I signed up on November 8th after a LOT of persistence from my mother. She received a beautiful living locket as a gift from her supervisors earlier this year and that's where her obsession started. She loved her gift so much she wanted me to start selling it. After many texts, phone calls, and overall persistence on her part, I broke down and signed up to become an Origami Owl Independent Designer. I received my Designer I.D. # 9266073 and hit the ground running by purchasing my Business Basics Kit for $149.

As I anxiously awaited the arrival of my basic kit, I started doing research. Endless google searches for tips on how to build my business, set up an online launch party to let all of my friends and family know that they could now get Origami Owl products from me, and took a ton of notes on how to be a successful Origami Owl Designer. I wanted to treat this like it was my business, not a hobby. Hobbies cost money..businesses make money.
A few days later, my kit came. I was so excited when the mailman came I think I scared him. You would have thought he was Publishers Clearinghouse the way I threw open the door. I couldn't wait to tear open my kit and see all of the sparkly funs inside.
I spent the next two hours taking everything out and admiring the pieces, and reading through my Origami Owl Tools For Success. Between the time I signed up, and the time my kit arrived, I had searched the all powerful Google for a mentor in my area. I knew no one who sold Origami Owl and wanted someone in my general area. I emailed a potential mentor and she called that night and answered all the questions I had, gave me some pointers, and the next day I sent an email to the nest requesting her as my mentor. She added me to the Facebook group for our team (which is FULL of amazing women who ask any questions they have & overall just support the stuffing out of each other.)
As my Jewelry Bar Launch Party came to a close, I had sold quite a bit of jewelry, scheduled a few jewelry bars, and even had booked a spot at a local farmers market. Within the first week, I had over 250 Personal Volume and growing. I was going to sleep comfy in my bed, and waking up to new orders from the other side of the country! That still blows my mind and is one of my favorite things.
What I love about Origami Owl is that YOU choose how you sell it. I am a stay at home mom. I have three beautiful step children and a 3 year old monster of my own so finding time in between my taxi job, my chef job, my maid job, my nurse job, my tutor job, my lost & found job, my laundry person job…you get where I'm going with this..was something that I was a little nervous about. The first week I sat down and made a list. I would spend X amount of hours working in my home office daily. I worked during nap times, and after bed times and was so amazed at how successful my business was becoming with just a few hours a day. I have since kicked it into high gear and am more organized to make sure I get the things I want to do done. I host parties, I do online events, I sell individually to strangers, I do community events..but at the end of the day, I could choose and number of those and still be successful and I love that. It is 100% what I put into it.
Being an Origami Owl Independent Designer is EXACTLY what I needed to regain my sense of ME..which can easily be lost in the day to day of being a stay at home mom. As we prepare to gather with family tomorrow, I am so thankful for this company, my team, and the opportunities that await me. I can't wait to see where I am this time next year.
If you would like to ask me any questions (Really, don't be like me..ANY questions, there are no dumb ones or ones I am too busy for..My goal is to help other people start their journey because I love mine SO much.) If you would like to speak to me about joining my team, or even select me as your mentor (my mentor I.D. # 9266073) I would LOVE to speak with you! Don't put it off like I did..start your journey today! *I would suggest contacting me PRIOR to signing up JUST so I can give you some helpful pointers about the sign up process..this doesn't mean you HAVE to select me as your mentor, I just want to help make you as successful as you can be weather you join my team or not.)
With OWL-the-love,
