Time for the Mid-September Mid-Week Scoop!


Little different format, isn't this?
Did you notice? :)

One of the things I love is consistency. One of the things I hate is when programs aren't effective or don't work well.

I've used Mad Mimi to send all of our Mid- Week Scoops up to this point, but I continually get feedback that the email is going to Spam or, when I run my report, see that less than 1/3 of you lovelies are opening it. These things combined have made me start to hate Mad Mimi. 😂

So here we are, shifting "delivery" systems again 
until I get it right and it works like I want it to. 

Why? Because that's just a part of business. We try one thing, it doesn't work, so we try something else. It would be easy for me to say that no one is reading it, 
responding or using it, so why bother, right? 
 Because that's what we want to say when it comes to our business, isn't it?

But the truth is often it isn't what we are sharing that isn't working,
 but HOW we are sharing it.

Mad Mimi isn't working (and it costs me money so that's a double whammy), 
so I'm trying something else. You could do research on ANY giant business in the world today, any invention or any person you'd deem successful 
and see the same outline in place. 
Try, fail, try again, fail, keep trying... until it's successful. 

When you aren't getting the response you want, don't just quit. 
Try something else until it's right. Try multiple avenues
You have customers and potential customers who want to see what you have to offer. 
They want the products you sell and even the opportunity to do it themselves even. 
You just have to be sure you're delivering it they way they can get a hold of it whether that means social media, private messages, email, home parties, basket parties, and so on.
 If it's not working, change the delivery. 

So here we are. Trying something new. Something I hope will serve you well as I work to help you build successful businesses. 
Thanks for being patient along the way as I work to get it right.

An entrepreneurial spirit has always been at the heart of everything Scentsy does —along with upholding your ability to build a business that fits your lifestyle. So, we’re proud to announce that on Sept. 18, we’ll be active participants in Direct Selling Day on Capitol Hill, hosted by the Direct Selling Association (DSA).
Scentsy executives and Consultants, along with more than 125 direct selling distributors and executives from 18 other direct selling companies across the U.S., will be in Washington, D.C., to encourage Congress to protect the business model that supports Scentsy Consultants and all direct sellers nationwide.
 Direct Selling Day is part of the DSA’s broader efforts to urge passage of House Resolution 3522 (the Preserving the Direct Seller Independence Act), which will protect direct sellers’ status as independent contractors under federal labor law.
Why is this important?

We need your help!

How to stay out of Facebook Jail while building your small business



Being in Direct Sales, social media can be a fantastic tool for growing my business. It can also be a great hindrance, specifically when it comes to Facebook and the every changing algorithm game. 
What is an algorithm you ask? Well, in simple terms, it is an equation Facebook uses to determine what information you are most likely to enjoy seeing or reading. It uses different factors, like who you tend to interact with or posts you tend to "like" to bump up similar posts in your feed when you log on.
It also works to keep things like spam and posts from businesses bumped down in importance in your feed. Did you catch that? Businesses.
The intent of this algorithm isn't all bad. Facebook wants to keep the purpose of it's platform centered around meaningful interactions and relationships and less junk. We all are happy for less junk, right? But it does mean that when you choose to build your small business using this platform, you'll need to play by their rules to be successful.
When you don't play by the rules, your customers, friends and family won't see the posts you're working hard to share and, in the worst cases, you can end up in Facebook jail for a period of time. 
So here we are, with some tips on how to not only stay out of Facebook jail, but create content that builds those meaningful interactions that keep your posts front and center in your customer's feed.
Let's dive in!
1. Create unique posts.
  Don’t be a copy and paste Patsy. If you like how a fellow consultant has written a post, use it like an outline for your own instead of copying and pasting it word for word.  If the post doesn’t sound like how you would talk or like other posts you make, your customers will see right through it and it will feel inauthentic. Your customers want your words. Not the words of someone else. You also don't want to accidentally minimize the original poster's content. If you have mutual friends who see the same post content, you don't just create a disconnect for your post, but also for theirs. 
  Being a C/P Patsy also raises a red flag for Facebook as being spam. If they see multiple people sharing the exact same thing, they’ll bump it down in importance in the feed which causes fewer people to see what you’re sharing. Keeping your posts unique and personal to you creates a deeper connection with your potential customer base. 

