I love your drive and creativity, and you inspire so many selflessly. <br /><br />It's a BIG goal and hard work throughout the year to even get this close. Others who need to be nasty, jealous and spiteful about this... well they will never understand it will they? Some wait for life to happen to them, and others (like you) grab life by the hands and make everything of it. <br /><br />You are an inspiration Marelle, and I truly hope you make the trip. And you know what, a couple of my customers ordered last time you had this - and I had no problem whatsoever with this... we don't 'own' customers, and this is such a great personal promotion to meet an enormous goal.<br /><br />Cheerin' you on in the final few days, love ya <br />Trace xxxTraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773371436254822980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37090320.post-26601852657302969222012-03-17T19:15:26.381+11:002012-03-17T19:15:26.381+11:00Your envelopes are a great idea Marelle!

I enjoyed the countdown, too - and last year I was as joyful as you when you earned it. While I can't support you with an order (we aren't even on the same continent!) I CAN support you in prayer and with an encouraging comment. Stamping, like anything in life, with have people both negative and positive. I'm very pleased to say the the positive quite outweighs the negative.

You are one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met in this whole wide world. No way would you ever set out to harm anyone. I certainly never saw anything wrong. Hold your head up high and go forward with your lovely husband and children and put it all behind you. Your happiness and your family's are the most important things in your life.

That's why I stick around and just keep doing what Im doing.. because I made a decision early on to not let one person (or several people) spoil it for me. And for the most part SU demonstrators are the bestest kindest people I have ever met... pettiness is just a ridiculous thing that distracts us from what we should be doing. Just keep being you Marelle and run your business the way you want to.

I have been in direct sales for years - and have only seen this 'targeting' with SU Demonstrators - shame on them! Good luck - and don't lose hope...never give up! PS. I do not blame SU for this - they are the best company with co-founder Shelli leading by example to "do good" - so that as well puzzles me that there are so many selfish demonstrators out there...but it does hurt us all in the end. <br />Signed Brenda B in South DakotaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37090320.post-11808761387921095632012-03-09T01:44:56.812+11:002012-03-09T01:44:56.812+11:00I'm so sorry to hear this Marelle.

As an SU demonstrator I think its great when you set a huge stretch goal like this and work hard to achieve it. Unfortunately there are many out there who don't applaud innovation and entrepreneurship because they lack the ability in themselves. I prefer to applaud it and associate with people who have it as it's infectious and rubs off. Those naysayers will always naysay so don't give them one more moment of your time, thought or energy!
