to you? This is so common but there is a pattern, there is a reason that people are loosing their motivation and desire for that end result.

 Think back to when you set your goal, what you were thinking when you set that goal?   You wanted to change something in your life, feel a new you.   Are you a person that sets a goal which is actually a hope, a wish for the year or are you a person who is going to succeed to make that change your reality.

  To see results you need to see progress on your journey, this makes you feel motivated each day.

  Without progress we aren't moving forward.

To Get the Results You Want

1.  So first things first to succeed you need .... a Vision!!!  

 You need to think about what you want to create not what you want to stop or do.  You want something that pulls you to work at the goal not that you have to push yourself to do.  You need something that you desire, something that excites you and that you can't stop thinking about.

 For Example...  You want to loose weight.  So now you need to add the vision.  You want to feel amazing, feel happy when you look in the mirror.  You want to have gained more confidence in yourself so you step outside of your comfort zone to achieve other dreams.  As you can see I have added a vision, more how I will feel, what other changes will happen if I loose weight, loosing weight on its own isn't enough.

 When you have strong enough reasons to succeed the goal becomes much more emotionally important to you.  Everyone goes through hard times and you need something to push you to keep going instead of just giving up.   When you keep imagining what you want, you think about it all time as you know a reason why its so important to happen in your life.

For example... whose lives will it change if you succeed with your goal?

                                               

2. You need to set high standards for yourself

  Before you get your Goal,  you have to higher your standards first as that will get you acting in the way you wish to continue even when you have reached your goal.  You have to act consistently with how you define yourself, how do you want to see yourself? What standards need to change to reach your goal?

 You have to make the decision to make it a must not a should.  If you set your standards higher you find a way to accomplish your goal.   It may be hard to believe you will achieve at first but you have to change your mindset.  Unfortunately at a young age or because of what we are told we believe some things can't be achieved.  But you have to re-condition your mind to believe you can.

  For example ....  When I started working online I had no confidence in myself, asked myself what I was doing but I knew that to achieve my goal, my dreams I had to change my mindset to believe I could achieve. To do this I had to step outside of my comfort zone of standards and raise them.  I made the decision that I didn't have to hide my life and struggles with friends as my story may change people lives in the future.  I felt so much better and felt I can achieve anything and no one will stop me.

3. You need to set Daily Actions which keeps the standards and your goals real

Success and failure are so similar, they are from all the little steps we take daily its not a overnight event.  If you are trying to loose weight you are not going to loose weight in a week, its about all the little things you do on a daily basis. To keep your relationship great, it takes all the little steps you do daily.  Since my grandparents were young my Grandad has always brought my Grandma a cup of tea in bed in the morning without fail.  Its now normal to him, it doesn't take effort and it makes my Grandma happy which makes my Grandad happy too.

                                                         

Task to Help you....

1. Choose a goal you have set, which part of your life does it belong too, Health? Relationship? Financial? Career?  Write down what its currently like.
2. Write down your current Daily Actions for that area of your life, if you are not sure ask someone who would know.
3. Write down what you want your result to look like, your vision and why you want the change.
4. What are the  Daily Actions that will get you there? Pick 2-3 daily to start with.


                Hope this helps you Turn Your Goals into Reality

Younique's Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara Review

Hey Ladies,

 I thought I would do a review on Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, tell you about the product and how you apply it.

Here I am wearing 2 Coats of Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

 So as you know I am a Younique Presenter and one of the things I love doing is sharing how amazing the products are with others.  I will give you a little background on myself and makeup...

  Before I became a Presenter and used the products I was not a huge fan of makeup and certainly didn't get excited over it.   I liked to wear Makeup but mascara was not on the top of my list of makeup priorities.  If you are a mum you may understand, you have a limited time to get your makeup on that morning especially if you are like me and don't get up before the children.  I wore mascara and tried quite a few mascaras but I always felt that they didn't do what they advertised on the bottle.  So it was a let down every time I tried something new until I joined Younique and tried their Mascara!!

 Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

'Using a simple 3 step process combining Transplanting Gel and Natural Tea Leaf Fibers you create the appearance of incredible thickness and volume to you own eye lashes, ( up to 300%).  The Mascara is water resistant but can easily be washed off with warm water and facial cleanser'

                                                       **********************

 When I first came across the Younique Mascara it was not available in the UK, but I saw the results from excited and happy ladies and I knew I was going to be buying it as soon as I could.  It seemed too good to be true by the results but I had American friends and obviously trusted them.  I was shocked that you just apply it like regular mascara but the results are so different.

 So here is a Photo of the Mascara and the Case...

As you can see you get 2 Mascara tubes inside a case that looks like it is for glasses, its a really sturdy so the Younique Mascara is safe inside.  The longer tube contains the transplanting gel which looks like mascara, its black, the smaller tube contains the fibers which look like tiny bits of fluff.

How to apply.....

1. You can apply a thin coat of your favourite or regular Mascara, but you don't have too, some people prefer to others don't.  

2. Open the lids of Both Mascara tubes, so you are ready

3. Apply a coat of the Transplanting Gel ( so the fibers stick)

4. Apply the Fibers

5. Apply another Coat of the Transplanting Gel  ( to seal the fibers)

6. Repeat if you want too.

Here is my Review Video and you will see me apply the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

As you can see the Younique Mascara really makes my lashes much longer and thicker and is so easy you apply!  I have time around my Children which is great!  Whats even better and very important is that Younique's Mascara and other products are all natural and who wants harsh Chemicals on our skin! I sure don't.

If you want to purchase the Mascara please visit my website >>> HERE <<<

Remember to change the flag at the top right to which country you live in, so we can sell to America, Canada,  UK, Australia and New Zealand.

I hope you enjoyed my review!

 See You Soon, Victoria x

Decide on Your Why for your Business

It is so important to decide on Your Why for your Business because you will go through lows and wonder what you are making the effort for, its the negative mindset.  So if we have a 'why' why you are doing the business, why you started and what changed you intend to make to your life and others around you, it give you the drive, motivation and passion to move forward.

Ask Yourself........

Why did you make the decision to grow your business, who will it it benefit?

What changes do you want to make?

 I also share with you my why! Hope you enjoy the Video!

Before Younique I was a Mummy Blogger

 Hey, Just wanted to share this Video I created a little while ago... 'Before Younique I was a Mummy Blogger'

 In fact I still am a mummy blogger, just have put it to the side this year. Since having my Children I have learned so much about how mums can socialise on the internet, share their story and now earn a living.  Its been an amazing journey and one I am so grateful to be continuing!

Strength and Growth Come Only Through Continuous Effort & Struggle

  When you struggle in life it makes you grow, makes you become a stronger and better person.  Everyone has struggles but it is what you choose to do with your problems that makes you the person you become later.

Do you.... feel sorry for yourself and expect other people to rescue you?

Or

Do you stand up for what you want, what you believe in and what you know you deserve??


 My family have been through a tough year and a half, from only one parent working, my other half Phil, myself having to look after our 3 Children and be a stay at home mum, to Phil being made redundant, getting into contracting then loosing his job really close to Christmas. We only had enough for Food and Petrol to get to and from school until our application had gone through the benefit system.

 I felt like a bad mum because I could not be able to afford Christmas Presents as the only money I had was to pay for food and petrol.  I remember breaking down in tears in front of my mum and admitting buying Christmas Presents was not possible.  My mum was amazing and did buy them for us.  But deep deep inside if you cannot provide for your Children you feel a failure.  I couldn't have crashed my Children world of Santa wonderland, its so magical for them but for us, it was a nightmare.

 It was also an awful experience to loose our Car which was on finance.  Having Cars on finance was the norm to us,we had both had cars for 5 years and not missed a payment.  Missing 2 payments and we received a letter saying the car was being taken away.   Having to have some stranger come to our house ask us questions, give him the paperwork and Keys and having to take our Children's carseats out and let it go.  I had to be so strong, try not to cry, try not to feel like it was my fault, our fault.  I had to listen to my eldest Child asking when we would have our blue car back.  we had to be positive and think we have learned our lesson not to borrow money.

It was a hard time when we couldn't rent, when we were not entitled to help as the application hadn't gone through.  It was also tough when I had to pay the rent from a cheque my Grandma had given me.  It wasn't given to me for a months rent, it was intended to help get things we needed.  But we were in a time of need and it was the only option we had.  Infact it saved us from loosing our house as we had received a letter saying they wanted us out!

