Building the team to move
mountains
My background is that of teaching. For over
20 years I taught PE and sport has been a huge part of my life both as a
participant and a teacher. I tend to relate everything I do, and values that I
hold, to sport. I have two major goals in my business.
My first major
goal has been to build a team, with the kind of energy that can "move
mountains" or make the impossible, possible! A team where there is as much
genuine pleasure for the new Distributor who gathers their first six customers
as for the Distributor who reaches the top of the ladder.
Some time ago
I played in a Ladies' tennis team. As we had no matches in the winter we
decided we'd form a squash team and enter the league. None of us had played
squash before. We had a couple of lessons to learn the basic skills. Come our
first match and we were wiped off court. We were used to success in the tennis
league and this was an unpleasant experience for us (our business equivalent -
the successful business person who is not immediately successful with the
Utility Warehouse). It was an experience we didn't want to repeat - so we set
ourselves some goals. These were simple goals: (1) win a point in each game and
(2) be "Man of the Match", with the recipient receiving a Mars bar!
Well we lost every match that first season but we had built up a strong
team spirit, such that, at every match we felt and acted like we had won
because we were gradually achieving bigger and bigger goals. At the start of
the next season we won our first match. From our celebrations you would have
thought we had won the British Championship! From that day, having experienced
success and wanting more of it, we never looked back. We achieved far more than
each individual's prowess deserved because we had this incredible team spirit
and the desire and belief that we could succeed. So that's what I am creating
with my Utility Warehouse team, because being part of a team like that and
together everyone achieves more. I've got some great people in my team who have
become good friends and I know we are going to greater heights and will have a
lot of fun along the way.

Stick in there and continue
being consistent and persistent
My second major goal is to move up, one step
at a time, along the compensation plan 'ladder of success'. You can't be in the
event and not want to pass the finishing line. Independent Senior Group Leader
did not happen quickly enough and there have been times when I've felt
despondent and frustrated. To anyone out there who can identify with that,
stick in there and continue being consistent and persistent - and it will
happen. Be honest with yourself and ask if you really are putting in the
effort.
On the words "and she did it" there had to be a clenched fist
punched high above the head. This continued into adulthood and many times I've
called round to see my Dad and walked through the door - clenched fist up in
the air chanting "and she did it!" Well I lost my Dad just before Christmas a
few years ago. I had told him I had reached Independent Group Director (I'm
convinced he thought I was now on a par with Charles Wigoder!) but more
importantly I told him that my next step was Independent Senior Group Leader,
which I've now achieved.
