The Joy of Sales: How to Never Have to Work Again

Stephen Covey, the author of "The 7 Habits," wrote, If you love your job, you never have to work another day in your life." In my days as a corporate recruiter, I lived and breathed by this quote. I truly found my calling when I found recruiting. Helping others find something that would make them feel worthwhile and successful was immensely gratifying.

Each day I would speak with so many kids fresh out of college, who were ready to tackle the world, yet, they would be so blind at the opportunity to find a career doing something worthwhile. It was always about 'the paycheck.'

I would ask them, "Don't you want something that is so exciting it would make you jump out of bed everyday with excitement, and something so rewarding that you would be thankful each night you lay your head on the pillow?" They would look at me and stare - as I had caught them off guard from their collegiate scripted and rehearsed interview methodology.

But then they would look at me, tilting their heads to the side and say, "Yeah, I would like that... but I want to make a lot of money."

After about four years of this, I began to realize that people don't ever stop and think about what would make them feel worthwhile. They think life presents them with this 'either - or' scenario. You can either make a lot of money - or you can find a career that is worthwhile.

I don't profess to be a millionaire (though it is in my future:-), but I know the power of intention to be something great in life. The power of having fun and enjoying yourself. Doing something that is so dang fun - it never feels like work! I know this - because it is going on midnight and I am smiling as I work to type this to into the computer.

Each day I have the joy of knowing that I am in sales. Say what??? There goes your stereotypical view of what sales is. I know - the used car dealer in the polyester image is there - so wipe it away right now! There is nothing wrong with being in sales. For each day that I sell even just ONE SINGLE product, the impact of that sale reaches global proportions.

From the time the ingredients in our products are planted, grown and harvested using absolutely NO chemicals, pesticides, etc. to alleviate the burden on our earth, to the time that they are lovingly mixed into our beautiful potions, to the recycled packaging they get boxed into, to the shipping that is offset through carbon credits and tree planting, to the time they are used by you, the consumer and reduce your body's chemical burden - to all the little creatures who live in the water from the drains from your home... it is global. It is so far reaching and so amazingly beautiful that it can actually bring me to tears.

I think of it this way... for every product I sell, I am leaving the world a better place than I found it.

If you would love to work from home, with a company that truly walks the talk when it comes to integrity and organic standards - and if you would like to make a difference in people's lives, that ironically benefits the planet, all those whom inhabit it, and earn income from this process... consider joining our company!

Remember, life never has to present you with 'either - or' choices. When you are faced with such a choice, ask yourself, "How can I have BOTH?"

The solution is there, if you look for it.
