My personal UL website is live!!!

Yeah! I love my new website! I've already had some visitors stop by to tell me know nice and professional the layout is! I love it! You'll have to check it out for yourself! I know you'll love it too!

My very own Uppercase Living website, finally

Well, today's the day! We finally get our own websites for demonstrators! It's so exciting because I feel like when I was with another Direct Sales company, the website really helped my business and sometimes this whole demo id/token thing turns folks off! Okay, so new website is http://nky.uppercaseliving.net please go and check it out. You can still create a registration for ordering catalogs and using the My Design Tool but you dont have to remember the secret code if you get locked out or send a friend to my site!

Another thing I wanted to talk about tonight is goals. Goals are so important in every aspect of our lives! I want to share my goals with all of you. By putting my goals out there for the world to see, I have a tendency to work harder and prove my strengths! My goal for this month is $1500 in sales. I have set a goal for my team of $3250, I KNOW we can do that! What are your goals? What are you looking to accomplish this month? Year? Week? Day? Leave a comment and let us know!
