A Poem

Knowledge this the basis of humanity

Individual acts change the world’s view

Need beyond all else in life starts with it

Doing it imprints on your soul rightfullness

Now more then ever people will feel your acts of authenticity

Emotionally able to heal and lift spirits

Selflessness leads others to do likewise

Society, community and planet become a better place

Does a Business Card Legitimize You?

Does a Business Card Legitimize You?

My business cards arrived yesterday YAY!!!

This had me thinking does this mean when I hand a business card to my contacts or when I connect with a new client will they automatically think I am ‘legit’??? I am going to say YES!!!

Why… because of my relationships I have built with the construction & building industry leaders.

Why…I carry their business cards to hand to contacts / clients along with mine!

This sphere of influential people will be able to speak to my integrity, my knowledge and my professionism.

Remember people still buy from PEOPLE!

Balance not necessarily Even

There are many items on our daily to do lists from writing down goals to taking the kids to volleyball games to seeing clients and finally time for yourself.

Balance what a word! In life is there ever a time you felt everything was on an even keel? Probably not and if you answered YES then I’d love to meet you.

We prioritize what is important, what has value and where to spend our energy. This is very different for each of us and this is where we need compassion, patience and ultimately understanding with each other.

How you accomplish this is by asking and respecting when we ask the magic question …’do you have TIME to talk to me now?’ And LISTEN to the response! The answer will go far to balance out your life and the lives of others.

Participation verses Showing Up

In school these days there are ribbons given out just for participating in a sport or a science fair or school function. I often wonder why schools do this… does it motivate the student to attend or does it do something for their self esteem?

Now as an adult if you just participate in your life’s work without layering on the ‘showing-up’ portion good luck in achieving your goals.

Showing-up goes beyond the job description, showing-up is doing something out of the ordinary for your client, showing-up is knowing why you chose to become whatever you are in business or life. No-one gives you a ribbon, or medal or certificate when you show-up…what YOU ARE GIVEN is RESPECT!

Everyday be the ‘present’ for the people you meet by wrapping yourself in ‘show’ and you will be rewarded by how your sells, client base and life experiences go UP!

Yours in gratitude

What now?

Many, many times I started my day with a ‘what if I do this’ or ‘what if I did that’ or ‘what if this happens’ or ‘what if, what if, what if??’ This began my day with the feeling of I am going to allow outside forces to control my journey. Places me stuck is someone else’s rut!

How about spinning that around and ask yourself ‘What now?’…..Whoa the possibilities created open the roads, clears the way, puts you in charge of every situation in your path.

What now takes care of ‘SELF’ a hard pill to swallow for some. Much wisdoms have been said ‘if you don’t take care of yourself….how will you take care of others?’ Or ‘It all begins with Me’. Think of this not as selfish but selfless as when you hold your head high in confidence, your body standing tall, your spirit is soaring…..What Now my friend…..WHAT NOW???

The Power of the Ask!

One of my passions in Life is helping others be it belonging to community organizations or volunteer in serving a hot meal to a street friend or just being a good friend. What constantly amazes me is when I ASK for help, a donation, a favour or a hug how people show me their generosity. The way I see it when they are able to observe your authentic ASK they can’t not want to help. This always rings true in my business with regards to relationship building. When I provide the right product, the right service or the right price to a client and ASK for their buy into it they say YES! Why because I authentically care….pretty simple!

Be aware customers Always will see through you when all you want to do is make a sale.

Be yourself, Be authentic and Be in the Power of the YES!

Why We Remember

Why We Remember

To remember is to show you care, to remember is to embrace love, to remember is to acknowledge a person, and to remember is to respect the past.

We all have our life’s moments where we permanently imprint on our souls a special occasion… the first meeting of your partner, the birth of a child or children, the job you always wished for or when you came into your own as a person. We call these memories, the time we get to reflect what has happened to US in OUR world.

On one day a year on November 11th at thee eleventh hour of thee eleventh minute we STOP in remembrance of ALL the men and women who fought for OUR country Canada. Lest We Forget this sacrifice of humanity…. For today WE are Free to create many more moments of Love, Joy and Grace.

In gratitude,

Being Present…the greatest gift.

When my friends, family and colleagues ask me why I have chosen to pursue this dream of consultanting to the the building industry…one theme keeps coming up for me. Presence is a gift….a gift I have to give every time I meet someone new. To me life is precious, life is short, and life is full! When we are presence for one and another devoid of all the clutter of social media, chatter of TV or radio or worrying about emails to answer or call make and we look to the person in front of you and we value the present to us….themselves!

We are human being….not human doings!

CHANGING THE INDUSTRY…

​Where does the story of Jeanette Y. Martin start? My beginning is being part of a large family of nine; two sisters & four brothers and I sit right smack in the middle of all of them and what a lucky position for sure! Why you might ask? I grew up with the understanding of compromise; I saw how a large group of people corporate; I was taught we all must do our part in our family and in life; and the most important lesson my parents instilled in us kids…” Without a Customer…You have Nothing!”

That message drove me to my chosen career a as Sales Professional for many of the top companies in Canada. From a deli counter girl, at family deli, serving world class gourmet goodies to the position of Director of Sales & Marketing with the responsibility of assisting clients with their purchase of the finest Canadian made hardwood flooring for their homes…. Wow now that is a diversified Sales Life!

The next chapter of my Sales Professional career is the introduction of MYBC Consulting; a company where I will approach the building materials industry with innovative techniques to assist store owners/managers to hire, to train and to build authentic relationships with both their internal and external customer.

My approach to business is “If you want a different result….be Different”
I am very excited to have joined the BC Floor Covering Association and will continue to sit on the Board of Directors for my final year……for together we will….

Change the Industry……One Family at a Time!