So this was a snippet of that time, but this time of struggle made us come to a decision that even working in employment to just pay the bills was not our reality.  It was not the reality we deserved.

So we made the decision, the decision to change our lives into a new reality.  Where we didn't worry about finances, paying Bills, the fact our Children could go swimming classes, Gynastics, Football whatever my little people were excited about.  We decided we deserved to be able to go on date nights because we could afford a babysitter, we knew we deserved to go on holidays, to take the Children Disney to see their little faces in amazement.  A life that we once dreamed about.

I know how hard it is to be a stay at home, having to look after Children is a demanding 'job' but when you are struggling financially, this is not right.  I want to inspire Mums especially that they can still be a Stay at home Mum, that they can afford a babysitter so they can go out for a massage, go the gym, whatever they want to do that relaxes them.  Each Mum needs a bit of time out, to think and appreciate what we have.

I want to show Mums that they can run an amazing business from home around their Children working only a few hours a day if they wanted too.  I want People to realise that they have to change their reality as no one else can do that for you.  You have got to make the decision to begin!

A Mum Can be a stay at home Mum and Run a successful Business, you just have to believe it, yes it may be hard at time but the result makes the journey so worth it.

I intend to Empower & Inspire Women to Dream Big and Find their Inner Sparkle.

I am a Founding Younique Presenter for the UK

So Exciting ....... Younique has now launched in the United Kingdom :)

For a few weeks now I decided that I couldn't turn the opportunity down as its so successful in the United States.  Plus I love makeup, what girly Girl doesn't?

On October the first at 10am Younique opened its website up for UK recruits, I had butterflies, I just knew that so many UK girls would be signing up.  So as soon as I saw the UK button I filled the form as fast as I could with a 1 year old causing mischief.  As soon as I pressed the Submit button I was so excited to recieve an update telling me I was 47th UK Younique Presenter.

Younique Corprate had predicted that the first 999 spots would be taken up in under 24 hours.  They were infact taken up in 26 minutes!! 

  I am so excited about this opportunity as it is exactly what I have been looking for the last year.  I love working with Women, I love inspiring mums especially that they don't have to either struggle in a job they hate, or the fact they want to be a stay at home mum.  Also to inspire the stay at home mums that struggle financially that they don't have to struggle.  

 I have been in another network marketing company that trains you on all the aspects on being a great entrepreneur so I can take away what I have learned and teach my team how to succeed. 

 I will be receiving my Younique Presenters Kit in about 3-5 days time so watch out for that blog Post.

My Mission in life..... is to Teach

 Since becoming a mum 5 years ago,  a lot of things changed in my life including my dreams, my desires.  Except one thing, my mission to teach others.

 Prior I wanted to teach Children in a Primary School, I even went to university for a year but realise it wasn't the path for me.

 When I got pregnant with Annabelle my plan was to go on maternity leave then become a child care assessor and teach adults to become nursery nurses or classroom assistants.

 When I had Annabelle that plan disappeared.

  I then KNEW what I wanted...  I wanted to be a stay at home mum.   I didn't want someone else looking after my daughter whilst I was out at work.  I didn't want to be earning my money and paying childcare near enough the same.  What was the point.  My daughter was only young once and I was not going to let work stop that special time.

 However as lovely as it is spending all day and night with your children it is also amazing to be bringing money into the household.

  Every path I take takes me to one thing I love, teaching.  Whether its teaching children or adults.  This time my mission is to teach others that there is a better way of life.

 I want to get my message to the people in the world that need to know that struggling each month to pay the bills shouldn't be their reality, that having to work and not spend time with their children does not have to be the only way.    I want to teach others that they can have an amazing life and a business they love, its not a dream it can be a reality.

My main mission comes from the heart, it is to show the mums out there that you can be a stay at home mum AND a work at home mum.  

 You do not have to choose work or stay at home, why not have both.  I know lots of mums that feel they have to work as its the only way to pay the bills, the mortgage but are sad and jealous that other mums can stay at home with their children.  Or stay at home mums that struggle to pay the bills, that don't have a lot of money to take their children to nice places, even playbarns.  

Whatever circumstance is not ideal for most mums.   I will show mums and teach them how to have a business and life they love.  This is my mission.
