Why I have never looked back on signing as a Close to my Heart Consultant.

One of the most precious things we have today is our relationships with each other- especially the kind of relationships that share a common interest. With more and more of us tuning in to relationships via our phone, we are missing out on these precious opportunities to BE with each other. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some facebook but being with my people, those who get me and love me with all my quirks- that is SOOOOO precious!

Last week I was able to indulge in this precious time. I gathered in Provo, Utah with some friends in preparation for the CTMH convention. This event was a perfect reflection of why I do not regret signing up as a CTMH consultant. I have been blessed in many ways – earnings, many free trips, free or discounted product- but the GREATEST gift is that of the relationships I have made. These people, my people- my friends, my team and all the ladies who I only have the pleasure of seeing once a year- they are the glue that keeps me bound.

My team is the same- I love each and every one of these ladies (and all the ladies not in this picture- these are the ones who were with me at the convention). They bring me so many blessings and so much joy. I love sharing the CTMH journey with them and learning and growing together. They add so much to my life.

If you are seeking something more. If you are seeking a place to connect and share your passion for all things paper and crafty. Then this place is for YOU!

(PS- the other perks are great too, promise LOL)

Being a Close to my Heart Consultant or How I found my dream and live it everyday!!

Being a Close to my Heart Consultant or How I found my dream and live it everyday!

I know- cheesy right?!

BUT – so true!!

2014 AB27

I do love my career with Close to my Heart- it has brought me so many great things!

  • trips to destinations I could never have even dreamed of seeing (like the Mediterranean Cruise where I got to see the Sistine Chapel!!)
  • a wonderful income (more on this later)
  • a sisterhood- of fellow consultants and downline.  These ladies (and even a few precious gentlemen) are so much more than someone I work with or someone I earn income from.  They are family- people I can laugh with, cry with and even cry for! They are ladies who go above and beyond to help a fellow consultant in hard times and join together got rejoice in happy!  Most importantly, they are truly the only people who understand my love for this company and this product because they suffer from the same ‘affliction’ I do!
  • product- well of course! This is what first brought me to CTMH. I wanted so many of the pretty things in the Idea Book!  When I first saw the product I was at a home party that my friend Lisa was hosting (I really should thank her).  I had a pathetic $10 to spend… maternity leave and a new baby were making short work of my income.  Then I opened the idea book…. and I was doomed! It was all so nice and unlike anything I had ever seen.  When the consultant (now my BFF Sarah!) mentioned signing up I jumped…. and have never looked back!
  • Personal growth (yes another cheesy thing but it is true).  I started in this business a completely different person.  I was a fairly ‘shy’ person at the beginning and tended to keep my thoughts to myself.  Through the years I have grown and found my voice (in a good way I assure you).  I no longer feel ‘shy’ and have no problem standing up in a room full of people and discussing CTMH (or even other things as what I learned with CTMH has also helped me in my day career).

and the money thing? what about that?

Well, a few years ago CTMH had us call out our BHAGs at a meeting- I remember sitting in the room (I think we were in Las Vegas) and they encouraged us to say it out load- that Big Hairy Audacious Goal!!  I paused… for a long time… too shy and scared to say what I really wanted to say.  But my BFF Sarah kept poking me.  So, I called out, “TO QUIT MY DAY JOB.”  Wow! I had said it and found I really did mean it.  Don’t get me wrong I love my day job (I am a full time teacher) and it comes with a wonderful income and wonderful benefits BUT someday I would love to leave all of this for my DREAM JOB- CTMH!  Who wouldn’t? To say, ‘Yep, I quit my teaching job to sell scrapbooking products and other fantastic craft products’ and ‘Nope, that did not hurt our finances at all, in face I am making MORE now’ – that would be AWESOME!

Now I should add to this that as a Canadian teacher I make a very good salary and I also have excellent benefits- these have kept me in my day job and will likely keep me here longer as my family has medical needs that are costly and I need the sanity of a place to go everyday. BUT, I am close to the point that I could go part time (and if we didn’t need those benefits I could take the full leap!) How exciting is that!!!

Today is one of those days that I am ‘gushy’ and proud of my choice to be a CTMH consultant- I had to record it and share it with all of you!  I don’t do this because I want you  to join me – I simply want to share my feelings and my joy! But- if this does make you wonder… then please contact me or click on the link in my tabs “Join my Team”- there is so much this company can bring to you too!

and because the product was and will always be a big part of the ‘why’ to join here is a video I made showing all the goodies that comes in the Consultant kit!
