My Y BHAG

Guys. I am tired. It’s currently 11:30 PM and normally I am up and WIDE AWAKE. Tonight I am sleepy. But, it’s been a week since I have been home from convention. And I haven’t updated you with my takeaways. My goals. My dreams. My fire. These are the things that I have been excited to talk about but somehow still have been stuck on actually writing it out. I’m sorry it has taken this long to hop back on this blog and share.
Convention was amazing. I think it’s safe to say it is officially my favorite time of year. It’s exhausting,and there are A LOT of things that get packed into 3 days, but it’s such a rewarding 3 days. Product announcements, inspirational speakers, trainings from industry elites, time with your team, social events, nights out, so much free swag… It is seriously SO much fun.

Melanie Huscroft (our co-founder) closed out our final session with a challenge. She asked us to write out our BHAG. If you are thinking what the heck? So was I. I was even giggling at the way it sounded. But, for those who don’t know BHAG stands for
Big
Hairy
Audacious
Goal

Goals that make you a little anxious. Goals that make your heart skip a beat. Goals that seem SO big, SO far reaching, SO almost impossible. Like wow. THAT would be the day.

She challenged us to write them down, and then go after them.
So of course, what is a blogger to do? Write it out and share it with you guys.

My Y BHAG.
-Immediate goal for this upcoming year…
*Walk the stage as a green status ELITE presenter at the next convention in Denver, CO. (I am currently pink…Shooting past pink, past blue, and going straight for green.)
-Future goals within the next 5 years.
*Black status level.
*Catalog model.
*Earn the incentive trips to treat my hubby to all expense paid vacay.

These are the tangible goals that I have set in my mind, and that are so confirmed in my heart. I am right where I need to be. This company, and these opportunities are going to allow me the freedom of more time with my family. In chasing after these goals, I know and believe my life will change even more than it already has. Other women who will come alongside me in this journey — their life is going to change as well. That’s the beauty of this company. I am not going to succeed unless others are succeeding right their along with me.
These goals are SO MUCH MORE than about ME. As I list them, it’s hard for me to put the focus on myself. That is not in my personality. Yes recognition feels good. Rewards for hard work are a GREAT motivation. But at the sincerest most tender part of my heart, my goals have nothing to do with me, and everything to do with those I care about the most.
I want to be able to provide for my family in a way that doesn’t compromise my quality time with them.
Although he never asks, or expects anything of me, the feeling that I can help lighten the load of the responsibility John has as the provider of our family is a good feeling. Early retirement or being available to travel more? I’d be good with that. 🙂
Recruiting new women to my team, and sharing with them the life changing confidence and energy that you get from this company. Priceless!
Being able to share an opportunity to a mom, grandma, sister, friend. To give them the same chance to share something they love, and then get paid just THREE hours later. Because our founder didn’t want us to have to wait for that payment. If we needed gas, or groceries, or that outfit for our kiddos we could go get it, that SAME day. I mean honestly what kind of company does that?
The company that cares about it’s women. The company that uplifts, validates, and empowers women every single day.

I’m so thankful for this company, for Derek & Melanie, and for the fact that I said yes to this opportunity 3 years ago. I am so thrilled about the journey ahead, and ready to show up and put in the work every single day.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for your support!
