The First Few Weeks

The first weeks with MyLifeShare, I spent quite a bit of time using the studio and making cards with the layouts provided. I made my husband an anniversary card that still sits on his desk. A simple white card that has about 10 of my favorite pictures of the 2 of us throughout the years we have spent together.I knew I needed to get the word out, so I started at Selman Chevrolet. The sales manager was excited and told me he would speak to the higher ups about it. In my excitement, I allowed him to take all of my samples. I would just have to make more cards to send to myself to replace them. I also tried a ford dealership and Toyota dealership. The manager at Toyota told me to try higher end vehicles. So I spent time making cards for car dealerships and sent several of them out. I didn't hear anything back from anyone. While I was discouraged that noone immediately picked up the phone and felt that these were the greatest tool in sales since the telephone, I realized that this was just a hobby and was first and foremost a tool for me in my other business, so I didn't sweat it. Over the weeks, we had conference calls with Michael Yanke, the CEO of MyLifeShare, that always lifted my spirits and inspired me. A meeting with a group of associates where Michaela showed us how to use blog skins and images from the web to enhance our cards breathed new life into me and the cards I was creating as well. But then reality would set in that I was a stay at home mom who had 8 hours a week when the kids were in school to do what I needed to do for a business and for MYSELF. But I longed to be able to share MyLifeShare with others, as I feel it is really going places and is the future.
