The Power of Yay

Ever have a tough day?
You know what turned mine around today?
I just got an email and the subject line was simply: Yay!

I couldn’t wait to open it, a note from a Fantasia Romance Consultant. She was excited that both her personal and team numbers were up from last month.

You know, that Yay makes my day! She is happy and proud and her sharing that with me makes me feel happy! I didn’t realize there was such power in the sharing of Yay!

Nothing I love more than when I can give someone a ‘Yay’ for effort, for encouragement, or simply gratitude for their friendship and/or service. Personally, it feels better than having accomplished it myself.

I hope you are inspired to give Yays every day. People don’t forget those who make them feel good, and a sincere Yay will put you back into a positive mood PLUS make their day!

Suggestion?
Give your prospects, prospective customers, hostesses, all your team members a Yay today and everyday!

Be the cheerleader, the optimist, the bearer of good wishes,
the storyteller,
the enthusiast,
the coach,
the motivator,
the smile,
the support, the bearer of good will,
be the wind beneath someone’s wings!
Be the Yay!

—Rina Valan

P.S. Read the bio on Norman Vincent Peale, the author of “The Power of Positive Thinking.”
I think he had it right.

Once upon a time, in 1984, a woman named Rina Valan was frustrated about the limits placed on women in the business world and in their personal relationships. Back then, you literally had one choice: raise a family or have a career. In addition, if women complained of lack of pleasure with a partner, it was just assumed she was ‘frigid.’ Those choices were just not acceptable to Rina, and so her mission because clear to be that champion for the financial and personal well-being of women and their partners. With a $10,000 loan from her mother and drawing out all her cash advances on credit cards, in August 1984 Rina started Fantasia Home Parties in a small dusty warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. She loved her 3 year old daughter so much that she could not bear to leave her with a sitter, so she took her to work every day. In the evenings would train new consultants so they could sell at home parties and be able to support their families AND be there to take care of them too. Today, Rina and her daughter, Emily, still work side by side. So 30 years later, Fantasia Home Parties stands as the pioneer and leader in romance home parties. As one of the founding member of CAHPA (Certified Adult Home Party Association), Fantasia continues to forge the trail and we make it possible for women to be equals in matters of the heart, personal pleasure, or providing income for themselves and family. Some of us do it in pink high heels or sneakers, some are single or married, some are single moms, or some of us are even taking care of own moms. With over 33 years of executive experience in the Home Party and Direct Selling business, her personal attention and real life experience is the backbone of our team. It is not unusual that she shares her working experience daily by coaching and with personal support with both new and experienced consultants.
