November - Hosting annual get together with some Melbourne friends over the cup weekend (now our local council has decided to give us the day off as well)
December - we will are off to Ireland for christmas with family and friends so this will make our 2010 very exicting as we have something at the end of the year to look forward to.

For the missing months - much the same as everyone else - business building

M = Happy = SHOES!!!
You go girl! Congrats on the wedding too!!!
Great to hear you have soooo many exciting plans for 2010!
Actually, great to hear everyone has!

Me?
Uh ... car first! See if I can get a loan ???
This will determine whether the kids and I will stay at their school - it's in another suburb near our OLD house. Great school, but I am late every morning due to the traffic/lights etc!
Or will I need to change schools, and start walking ...
Might have to start looking for a new rental house too, next year. Moving out of this house when the lease is up in April (or before IF I can find something), as I am getting heat rash and headaches EVERY day due to the weather atm. No insulation, no fans and no air con =( It's horrid! Can't function, and need naps in the arvo due to the heat!
Business wise, I already have 5 Intimo bookings for January, 2 so far in Feb (probably more!)
February is looking SO booked out for Stampin Up! as it's Sale a bration time, and FREE stamp sets promo!
So, next year, I will be still trying to work out what I'm supposed to be doing with myself, and what life has in store for me ... but at least I'm not bored while trying to figure it out!
LOL!

Congratulations M on letting that man make an honest woman out of you, also for choosing a field that is close to your heart.....or your feet

And Vin, I feel your unairconditioned pain, it is a cooler climate here but there is nothing worse than sitting inside and its hotter than outside! I get this in summer here also. Good luck with your changes.

And to all of you a safe, happy and prosperous new year and enjoy your holidays if you get them.

The year 2010 will be the first year in our family life that there has been no university study.  John graduates from QUT next Thursday with a Masters in Engineering.  I am very proud............and happy to have my husband back for funtimes and family duties (read here camping weekends, dinners out, movies, etc)

My beautiful girls will be in Grades 1 and 4 respectively.

January 2010 is the month that I will visit my Dr.  Something I have been putting off for 18 months but it needs to be done now. (Watch this space....)

I hope to have our reno finished by the end of the year so that we can sell this house and take a 3 month sojourn to Europe and Africa.

Foodie Parties doubled in size in 2009 so I am hoping we double again in 2010, and to expand more into some of the regional areas of Australia.  Will spend most of the year in product development and in developing strategies to streamline our business.

My goals for 2010 are to take care of myself more, be joyous and be more organised to make the best use of my time.

Congratulations M to you  and F !  I hope that you have the wedding that you both want and it is everything you wish it to be.  As for the new biz,  I know that you probably know everything, but if you have any questions that you think I may be able to help you with, don't hesitate to get in touch AND MOST IMPORTANTLY let me know when you launch so that I can promote your business within my own.

You go for it Rich with your business !  if its head down and bum up and you have a clear goal in mind it will happen !

Vin !  You know what.................if you want all these things to happen, you just have to make them happen; decide what's really important, set some priorities and just make these things happen for you.

Bronwyn, Hi.............Its going to be fun !  Kids are great and with your eldest strating school that is just going to open up a whole new world of contacts for you.  All those mummies !!!  Get involved and get to know them.  Wish you all the very best with choosing a PP business.................it needs to be something that you can find passion with.

So Michelle, whats 2010 hold for you ?????????

Cheers

Boy everyone does sound busy and all the best for those ladies with their own business. Hey Mel, I plan to increase my loyal customers through my online store. I'm not planning to join any other companies soon but currently considering SOC for personal reasons (birthdays, christmas) as well as for management within my team and keeping them updated.
As for my own company, the planning stages are all systems go. I meet with the two promised investors this year as we plan for the opening in the year ahead. I look forward to trying the products and hope some others can join me in doing so? We are also considering simple electronics for the range, but all to be questioned in our meeting in 2010.
I am quite excited for 2010 as I believe it will be my time to shine. Of course with your plans as well girls, I'm sure you'll feel the same.
The economy is back up and running and for once a drive in sales will come our way. I have already seen a difference these past few months. So Can't wait for 2010.
Thanks for asking Mel,
Michelle xx

Ladywytch replied:

Thanks guys, we have actually been engaged for like 6 years but feel it is about time to take the next giant leap. 

