<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TE49vO-SdKI/AAAAAAAAAGI/M6bxUBOS6kw/s1600/Picture+8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TE49vO-SdKI/AAAAAAAAAGI/M6bxUBOS6kw/s400/Picture+8.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<b>ShopToEarth: Why is the Cup of Joe so important? </b><br />
<b>Dawn:</b> 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 <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a> 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.<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: How do you come up ideas for topics? </b><br />
<b>Dawn:</b> 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.<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: What are some of your past favorite topics? </b><br />
<b>Dawn</b>: Habits of Successful People, Goal Setting, Turning Ideas/Imagination into Something, Failure Only Means You Need a New Plan<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: Who should call in and why? </b><br />
<b>Dawn:</b> Absolutely everyone. Whether you are in ShopToEarth or not, these calls benefit everyone! These free, 15-minute calls are packed with insightful, beneficial information that will get you off to a great start. Combine the information in these calls with the discipline needed to put the skills to use and you can take over the world.<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: What is your favorite Cup of Joe? </b><br />
<b>Dawn:</b> Dan Swiniarski's You Incorporated. Coffee wise, Dunkin Donuts with cream and sugar!<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: What's your favorite flavor? </b><br />
<b>Dawn:</b> At home I love Vanilla Coffee Mate - Full Fat of course. No Fat Free - Yuck!<br />
<br />
<b>ShopToEarth: How Many Cup of Joes a Day?</b><br />
<b>Dawn: </b>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!<br />

The ShopToEarth Business Model and the People By Hilary Martin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TDNH3Qnk8zI/AAAAAAAAAGA/wn3spIcPZSg/s1600/Picture+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TDNH3Qnk8zI/AAAAAAAAAGA/wn3spIcPZSg/s320/Picture+1.png" /></a></div><br />
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.<br />
<br />
I also love the people associated with <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a>. I am grateful to work hand-in-hand with such passionate and hard working people. The friends I’ve made in <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a> will last a lifetime.ShopToEarth Company Profilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310374447289700742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768570734102795010.post-38985558748870126532010-07-01T18:26:00.000-04:002010-07-01T18:26:21.614-04:00Living Green is Easy, Try Walking the Eco-Life By Hilary Martin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TC0VW96wmDI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Q6dVm26xNnY/s1600/Hilary+Martin+ShopToEarth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TC0VW96wmDI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Q6dVm26xNnY/s320/Hilary+Martin+ShopToEarth.jpg" /></a></div>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, <a href="http://www.shoptoearn.net/cgi-bin/genesis.exe/st_main.html?p_catid=15&sid=3stGwB2TE515BYh-52110068515.2d">Kiss My Face</a> toothpaste and <a href="http://www.shoptoearn.net/cgi-bin/genesis.exe/st_main.html?p_catid=696&sid=3stGwB2TE515BYh-21110068515.c0">Key Naturals Skincare</a>. You can find coffee and salsa containers “reused” around my house for various things, <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a> H2Go bottle or Water Week bottles to the gym (love them both) and more. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<b>Tell us some things you do to shop green:</b><br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.transfairusa.org/">Fair Trade Certified Products</a>, please educate yourself. <br />

<b>What are some easy ways people can start shopping green?</b><br />
<br />
Start with the basics. Think of the things you use on a weekly and monthly basis that don’t require changing your routine. For example, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning products and laundry supplies. These are all things we use weekly that you can start switching out for greener alternatives. <a href="http://www.shoptoearn.net/cgi-bin/genesis.exe/st_main.html?p_catid=81&sid=3stGwB2TE515BYh-16110037315.7a">Sun & Earth</a> for example, has a wonderful eco friendly laundry detergent that is extremely affordable!<br />
<br />
<b>Name some great eco leaders who inspire you:</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oUDo8rHpzw">Ed Begley, Jr</a> is an obvious one. I first met Ed in 2006 after listening to one of his inspiring speeches during an Eco Conference in California. The second would be Jill Buck. Jill is the Founder of the <a href="http://www.gogreeninitiative.org/">Go Green Initiative</a> and she is, by far, one of the most passionate and giving people I’ve met. Jill has accomplished many great things with the GGI, which is helping thousands of schools and children across the nation raise environmental awareness. One of the most exceptional experiences I’ve had working in the “green world” was the GGI 2008 Earth Summit in Syracuse. Jill produced a top notch Earth Summit with some of the nations leading environmental activists. I was able to attend lectures from national eco leaders from the<a href="http://www.nrc-recycle.org/"> NRC</a>, <a href="http://www.timeinc.com/home/">Time Incorporated</a> and the <a href="http://www.usgreenbuildingcouncil.com/">USGBC</a>, I’m also a fan of <a href="http://sarasnow.com/">Sara Snow</a>. Sara grew up living green, as her father was the co-founder of Eden Foods. She is a true inspiration!<br />

