Be a Star in the Shower as well as on the Stage of Life

If I Could Be a Star
by Dave Nabrotzky, Mialisia Executive National Designer


One of my favorite Mialisia memories was “making” our incredible Founder and CEO sing a song on the spot with no notice at our Nashville Boot Camp a few months back. She reluctantly agreed as long as I promised not to record it and post it all over the internet. So I honored that and didn't record…but that doesn't mean that I still cant tell the story all over the internet, right? (wink)

Let me set the stage…

About 15 years ago, I went to a show called "NunSense" and Annelise sang this and it was absolutely incredible. Most don't know she graduated in Music, Dance, Theater and is overflowing with talent in these areas. 


Anyways...I cant find any actual footage of Annelise singing this song but I will play a snippet from the play and you can all imagine Annelise belting the words out with passion! The play shares some humorous thoughts that nuns have but cant say out loud. What I love about this part/song is the message that deep within all of us...we want to be a hero or a star. We have big dreams. But we often allow life and our fears and insecurities to bottle us up in our comfort zones. 

May each of you strive to recognize that we are the ones that control our limitations and expectations. So stop filling your mind with all the "nunsense" and decide today, right now, that you will follow your dreams and make something even more out of your life. You can do it! Take the stage and give it a try. Don't let life pass by leaving the song of your heart to be unsung! Stop worrying about how you will look if you stumble. Don't worry about not being perfect! Just stand up and sing! You may doubt the decision each step along the way from your chair to being on the stage...but once you are there...and you leave your inhibitions behind...and sing with the confidence you do when you are in the shower alone and think no one else can hear you...then you will hear music that you never knew you even had inside of you. You see in the shower...you are comfortable...no one to mock you. Besides....I can't hold a single note but even I sound good singing in the shower. Enjoy!

The Secret To Recruiting and Starting a Revolution


ON FIRE WITH ENTHUSIASM

by Dave Nabrotzky, Mialisia Executive National Designer


How did your October go? Did you hit your goal or come close? Did you set a goal? What did you do well that can be defined as an "IPA" or Income Producing Activity and where did you get distracted? Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it and make November that much better!

An unwritten goal is merely a wish

  1. I encourage you to set goals for each month and then hold yourself accountable to a sponsor, friend, spouse, fellow designer, etc
  2. If you really want to get serious about making a life changing experience with Mialisia, then ask a mentor to help hold you accountable. 
  3. Know how much you want to make and how many new designers you want to have by Nov 30 and then by Dec 31st and then work backwards to see what you have to do to achieve this. 
  4. Once you figure that out....determine how bad you want it and if you are willing to pay the price with effort and excitement! 


If you want greater success and happiness in your business and even personal/family life....I promise that if you will set goals, align yourself with a mentor (someone that can help you be accountable and be a cheerleader and coach), and then do YOUR part....all areas of your life will find more happiness and peace to your heart. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. 


Success is a duplicable skill...regardless of even talent, looks, experience. I went undefeated in school in soccer and tennis and won MVPs not because I was the most talented. I humbly admit that. I just worked harder and wanted to grow and win more than anyone else and it always paid dividends in my life. I became the #1 sales rep in states, regions, and across the US in many multi-million dollar business ventures for the same reason....the fire in my belly and drive in my heart got me out of bed each morning ready to light myself on fire with enthusiasm and people would then sign up in the thousands to come and watch me burn baby : ) If you are not seeing the success you want YET...fake it til you make it...envision it happening and live like it already has.

"Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men [and women]. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks" James A. Baldwin 

"Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved" Ralph Waldo Emerson

Stop-it...Dam-it": Phrases that Stop Your Growth

"Stop-it...Dam-it": Phrases that Stop Your Growth and Success

We have all heard it a million times... "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words can never hurt me"? I couldn't disagree more!! As a Christian pastor I have the opportunity to do 10+ hours a week of marriage counseling. Many sessions are working through forgiveness and healing for words used yesterday (and sometimes even words used 20 years ago that had a negative impact yet was never addressed).   So often in mentoring I hear people utter phrases that on the surface seem harmless but, in reality are devastating.  There is no voice more powerful than your own.  

In fact, a study found that it took seven positive comments from others to negate ONE negative thing we told ourselves. 


I CAN'T
Many years ago I learned that CAN'T was an acronym.  It means-Certainly Am Not Trying.  "I Can't" feeds the fear.  It gives into the fear.  It let's fear triumph without even trying.   We can do anything we put our mind's to. You could run a marathon, you could climb a mountain, you can loose weight and you CAN build a business.  The tougher the tasks the longer it takes.  CAN'T is your fear talking.  Tell it to sit down and shut up. Replace it with:  I WILL!

