RE: LARRY VISISTS HIS OLD APARTMENT: ONYX ARVADA COLORADO OF SCENTURA CREATIONS

This was too motivating not to scan and post! YES A PHANTOM ROLLS ROYCE 2011! Thats a $380,000.00 car.

"Once there were 3 bricklayers. Each one of them was asked what they were doing, by the owner of the brick laying company. Which he owned a Phantom Rolls Royce. Unaware he was the owner he parked the car around the corner and asked :'What are you doing?'

The first man answered gruffly,

'I'm laying bricks, for some guy in the hot sun that owns a car worth my than my house.'

He asked the second man 'What are you doing?'
The second man replied,

'I'm putting up a wall in the hot sun, and I was told I would work up to be a manager, I've been working for 3 weeks. I'm still not a manager. I think I'm going to quit don't tell the boss.'

He asked the third man, but the third man said enthusiastically and with pride,

'I'm building a cathedral, and it will be the most beautiful cathedral you've ever seen in your entire life!'"

-Author Unknown

Now, instead of brick layers replace them with people in training, owner = Larry Hahn, and empire in place of cathedral. -Chris Westphal

This story clearly reveals two secrets of success:
1. Attitude
Your attitude towards whatever you are doing determines your ultimate level of success. As Brian Tracy said, "You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you."

2. Ability to See the Bigger Picture
Being able to see the end result, rather than just the task, eliminates obstacles, focuses your energy, and provides motivation to excel. A great quote by Alvin Toffler to reflect on, "You've got to think about big things while you're doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction."

More thoughts to consider:
"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." Bertrand Russell

"The only disability in life is a bad attitude." Scott Hamilton

"Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty." William Bennett

"Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different." Katherine Mansfield

LETTER TO LARRY: ONYX ARVADA OF SCENTURA CREATIONS

Lore published a letter in the Scents of Pride newsletter, I thought it was worth sharing online as well.

From Leticia Guido

“Hi Larry!!!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for my opportunity!!!!! I love this business!! I was so star struck when I had the new owners breakfast with you in New Jersey I couldn’t bring myself to say anything. I’m working very hard to meet you again! I am hoping during a company trip! My office is in Maryland and so far I have averaged 500 a week with my “Rookie of the Year” partner, Earley Gaynor. I LOVE YOU for changing my life and for giving me the chance to own my own business without an NYU degree. I didn’t want to be a lawyer anyway, haha! It’s great! I love what I do now. I promise I will work as hard as I can to get the Dream Team Schotts’ numbers up!

<3 Sincerely Yours, - Leticia Guido” You can read more testimonials from different business owners here.

BUSINESS MATTERS: ONYX ARVADA OF SCENTURA CREATIONS

We are really doing a great job in most areas. The job market has made it so that recruiting in all of our offices has doubled. In certain parts of the region it has tripled. Although it is great to be in the position to have jobs available, unfortunately Scentura Creations have began experiencing a bit of a negative backlash. We have a choice, we can slow down our recruiting and expansion or we can fight back.

It has come to our attention that with the technology of the WORLD WIDE WEB, as great as it is, there is one area that still needs work. That area revolves around unverifiable postings, nameless bloggers, anonymous people with made up events and of course the now infamous, Internet extortion Websites.

We have had such a tremendous response to our recruiting ads we are now having turn a very large number of people a way, even some that we feel would be great additions to Scentura Creations. As you know managing people is a skill and even though it would be great to have 100+ people in our office it is not feasible for most. Due to office size, parking issues and well, just not enough hours to effectively teach and train that many people. Therefore this has posed the first part of the problem. The second part of the problem which is where the negative backlash is taking effect is that some of the people who have not been accepted are a bit upset. The anger they have, we do not feel is because you as the manager has done something wrong but, unfortunately with the job market being what it is, they feel a need to take their anger out on others and well, since you have a job and won't give it to them, then you must be bad.

Scentura Creations are wanting to remain professional in trying to resolve this issue, even though those that have taken a negative stance towards our business, the company and even some of the managers personally have not by any stretch of the word been "professional" at all. What has been brought to our attention are the websites that are primarily "bloggers" venting and they are an outlet for angry ex-employees to vent and trash the company they worked for, the boss, co-workers, etc. these particular websites also encourage it's own employees to post negative things about businesses for more traffic. We have contacted these sites which was very difficult to do, but were told that any untrue posts would be removed once we join their program (for money). Then they would see to it we would get a perfect rating with them. The amount to join is so much because of the size of Scentura Creations, we could pay, but would then have to eliminate bonuses, profit sharing and vacations, of course we will not do that, so we need to educate ourselves and our people about this. We have decided to use our voice and fight back.

We have put more information about this through out this blog, and how to handle the situation if it happens in your office. Please read all the information and pass it along to your office staff, trainees and distributors. We know this is a trivial and yes a very ridiculous situation, but we feel that it needs to be addressed.

We prefer to expose the problem as oppose to ignore or hide the problem.
