About

Almost seven years ago, I started my own business educating others about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables through a product called Juice Plus. I was very excited about my new found passion. I told everyone I knew (and a lot I didn’t know) how easy, simple, and affordable it was to get the nutrition they needed.

Six months after I started my business, my husband and I moved from Florida to Alabama. I didn’t know anybody so I had to start all over again. I slowly began building relationships and passing out CDs. Customer by customer, my business grew. I was pregnant with our second child and soon found myself on bed rest. I was able to maintain my customer base but it took a couple of months after I gave birth before I was ready to get started again.

Through trial and error, I realized that if I planned my week in advance, I was much more consistent in my activity and less stressed. My schedule was no longer floating around in my head! So, each Sunday evening, I sat down for thirty minutes and planned the next week’s activities. I used a 2 by 2 by 2 by 2 worksheet that outlines two calls each day in the following categories: prospects, customers, team members, and personal or business growth. It is often referred to as the Daily Method of Operation (DMO). This DMO kept me focused and on task. My team began to grow and we were enjoying my growing paycheck as well!

Nineteen months later, our third baby was born and fourteen months after that we found ourselves moving again. This time it was to our home town in New Mexico. It was a little easier getting started because I had a small, warm market, but I had to build my reputation as a health and nutrition educator nonetheless.

At this point, slowing down or stopping for a few months would have been easier than moving forward. I loved what I was doing, but it was tough to juggle three small children, the house, family, church, coordinating our local Mother’s of Preschoolers organization, and working from home. However, the thought of quitting evaporated quickly when my husband’s two year old Internet business crashed overnight. I still remember the morning he walked in and told me it was over. Besides Juice Plus, our income had gone to zero.

I loved the house we were in and the thought of losing it made me reset my goal to making our mortgage payment. We lived off my Juice Plus income and savings for almost three year as my husband did his best to rebuild his business. My husband was thankful that I had put the time into building my business at a time when we didn’t need the income. That income was now keeping us afloat!

Once again, I put my DMO plan into action. I knew that activity always begets results, so I started doing more health presentations, distributor trainings, three-way calls, and one-on-one trainings. As my activity grew, my team grew and my business grew. One of the hardest parts about this business is maintaining consistent activity. It’s easy to slow down when you’re getting great results like a consecutive number of orders or a working distributor. But if you back off, you lose the momentum you gained. I did my best to keep the same pace and increased when I could. The DMO helped me do that because I was reassessing my business every week. This weekly planning was the life blood of my business.

My team rocketed upward and so did I because of my “organizational action” plan. I made Senior Sales Coordinator (SSC) a year after we moved to New Mexico. A year after that, I walked the stage in Memphis as a Qualified National Marketing Director (QNMD)!

After I reached QNMD, I searched for a planner to help me dig out from under the pile of sticky notes and organizational notebooks I had accumulated. I had a hard time finding one that gave me a monthly view, room to write my daily activities, and time slots for each week day. I needed all my info in one place that was convenient enough to take with me if I went to the park with the kids or while waiting in line to pick up my son from school. I couldn’t find one online or in the stores so I made it myself! I created my own version and had a three month planner printed and bound at Staples. I loved it.

There was only one problem. It was expensive! I paid $26 for a three month planner. I used it faithfully for three months and was ready for another one. But I didn’t want to spend $26 again. I knew other people in this type of business would find it as helpful like I had. I asked my husband to help me find a solution, which he did. He found a company that could help us print affordable and accessible planners. The DMOPlanner is the result of that work.

After less than three years in NM, my husband was offered a job back in Alabama. We were gratful for the income, yet I was devistaded to have to “leave” my incredible team. Once again, it has been my weekly plan and DMO that has kept my business moving forward and keeps me connected to my team all over the country.

We put together this site to share this awesome tool with others. I have no doubt this planner has been instrumental in my business growth. It’s a money saver—$30 for a full year as opposed to $120 if you did it yourself—as well as a time saver.

My business is proof that it will get and keep you organized and on task. It’s also a convenient tax documentation tool helping you keep a written record of all your appointments, presentations, and trips.

I would love to hear how the DMOplanner works for you, so please come back after a few months and share your story by contacting us.

My best to you as you move forward, reach your goals, and grow your business.

To your success,
Stacey Turner
