Host – Team National President & CEO Angela Loehr Chrysler
“It is my pleasure to be in the line with you today. I am thrilled to hear so many people join the call there is lots of momentum and excitement going on. There are lots of TN event going on all around the country for you to plug in to. Just by being on this call, you have taken a great step for your future and as a leader for your team by tuning in. Later in this call, we’ll talk about other ways you can really move forward with great success.” – Angela

Some great things going on here at the corporate office. One thing is our team here has been busy adding new stores to the Big N Marketplace. So feel free to send in your suggestions to the Big N Marketplace to our webmaster at webmaster@bign.com . Our team will check it out and see if it is something we can add to our Big N Marketplace, whether it’s an additional store to add to our current categories or even a new category perhaps., i.e. a new addition is The Scholastic Store, they are offering 7% commission, so that is terrific. The commission on top of the ease of shopping online anyway.  It does take anywhere from 60-90 days for us to send you your commission and here’s why: first you make your purchase, stores add it to their list and they send it to us within 30-60 days, once they send it to us, depending on where we’re at, if we just paid out commissions ,then the very next commission run, we will send it to you. So no worries, you will receive that commission check as long as your purchase is over $15.

Other new additions include Lands’ End (2-4% commission and Payless Shoe Source (6% commission). Also, on the Big N Marketplace homepage, you will see a list of latest updates. Go there and see our recent additions and right below that there are new coupons some retailers are now offering, all in one spot. On the left side of the page, there’s good information on various commissions, trouble shooting a place for your suggestions and so forth. One of my favorite stores is drugstore.com. They make shopping very easy.
“2006 Eagle Winners Dennis & Debbie Martin were here for their Lessons & Lifestyle of an Eagle Red Carpet Premiere event. They were a true joy to be around. They have done so much for so many and continue to mentor other leaders.  They have been a big part of TN’s success in the last 15 years.  Their red carpet event link is on Facebook so check it out, it was a very cool and fun event. And for all you TNTV subscribers, their awesome story is live on TNTV, so check it out. It is neat to see how many nuggets are shared throughout their story. “ – Angela
In October, we’ll have the Garrison’s here for their big day as well. It is great to celebrate with all of our Eagles and fun to see their excitement.

Well, we have some Winterfest winners to announce and congratulate. This contest ended on business ending 9/21.  Next Monday we’ll have the final list of winners. We do have some additional winners that I’d like to recognize. You can track the leaders and see where you are at by logging in to bign.com and look under current promotions, Winterfest Contest.

Now, let’s shift gears and talk about so many good things going on here. Lots of success stories and life-changing stories, which I truly love to hear and it’s one of my favorite parts of TN. Continue to send in your stories of encouragement and success.  We share these with the staff as well.
“In a recent Success Club, I came across a book entitled, Create a Life You Can’t Wait to Live by Zig Ziglar. In it, he talks about igniting your passion and purpose.  Develop a passionate plan, otherwise you won’t follow through. Live your life differently because of your passionate plan.” – Angela
Richard Cushing’s quote – “Plan ahead.  It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.”

Starting your plan before you need it.

Zig Ziglar’s Strategic Planning (4 points =dynamics). The planning process is continuous, it is not a series of steps that start and stop.

1 – Have faith

2 – Take action (plug into conference calls, attend events, and then take action)

3 – Learn as you go. Life is learning.

4 – Persevere with hope

Zig Ziglar’s quote – “You don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.“
