Celebration means to observe or celebrate an event- to make known publicly

We are so excited to celebrate 25 years in Premier!

7 is the perfect number in the bible. Talk about 7 in the following: Family, Business, Friends, Lives

Proverbs 16:11,
No marriage can be called a good one unless there is complete trust. A partner must be trustworthy in all aspects in their lives. Trust is vital and is the strongest brick in the marriage. Love is trusting.

Remember the TV Commercial where little girl jumps into mom’s arms in a swimming pool. We need to have that same trust and belief in our marriages.

In business we need to trust in our partner and in your business. Premier is our partner. Trust in decisions made that effect you as a Jeweler. Do you trust your upline, and it is necessary to build a strong business family. People will befriend others when they can trust them. Trust is the glue that holds relationships together, with family, with friends, and with God.

2.) Another Brick in a marriage is friendship and business is about sacrifice and service.
We need to sometimes change our behavior and thoughts to reach out and help others. Love is a sacrifice sometimes. Husbands come first. Then balance children and a husband, and it’s even harder.

Premier first grew from 7 and 8 people in the home office, and it grew slowly, and now see where we are 25 years later because we trusted each other!

God first, family second, career last.

When children are young, we sometime sacrifice work to be with them.

After 64 years of marriage, she learned to sacrifice to keep harmony in her marriage.

Quite sacrifices are part of serving. True love means giving, more than taking.
Serving begins at home. It’s easier to serve ourselves, but serve for others in our family.

Jesus showed us sacrifice when he washed the feet of the disciples. He served his people, and showed that even the most powerful, laid down his ‘towel’ and power to serve others.

Instead of thinking how can others serve us, we need to think of how we can serve them. Sacrifice often brings happiness, and show the world what it means to serve others though our family, our business, and our lives.

We can make a difference and show others how to give and serve.

Customer service is the buzz word for business, and it’s the curtain that divides businesses.

Nothing new is in customer service.

We were taught to be nice and smile, but also be appreciative of their hard work. It’s easy to sponsor a nice person to sell, but it’s harder to sponsor a business person, and teach them to be nice.

Treat our customers like a queen for a day. Make that person feel so good and so loved and appreciate.

3. Forgiveness- Forgive ourselves first, then our families and friends.
Successful marriages need forgiveness (Forgive 7 times 77 as the bible tells us).
Forgiveness on any level is necessary to keep marriage healthy.

4. Be an Encourager-
Many people loose confidence and self worth. This is the time to step up and help others.
Show them love and to love is being supportive.

We have the opportunity to hold each other up, and should be strong encouragers of who need it in this time of difficult economy, new mothers, lonely friends, etc. Keep it personal, one-on-one. Make it about someone else.

Make an investment of time with a friend. It’s about others, not us.

5. Without love, there is no happiness in the family.

Friendship and love go together. In Premier, these go together side by side.
Being seen is not being personal. God made us human with needs, and they cannot be filled though technology. We need to be sensible when working in Premier. Make personal contact. Call to see if people are doing OK or if they need something.

Don’t cheat others by not allowing them to hear your voice. Don’t just send emails, but make personal calls to check with them.
Friendship and Love in a personal way.

6. Laughter is a gift. Sometimes it takes a while to laugh at ourselves, and but don’t laugh at other’s expense.

Look for the fun, not the drab. Look for the sun, not the clouds.

Laughter reduces stress and is good exercise. It stimulates the immune system and strengthens your lungs. It treats depression and helps your creativity. It is contagious.

Homework for this year: Take a piece of paper, and write the alphabet on the left side of your paper. Describe things that make us happy, and laugh.

Proverbs 17:22- A good heart is good medicine.

This year we had overflowing glasses. You choose the cheerful heart and not the crushed spirit.
“I know I’m standing on the rock.”- Colt McCoy- Quarterback. God is in control of our lives.
Verse for 2010: Not to us, but to you goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Psalm 115:1 “To God goes the glory for all that Premier has become.”

7. Keep God in first place. 121:7- Accept the Lord and as He builds your house.
God has built the House of Premier in 1985 and is currently building it now. Our past, present and future, are in God’s hands.

As we work together in 1010, as we build Premier, remember the verse!!!!
Probers 31:11
