A moment of silence for my sadness, but not a second more

Tonight, I have been tying up loose ends with my direct sales businesses. It is interesting how you can go from all to nothing so quickly.

I am feeling a bit sad because I truly loved Clever Container and my Clever gals and genuinely thought that I would go far with the company. A year ago I was anxiously anticipating a trip to Chicago for the first ever convention. If you had told me then that I would be writing this now, I would have told you that you were completely crazy. I rolled off the ranks of Clever Container for lack of personal volume, something I could have done something about really but I thought my energy was best suited elsewhere.

I joined/added another company, Do You Bake, at the end of December. On a personality basis, baking and cooking is much better suited to me than organizing. Honestly, I had intended to incorporate the two of them into some sort of beautiful and compliant with both companies relationship. I guess, though, that was not in the mix. I resigned my affiliation with Do You Bake earlier this evening. Unfortunately, there are a number of issue that make it impossible for me as who I am to actively continue with that company.

It's kinda like when you leave a boyfriend for a guy you perceive as somewhat cooler only to discover that the new guy is a complete tool and you have no chemistry. I've been happily married almost five years so I am totally unprepared for that feeling.

Sigh.


The good news is that I have my husband and his music. I have realized over the past couple of days that for all the time I have spent not making any money in direct sales, I could have not been making money for him. You say codependent, I say symbiotic. I have made three videos for him in the last week. Actually, four but the last one is still in process. I didn't do it because he asked me to, I did it because I wanted to and I enjoyed it. Now to drive traffic to http://www.reverbnation.com/enpde !  It's kinda one of those things where I want to advocate liking and hiding but not so much because those of you who really know me know that I am completely discerning about men who claim to be musicians and that I could never date...let alone marry some who completely sucked. His music is "electronic" and most of it is strictly instrumental. There are three free downloads available and actually if I can get enough interest I could run a giveaway of CDs because we have a few left over from when enpde was a band and not a solitary bastion of awesomeness.

So we'll never be organized nor will we schlepp baked goods mixes but we'll have each other and a combining of talents. Hmmm, seems fair, not let's see what happens.

In all seriousness, though, I meant what I said about feeling sad about Clever. I feel like I let a lot of people down and I am not sure how to make amends for that.

Until next time...

Saturday Sort Out: Clever Container

I am a little short on brain power this week to talk about organizing. It's been a whirlwind week, and to be honest as I stare at the disaster I call home, it feels a little hypocritical to tell you how to organize.

For some reason, of my Clever post, the most popular of all time is a end of catalog sale one. I was going to say which is pointless, but it occurred to me just now that I could redo the links and make it profitable.

Anyway, because I am lacking in the brain department, I am just going to share with you this week, the second most popular post about Clever.

Enjoy!

Saturday's for Clean Up with Clever Container

As I previously mentioned, I am merging my Clever Container blog into this blog. I figure since Saturday is a clean-up and clean-out day for most folks I'd give Saturdays to Clever Container.

If you are new to the blog and are not familiar with Clever Container, it is a direct sales company focused on home organization products. I have been a consultant since May 2011 was lucky enough to attend the first ever consultant conference and hoping to be able to hit the Nashville conference this year.

If you would like to browse the selection, place an order, whatever, hop over to http://www.CleverContainer.com/GetCleverNow  this is my personal consultant site and I do appreciate your business. If there is a party in the drop down, feel free to exercise a little random kindness and add your order to it.

The only thing I really have today...well.. two things.

1. The giveaway is still going on here.
2. February Special!

Have a great day and don't work too hard!

Kindness in Giving/GetCleverNow.com Rafflecopter Giveaway

In the words of Tone Loc,"Let's do it" (Hopefully you now have the bassline to "Wild Thang" running through your head.)

I said a couple weeks ago that I was going to try do this. I said by I'd try by Spring but then the other day I quoted Yoda. So I'm DOING it! Kindness in Giving's FIRST giveaway!

GetCleverNow.com  is the blog page I have been running for my Clever Container business. It has been fun and I have gotten a lot of good feedback. It occurred to me that it would be a moment of working smarter if I just combined by Clever Container musings into the mix here at KIGCL. What better way to celebrate the change than with a Clever Container Giveaway via Rafflecopter.

Up for grabs is a collection of Clever gear. All items featured in this giveaway can be purchased from Clever Container. The total value of this package is $111.00, and contains a scarf hanger, a Phubby, Car Hooks, Message Center, Couponizer, GripIt On the Go, Iron/Iron Board Hanger and a set of large Shelf Dividers.

This is giveaway is only open to US residents. Clever Container does not currently operate outside the US so it would be soo unfair to get you addicted to Clever Container with no means of getting more. This giveaway will end at 11:59pm on 2/8/2012. The winner will be announced within 48 hours of the contest end.

GOOD LUCK!
