Here is some info from www.caroltuttle.com about how to use what you have to attract even more!
"In today's world, it is easy to relate our level of happiness and security to how much money we have. I understand completely!! We create more choices for ourselves when we have more money. But if you wait until your money shows up to let your happiness grow, you are defeating the purpose of your current experience of a lack of money.
God would love for you to learn how to create more happiness now, while cash is scarce, so you don't have to learn it when cash is more plentiful.
Don't give the power of your level of happiness to money.
Release money to be a resource that is easily available to you, and that flows to you freely.
Your belief system is creating your current experience with money.
Change your belief about money and you will change your bank account!
Write a new script for money. Take a dollar bill and write all over the dollar bill these statements: I have done this and keep in my wallet where I see it all the time! Whenever I am in a place where I have a few spare moments, I can pull it out and read it and imprint the messages in my conscious and subconscious! I would also recommend taping the dollar bill to your bathroom mirror so you can read it every day when you are dressing and putting on your makeup. It is fabulous and it only costs you $2 to put it in both places.
I am worthy of money
I am good with money
Money flows to me easily
Money supports me
I am in harmony with a greater flow of money
I am grateful for the money I have now
I am receiving money from expected and unexpected places
I am honoring others who have more money than I have
I am choosing happiness now, no matter how much money I have
If you think of others that vibrate with you write those as well – here are some of the others I have written:
Money obeys me
I am a great steward of money
I (money) easily flow to Sarah and multiply as I come.
I am in harmony and vibration with a greater and greater flow of money
I bless those who have more money than me and respect them for holding the vibration that they do.
I am great with money
Add a new belief to your new money script every day. (You can use a dry erase marker to write on your mirror, and it will clean off easily or add to the dollar bill. Since you are writing on the dollar bill you will not be spending it, just keep it to add to your new script with money).
Basic Booking to guarantee few postponements &high sales
1. Make a list of all the women you know that you have not facialed yet
2. Write their phone numbers next to their name.
3. Put a * next to the names of the women that you can see in person
4. Decide on a reason for booking those women (Model of Beauty, etc.)
5. Carve out minutes of time during your day for making phone calls - don't set aside a whole evening or afternoon - you'll get scared.
6. Practice how you will ask them - including the chit-chat involved first.
7. Decide on what incentive you'll have for her - it can be:
Discount
Free Product
Computerized look with take-home instructions
Free Gift
Meeting her need (professional look for work, glamour look for wedding, etc.)
** Your incentive may be more than one of the above.
8. Keep a running list - as you think of more names, write them down.
9. Call the 'easiest' name first. This boosts your morale.
10. If you need, listen to a Positive CD before calling, or put on pumped-up music before.
11. Have your date-book open and filled with your personal obligations. Know when YOU have the time to schedule an appointment.
12. Be sure to focus on new faces. Parties are easy to schedule when you are excited about what you are promoting as hostess credit. It totally depends on the customer - some like groups, some don't. Be totally open to what she likes. Build that relationship.
13. Be excited - have a positive expectancy and even 'role-play' her positive response in a day dream before you call.
14. Make the calls. Don't worry about the answers, just get through your list.
15. Celebrate your success. Even one booking is a success! Jump, dance sing - you just accomplished the most important part of your business! Booking -
Here are some 'scripts'....
# 1 Hi, I’m so excited! Our company just came out with computerized custom makeovers and I’d love for you to try the special look they pick for you! Do you have time in the next week that we could get together? I’ll print out the computerized report based on your hair, eye shape & color and lip shape—it is SO cool. I haven’t had anyone try it yet who doesn’t LOVE their new look—and there are several to choose from. Which would be better for you, a day or an evening? (set the day and time then say) As long as I’m coming, if you know anyone else who would enjoy a computerized makeover, they’re more than welcome to be there too! I’ll bring along a couple of extra trays and mirrors just in case! When you mention what you’re doing they’ll all be jealous!! :)
#2 Hi____________, am I catching you at a bad time? I was wondering if I could ‘borrow your face’ for a contest I’m in this summer! For the month of July we are to do 30 faces and I was hoping you could help me out. You don’t have to buy anything...I just need to put Mary Kay on 30 faces next month. I thought if you could check your calendar, maybe we could squeeze in an hour or so and you could pamper yourself! Great. When is a good day for you—beginning of the week or end of the week. Good. What about Tuesday or Wednesday? Great. Is next Tuesday good for you? OK. Which would be better, 7 or 7:30. Super. Now, as long as I’m coming if you know of anyone who would enjoy a makeover, that would be great if they would like to join in. They don’t have to buy a thing—it’s just one more face on my way to 30! Great! I’d appreciate you thinking of anyone you can!
Then….be prepared for objections. Women are busy. When they tell you no, it may be just that they can’t imagine a time, so it is up to you to make yourself available to their schedules. Try these ideas:
“We’re leaving on vacation” Oh great. Where are you going? When will you be back? Would you mind if we set something up for the week after you get back—I don’t know about you but traveling with kids always makes me need a vacation from my vacation!”
GREAT JOB!! We just wrapped up our HOT JULY!!!

