Where oh where is our Marina...

ExMember148 replied:

Yes she is very conspicious by her absence!!! We love you Marina!! Where are you and your words of wisdom?? 

marina replied:

I am here. I am here. I haven't disappeared.. I am addicted like you all.....

I have stopped posting because I though I would take a back step a bit..

I love to post stories of my shows and recruits and my successes but sometimes it feels I am ""talking"  or bragging too much and  thought I  would give others the chance to do some posting..

Everyday this business brings me something and it is going from strength to strength and I am over the moon. ( and I can post and post ) , but just recently I have felt a bit uncomfortable posting my stories.

I can sense a couple of ladies that do not like me.. and I guess it is the confidence factor getting to me.

I have posted a couple of stories that I thought were good and interesting  but after seeing 10 views and no response well I deleted it.. Did not think anyone was interested or cared...

I will post the next glitter to everyone on my mailing list. It will be an awesome edition with the seminar photos and awards......

I am still logging on everyday.. I will post a bit, but not as much as I used to....

ciao

Just wanted to let you know marina that I for 1 really enjoyed reading about your success stories,  plus all your motivation etc.   

HandsOn replied:

What a pity Marina, i love reading your sucess stories. They really motivate me - esp as you have come so far so quickly!! Please don't let those people get to you - there is a vast majority of us that do love to read your posts, sometimes i know speaking for myself anyway, i just do not know what to say in response to threads!

Smile. :) xx

Hi Marina!

I've found all your posts to be insperational and helpful! Stuff those who are jealous, that's their problem, not yours! I'm sure those that care outweigh those who are jealous! I am one of those who is just a viewer most of the time, because I don't know what to say or what I would say sounds stupid on paper lol, but I love reading your posts, makes me think harder about what I can do to do better!

Good luck with it all!
Megan

ExMember148 replied:

Yes Marina !!! Exactly !! I can hear the echo of many members sentiments.

I don't really think 'stuff those that are jealous' is exactly the right attitude - this whole site is to support one another and grow your networking skills and other abilities.  I think, perhaps, members should post at least half of the amount of views they make!!!  Otherwise, yes regular posters do get the ho-hums, why bother!! (sorry Marina just hijacked your post for a minute!)

chiccabee replied:

Hey,

I didn't actually mean it like that and I understand how it could have been read like that. I'm not sure how to explain what I meant properly so I won't bother. I'm not great with words, so I'm so very sorry for stating my opinion (with bad wording) in the first place.

Thanks.

Hi Im only new to this site and new to my party plan so I love to hear success stories so that maybe I can learn from it and become inspired. I dont know you Marina but I can see that you're doing great things with your party plan and I think thats terrific and if your willing to share what works for you then gee..... I wanna hear!

We all get in the dumps every so  often, thats normal behaviour and I think its therapeutic to have a good ol' whinge every so often and get off our chest. But after that its people  like Marina and their stories of success that can lift us and help us get back on track.

I look forward to seeing your posts again Marina

Angel replied:

I agree with the others Marina - don't stop posting, we all enjoy hearing of the success of others, and I think for those new to party plan, it lets them know that they also can make their business into a success.

And you never come across to me as bragging - you are simply sharing your success to inspire others - that's how I see it. Besides - you should be proud of your achievements, you're doing very well.

l

But as Handson said, sometimes people just don't know what to say, or sometimes they may not feel the need to say anything - they just read and are inspired by posts like yours.

l

So keep them coming. I've been here for a little while now, but I don't post very much. But I always like to read stories like yours - even if I don't reply. You have made me realize that I really should contribute more often. I'll try too from now on, LOL.

Lancer replied:

I too love to read your posts Marina! You and Kelly are my favorite 'posters'.
The information and experience you provide is always positive, uplifting and inspirational. I especially love that both yourself and Kelly respect others opinions and can offer constructive advice.
I don't post very often because I don't have the wonderful gift being able to express myself clearly, that Marina and Kelly have. Which is actually one of the reasons I started doing PP - to boost my confidence in speaking to groups and initiating conversations.

Another reason is that I often come to this site looking for ideas and as [ExMember148] so often says 'Try a search first'. I find that everything has already been discussed and there are heaps of  great ideas and solutions to problems on this site. I don't need to ask any questions - the answers are already there.

I respect that you feel the need to step back Marina. I look forward to seeing you back when you are ready.

scrappy replied:

Hi I am just new to the site too, and what would a site like this be if we all stopped sharing our success? Be proud of what you have achieved and share it with everyone! You never know who you might inspire! Please keep posting ALL the succsess you achieve!!!

noone replied:

I concur - I love to read Marina's posts, I try to respond to as many posts as I can but with Cam climbing all over me it makes it difficult... He's at the stage where he wants to type and click the mouse too.

Marina, your posts show us (both old and new ppers) that this industry can be very very lucrative and productive, and that it is possible to earn great success with it.  Just looking at your bonus cheque grow each month is motivation enough for some members!!! When I go through a slow patch I re-read many of your posts to remind myself that it IS possible to achieve great things through direct sales and party plan.

jenlerose replied:

Marina, don't let any others words affect you.  Please be your wonderful inspiring self and continue to post on these boards.  You are a true mentor just as the little verse that you posted in motivational quotes says:

mentoring.

'Mentoring is pouring your life into other people and helping them reach their potential. The power of mentoring is so strong that you can actually see the lives of the persons you are influencing change before your eyes.'
 

Take care,

Jen

I love reading your posts.  I think that the fact that you have done so well truly inspiring and I adore reading your success stories etc.  I agree with everbody else, keep those posts coming.  You go to show what can be done!

P.S.  I also like reading [ExMember148]'s posts, I find her posts refreshing and making me wish that I had her strong personality.

Snazza replied:

I just wanted to add my ten cents worth. Please dont let other people take away any of your confidence Marina. You really are an inspiration to many people on here. I absolutely love reading your posts. Good to know you are still around out there....... :)

Snazza

biancaj replied:

I agree Marina,

I love reading your posts!  I also love getting the glitter magazines too!

Just because people don't reply straight away, doesn't mean that they don't care, and I for one will get around to reading things... just not all on the same day.

Keep the inspiration coming.  It certainly isn't bragging!!!

Marina I think this thread and the number of replies in it speaks for itself. your regular inspirational posts are definatly missed !

Keep posting away and those who appear not to like what you say can just be ignored. We don't have to like what everyone says but it shouldn't stop any of us from posting.

I read all your posts, some i reply to some I just read and think about.

 Thankyou  to Kathy, Hush Hush,oo1ivey, Handson, mally, chicabee, charmaine, Kerry, Lancer, Scrappy, camsmum. jenlerose, aussiemum of 3 , snazza, beedelighted. Ck kath.

I want to thank you wonderful ladies for your very inspiring comments to this thread...  I am overwhelmed to say the least. I really had no idea and you girls have made my day!

Anyway I will get back into posting at a later date. I feel taking a break is the right thing for now. 

In the meantime have fun at your parties and just keep growing your business.

Never lose sight of your goals.

Party plan is the best!!!!!!!!