2. Share your own pictures (instead of using google or borrowing them from someone else)
   We know this isn’t always possible, so this isn't a hard, fast rule, but when you can create your own pictures, do it!  Snap a picture of how you're using the products in your home, car or out and about. If you go to an event where displays of product are set up, snap your own pics to use in your social media posting. You might even slap a "watermark" with your website on it to help it stay yours.
   If you would like to use pictures someone else is sharing, private message them and ask if it’s okay for you to borrow and use. DO NOT ask in the comments on the post the person made. It is distracting to customers and can mess up their flow. We want to respect each other's businesses, right? 
(Note: If you are a part of my Scentsy team, any images I share in the Kickin’ Wicks Commons group or on the Collective are for you use, so you don’t have to ask me to use them. 😉)

3. Show them YOU!
  When you do share your own pics, get yourself in them! Whether it’s your face, your kids, your pets, or whatever, people will slow their scroll if they see something personal to you. Think about your own scrolling habits. If you were flipping along and saw a picture of a dog, you may glance a second and keep on moving. But, if you saw a picture of your friend and her dog, you'll stop and see what it's about. Faces bring connection to a person/family, not just a sales post.
 Yes, post them even if you’re looking a hot mess. People relate to you for a reason. Show them how you’re using Scentsy. This also keeps your post unique and its way less likely to be tagged as any kind of spam by the FB algorithm because others won’t be using them as their own and it will keep your info posts where your customers get to see them. Now, this doesn't give you permission to be unprofessional, so don't go all crazy, but real life is okay.


4. Don’t get crazy playing tag.

   Facebook HATES mass tagging.
It is the quickest way to red flag your post as spam. Not only that, but rarely do people pay attention to something they've been tagged in with 100 other people. It automatically feels like they're "just a number" instead of someone important.
 Instead, private message the people you want to be sure see your post. Not only does it protect you from FB jail, but it is also more personal and makes sure they won't miss it. If you do want to tag, just pick a few people. 


5. Speaking of private messages...
   Finally, don’t sit down and send 100 private messages in one sitting by copying and pasting the same message to everyone. This is another "Do not pass go, do not collect $200" thing to do. Any message or post or photo sent to multiple people at the same time can easily land you in a Facebook timeout.
Avoid Facebook jail and only send messages to a handful of friends and remember to space out your messages. Again, Facebook is after meaningful connection, so create it. 

We hope this helps you make the most of Facebook as a platform for your business. Remember not to put all of your eggs in Facebook’s basket. Use other forms of social media and connection or you’ll be putting your business in a box it will never grow out of. -Amanda

Eat. Sleep. Craft- EASY Burlap Door Hanger






A few years ago I attended a get together at a friend's house where we learned how to make the craft I'm going to share with you today. 
It was simple, it was fun and the best part was that you have to have ZERO crafting ability
 to be able to do it. While I LOVEEEEEE to craft, I know it isn't every one's jam.

But this one- it's for everyone!

This burlap door hanger project made for the perfect project for a recent team get together I hosted in my home with my Scentsy team. In my team, we really try and nurture a culture of connection and relationships. We aren't just fellow consultants, but a family. We help each other, cheer one another on and, well, sometimes we do crafts together.



It would also be a super fun theme for a Scentsy party with a host, MOPS project 
or just you and your friends getting together to hang out and share life together.

Because this clever idea was shared with me, I wanted to pass it on to you! 
I hope you'll find it's super simple to create and your options are endless! 

Let's get to do business and show you how to make these no sew burlap door hangers, shall we?

What you'll need:


Burlap material  (I purchased 3 yards from Walmart and was able to make approx. 12- 12" pumpkins with some small scraps to spare)
Craft paint (can be found for .50 at Walmart. Cheap paint is okay here)
Foam brushes (I grabbed a multi-pack from Hobby Lobby with different sizes and shapes 
for $3.99. Oh and don't forget that coupon)
Stapler(s) and staples: (if you are doing this in a group, the more staplers you have, the better. 
Hot glue guns are another option)
Raffia, ribbons, or bows to use for finishing touches (Dollar Tree has a great assortment)
Floral wire (I grabbed colored wire from  the craft section at Dollar Tree so my guests had options) 
Packing paper or plastic sacks for stuffing
(this is where being a Scentsy consultant comes in handy. We ALWAYS have packing paper)


First, you're going to decide what you're going to make. We chose pumpkins for this event.
 I free-handed a pumpkin onto a piece of paper until I got the shape I wanted and then outlined it with a sharpie onto the burlap to cut. The sky is the limit on what you can create. While we did pumpkins to welcome Fall, my oldest daughter did this cute cacti & our imaginations are running wild 
with all the ideas we have for future craft parties.


