Dawn Connelly Hosts the Early Cup of Joe: Why it Works for ShopToEarth

Building a successful ShopToEarth e-commerce business takes persistence, determination and a positive attitude.

Today, Dawn Connelly, ShopToEarth’s resident cheerleader, sits down with ShopToEarth to talk about the daily Cup of Joe, why they work and how you can make the most of these daily calls.

ShopToEarth: Why is the Cup of Joe so important?
Dawn: It's so great to start your day with a positive vibe. We work hard to provide useful information that helps everyone to set goals, achieve them and maintain a positive outlook. The Law of Attraction is a powerful thing. You bring about what you think about. We want everyone in ShopToEarth to stay focused, persistent and optimistic. Starting the day with a 15 minute motivational call geared toward personal and professional growth is something we love to provide to everyone.

ShopToEarth: How do you come up ideas for topics?
Dawn: I am constantly reading and listening to motivational books and CD's. I apply what I learn. The combination of this and my life experiences provides the material for my Cup of Joe's. All the leaders who do our Cup of Joe calls are positive and spend a lot of time researching and creating topics we think will benefit everyone who joins us.

ShopToEarth: What are some of your past favorite topics?
Dawn: Habits of Successful People, Goal Setting, Turning Ideas/Imagination into Something, Failure Only Means You Need a New Plan

ShopToEarth: What is your favorite Cup of Joe?
Dawn: Dan Swiniarski's You Incorporated. Coffee wise, Dunkin Donuts with cream and sugar!

ShopToEarth: What's your favorite flavor?
Dawn: At home I love Vanilla Coffee Mate - Full Fat of course. No Fat Free - Yuck!

ShopToEarth: How Many Cup of Joes a Day?
Dawn: We do a Cup of Joe call every week, M - F at 8:30 am and 11:30 am EDT. I, personally, do a call once a week. We also have live tour calls and 4 Steps to Duplication calls that are very important to building your business. Our Leadership and SOTU calls keep everyone informed and excited about the future. We have something so special here that I am very proud to be a part of.  If you plug in to everything you can, get trained, stay positive and remain persistent you will achieve all your goals and dreams!

Like it! The ShopToEarth Business Model and the People By Hilary Martin

The business model is brilliant, but simple, and I love that we’re raising environmental awareness. I’ve been an online shopper for years and remember when Microsoft first launched their cash back beta program, Live.com. Cash back for online shopping is obvious to me, and combining it with an earth friendly “Green Mall” is the reason I am here.

I also love the people associated with ShopToEarth. I am grateful to work hand-in-hand with such passionate and hard working people. The friends I’ve made in ShopToEarth will last a lifetime.

Living Green is Easy, Try Walking the Eco-Life By Hilary Martin

Just about everything I do from the time I wake up in the morning until going to bed at night is green. I wake up to Fair Trade Coffee, Kiss My Face toothpaste and Key Naturals Skincare. You can find coffee and salsa containers “reused” around my house for various things, ShopToEarth H2Go bottle or Water Week bottles to the gym (love them both) and more.

I absolutely LOVE the Salad Sac from Sustainable Table! I rinse my spinach pour into the Salad Sac then toss in the fridge. You’d be amazed at how long everything stays fresh, probably 3 times as long as keeping it in the plastic salad bags, loose or in containers. My animals eat all natural as well. LOVE Joint Check by People Pets and Horses!  I recently moved and had to call the city for extra recycle bins. If it can be recycled, I recycle it. My next project is to start a new compost garden.

Tell us some things you do to shop green:

I love Trader Joe’s!  I always use reusable grocery bags. If you don’t want to break the bank purchasing all organic fruits and veggies, read up on which fruits and veggies are the most important to buy organic then purchase a Fruit and Veggie Wash from your Green Mall to help with the rest.  I try to buy Fair Trade Certified as much as possible, it’s very important. If you’re not familiar with Fair Trade Certified Products, please educate yourself.

On my shopping list you’ll find:

•    Sun and Earth Laundry Detergent
•    Key Naturals, Vital Fruits, Kiss My Face Lavender body lotion
•    Elephant Poo Pads (great gifts and awesome conversation piece to promote your STE Business),
•    Crazy Pineapples Candles, they smell delicious and last longer/don’t cause sneezing or irritation like standard candles. Amazing!
•    Sustainable Table – love it all!
