Remember the FUTURE!

(This post will most likely be back dated since I am doing bunches of stuff, so my bad LOL)

Remember the FUTURE!

Today is Monday March 9th of 2015 and I am overjoyed at the direction that my life is taking! This time 2 years ago I was in a toxic relationship wit my ex-fiancee & father of my child. I wanted so desperately to make it work with him. He was my first "love," and I truly believed that if I loved him enough and correctly, that everything would change in time. I gave that relationship 5 years and 9 months of my life, but one day I realized that things would only change for the worse.

That's when I decided to remember the future! When I met him, I had big plans and I knew exactly who I was and where I was going. I had my future mapped out perfectly and it was only a matter of time before I took off and did great things. In him, I lost myself, and it took a child to remind me.

I thought about my son that day when everything finally ended, and I once again remembered the future. I knew what was in store for him if I stayed and I knew that if I stayed I wouldn't be able to achieve the level of success that I had envisioned for myself. So, in my efforts to remember and re-envision my future, I had to let go of something that I cherished; I have been tremendously blessed ever since.

It's been two years since those times, and the dust is settling. I can see more clearly every day that what I thought was necessary for my life was never meant to be in my life. Now, I am free. I am happy, an my son can become the man that God created him to be!

Product Feature: Castile & other 100% Olive Oil Soaps

Castile Soap

Bedtime Bliss

 

  Castile & other 100% Olve Oil Soaps

Morning Glory

Castile Soap, made from 100% olive oil, is not new to the world of soap. True Castile soap is made with no other oils, butters, or fragrances and dates back to the 12th century! Castile soap gets its name from the city where it was originally crafted in Castile, Spain! Olive oil is an amazingly skin lovin' oil! Olive oil is known as the most gentle and mild of all soap making oils, and why wouldn't it be? Olive oil is rich in oleic acid (Omega-9) which is a fatty acid that aids in the conditioning properties of soap. Olive oil's chemical composition is 63-85% oleic acid with a little bit of palmitic (adds to hardness of bar and lather), loneleic (also aids in conditioning properties), and stearic acids (also aids in hardness and lather abilities) to balance it out.

 

Our 100% Olive oil soaps are crafted with high quality extra virgin olive oil to create a conditioning off-white/beige bar of soap. We also offer Bedtime Bliss and Morning Glory soaps that are 100% olive oil soaps. Bedtime bliss is an olive oil soap that is crafted with chamomile infused olive oil and scented with lavender essential oil. Morning Glory olive oil soap is specially crafted with chamomile & calendula infused olive oil Moroccan Rhassoul clay, and a delightful aroma of lemongrass and grapefruit essential oils! To purchase your 100% Olive Oil soaps, please visit the Blessed Body Brand Marketplace. Get your skin lovin' on!!

Prosperity Legacy,LLC on the Arise Network: Certifications, Clients & SOWs

Prosperity Legacy,LLC on the Arise Network: Certifications, Clients & SOWs

Congratulations! You have successful created your profile, passed the voice assessment & background check, completed your interview, and CSP 101! Now what? Now that you are certified, you can select a client opportunity. Opportunities will be listed on the portal. Once a class is filled, it will be removed from the portal. If you'd like to know how much an opportunity pays, contact your IBO and they will give you the information based on their revenue structure. For Prosperity Legacy, LLC, CSPs receive all bonuses offered by client and all wages minus the Prosperity Legacy fee of $10 or 5% each invoice period, whichever is higher as payment for our services to you. This amount is also subject to change without notice. This blog will be updated if that amount changes. Arise also charges a fee of $19.75 per invoice period once you are certified in a client course as payment for tech support services.

Certification courses are usually 4 weeks (some are longer/shorter based on client needs) and run 4 hrs per day Monday through Friday. There is usually a morning course (9-1 EST), an evening class (7-10 EST), and occasionally an afternoon class (2-6 EST). Select the course that fits your schedule best. Please be advised that all courses have a no absence policy. If you must miss a class for any reason, please contact your instructor first! Depending on your participation in the course and your progress on self-paced work, your instructor may be able to discuss waiving the missed course with the client. We all have emergencies, and they don't announce themselves! After contacting your instructor, please contact Prosperity Legacy for documentation purposes. Most certification courses are similar: instructor led portion, self paced homework, mock calls for certification, and a nesting period for call taking.

Once you complete your certification course and pass your certification and nesting phase, you will be awarded an initial Statement of Work (SOW) with the client that outlines your rights, responsibilities, and revenue. The initial SOW is usually 2-3 months, and clients are generally a little more forgiving during this time; however, once your contract is renewed, you will be held to the same standards as seasoned CSPs. Your SOW will outline how many hours the client expects you to work weekly and any weekend work requirements that they may have. For example, you may be required to work 20 hours a week including two hours on Saturday or Sunday. You can schedule those 20 hours however you'd like as long as you service 20 hours and two hours are on the weekend.

Each client also has other performance metrics that are tracked and your performance will be reviewed. While you are working from home and are in charge of your schedule, you are still a contractor for whichever client you select and of Prosperity Legacy, LLC. These metrics are discussed in your certification course as well as your Statement of Work (SOW) contract. Be sure to read and review your SOW once received as this is only a small portion of the information contained in your SOW. Have questions? Please e-mail your questions to shanta@prosperitylegacyllc.com with subject "More Info-Arise Blog."
