Join us for the unveiling of the new Heritage Makers Showcase system. Now, you will have a simple system for holding Heritage Makers Business Opportunity meetings, called Showcases.

Feel free to bring a guest who might be interested in joining us as a Heritage Maker Consultant or just come to watch the actual presentation. Seeing the Showcase in person is the best way to understand the entire process. After the Showcase from 8:00 – 8:30p.m., we will answer any questions and give you the opportunity to follow up with your guests.

At 8:30 p.m. we will be holding a drawing for a FREE Business Kit for all eligible clients. To top off the evening we will be recognizing those consultants who are in attendance for top activity in sales and sponsoring, Club 500, Presidents Club and more.

Quote of the Day

Find what you love to do. Find your passion. Know what makes you want to get up in the morning, that's all you need.

—Condoleeza Rice

WHY I Do What I Do...

I have 11 words that I tell my clients...What I do. Why I do it. How I do it. That's my business in a nut shell. Some of you may think I'm nuts, being so passionate about my Heritage Makers business, and you may be a bit right. Who can say they absolutely LOVE their job? Not many....So...

WHAT I DO...I help people preserve their photos through storybooking. I help people solve their picture problem. I help people strengthen their home and family through story. That is What I Do.

WHY I DO IT...I am a Heritage Maker because our generation is the last generation who has real paper photos (pre-2000 and hand-me-downs from relatives). I will not hand down a memory stick, a hard drive, or a disc to my son. Everyone deserves to read the story behind the photos they take. They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Who's writing your 1,000 words?

HOW I DO IT...I do it with our online publishing studio (MAC and PC friendly). I do it with over 35,000 pieces of digital artwork at my disposal. I do it with text boxes that have no word limit. I do it when my son is sleeping or when my husband is giving him a bath. I make time. I do it by learning through other amazing consultants and my team.

I invite you to join me as a workshop host or consultant. But most importantly, as a client. Your picture problem will only get worse. You will never have a less busier time in your life than right now. This company has changed my life and it is my goal as a Heritage Maker Future Diamond Executive to change the lives of others.
