April

Hi, have you ever thought about joining Close to my Heart.... now is the time to have an extra think......  what would it be like ..... could it be something that might work for you....... how would it work for you........

Well, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on it all....

I joined up as a consultant in 2004 with another company as I had seen some beautiful work that others had done and KNEW I wanted to do this.  But other times when I had tried to get my photos in order, the rest of my life just got in the way.  So, I had three other people (my Mum and two friends) who all wanted to do this too!  So I joined up as a consultant and between the four of us it was enough for me to stay afloat.  Looking back I remember will I make it, now I think so what if I don't!!!  Anyway, over time more and more people wanted to come along and I have now moved to a position where ALL my stuff I get for free (plus more), I earn extra off it and I have a team!  This was not the original agenda but it just naturally grew and now I have a different mindset.  I WANT to help others to do the same as I have done.  I WANT to hold events (love doing this) and I also WANT to hold crafting retreats!!  Many of the people I have met via this business have become my friends. A great way to do what you love while earning that extra cash!

Anyway, are you wondering what it all has to do with YOU!!!???  Well, that was just to show you there are sooooooo many different types of people in this business.  Some LOVE to papercraft and they get their product at heavily reduced prices (and some free), some like to build a small business out of it and enjoy the flexibility to make it work around their lifestyles and some like to make a full time business out of it.  Of course, there are other options like joining one of my clubs, or holding a loyalty card....  whatever appeals and whatever "fits"!!!

That different mindset???!!!  Well, that came about when I had someone who rang and wanted to join up over about 18 months ago.  I thought "WHY NOT" hence the name appeared - my Team the "Wai Knots"  since then others have joined and I have enjoyed this change too!!  Some it works for and some it doesn't, but I am happy to suit you to what you need!!!

I am happy to honestly talk about the pros and cons of signing up (what cons????!!! - how can you lose when you sign up and receive heaps of product for free and never ever have to do any more))).... I ask YOU how can you lose???  BUT, if you hang in there, then, there are definite benefits!!!  Risk Free!

Anyway, here is the deal!!!  Close to my Heart have just put out a NEW Consultant Kit!

 Pretty huh!!!  So what other business can you do this....  pay $145 (plus the $23.50 for freight) and receive $352 worth of mostly product PLUS get an $80 Select Product Credit - yup you get to choose some of your Kit!!!  So you get to use what YOU LIKE for yourself OR you get to SELL what YOU LIKE!  Makes selling easy when you LOVE it yourself!  There are papers, stamps and more in the list to choose from, but want to know what is exactly in the main kit:

OR

someone who wants to run a small business (likes the flexibility, the NO SET UP COSTS ie don't need a physical shop, overheads are non-existent but wants to work it to earn an income)

OR

someone who wants to run a business full time (all of the above but is committed to growing her business while helping others do the same) 

So whatever your reason for joining, I would LOVE to have YOU on my team and as Close to my Heart says "Let me show you how"....
