Scent Warriors Vision Statement 2012 Dream – Believe - Achieve

How high will you soar? The sky literally is the limit. You’re limited only by what you dream to achieve. You’re only limited by what you believe you can achieve. This year we are going to help remove the fog that is limiting your vision. It starts with a dream – dream big! No point in dreaming if you don’t believe. It’s through your hard work, dedication, your commitment, and your belief that you will achieve these dreams. Create a dream board: Put those dreams on paper, visualize, make it real, look at it daily! Make sure they are your dreams. We can encourage and inspire but you have to metamorphosis to the point of making these dreams a reality.

The Butterfly And Your Scentsy Business

The Monarch Butterfly and Its Amazing Journey Each fall, Monarch butterflies in Maine begin an unbelievable journey to a hilltop in Mexico. How do they do it? Focus on the goal, not the difficulties Allow their instincts and desire to steer them Accept what comes No matter what, they keep flying The Wind: A Help & Sometimes a Hindrance They fly together. By working together, by flying together, they help keep each other on course. They don’t tire, they don’t quit. They face their obstacles together, they keep each other going and no matter what…they keep flying. They keep flying until, one day, they arrive. Their determination makes the difference. Where will you migrate with your Scentsy business this year?
