(Janene) My name’s Janene, and I joined Close To My Heart
years ago when my family and I had moved to a new state
and we were struggling financially.
We were starting over and we needed a little extra money.
I didn’t want to put my daughter in daycare,
but I wanted to help out my family.
So, I remembered a stamping party that I hosted for a friend of mine before I moved
and I thought “I can totally do that!”
So I found a Consultant in my area and I signed up right away.
When I first started, I had three main goals.
The first was to earn a little extra income.
The second was to do that without putting my daughter in daycare.
And third was to get a discount on
the stamping and scrapbook products that I loved.
My first paycheck was small,
especially by today’s standards.
But it was mine! I earned it.
And best of all, I did it doing something that was fun!
When I saw that first commission check,
I didn’t see dollars,I saw potential.
And even if I worked a little bit more, I could earn a little bit more,
and that could do amazing things for my family.
As a leader there are two main ways that I earn income.
First, through my personal sales.
And second, through my team commissions.
I earn 22% instant commission with every sale that I make,
and that goes all the way up to 34%
based on my personal sales volume within a month.
The second way I earn money is through team commissions.
When I share the business opportunity and help someone else start their
own successful business, in return I earn a commission off of their sales.
It’s a wonderful partnership and a great program.
I’m often asked how I earn my personal sales.
I do that through home parties or what
Close To My Heart calls “Home Gatherings.”
This is my opportunity to demonstrate the fabulous,
exclusive products that we have.
I get to meet new friends, new customers,
prospective hostesses, and potential new consultants,
and it also gives me the chance to share my monthly clubs.
Let me tell you about my scrapbook clubs.
I love my clubs.
This is the most favorite part of my business.
A club is a time when the same group of customers
get together every month.
We laugh, we have a good time,
and I get to teach new techniques.
And it’s their time to create finished scrapbook pages
and cards to take home.
This is one of the things I love
about Close To My Heart.
We all have busy lives.
We all have memories and photos to scrapbook.
And I give them the time, the place, the skills,
and the amazing products to cherish those memories
that are important to them.
And in return I have consistent sales, month after month.
It’s one of the unique aspects ofClose To My Heart
that I couldn’t find in any other home based business.
All those years ago, I didn’t know there was a leader inside me.
But today I have a consultant team of
almost 600 and we’re still growing.
We cover 34 states, and that’s exciting to be a part of.
It’s been fun and easy,
and more rewarding than I ever dreamed of.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
You might wonder how many hours I work each week in my business.
I work between two and four hours a day
and I get to choose when that is.
I have some team members who work one or two hours a week
and others who work thirty or more hours a week.
The beauty of that is we get to choose when we want to work
based on what works for our family.
It’s important for me to be involved in my
children’s lives and in their school.
I don’t ever want to miss one of their activities.
I don’t want to miss one of their field trips,
and I want to be part of their education.
And this flexibility allows me that.
The financial rewards with Close To My Heart have been many.
They started out small and they’ve grown over time.
At first it was to help pay bills and provide some extra necessities.
To now, I’m able to travel the world with my husband,
and we’ve been able to build our beautiful dream home.
My husband and I always wanted to build our dream home
but didn’t know if that could be a reality.
And because of Close To My Heart, it is.
I now live in a gorgeous, custom home that I love.
And it’s my bill to pay every month.
It’s the one check I write with a big smile on my face,
and as a woman that’s so empowering.
You know, I’m a regular woman.
I volunteer with the PTA. I hang out with my kids.
I bake cookies. I love to scrapbook.
But I’m also a leader and a successful business owner.
I love this company.
I love the products. I love my team.
And honestly, I love my paycheck. I just do!
And I’m on track to be a six-figure earner,
because of this opportunity.
Your dreams may be different than mine,
but there is a way to fulfill them.
There’s potential in me, there’s potential in you,
because there’s potential in Close To My Heart.