 I will say that the simpler the shape, the easier this will be. 
(You could also print an image outline out on paper to trace onto your burlap) 


Making sure your burlap is folded in half, you will trace your image onto the material 
and then cut it out. Sharp scissors here people! You should have two identical pieces.


Continue this process until you have enough shapes for your guests.

Then, set one piece aside and begin to paint the other. Your imagination is your guide! Paint it straightforward or get crazy!  At our paint party, some went classic orange and coppers and some did polka dots and plaid. It was so fun to see each person's creativity!


When painting, it may take two coats to get a full even layer of paint. Of course, we love the rustic feel of it not being a solid color as it gives a more weathered, vintage feel.
You will go through a lot of paint as the burlap soaks it up, so be patient with this process.

Allow base coat to dry and reapply or add your details.
Sharpies work great for lettering as does, small paint brushes. 



Once completely set, lay the front piece on top of the back piece and beginning around the top, 
start stapling around your edges about 1/2" inside the edge. Don't go all the way around
 as you want to leave a gap to stuff your filler in.
 You can leave a little bit of gap between staples
as long as there isn't too much room for the filler to sneak out. 

Then, start stuffing.
Using your packing paper or plastic bags, fill your hanger until it is full and gives you
 the desired effect. Then, finish stapling around your design. 
You can use hot glue guns for this as well, just watch those fingers 
as the glue will seep through the weave in the burlap.


Finally, taking a 6"-8" piece of floral wire, attach your hanger. You will do this by threading each end through the top of the back of your design, curing the ends with wire cutters
 to make sure it doesn't slide out.  You could also omit the wire and use it for a cute porch pillow.

Then, add a bow, raffia or any other embellishment and you are done!




Have you given this craft a try? We'd love to see your pictures!
Also, don't forget to pin this craft so you can find it again later!

Happy Crafting! - Amanda

Hold the door open- Sharing the Scentsy Opporunity

Imagine for a moment what life would look like if no one had shared Scentsy with you. Think of the paychecks you would have missed, the trips you wouldn't have been able to take and the connections you wouldn't have in your life. 

Now think about all the people inside and outside of your circle who are in that place right now. Think about the people you know who would be so great at what you do. They have a fun personality or love people or maybe you just know that making money on the side would be a huge blessing to their family.


So what's the hold up on asking them to join your team? You know how much value it's added to your life, what's keeping you from giving them that same opportunity?Likely, the first things that came to mind was the fear of being told no or not knowing what to say.


So let's quickly address the first so we can get to the second. I have GREAT news!No Scentsy consultant ever died from being told no. Isn't that awesome? Did they feel awkward for a moment? Maybe. Did that moment pass and life go on? Yep!Don’t let a few no’s stop you, not everyone will be interested in what you are offering and that is okay! We want to work with those who want, love and need what we have to offer. I can promise you there are plenty of people out there that do love, want and need what you have to offer.


Best case- you share the opportunity and they say "I've actually been thinking about that!"Worse case- you just told someone you believed in them in enough that you thought they could run a business. There is nothing negative about that. Even if they say no. No isn't a representation of you. No is... life is super busy and they don't feel like they can do it in that season. No is...I'm not sure I can afford it. No is...I don't think I have what it takes/I'm not a salesman/I don't know anyone.Know what? You can relieve all of those concerns. If someone says no, say "I understand. May I ask why you think it may not be for you?" and then answer to them.


Also don't solely focus on the paycheck aspect. While for some, that will be what they are after, for others, the idea of traveling the world, or building relationships will be the appeal. Ask what they'd want from this business and tell them how it could meet that desire.

Remember that truly successful marketing always starts with serving others and building relationships. This means you want to focus on how you can help them, what solutions and services you can offer and provide to the person.  


Ask open-ended questions and questions that get them thinking. This means questions that require something other than a yes or no answer. This helps the conversation continue to flow and builds rapport and connection.


Another key tip is to be positive and think positive. Assume that they are going to be receptive, excited and accept what you have to offer. If not, don’t take it personally.
When you are focused on serving others, you have nothing to fear because you are offering them something of value.


Don't forget to follow up after making that initial contact and also to have some some fun opportunity packets ready to send out. Being prepared will give you confidence to take the next step. An opportunity packet may include a catalog, scent circle or sample, more about any current join specials happening, your story and maybe even info about how you and the company will support/train them. 


Now, what to say?  First and foremost, be authentic. DO NOT copy and paste what someone else has said and send it or post it without first editing it to sound like you. That feels super inauthentic and people can smell a copy and paste direct seller from a mile away. 
People don't want a carbon copy consultant. They want you. Who you are and what you have to offer. 

