I have been reflecting a lot lately about how thankful I am that Plexus Worldwide came in to my life 10 months ago.  In these short 10 months, I have built a very substantial business while NOT working very hard at it. My goal was to make enough to cover my van payment of $320 and I now am making 4 figures monthly.  That is a pretty good extra income, wouldn't you agree?   I have prior in home business experience with Mary Kay Cosmetics and when I compare the two experiences - Plexus and Mary Kay.....Plexus wins hands down.  This is why.......TIME.  Very simply put, I do not spend time outside of my home working my Plexus business.  I handle everything online through the website that the company provides me for $34.95 a year.  I post on facebook about the product, my results, before & after pics, etc.  I do spend time following up with customers, replying to the many questions I get about the product and business, but once again, I am sitting on my couch doing this :)

I think Mary Kay is a great company and I was very successful with it.  I became a Sales Director and won several cars.  I met some wonderful, Christian women who have remained life long friends.  However, I worked very hard and spent a LOT of time working my MK business.  I was gone many evenings during the week and most Saturdays.  The investment into the company was also significant.  Therefore, making it a bit harder to build a team.  Most people do not have much of an issue spending $34.95 to start a Plexus business.

I believe that TIME is such an issue for all of us.  We are so busy, it is hard to imagine fitting one more thing in.  Maybe you are like me.....looking for an extra income, but not willing to sacrifice TIME with your family.  I would highly encourage you to take $34.95 and try this business!  What is the worst that could happen?  

Plexus Worldwide is a relatively new company that is exploding.  There are many areas in the US that are wide open - no Plexus Ambassadors to be found!  If you are in an area where there are no Ambassadors, I can not stress enough that you need to be the first!  I am on the ground level of this company and firmly believe that I will go to the top.  You can come with me :)  Check out the facts about Plexus in the graphic below.  Now, that's amazing!  Plexus is a consumable product, so you are paid over and over for your initial customer contacts.  That is important when looking in to a business - you want a consumable product, not things you only sell once!

If you would like to get started with Plexus, it couldn't be easier!  Simply, go to my website: http://uhlenhopp.myplexusopportunity.com/ Ambassador 134395, click on "Join Plexus" and follow the prompts.  I will be notified by email that you have joined my team and I will follow up with training.  If you have any questions, please call me at (515)210-1446 or message me on my fb page: https://www.facebook.com/plexusbeth

Happy New Year!  I hope you are all ready to take on 2014!  I have kind of been dreading changing the calendar to 2014 because it means that my oldest son will graduate from high school.  I am in no way, shape or form ready for this, but have to face reality.  I saw a great quote on someone's facebook page that said "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."  I have decided to take this to heart.......as I sit here crying!  lol  I will get there eventually.

I have set a few goals for myself this year......to spend time in God's word daily, limit my technology use, up my water intake and get back on track with my exercise routine.  I found a neat app for android phones called "Habit Streak".  You can track up to 4 habits at a time.  Check it out, I think you will love it, and it's free!  I also found a great app called "Water Your Body" which helps to monitor/track water intake.  Hmmmm.........I must not be the only one that has issues with drinking enough water!  

I wish all of you the very best in 2014.
