She works hard for the money


You can roam and roam but there's no place like home! It's nice to be back in Miami. Amber came home today from Los Angeles with Brooke Hogan (her best friend) and I was so excited to see her. She had only been gone for 4 days, but it was too long for us. We missed her so much. Then this evening we had this incredible dinner at Paulina Rubios house with Yehuda Berg. (he is the very spiritual Kabbalah teacher who married Madonna and Demi Moore) Much more than that, he is a man of knowledge and depth, and JR and I grow so much when he is around. I think he is going to come to leadership to experience the excitement of the Market America family..Paulina is coming for sure! When we came home I had noticed several things that had been sent over to me by many stores to borrow or buy for our event next week..(borrowing is great, when you have worn it out, you can send it back without any committment, like a bad date:) Wow, the selection is overwhelming and extrememly enticing. How can shopping and buying that hot new pair of almost sold out YSL shoes just brighten our day, change our mood and makes us happy? What's the obsession...? JR and Andrew say "we understand it, but we dont understand it." Mmmm...how do you explain how you feel in that fantastic dress, or that suit that makes you look taller and slimmer? Those gorgeous new RSVP cassidy eel-skin shoes that I can buy on Zappos for$69.95 and can earn 20% back...oooh I want them in every color (look-a-likes sell for over $300.00) . How about the incredible brown patent satchel at Target made by fabulous designer Loeffler Randall that only costs $49.99 but looks just like the one that she makes for the high end department stores that sells for over $600.00....Thats what I call the look for less....That feeling of getting a great deal..sometimes so good you can go broke buying them all:) But it feels soooo good...and it looks soooo good... Maybe JR won't ever understand the obsession but that's o.k....and with shopping this good, who needs to feel guilty....indulge...You work hard for the money.. and I don't know about you,

I like my money right where I can see it....hanging in my closet:)

    Loren, I have to be be honest, I don't like this shopping thing at all, but I LOVE it! When I start my blog soon after leadership school, I wil be able to share my perspective of mutual experiences (that could be fun and interesting:) I will also include the vison and mission of the company, which I must admit shopping is part of....after all we are changing the way people shop and even paying them to do so..it's good we see eye to eye on some things! At least your shopping habit is paying off now:)I love talking to my wife this way because she can't talk back....but she sure does know how to help alot of people! Whether its showing them how to dress, what to buy for themselve or someone else, she's a great teacher and I forget how funny she is...I feel like I am reading an incredible novel and I have to admit that I love it. Keep on teaching and sharing and I will keep coming here daily and doing the same...this really is so much fun and addictive...just like shopping, I guess!!!
    All my love, JR

    Loren!

    Glad to see you making an active public presence online. You have a huge fan club already, but those not "in the know" about Loren will be better off to find you here!

    Keep writing, we'll be eagerly anticipating every post!

    Loren,

    FashionCents is a great idea. I looked at some of the stores you recommended for Men and it looks great!

    I know you and JR are working hard and I want to thank you both for taking time to do this for the field!

    Loren,
    I have a question for you. Where does one start to do a fashion make over? I am so confused, I need a new look, I'm tired of my clothes, I want to create a whole new wardrobe, but what and where to I go to buy it? At 57 years old with lots of G-children, I want to stay young and look young to keep up with them. I am a professional ski instructor and play golf and sail, and theaching the g-children all these fun things, so As an up and coming Director w/MA I need to look the part, my carhart jeans, turtle necks, fleece and khakis are so comfortable, yes I have business attire, but tired of those too. Anyway, just point me in the right directions. I feel I need to go to fashion school or something. Do you give private lessons? LOL

    See you in Miami
    Thanks Catherine LH

    You and JR are such an inspiration to all ma distributors. It absolutely blows my mind how much you and the Executive Team accomplish EVERY 6 months. There's not a company in corporate America that can pull off what you do in such a short time -- EVERY time!!!

    Thank you for all you do for us. Keep up the GREAT work!!!

    See you at Leadership.

    JR and Loren,

    Unfortunatley I will not be able to attend Leadership but if Yehuda Berg is attending everyone will be in for a treat...to have a spiritual leader come will raise everyones vibrations and the amazing power that already is Market America will be brought to a new level!!!!

    and JR, Loren is on the right track..women show their hard work off with shoes, bags and clothes ... its men's equivalent of cars, boats and toys... can't wait to see that on ma.com :-P

    Love to the entire MA family!
