It’s Valentine’s Day…a day of love. What better day to reflect on why I {heart} Close To My Heart and being an Independent Consultant!
Initially, like most, I fell in love with the products! It was like heaven knowing that my cardstock would match my inkpads, which would match my embellishments, which would match my ribbons and on and on. I mean who doesn’t love to coordinate/match!?!?
Then I really loved the idea that I could get a discount on all the product I absolutely adored simply by becoming a Consultant. It seemed like a no-brainer. I sign up to be a Consultant, keep buying the product I loved and I get a discount. I wasn’t told I had to work a certain schedule, or that I should anticipate working “x” number of holidays or that it was company policy to wear certain attire. It was all up to me! Imagine that….I mean really, how often do you get a ‘job’ where you are in charge of what hours you work, how you want to run things day-to-day and such?
And then I did my first party as a Consultant. I’ll admit I was super nervous, but it turned out to be so much fun sharing my excitement and love of our products with others. I’ve said it before (and know I’ll be saying it again), but I absolutely, positively *L*O*V*E* all the friends I’ve made by making this one little decision to become a CTMH Consultant. Friends I might not have ever met otherwise.
Okay, if you’ve stuck around this long, I thought I’d mention that I hadn’t forgot my weekly On the Table Monday. The picture above is what’s on my table (a fun paper heart banner–I still need to string it together and hang it up though–this afternoon!) I thought the different perspective better displayed the project. Here is my traditional perspective….
