Do You LOVE Your Job?


I cannot tell you how many people I meet everyday that tell me how much they hate their jobs. Yes, I said hate. It's a pretty strong word. But its a word that I hear often.  One time I sat at the side of a bar waiting for a friend to get off work. I heard every single person in this place complain about how they disliked the company they worked for and how they hated their managers. But seriously life is too short to stay in a job that you dislike so much. I've always felt that it's important to find a passion.

I was introduced to Scentsy by a friend who had adopted one of our rescue boxers. She originally signed on to be a Scentsy Consultant because she fell in love with the great products. I thought that it would be an ideal way to earn some extra cash for our rescue. The first three months were amazing. We made some really good money for the rescue and with my earnings I was able to help some dogs that needed medical assistance.

Like most people, both Matt and I want a healthy “work life balance”. We want to be able to spend more time with each other and with our family, instead of working long and intense work hours, travelling for work and being away from home most times. I’m sure our story is no different than yours. We were both busy professionals struggling in an expensive city (Canada's most expensive city to be exact) to get ahead - trying to balance the demands of work, family, and our relationship. Feeling too often unfulfilled and conflicted with the demands of jobs that were more necessities than passions, I wondered if this was all life was? I wondered whether it could get better and how? Knowing that having to work more to increase the material standard of our life would come at a cost – less time with our family, and less time doing the things that bring us happiness. It was a depressing struggle that left us with wanting more.

About 4 months after I signed up for Scentsy, our lives changed. Matt’s client sold their company to a firm overseas and Matt lost his contract. Although it was devastating, and shocking, we took it as a sign to turn things around and to make a huge impact in our lives. We quickly realized that we already had this amazing business, set in place for us. And it was apparent that with Scentsy there is so much opportunity. Scentsy became a second income in a time of need for our family and our Scentsy team became a huge support group for us.

For me, the greatest thing about being a Scentsy Family Consultant is not the extra income, the free trips, the rewards or the incentives; but truly the greatest thing is the people that I have met along my Scentsy journey. From my customers to my Scentsy Family I am blessed to have this great group of people in my life. Some of my customers actually joined my Scentsy Family which made it even better as they have been sharing in the journey with us! I’ve been able to help many people achieve success and meet their goals, while meeting my own goals. It’s been a very rewarding experience for me.  I have a very proud feeling come over me when I watch the girls in my downline receive awards and recognition for their accomplishments.

I’ve never thought myself to be a “salesperson” and to be honest the whole selling in home parties scared the crap out of me. But since I’ve fallen in love with Scentsy I’ve had nothing but fun! I love doing home parties and I have enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people.  I love having my own company! I love working hard for myself and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Selling Scentsy has definitely been rewarding in so many ways that I could not have even imagined. It has filled a gap in my life that was apparently missing. I love my job and wish that I could share it with everyone I meet. I am more fulfilled and happier than I’ve ever been. I want to scream at the top of my lungs to everyone about my discovery!
