that a first grader could have so many questions that needed immediate answering.” Allie looked over at Sally curled up watching the Disney Channel.
“I really like the feeling of someone else depending on me. I haven’t had too many people that have just assumed that I would protect them no matter what. You have certainly taught her what love is. Sally makes the words ‘I love you’ not just an idea, but a reality.”
Allie had gotten quite attached to Sally and was looking forward to the next few days, even more, since she would be giving Sally back to Megan in the near future. Hopefully Megan would be able to take care of herself and Sally again.
Leaving to head to her apartment, Allie passed the lawyer who was headed to Megan’s room; she wondered what else he could need that hadn’t been taken care of already.
--------------
At Allie’s apartment there was no one inside and the security alarm was still set when she got there. After locking the front door and resetting the alarm, she sat down to work on her emails and see what her team had accomplished over the weekend.
Her team’s orders were good, but there were a few ladies who needed to be called to see why they had missed putting an order in. Taking care of that and setting a few appointments for the afternoon, Allie felt like a new woman by being able to work on her business. She had felt really lazy not having done anything for the past weekend. While she knew that she really had accomplished something, it was so different from her normal activities. Watching Sally would take some getting used to since she was used to working all the time. Knowing that her time this week would be limited, she went ahead and got things prepped for the rest of the week so that it would be easier to run back and forth as Megan and Sally needed her. Normally she got ready for the week on Sunday nights, but since she was gone it took longer for everything to come together on Monday morning. She put all the labels on her books and printed up the inventories for the orders that would be delivered that afternoon. Making sure that she had everything set, she went to her first appointment with a sigh of relief that everything was caught up again.
She met with a lady named Janet that had discussed wanting to join Nova last week. They met at the local McDonald’s since they had a WIFI connection, it allowed Allie to show Janet how to log in and navigate the website.
Most people were certain that something like Nova was just a pyramid scheme to make you pay out a bunch of money with little to no return. While this could be true, Allie always tried to explain to new representatives that the work that you put into your business was what you would get out of it. Most people simply didn’t want to work hard enough to see any profits. They thought that it would simply happen if they signed up. Allie tried to make sure that she not only explained how to make money, but practical ways that they could find customers and grow their business.
Janet was so excited and already had several ladies that were simply waiting on her to bring them books. This was always wonderful to hear, but Allie reminded Janet that passing out the books was only part of the process, she would need to go back and follow up to see what they had decided to order. Otherwise, they would forget how wonderful their wish list was and then it would be a missed opportunity.
While sharing this business opportunity with Janet, Allie had not even thought about Mike or Megan. Being so caught up with showing her how to succeed made everything else disappear.
When Allie asked people to join her business, it wasn’t simply so she could benefit from the money that they would make for her. It was for what she could help them accomplish in their life goals to success.
Some might take her up on the offer, then never do anything. There are others that with a little encouragement would be able to do more than they had ever
