Last month I wrote hundreds of thank you cards and
sent gifts to so many of my Team who contributed
to achieving the massive goal we set for ourselves in
October to move up to the VP level!
All this from someone who started Norwex just over
7 years ago not ever wanting to recruit, not wanting
to be distracted by others, not understanding the
possibilities that are created for a Consultant when
you start growing a Team of people, who care as
much as you do. As soon as that ‘Team building
penny’ dropped for me three months later, I never
looked back.
Developing a Team over my time sharing Norwex, has
brought me much joy, friendship, inspiration, energy
and motivation to keep growing and learning. Your
Team is the glue that holds you into this business
and when I felt like quitting 20 days into October, I
had an overwhelming sense that I could not let my
Team down and those who were backing me all the
way to achieve this. I wanted this for our Team as
a huge recognition of our years of dedication and
commitment to the Norwex brand, our mission and
our belief that these just are the very best products to
be using around your home, family and children.
Some thought I was mad doing this in a Go For The
Goal month (the annual Norwex overseas trip month)
but with strategic planning, I was backing my Team
and the demand for new products & Liquid Laundry
Detergent. Also, I chose a month that had 31 days and
I had a trust & belief in my experienced Leaders to
keep driving our vision for October, when I was away
for 10 days on the GFTG cruise. I didn’t anticipate
extreme jet lag for the first 5 days of my return, but
this meant I woke up at some crazy hours so I started
working!! At 3am two days running and 5am the next
two after that.
My caring Leaders went above and beyond and so
did many Team members. My army of home shoppers
shone their Norwex torch bright, they collected extra
orders, they called more Customers, they found more
people to join, they did PB’s, they did Facebook parties
for the first time, they did in home parties for the first
time, they were absolutely amazing! I was surprised
over and over, many times I was overwhelmed with
up and down emotions, but so touched when people
kept saying, you deserve this, you’ve got this, you
have earnt this, we need to get this for you Rhian,
when I the whole time kept saying we and us!
I knew this was a goal I couldn’t have achieved by
myself and we planned in detail for this six weeks
beforehand and our excellent planning paid off. We
advertised & communicated to the Team, in every
possible way and made it all about us and not about
one individual. We set our sights on this huge goal,
driven by a mindset that were going to get this
together and to have now achieved it together is a
sensational feeling that money can’t buy. This is a
major reason as to why you too should grow a Team,
it increases your appreciation of others efforts, your
job satisfaction and accomplishments tenfold.
Thank you & congratulations to my incredible Team
of tough, sparkling Sapphire Gems and to the Teams
and amazing Leaders of the Black Onyx Gems, Stellar
Gems and the Black Sapphires, I am grateful and proud
of us all beyond words, we did it!