I just had to share this awesome e-mail that was sent to me by Carol Tuttle
"The information I share will have a positive effect on your life if you do one thing: Read it with the INTENTION to put the information to practice in your life for the next 7 days.
Print it out and refer to it through the week.
Happiness is a "STATE OF BEING". In today's world we make it a CONDITION. In BEING HAPPY, only YOU have the power within to ALLOW HAPPINESS AS YOUR STATE OF BEING.
These brief and powerful messages are designed to give you the insight and tools to bring your God given design of happiness alive in your life and to use the power God has given you to CREATE a joy-filled, prosperous life.
To create better health, amazing relationships, and a substantial flow of money to
support your purpose. Start this week with activating:
The Power of Appreciation and Gratitude
Appreciation and gratitude are two of the most powerful emotional states we can be in. Appreciate everything. Express gratitude for every single moment of your life. The more you create feelings of appreciation and gratitude, the more you will attract into your life which you can appreciate and for which you can feel gratitude. Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations in which we can be. Look for things for which you can be grateful.
Everyday this week as you are driving along in the car play the Grateful Game.Either by yourself or with your family, share out loud what you are grateful for.Everything counts. Keep going and see how big you can make your list.Write yourself a reminder, "play the Grateful Game" and put it on your dashboard in your car.
Do you have emotional energy that keeps coming up and bogging down your life? We recycle emotional energy from our past experiences every day of our lives. It is only coming up over and over again because your body wants to clear it.
Remember happiness is a state of being that God has specifically designed you for. You are created to be in charge of your happiness, no matter the condition of your life.

The date was July 16, 2008. It was late in the afternoon and I was sitting in my hotel room in Louisville, Kentucky. I was scheduled to speak that evening for the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA). I was a little "down in the dumps." I hadn't gotten to exercise lately because of my traveling schedule and recently I'd experienced some mild bouts of vertigo (that inner ear condition that can cause the room to start spinning.) You got it...speaking and "spinning" are not good partners!
My keynote presentation was scheduled for 7:00 PM, but I had been invited to show up at 6:00 to see a performance they said I'd enjoy. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
They introduced the young musician. Welcome...Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes. He was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair, and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music.
He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. There was this aura about him that I really can't explain and the smile...his smile was magic!
About ten minutes into Patrick's performance, someone came on the stage and said..."I'd like to share a 7-minute video titled, The Patrick Henry Hughes story." And the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes, and a tightening of the joints which left him crippled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, "I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he'd get it." By his second birthday, he was playing requests (You Are My Sunshine, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). His father was ecstatic. "We might not play baseball, but we can play music together."
Today, Patrick is a junior at the University of Louisville. His father attends classes with him and he's made nearly all A's, with the exception of 3 B's. He's also a part of the 214 member marching band. You read it right...the marching band! He's a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and the half-time performance in front of thousands. His father rolls and rotates his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick's fans. In order to attend Patrick's classes and every band practice, his father works the graveyard shift at UPS. Patrick said..."My dad's my hero."
But even more than his unbelievable musical talent, it was Patrick's "attitude of gratitude" that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he would talk to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, "God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability...the musical gifts I have...the great opportunity to meet new people."
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes. It gave me giant goose bumps!
My life was ready to meet Patrick Henry Hughes. I needed a hero, and I found one for the ages. If I live to be a hundred, I'll never forget that night, that smile, that music, but most importantly, that wonderful "attitude of gratitude."
I returned to Chicago and shared Patrick's story with my wife, my friends, and our team at Simple Truths. About two weeks later, I received a letter from a friend. He said, "Mac, I don't know who said it, but I think you'll love this quote."
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain!"
I thought...that's it! We all face adversity in our life. However, it's not the adversity, but how we react to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our life. During tough times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves, or, can we, with gratitude...learn how to dance in the rain?
It almost sounds too simple to feel important, but one word...gratitude, can change your attitude, thus, your life, forever. Sarah Breathnach said it best...
"When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present....we experience heaven on earth."

Get Started!!
by Ralph Marston
If you can't imagine how you'll get it done, just get started.
The moment you begin, the objective becomes
infinitely more achievable than it was before.
It's great to dream and plan and speculate.
Yet there is no substitute for action.
Action seals your commitment to achieve.
Action places you in a powerful, achievement-oriented perspective.
When you take the first step, you become clear about what
the next step must be.
When you take the next step, you have created a momentum
that can continue pushing you all the way to the end.
Go beyond just thinking you can do it. Take action, and know
for sure.
When there's something to be done, then there's something you can do.
Get started and get the power of action working for you.
We have been challenged by the company to hold more shows/parties/appointments than EVER before! In order to do that we must choose to book more appointments than EVER before! So here’s the deal! I have divided our entire unit up into teams and am challenging EVERY consultant in our unit to book 3 appointments by July 1st at midnight! They don’t have to be held by then - they just have to be scheduled for sometime in July!
What will you do with the extra $500 - $1000 that will come from you holding 3 or more appointments in July? Will you pay bills? Take a family vacation? Open a “emergency fund”? Give to charity? Whatever your dream is bookings make YOUR dreams come true!
Can't remember if I told you that:
I have moved out from Beggars Alley, located at 2 Poverty Lane, at the corner of Down and Out Circle. As of today, I have a brand new home.
My new address is Living Well on 231 Abundance Terrace, located at the corner of Blessings Drive and Prosperity Peak . It's in the God Can neighborhood. No longer will I allow myself to travel to the other side of town on Begging Peter to Pay Paul Route, located at a dead end intersection called I Don't Have, which connects with Borrowers Junction!
I no longer hang out at Failure's Place, near Excuses Avenue , next to Procrastination Point. I've moved to an upscale community called Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for me to succeed. I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me!
Life is good because God is good! Care to change your address? There are many vacancies!