I HAVE TO
No you don't.  You CHOOSE to.  Perhaps you "choose" to based on what other people will think, say or do.. but you choose to.  So if that is the case, own the choice.  If you don't like the choice, change the choice.  Let others think, do or say what they will.    Replace with:  I choose to do this because.

I SHOULD
Quit “shoulding” all over yourself!  "Should" is self-castigating.  "Should" implies that you fell short or were wrong in some way.  "Should" is filled with regret. 
Replace this with:  Next time I will... or maybe just let yourself do what you want.  Cut yourself some slack.

I'LL TRY
This is one of the most damaging phrases in the English language.  To quote Yoda, “Do or Do Not... there is no try”.  "Try" opens the door for failure. 
Replace this with: “No matter what”.   No matter what says "I know I can and I will keep at it until I get there".   
I AM SO STUPID
I hear this so often and it makes me gasp for air.  Would you ever let someone talk to you that way?  Absolutely not!  You are not stupid!  You are learning, evolving and growing.

"Everybody is a genius.  But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid" Albert Einstein

These phrases rob us of our power and make us helpless victims.  Take your power back.  Choose your words carefully as they build who you are.  Own your words, deeds and actions… for they are yours alone.


Write your affirmation statement. This is perhaps the most influential document I own and it shapes my daily belief, my daily actions, and is the blueprint towards becoming the person I want to be. Stay tuned for the next post of how to write your affirmation statement. Subscribe to http://HookedOnMialisia.blogspot.com

Mialisia Leadership on Purpose, Passion, and Pain

Purpose, Passion, and Pain
Dave Nabrotzky, Mialisia Executive National Designer, Team Diamond
Presented at 2013 Mialisia Leadership Conference - Vegas



You work for a purpose-driven company! I hope we become engrained with the fact that each of us has a purpose. We may not be perfect people. We may not have perfect situations. But we are still significant nonetheless!  Women have been blessed with the rich body of emotions and when used properly they are very effective at motivating you towards your destiny. I want you to be clearer in your understanding that purpose and passion are interconnected.

Unfortunately, we live in a crazy world that we're so busy all the time and everything is fast, fast, fast…and we are losing touch with who we are and our inner sense of passion. But it is your passion that empowers you to be able to do THAT thing for which you were created to do. You may not feel it all the time but you do have passion.  It is this passion to which will thrust us thru the trials of life to accomplish the things that we were created to do so that we can function at a higher dimension and with authority and with conviction.

You need passion to withstand all the obstacles that go with your purpose.  Just because you are living with purpose doesn’t mean that you are not going to have problems.  You will have problems but you will be given the thrust to be able to get up off the ground and to step into the field of your dreams. And even if you have not landed on that thing yet…at least get in the territory to that the thing you were dreaming to do or that you hope to accomplish. And through that passion you will be able to ignite things you have never ignited before and didn’t even think possible.

Now some of you out there may say, “I don’t feel a thing. I am numb. I used to have passion when I was young but I don’t feel any passion now”. All of us go thru times that we don't feel anything at all. But in order to ignite passion again, you have to be exposed. “Get out of the boat, Peter, walk on the water”. Go do something you've never done before, get involved, get connected…because when you are exposed you will see that there are more options at any age. You don’t have to be cute…you don't have to be pretty…you don’t have to be a size three… you don't have to be a blonde or a brunette or twenty or fifty.  At any age, you can still ignite your purpose by finding your passion. That is good news!

What then do we do with the lulls in life…the dark shadows in life?  We all have those secret pains and burdens. Are they in fact distractions from our purpose? Absolutely not! I've never seen anybody who did extraordinary feats that didn't have extraordinary issues. It may be the PASSION that gives you the power that you need…but it is the PAIN from which you have the conviction for that purpose!

If you have not been through some pains you would not have the burning to do what you do
I believe that children are like arrows.  They need to be directed. You aim them at that thing you want them to hit but you don't push an arrow….you pull it away from the target at first. And it is the digression that causes the progression. If your life has been tough as it's been hard and you had to pull yourself up by the boot straps, and your childhood wasn't so good…guess what? That was just the arrow being pulled back so that when you are released you can thrust after the thing you are after. So you don’t have to grieve over what you didn’t get and what didn't happen and how you were treated and who didn’t raise you and who didn’t love you.  Once you understand the greater the digression….the stronger the progression.  

If Nelson Mandela had not been incarcerated, had not been mistreated, had not been ostracized, he would not have the passion to do what he does. I'm telling you what you think is working against you is actually working for you. And if you can realize that then you make sense out of the pain, then you justify the pain

We are constantly taught to seek provision. Seek money. But I know a lot of rich people. They can be crazy. Money without purpose doesn’t make you wise…it makes you crazy. You don’t want to seek provision. You want to seek purpose. If you find your purpose you will not have to worry about provision.