Below are a few sample scripts & word choices you can use to give you some ideas and a successful start when talking with people about your business. 


Example #1:“Hey ______! I was sitting down and working on my Scentsy business today & as I was looking at our $15 join special this month, your name popped into my mind. I’m not sure if this is something you’ve ever considered before, but I think you would be really great at what I do. Would it be okay for me to send some goodies for you to take a look at that kind of explain what that takes & how I’d do my best to support you along the way? No strings attached?  (Then you will either message or mail more info their way. Don’t forget to note that you did this in AMI or somewhere else so you can follow up in a couple of days and see if they have any questions.) Example #2:“Hey ______! I’m working on getting our brand new catalogs mailed out to my favorite customers and when I got to your name, I got to thinking about how much I’d love to have you on my team. You (insert something about their personality you admire here) and I think that would be an awesome quality in a consultant. I would be here to train and mentor you every step & we would have a blast together! Is it something you’ve ever thought about doing? 


Hold the door of opportunity open for someone today.

Just us...





I remember the first time I left our oldest with my in-laws to go for our first overnight trip.
I remember the mom guilt. The MASSIVE, what will she do without me, mom guilt.

Then I remember the first time I left for a weekend trip after we had our second. "I'm the worst mom ever!" I thought. How selfish of me to think it was ok to leave and just go off on a trip with my husband like I didn't have little ones to take care of.

And then... then there was the first week we took away to travel to Cancun for a Scentsy leadership trip. Besides having to get on a plane, I remember just feeling like I was betraying my whole sense of motherhood by being there spending relaxing, even romantic time away with my husband.

How crazy was that? I was so wrapped up in this idea of what motherhood or parenthood was supposed to be that I felt GUILTY for putting the health of my marriage BEHIND my kids.

That was then, but this is now.

Now, we look for opportunities to sneak away. Whether it's a quick overnight somewhere or an Amtrak ride in the Fall from Chicago to Boston like we did last Fall.
Not to get away from our kids or our jobs as parents, but to be just us. Just Josh and Amanda. Just as we started.
ow
Now before I go any further, I know we could get into a whole debate about so many parts to this. In fact, even as I type, I worry about how someone will twist my words to fit their agenda. Whatever that agenda might be. Truth be known- I can't know how you'll take it or what you'll do with it. I can only pray that God makes the intention of my heart known through my words.
Don't abandon your kids. Don't use this as an excuse to not raise them. If you know me, you know that I'm almost at helicopter mom status myself. I won't call it airplane status, because I hate planes, but you get the drift.

But I digress..


Next Summer, we will have been married 19 years. On the cusp of that big 20 year mark which is just crazy to think about. (Yes, we were basically babies when we got married).

Over the last 18+ years, we have learned a lot about each other as individual people, in our roles as spouses and in our roles as parents. Heck, we learn every day I think.  We've had great years and we've had seasons where we barely held on by a thread. Both in parenting and in our marriage.

Truth is, for a season, I got so caught up in trying to be the "perfect" mom, that I forgot I was his wife first and that, when in 4 years, our oldest is ready to go off to college and then in another 4 when our youngest does the same, it will just be he and I again. Just Josh and Amanda. Just us. I thought that putting God first, kids second and him third was how it was supposed to be. Haven't you thought that too? I mean, it makes sense...except it absolutely doesn't.



It's why trips like this are important. It's why the intentional time invested into "just us" is vital. To be JUST Josh and Amanda. Not K & A's mom and dad. Not employee or leader. Not business owner or volunteer firefighter. Just simply he and I.

That day is going to come. The "empty nest" of our job raising adults having been completed when they'll be living their own lives, building their own dreams and doing big things. When all is said and done, what will be left of Josh and I. Just us?

Well, hopefully, because we have been intentional with our time over the years, we will be who we are right now (but better. Always striving to be better). We will know how to spend time together without it being at a ball game or school event. We will know how to interact as a husband and wife without the role of mom and dad being constantly called on all day.

What would happen if weren't intentional with that time? Those stolen moments, days or weeks here and there? Would we know who the other was? Would we be able to spend time together like we did before we had kids? Just being silly and having fun? Or would the buffer of children and daily schedule chatter being gone strip away any familiarity we have with the other?

I don't want to become another statistic. Now or later. The divorce rate for couples over 50 who have no children at home any longer has more than doubled in the last 25 years. Friends, that's devastating. Marriage is hard enough as it is, but by not being intentional about connection, for the sake of our kids, are we becoming accidentally disconnected? So disconnected that we lose ourselves, our "just us" along the way? Which really wasn't so accidental after all, but instead, just thoughtless. (Could this be where midlife crisis' happen?)