<br />
The old saying, “Time is money,” still rings true, especially when running your eco-friendly ShopToEarth network. The beauty of <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a>, it actually saves time, notes <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_pWESHWPUE">ShopToEarth’s National Trainer, Rich Soviero</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TBF4egxCFUI/AAAAAAAAAFg/tWncUInTldg/s1600/Picture+22.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/TBF4egxCFUI/AAAAAAAAAFg/tWncUInTldg/s200/Picture+22.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />
“Online shopping with ShopToEarth saves an incredible amount of time! We purchase everything possible through our Website, the only time we have to shop in a physical store is for groceries,” says Soviero. “Instead of walking through Costco or Target on the weekends, we now order from the comfort of our homes, and it is delivered right to our door.”<br />
<br />
Stop wishing for more time to do the things you enjoy! Check out Rich’s Time Management Tips below to start making the most of being a ShopToEarth representative.<br />
<br />
<b>Rich's Top Three Time Management Tips:</b><br />
<br />
1. Modeling: Figure out your schedule with an end result in mind<br />
<br />
2. Define your time: Think about the various activities in your life and group them together<br />
<br />
3. Replace Multi-tasking with Uni-tasking: Do one task at a time to improve concentration and allow yourself to get more done in less time<br />
<br />
<b>Daily Time Management Routine:</b><br />
<br />
I plan out my day in advance with a focus on completing my daily goals, crossing them off as they are completed. It keeps me focused all day long no matter what else comes up.<br />
<br />
When you procrastinate, what do you find yourself doing?<br />
<br />
I hate to procrastinate, but I do find myself doing it occasionally with things that are painful for me to do. I find myself ignoring it and pretending its not there. <br />
<br />
<b>How do you avoid procrastination?</b><br />
<br />
With me it’s all about mindset and being determined to hit another goal.<br />
<br />
<b>Words of Wisdom on Time Management:</b><br />
<br />
Make daily, weekly and monthly goals: The key is to write them down and stay focused on these goals. Put them in front of you in the car, on your mirror, at your desk just to help keep you focused.<br />
<br />
<b>Tools for Time Management that you use or recommend?</b><br />
<br />
My best tool is my phone where I keep my lists and it alerts me to all upcoming events.<br />

Tom Peters began his “Success Tips” blog back in the early 2000s, and today Tom continues to push out basic, fundamental, simple and time-proven teachings for success.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S__haUXlduI/AAAAAAAAAFI/DGysAfOXL9k/s1600/little+big+things+shoptoearth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S__haUXlduI/AAAAAAAAAFI/DGysAfOXL9k/s320/little+big+things+shoptoearth.jpg" /></a></div>There isn’t anything in this book that is earth shattering or “off-the-charts” new and innovating, but what you will find is tons of information you can take, use and win with, should you adopt, adapt and get off the couch NOW!<br />
“The Little Big Things” is not going to be the easiest read, nor is it going to be a book you will finish quickly, but you will find page after page of incredibly SIMPLE and useful tips, tools and advice. Not to mention you will get the feeling Tom is actually speaking to and challenging you. <br />
Toms preaching of simple things are spread throughout this little gem. Wisdom like show up and show appreciation. Or, “People first, people second, people third, people infinity.” Reward excellent failures.<br />
And a couple of my favorites:<br />
“Devote adequate time to self-development”<br />
<br />
“To do much with an idea, you need an ATTITUDE.”<br />
So if you are really ready to get off the couch, shut off the TV and do something about where you are with YOU INC., I recommend you pick up this book along with a ledger and start reading immediately.<br />
<br />

<br />
Watching the <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a> social circles grow online over the past few years is exciting and rewarding. It’s hard to believe many of ShopToEarth’s social media networks were launched less than 18 months ago, and now it seems a daily routine for us to wake up and check-in on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and most recently Foursquare! <br />
<br />

