Starting tomorrow, and going through the month of June, I will be blogging "The 30 Days of Faves" sponsored by Party Plan Divas. I will be discussing each day MY favorite things with Biltmore Inspirations. Feel free to contact me for clarification or information on anything related to my company!
See you tomorrow!

Springtime
Spring is one of my favorite times of year ~ except for the DST "Spring Forward" nonsense! It's encouraging to wake up in the morning to find determined flowers peeking through the leaves and reaching for the sun. As the days get warmer and longer, I love to play in the dirt. Right now, I have a tiny vegetable and herb garden tucked in the corner of my suburban postage stamp yard and am looking forward to my first dish of fresh steamed broccoli with dinner tonight! I found this picture taken at the Biltmore House by my friends Yvette and Sabrina last month and am now "chomping at the bit" to go plant a flower or twenty! Have a wonderful spring day, friends!
~Celebrate Every Day with Style~

My WHY
Everyone has a WHY for what they do (or DON'T do). For some, the WHY may be easy to answer. Maybe you're a teacher because you love kids, love the schedule, have the degree and so on. Maybe you fell into a job or career by accident. For me, starting my own business with Biltmore Inspirations was no accident. You can't possibly be successful in direct sales without being INTENTIONAL.
I first heard about Biltmore Inspirations on NPR back in August 2010 and researched them on the net to find out what their business plan and products were going to be. I got myself on their mailing list and received company updates. I researched home decor direct sales companies, average sales, average income and my local market and decided to take the plunge. As of today, I've been with the company for one month and even though we are still officially in the "pre-launch" phase, I have one recruit on my team (so far!) and three launch parties and an Open House scheduled for July. I'll save research and strategy for direct sales success for another day and another blog. Today, on this auspicious "one month anniversary", I need to remember WHY I chose this avenue.

- I need a FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE. I have a six year old child and am in the process of adopting another little girl this summer. I need the kind of job where I can be on the computer at 5 a.m. for an hour, on the phone at 10 a.m. for an hour, and out of the house with other adults a couple of nights per week. Which leads me to my next WHY~~
- I need the company of other humans over the age of 7 who do not want to discuss Taylor Swift, Barbie or iCarly. Direct Sales is the perfect job for any SAHM or WAHM who enjoys making RELATIONSHIPS and SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS.
- I love decorating, redecorating, and rearranging my home. I like being surrounded by things pretty things with a story. What could be better than representing a company who offers my PASSION? Every item by Biltmore Inspirations is inspired by something at the Biltmore House!
- I like the VALIDATION and success in exchange for my work. In other words, I am as successful as I want to be. If I work, I meet my goals. This may not be important to some of you, but I am driven by this on many levels. While I don't miss wearing stockings, suits & closed-toe shoes to the bank every day, I do miss a certain feeling of accomplishment. This job totally satisfies that need.
- And along the same line~~I miss being part of a TEAM. With Biltmore Inspirations, I have a wonderful support system from the home office, directors and peers. It's a joy to "meet" with them via conference calls or web chat and share our goals, experiences, and suggestions.
- Finally, it would be a lie if I left these two off the list: MONEY and OPPORTUNITY. Honestly, I might work for free, but I wouldn't work as hard! Biltmore Inspirations gives me a ground floor opportunity to earn a substantial salary.
