IT'S ABOUT YOU!

"What's all this about ACS these days, aren't we supposed to be a candle company?"
I was so shocked when asked this question in an instant message the other day that I didn't know what to say! The message went on to say, "You are so interested in ACS only because you and your family have bad genes and had to deal with a lot of cancer. The rest of us are healthy and think we should bring the boards back to candle topics that will benefit us all."

I was caught so off guard that I didn't even look at the name of the consultant who sent it. However, I do know what all this ACS is about and I'm going to give it to all of you in a way you all should be able to understand!

IT'S ABOUT YOU!!!

In our business we have our first step in leadership called "Team Leader"! All of us team leaders have only a few things in common, one of them being CANCER! That's right, CANCER. You see, 1 in 3 ladies will come down with some form of cancer in there lifetime. To have a team you need to sponsor 2 people. That's 3 counting you. Statistics tell us that 1 member of your team will end up with cancer.

Before you even make it to the next level you run into an even greater CANCER problem. When you have 5 people on your team, one member of your team will die from CANCER. One in 5 women in the United States die from cancer. Good genes or bad genes, it's the facts! Then comes the joyous day when you make it to Unit Leader. That takes 6 people. Just a bare minimum unit has a sad CANCER future! Now 2 of you will come down with CANCER and 1 of you will die from it! When you sit at national conference this year and get all excited at shopping spree look at it through my eyes! Each lady that runs up on stage has a unit of at least 6 people, one of which will get CANCER and another that will die from it. Each lady in Shopping Spree represents the one in her unit that will die. Get the picture? It's about me, it's about your unit, it's about YOU!

Next time you sit at a candle training, look to your left than your right at the consultants sitting next to you. Which one of you will come down with CANCER? Feel lucky, will it be 1 of them or is it you? Then look at the first 2 people to your left and the first 2 on your right. Which one of you will die from cancer? As it stands today, 1 of you will! What impact will it have on our business if we lost 1 out of every 5 of our SRVP to cancer? It can happen! Then comes the night of your party. Look at your guest. If you have a hostess and 1 guest, 1 of you will get CANCER. If you have a hostess and just 3 guest 1 of you will die from CANCER. What impact does that have on your business?

Now I have a question for you! Just what is all this talk about ACS always? Isn't it about time ALL of us take a long hard look at the reality of the impact CANCER has on our business and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

I wish you all a long and healthy life. It will be CANCER FREE if I can do anything about it! Let's get out and raise our million!!! Hank