When we started the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/shoptoearth">ShopToEarth Facebook Fan Page</a> in January 2009, Facebook had 150 million users; today they’re pushing to 500 million users! Twitter started in 2006, and today has more than 100 million users sending 55 million Tweets a day. When ShopToEarth started on Twitter in January 2009, we were one of about 1 million users! 300,000 new users are joining each day!<br />
<br />
The eco-friendly ShopToEarth network is an early adapter to social media, embracing it as a means to network and build relationships, and I’m happy to be able to share in this growth. <br />
<br />
<b>What’s next? </b><br />
Now we have Foursquare checkins, bringing our network to a new geo-centric way of networking and adding to our eco-friendly way of shopping, saving and earning. With Foursquare we can share tips on places to go and see from city to city. Social media makes the world smaller, and I’m thankful to be part of the ShopToEarth social circle!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S-meUeNHosI/AAAAAAAAAEg/rJThd9AYXeg/s1600/ShopToEarth+Erin+Welsh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S-meUeNHosI/AAAAAAAAAEg/rJThd9AYXeg/s320/ShopToEarth+Erin+Welsh.jpg" /></a></div><br />
An important aspect of being a <a href="http://www.shoptoearthnews.com/pages/bios/">good leader,</a> and often overlooked, is you have to take breaks to clear the mind and rejuvenate.<br />
<br />
I’ve found myself over the last two years getting obsessed with completing the job, instead of realizing there is always going to be a huge workload and telling myself, “Take a break already!”<br />
<br />
I think this is important no matter your career or what your life is like. We are at our best when we take time for ourselves, whether it’s a long weekend, hanging out with family, going to a concert or just a simple workout.<br />
<br />
This is something I have really had to work on and really never realized it until the last two years. Funny, right? I have to work on not working so much!<br />
<br />
But slowly I have understood I am at my best when I take a little time to decompress and enjoy things like yoga, laughter, being outside in the sunshine, live music, my family and my friends.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.shoptoearth.net/">ShopToEarth</a> Cruise was a great way for me to decompress and enjoy the wonderful people making a huge impact on STE’s mission. It doesn’t get any better than taking your first ride on a scooter with your big brother Pat! That will clear your head no doubt!<br />
<br />
<b>Brainstorming – Four Heads are Better than One</b><br />
Another thing I am very passionate about in business is brainstorming sessions. I am a firm believer in the idea that four heads are better than one to make an idea or program the best it can be.<br />
<br />
ShopToEarth is at its best when we incorporate opinions and feedback from the leaders in the field, Customer Support Staff, Shannon Beck and Hilary Martin’s Sales and Marketing perspective, Pat’s Visionary perspective, and always ideas from the programming and technical side.<br />
<br />
Listening and realizing that everyone’s input is important because perspectives are meant to be different, and multiple perspectives are very valuable.<br />
<br />
So use your head to take your ShopToEarth <a href="http://www.shoptoearthlivegreen.com/">green business</a> to the next level. Give your brain a break every now and then, and rely on collective thoughts of those around to plan and succeed!ShopToEarth Company Profilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310374447289700742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768570734102795010.post-61224500351903859332010-04-25T19:41:00.000-04:002010-04-25T19:41:15.872-04:00Tune into ShopToEarth's Shannon Beck<meta content="" name="Title"></meta> <meta content="" name="Keywords"></meta> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta> <meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Generator"></meta> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11" name="Originator"></meta> <link href="file://localhost/Users/Lisa/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link> <style>

No BIG-CORNER offices for these guys. Nobody was wearing a suit; everybody was dressed casual, very relaxed, and comfortable (yet focused and happy). There were many other nuances I found impressive about Zappo’s, like relaxed support-rep call procedures…. just make the customer happy, and the nap room. I took many things away from the experience that will benefit me and others moving forward. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S8dTNWKfblI/AAAAAAAAAEA/F48PkX1juSU/s1600/zappos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D7XbFtwthcw/S8dTNWKfblI/AAAAAAAAAEA/F48PkX1juSU/s320/zappos.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Schedule a tour of the Zappo’s headquarters in Las Vegas (it’s free and very inspirational) if you get the chance. You will more than likely come away with a different outlook than you went in with.

ShopToEarth Director of Marketing, <a href="http://www.shoptoearthnews.com/pages/bios/">Hilary Martin</a> hosted an Earth Hour event in St. Louis, Missouri at Van Goghz Restaurant. <br />
<br />
"The energy and support from everyone at Van Goghz was fantastic! At approximately 9:40 we went to blow the candles out and turn the lights back on, but many people preferred we leave them off for a little longer. That was a neat moment for me. To raise environmental awareness about conserving energy, while doing something as fun and easy as spending time together in the candlelight. In writing a follow up Press Release, I found the perfect quote,"<br />

In this book, Pink does a great job of breaking down motivation and how people respond to certain stimuli. In the book Pink shows that traditional monetary motivation is losing its gusto in the market as more and more companies (Google) allow their people creative freedom and autonomy on projects. Some companies even allow their employees to work in different departments as long as they create something tangible. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There were several examples that showed when compensation was applied to a task, interest as well as artistic creativity were hampered considerably. Throughout the book Pink gives examples as well as case studies that can be applied to all levels of learning. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Evidently, the prices directly from the Vendor were at times - almost half the cost of the prices listed on ShopToEarth side. And even the My Retail Mall side was less expensive for the same product on the ShoptoEarth side. Please let me know how to handle this objection. How can we tell people to shop and make their $50.00 on the ShopToEarth side if they know their being overcharged?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
