Subject: Potholes, Personal Accents, and possibilities
| On my way to work today, I had a lot on my mind. Sheryl Crow singing about now that she's free, she's free to make a mess of things ... and how I can relate to that!--me swerving the car to miss potholes I think might be there but are now covered with freshly fallen snow... and amusing myself with my new, evergrowing fear of potholes (is there an official phobia for that?) --me pondering on getting stuck in a monstrous pothole and relating that to getting stuck in a rut creatively ... what we could do creatively to make Personal Accents a more profitable product line for IBOs? What's missing? Is the catalog too pretty? not pretty enough? Do we need to have a party plan? A party plan like (yet other direct sellers of jewelry. Should there be more support materials? I remind myself we have a budget and I must adhere to the budget ... but I quickly forget that because, well, I do ... and begin to imagine all the possibilities. I see Personal Accents written in the sky in Cezanne type font, glittering like diamonds (ok, maybe cubic zirconia because PA jewelry is a shining value) as I drive into the parking lot at Quixtar. I park the car. Walk briskly (it's cold!) into the building. Glance at my computer and instantly decide I'll write a blog post and ask you what you think. If the sky was the limit and the road straight and clear to success... there were no potholes to dodge, no bumps to worry about, no budget constraints, attitudes were positive, customer pocketbooks were bulging, and everything was coming up pretty near to perfect ... what would you hope would be in our plan for Personal Accents? Even if nothing was perfect or positive, what do you think should be in the plan for Personal Accents? As always, no promises we can do it all, but we're all "ears" and we love to play with ideas, especially if they'll help IBOs sell at a profit. We're searching for gems! Be a jewel and send us your ideas. sjw |