Thanks Mel, will keep you in mind for sound advise and Richy too - not that she knows it yet - oops guess she does now. LOL

You all look to be fantastically busy next year.

As wonderful as that is - I ask you to do this one thing - if you don't already.

Take 1 hour each day for yourself, let this be your hour to regroup, recharge and rebalance.

Come on it's just an hour, you have another 23 to get done what you have to do.

You all need it and deserve it.

Take a walk, take a long bath, read a book (NOT A BUSINESS ONE), just take that 1 hour and you will be surprised hour it works.

You all know I am a great fan of Tony Robbins and he put me on to this - he calls it his Hour Of Power and he is dead on.  At first, I thought , I can't afford that much time just for me now I get grouchy if I don't take it.

I do wish you all, no matter what you have planned for 2010, safety, health and happiness,peace in your lives.

Congratulations M on the up and coming big Day.

I like the " hour of power" terminology. Will do it!!

I really believe 2010 will be an amazing year. I know Business will get stronger.. Sales and bonus and team growth all increased from previous years and that was in the doom and gloom. Now that the ecomomy is brighter and more positive, it will be my chance to double.

On a personal level we are moving into our dream home end of January, my daughter is starting in her first year of high school and my youngest is changing schools.

My husbands 40th birthday is this year and I have known him since he was 17years.. It will be our first year without our Dad as well.

2009 has seen me grow and become a stronger person.  2009 was an amazing year growth wise and I found strengths inside me I thought I never had.

So I am grateful for the good and bad,the hard and easy of life as it all has a purpose in life.

Lots of blessings for everyone.

Love Marina 

It will be a great 2010.

Shaun replied:

Congratulations M on your upcoming big day. I look forward to reading about how it went.

2009 was probably the biggest year of my life. I sold up everything I had and moved the family 900km north. We went from living the typical full on city life to living on a farm up in the mountains. Did you know that milk does not come from a carton??? I do now.

Living where we are does not allow me to go back into my old traditional business so 2010 will see me really focusing on my MLM and PP businesses. I'm really excited by this and the locals seem really responsive to direct sales. I suppose it has something to do with not having any local shops .....

Best Wishes and best of luck to everyone in 2010

Shaun

Full swing now, school will be back soon so hopefully you are all hyped for a great business year. Any other goals...we will dredge this up again at the end of the year...like a time capsule

FM-Fragrances-Australia-World replied:

Hi all,

Sexxxxxxy, how is your car?????? If like mine, I know the answer :)

I have already helped another three people this year become FM Fragrance members, and really happy that I am able to help them along their journey. It's an honour really for people to choose YOU/ME to be their guide/mentor.

So my first and foremost goal, is never to let me team down, and if I do at any time, tell me please :)

Second goal - to spend more time on FM Fragrances, and help New Zealand grow.

Third Goal - to somehow fit everything in that I do, plus have some me time as well, as that is very important.

Fourth Goal - Be happy :)

SexxxyThingz replied:

I was hoping for more participation here, if you are new please post , no more lurking. Get your goals out there, I will be dredging this up in a year and we will see how we went and how we can improve if we didnt quite make it ☻

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight,
thirty or thirty-one different parts,
but don't make the whole batch at once.

Prepare it one day at a time
out of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience
one part of courage
and one part of work

Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and meditation,
and one good deed.
Season with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness
and you will enjoy a Happy New Year = )

What a beautiful way to face the year ahead.

I will certainly be printing this out and putting it above my desk.

Thankyou, dear lady.

StampinUp replied:

For sharing this! I too will be printing this out as a reminder that it is just one day at a time ...
I don't know what this year has in store for me ... I am feeling a bit floored (for lack of a better word) and don't really know what I'm going to be doing after having so many personal dramas over the Christmas/New Years break ...
I have 2 new recruits!!! One for Intimo, and one for Stampin Up! so, it might be a great time for me to take on a lot less than what I was intending to before this all happened ... and re evaluate what I am wanting to do.
Watch this space for updates I guess!