You don’t want to be chasing your provision. I want my provision to be chasing me. Then you are in a position to decide what ventricles to open up and how you can help others.

The most sexy and wonderful thing in the world is somebody who knows who they are and knows where they are going and knows what they were created to do. There is nothing like it in the world. When you find your purpose they will find something cute about you. People who are on point are attractive. They are focused. They get the deal. They earn the business. They make the best mamas in the world. They make the best daddy’s in the world. They are easy to live with.

People who are lost are hard to live with…whether they are rich or not, or beautiful or not, people who don’t know who they are always needing validation to feel secure. But when you are self-confident then you are safe within yourself. You don’t need everybody in your space. You know who you are. You are dead on center. You are right on point. You know exactly who you are. You don’t need others to define you. You don’t need others to validate yourself. And if they clap for you that is good. But if they don’t then that is ok because you are living your life right on point with purpose! May each of you be blessed to live a purpose-inspired life! Make no mistake about it….Mialisia has a purpose. A purpose so much grander than jewelry. Yes, VersaStyle jewelry may be the vehicle that takes us from point A to B. But the success and journey toward that destination is for a purpose which is to help serve others, seek to do good acts in the world, make a difference in the lives of others, and to bring out and ENHANCE THE INNER BEAUTY WITHIN.

Mialisia Fashion Event Introduction and Training

Mialisia Team Diamond Designers

Here are some ideas for Fashion Event Introduction:

1.         Comfortable and simply intro. Puts guests at ease when they know what expectations and plans for the night are.
2.         Explain that we have 3 purposesFind CustomersFind hosts or "Fashionistas"...who want to host a fashion event and earn free jewelry, and Find Designers...women who want to make some extra money.
3.         On the business opportunity...keep it light/soft approach and say, "You may be interested in becoming a designer or you may know someone who would be a great designer and who likes to have fun and be creative. It takes the pressure off but yet gets them thinking about them doing what the designer does.
4.         Simple display shows how duplicateable this business is. See how simple her display is? Not even a fancy table or forms. Not saying you have to do this as it is nice to display the pieces during the intro (allows them to have ideas for later). Though keeping the jewelry in the mat does keep them from looking around at the beginning and asking all these questions before you had a chance to properly explain the concept.   I recommend using the mats as this allows you to simply lay the jewelry out and women may find it more inviting to try on. Some may feel bad taking it off a beautiful display.
5.         Give each guest a clipboard with order form up front.  Explain to view it as a wish list/no obligation/star items that are your very favorites. Women are more comfortable putting some of their basic info on it if they know it could be used just as a wish list and they don’t have to buy that night. This also makes the close easier at the end and less time consuming for you.
6.         Explain how you are them to help them. Ask, “Who buys you gift? Husbands, Boyfriends, Grandparents, Friends, Parents, etc. I am going to help them out by sharing some of your favorites with them around your anniversary, birthday, and shopping holidays.” Explain “that many spouses are clueless and scramble and stress out trying to buy them a gift and get something that guarantees you like and would want”. Explain that you are helping them. When you look at sales this way it makes it so much easier to place an order for them rather than “closing” your friends to help you to make money.
7.         Explain the great quality of the jewelry
8.         Let them know that after you play with it...at the end you will have specials to tell them about. It keeps women from leaving early because who wants to miss a sale?
9.         Explain that they can be the trendsetter among all their friends by sharing this new concept with them and showing them your VersaStyle jewelry. We all like to have the inside scoop and share new fashion ideas
10.      Explain Annelise's story and how the jewelry came about and the value and benefits of the jewelry.
11.      Get the guests to laugh and have fun as part of the introduction. It relaxes them and shows that you want to laugh and have fun.
12.      Demos some looks not on yourself...but invite guests up. As you do this, the other women say how cute she looks (who doesn't like to hear that?). I would add that you should have several mirrors so the guest up front can see how she looks (the more you get the women "seeing" the jewelry on them....the more you increase your sales. Notice how she leaves the jewelry on them (puppy dog close). Only one mirror will decrease your sales. Pick up lightweight and simple mirrors. Buy some stands so the mirrors are at the right height top stand up and see the jewelry on them.
13.      Ask Good questions to uncover needs. For example, “Think of your costume jewelry and how many of those have a lifetime guarantee 1, 5, 10+ years from when you bought it?” Or “How many of you have jewelry that you can only really wear with one outfit...due to the style, color, neck line of what you are wearing, etc?” Or “What frustrations do you have with your jewelry?” Follow it up with how this jewelry can solve the problem(s)...adjustable, you can come up with your own designs, can wear it around your neck, wrist, bracelet, ankle, boots, etc.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL….YOU GOTTA BOOK PARTIES IN ORDER TO FIND CUSTOMERs,  FASHIONISTAS, AND DESIGNERS.