So while I know we are and will be judged for leaving our kids at home every now and then (and by home I mean safely with their grandparents), I won't be shaken from my firm stance that if Josh and I are to stay together long after our girls have started their own lives outside of our home, we have to know who Josh and Amanda are now and who they are growing into every single year. And if we are honest, we need to be doing it just as much now so we make it to then. Are Josh and I perfect? Heck. to. the. no. Are we trying, fighting for what we want our future to look like? Heck. to. the. yes.

"Just Us" time doesn't have to be overnight trips or a week away in a beautiful destination. It can be an hour or two after bedtime, hanging out, watching tv and holding hands. It can be a movie or lunch or grocery shopping or whatever makes you feel like you're back to being a couple. The "you" you were before their was "all of us".

Hear my words my precious friend-
We put our kids ahead of our own needs as parents all of the time. We sit in the sweltering heat of ball games, work extra hours so we have money to do fun things for them, clean up their vomit (well, Josh does that. I can't) and even set our own physical and mental health aside so they can have everything they need to grow into well rounded adults who change the world.

It is NOT selfish of you to want to make sure they have parents who love each other and want to be sure they hold their marriage to the standard with which God created it for. It is NOT selfish to make sure connection & friendship with your spouse is a priority. It is NOT selfish to strive to provide a marriage worth mimicking in their own lives. Don't sacrifice a healthy, fulfilling, God honoring marriage for your kids because in the end, you're doing them a disservice as much as you are your own happiness and future.



After all is said and done, if we have raise 2 healthy, loving, God serving, productive children and our marriage has survived it, nay, come out even better than ever, than we have done a dang good job.
It is okay for us to be "just us" once in a while. We will be stronger for it, a better team for it, healthier for it and when the day comes when those kids are gone and it's just us two again, like in the beginning, we'll  be even more in love for it. We will have stood the test of time and having survived raising children ready to take on whatever is next.


Just. Us.

My "hasn't failed me yet" stain remover trick you'll LOVE!

It never fails, does it? You get a cute new shirt or that perfect pair of jeans and boom! You get clumsy (or someone else does) and you've got an awful stain that you just can't get rid of.
Or... you have kids and everything is stained because, well, kids.

Last Fall we took a trip to Boston and bought our oldest the cutest hoodie in which she proceeded to live in for the next few months. When I say lived in, I mean she wore it every. single. day.

K isn't the tidiest person and it wasn't long until that teal hoodie was covered in chocolate, taco grease, coffee drips, pen marks or whatever other nonsense she seemed to spill on it during her day. 
It came to the point that I was willing to try anything to get it clean and if it ruined it, well, it was already ruined so anything was worth a shot.

After some Pinteresting (yep, totally made that word up), I stumbled across this stain removal trick and gave it a go and was BLOWN AWAY by how well it worked. I wish I could give the original pinner credit, but I didn't actually pin it (which was  rookie mistake. Don't forget to pin this one!) 


Here is the after picture. I say "hasn't failed me yet" as a total disclaimer just in case one day there is something it can't tackle. So far, it's removed very set in/ washed multiple times chocolate, ink,    grease, ball cap and armpit sweat and even blood stains.(I've got a kid who is a bleeder when it comes to her nose). 


Below is my "hasn't failed me yet" stain removal process. I have it laid out step by step, but you can also scroll down to the bottom and see the process in a one pinnable or savable picture for antsy launderers who don't have time to read. 



What you'll need: 
Hydrogen Peroxide * Baking Soda * Dawn Dish Soap * Scentsy Laundry Liquid 

              
Identify your stain and pour enough hydrogen peroxide over the spot to completely cover. Let it set for 5 minutes. It may bubble and it may not. Both are ok. Here you'll see me remove a set in grease stain on my daughter's shirt (I'm guessing tacos). I went ahead and carried the process onto the lace pocket as it had some bleed over from a denim jacket she'd worn with it.




Squirt Dawn dish soap over stain being sure you have enough to cover your stain.  Sprinkle baking soda over soap and rub to create a thick paste. Let it sit & do it's thing for at least one hour then rinse in the sink to remove excess dish soap.


Finally, wash as normal using Scentsy Laundry Liquid. Laundry Liquid has a powerful 6-enzyme formula that attacks difficult stains while penetrating cleaning agents lift away any excess dirt. It also leaves laundry remarkably clean as it enlivens your clothes, linens and towels it's signature fragrances.


And Ta-Da! No more stain! YAY!
