Tag: Elodie Rose

Firstly – before anyone yells at me for being politically incorrect, I do feel like I’m coming out of the business closet, and as someone that came out of the other kind of closet at 18, I figure, I’m allowed to poke a bit of fun at it!Elodie Rose is my second child (the first is also, a gorgeous girl called Elodie Rose), born after years of ‘bright object chasing’ and ‘sensible’ jobs.   After spending my teens and 20’s as a professional singer – with sensible jobs (retail management and bookkeeping) on the side (I was never one for being the broke muso in a share house with the tv on a milk crate), I discovered direct sales, and became a Sales Manager with Australia’s #1 skin care company Nutrimetics. I loved it. The personal and business development, the people, the product, the trips, the car – all of it, then it stopped. I drove my car back into the Nutrimetics car park when my daughter was about 12 months old. I had found as a single mother, I couldn’t manage the weekend work. I needed a job that I could do during day care hours. In hindsight, I could have done my bookings during the week with other mums, so many of them now do….. oops. Back to a sensible job for me and I became the Financial Controller of a publishing company and for my families bath & body products company. Boredom set in. There had to be something better than this (as the song goes), so I started chasing objects – which I would later discover were actually all of the pieces of the puzzle that became Elodie Rose.

• I started my own online and offline retail shop. Loved it, the products and the people, but something was missing.
• Started The Whole Shebang, offering flexible business solutions to businesses from mums. Loved it, giving work to women, but something was missing.
• I began speaking to audiences on business and personal development. Loved it, the speaking and the people, but something was missing.
• Gave Personal Development a go with My Goal Friend a 52 week program to help you achieve your goals. Loved helping people achieve their goals but something was missing.
• Ran The Passion Test workshops. Loved it, The Passion Test changed my life but something was missing.
• Ran an 8 week Smart Not Hard Business and the Jump Into January program. Loved it, the program and the people, but something was missing.
• Did VIP strategy and planning days. Loved them, business plans and the people, but something was missing.
• Started the Smart Not Hard Academy online. Loved it, the business development and the people, but something was missing.

There’s more, but you get the picture. Can you see a pattern??? Well, it took me a wee while to notice. Then it changed. In early 2014 I went to Cannes, France for a trade fair and I was surrounded by glorious products and people. Bingo. That was it, when I got back I would only offer my services to people with product based businesses, not service based. You see, I love stuff. It worked for a while. But I would find myself coming off calls, or leaving a strategy day with dreams and visions that were beyond what my clients had requested, and sometimes even beyond what their businesses were. A fire had been lit.   Then I was at a networking function. 32 people. 8 business coaches. I was the only one with financial and small business training, and the only one that had owned a business (apart from their current coaching businesses). I thought – how the F do I compete with that, and to be be honest – I don’t want to. I ignored the fire – as most people do, till I turned 40 in June 2014. Then I did what I call a Life Audit. I wrote out everything I had ever done, and I mean everything. From technical help with a telco, to managing a home wares store, singing with Barnsey and everything in-between. The good, the bad and the indifferent. Wanna know what stuck out? I loved speaking, I loved singing, I loved helping people grow, and I LOVED being in Direct Sales.

• The commission structure
• The possibility
• The people
• The product
• The incentives
• The events
• The business building
• The helping others

I could go on. Did I want to go back? No, I’m not a believer in going back. I wanted to build one from the ground up. So then I started thinking about products I love….and accessories won the day. Even at 133.5kgs I was complimented on my accessories and how well I was ‘put together’. After researching the market place in Australia and listening and reading everything I could get my hands on, Elodie Rose was born. In the end it was a no brainer.
