“Go Confidently in the Direction of Your Dreams,

Live the Life You've Imagined."

--Henry David Thoreau

	What if you could uncover the genesis of your passion?
	What if you didn't have to search far and wide to find it?

Introducing...

For direct selling leaders of today and tomorrow!

	Dear Leader,
	Welcome to the "Rising Star" Leadership program. With Rising Star, you will have fun, meet some interesting people and have an opportunity to explore new possibilities for your life in a safe and comfortable environment. In short, this program is all about you!
The Rising Star program is specifically designed to help each of you discover your hidden talents, identify your dreams and develop a plan to help you achieve your goals. It is our belief that we each have the opportunity to live the life we’ve always imagined and this program may be the next step on your journey.
To get you started, simply answer a few of our sample questions. One suggestion - don’t over think the questions! Simply write the first thing that comes to mind and then move on. The more your answers come from the heart the more valuable this experience will be. Enjoy!
We look forward to seeing you at a Rising Star experience soon! To your success, Nicki, Grace, and Dana Elite Faculty

I attended the Rising Star in San Antonio.. It was one of the best things I've done in quite some time. I am so glad to be associated with such a dynamic group of ladies... I actually use the things I learn.. My confidence was always high .. Now it is "way up there"..SMILE!

Thanks and God bless you!

Bringing Nicki to Ohio, first with the Rising Star and then with the Elite Express weekend, has been the very best. To watch my consultants and directors transform before my eyes is amazing. The energy created among the leadership team is wonderful. I can’t wait to be a part of the journey as many of the local leaders experience the Elite Certification course this next year. We have truly entered a new culture in our company that is creating a renewal of enthusiasm for our businesses. Thank you DSWA!
