Summer is almost over

Not that I'm counting the days til school starts again or anything.

I've enjoyed having the CHOICE to keep my kids home with me this summer. I wasn't forced to have to put them in daycare and not get to enjoy any summer with them. They're still little, so there's still a lot of whining that goes on and all day every day of that can get to one frazzled mom, but nonetheless I'm glad I'm here for them.

As fall and the holiday season rolls around, I've been talking with more and more people that are interested in starting their own business. There are many reasons for it, but it usually boils down to extra cash and security. What's your reason for wanting your own business? I enjoy the flexibility of being able to be home when the kids need me if they're sick or there's no school or daycare. I so love that I have the power to CHOOSE to send my daughter to a sitter or daycare because I want or need to. I enjoy not having to drag them (or myself) out of bed at un-Godly hours in the morning and racing traffic to get to the office on time. And I enjoy having the power to control my own destiny and income. The harder I work, the more I make. When I slack off, so does my income. BUT, to a certain extent, my business can keep going even when I take a day off.

Would you like to have the same freedom? Drop me a line or check out my website at www.SmellMyCandleBiz.info ~ Look forward to hearing from you!

Scent Samples

I love handing out scent samples! There's nothing better than bringing a smile to someone's face. Scents have a way of doing that. They can remind us of days of old... invoking memories of grandma's kitchen, holidays together, the flower garden...

It's funny to see how people will hang on to that little sample bag and put it up to their noses over and over and over, and smile each time! I have a friend that has a sample in her bag, it's been there forever, but every time she comes across it, she takes a big whiff and smiles.

Samples are just a hint of what comes from a jar... enough scent to fill your house! Let me know if you'd like a sample or two, I'd love to share what we have with you!

Scent of the Month - Rain Forest

... An exotic scent of lush plants, makes you feel like your outside on a sunny day!

This is one of our nicest 'natural' scents! It reminds me of a flower shop... the mixed up smells of all sorts of plants and flowers at the same time.

If you'd like to smell a sample, drop me a note at MiaBellaLisa@bellsouth.net and I'd be happy to send you a scent sample so you can sniff it yourself. As always, you're invited to stick your nose in my business... check out http://www.smellmycandlebiz.com/!

Fundraisers

Do you need a fundraiser? Everyone needs funding! Kids schools, clubs, sports teams, church groups, and other non-profits... I can help!

Did you know that 90% of women use candles? At least 60% of them enjoy scented candles. What better way to provide a fundraiser - you raise much needed money and your supporters actually get a high quality product in return.

Your group members will ear $5 from each candle that they sell. The math is pretty easy to see how quickly you can add up some pretty good earnings. Say you have 20 members / students. If each of those members sells just 5 candles, you will have earned $500. Ten candles would earn $1000! And that's just a small group. What could your group do with that extra money? Use it for much needed items? Donate it to a specific charity? With the spring holidays coming up, folks can always use a gift to have on hand, or enjoy the great smelling all natural candles themselves! Think... Easter, Secretary's Day, Mother's Day, Teacher gifts....

Feel free to email or call if you have any questions. Check out our product line at www.SmellMyCandle.com.

Thanksgiving

It is so wonderful to have so much to be thankful for. I have a healthy family, a beautiful home, we live in a fantastic area of the US where the weather is beautiful almost year-round, and I am getting to fulfill my dreams of being a work at home mother. I have the complete family that I'd always dreamed of, which includes our little princess who is growing up so rapidly.

My business will be a serious undertaking this coming year. I've struggled with this little thing called 'life' getting in the way. Who was sick, pregnant, injured, needing surgery, visiting, too little, too tired? It's all gotten in my way and this year I have a renewed commitment to not let those be excuses. I'm ready to roll and 2008 will be the year that I gather a team to take along on this journey to success.

Welcome to Mia Bella Florida!

Do you love scented candles? I do! Do you hate it how you buy a candle that smells awesome, but then you burn it once or twice and you can't smell it anymore? How about the ones that burn a hole into the middle of the candle, and you have this hunk of wax left that didn't burn? Very frustrating - and what a waste of money!

Have you ever tried a Mia Bella candle? I did, and let me tell you -- I'll never change them! These candles are probably the best smelling I've ever tried. AND, the jars burn all the way across, there's no black gunk left all over the place, and on top if it all -- they smell all the way through the entire jar! To make a good thing even better... I can make money with them! So I get to burn these fantastic candles in my home, give them away as gifts, and make money doing it!

How would you like to make money doing something that you normally do anyway? It's probably the simplest thing I've done. There's no lengthy seminar to put on in order to make a sale. I don't need to be a registered pharmacist. Or a licensed finance expert. All I do is let folks smell my candles - and they do the work for me! A 30 second 'demonstration' is all it takes. We call it "Smell and Sell".

One of the cool things about selling candles is that they make people feel good. Scent is so powerful, it can calm you down, bring back memories, and make your home or office very inviting. Candles are often given to loved ones or others as gifts. I can help people with shopping for all types of events, and get to be creative making gift baskets if I choose.

I thoroughly enjoy sharing the business opportunity with others. Nothing excites me more in this business than helping someone else get started with THEIR own new business. I love to show others how easy it is to get started and expand as they are ready.

There are several ways to produce an income with Mia Bella Candles. Person to person retailing is the best way to introduce your product to get started. From there - they sky's the limit. If you're into parties, you can build your business with home parties and make yourself an income that way. You can also get creative and do craft shows and expos. Fundraising is another very lucrative side to the business and quite simple to do. And lastly, you can build a team of your own helping others start their businesses, and create yourself residual income.

Call me at 954-742-8841 if you have specific questions, or feel free to check out our company website at www.SmellMyCandle.com . There you will find loads of info on the products, the business, and the company itself. Feel free to browse around.
