Scents with Sense: A Strong Commitment to Giving Back Provides a Culture of Sustainability
WRITTEN BY: Lin Grensing-Pophal
“Authenticity is very important. We are who we are, and we don’t try to be somebody we’re not.”
—Orville Thompson, Co-Owner and CEO
Dear Scentsy Friends,
I came across an article online, and I have to say that I am overwhelmed with joy when I read such amazing things regarding a company that I have chosen to be a part of. I encourage you to read the article, and to read for yourself the true honesty and compassion that Heidi and Orville Thompson have. They know themselves how it feels to be down and out financially, and have created and set goals for this company to better not only their own family's lives, but for everyone around them as well. You can find the article if you go onto the Direct Selling News website and search Scents with Sense by Lin Grensing-Pophal.
I have to also say, that the announcement made by Heidi and Orville this past week regarding the discontinuation of Grace Adele was outstanding. Being a Grace Adele Independent Consultant as well, I was truly saddened by the news... However, it again, is not discouraging. From a business perspective, sometimes tough decisions must be made... and that's just life. I can see it in both Heidi and Orville the heartbreak that it has caused to even have to make such an altering decision. I believe 100% and stand behind their decision though. For those of you who are interested in watching the announcement, I encourage you to, look for it on YouTube... It will give you an inside look at our wonderful Owners..

I don't really know how many of you truly understand the lengths that this company goes to help teach, and encourage their employees at head office, as well as Independent Scentsy Family Consultants all over the world. This isn't all about earning an income (but don't get me wrong, that's amazing on its own) but this company has programs dedicated to those who are involved with the Scentsy family to help better their lives in many ways.
They have a 24/7 training center that can be accessed online at anytime from our Scentsy Workstation account - it has links, photos, slide shows, and personal stories from others that help encourage you to do your best.... and also HOW TO DO IT! My favourite part is the new "monthly theme" that they've introduced as well to the training center... it helps you focus on different areas of your business, and how to be successful.
The best part is Scentsy Wellness... Which gives you access to fitness, nutrition, and general health information! They have challenges that you can sign up for, with rewards along the way. For example... the 100 mile challenge, which gives you a few months (leading up to Scentsy Family Reunion) to complete 100 miles (walking, running, whatever it may be)... once you complete you first 10 miles, they send you a bracelet... a little bit of encouragement to keep going! .
You see, the Scentsy Family is not all about making money.... Its about being part of a family. I have said it time and time again... some people laugh at me, and some people seem simply confused (especially those who have had negative experiences with other DS companies).... however, it's the truth, and that's my own personal opinion.
Scentsy has offered me the ability to be involved in something bigger than what I had anticipated... and although I'm just one of a million right now, that doesn't mean that what I have to offer, and what I have to share with those around me isn't important.
My voice may not be heard by the masses, but I refuse to let that discourage me.... I may not be a Scentsy Independent Director, or any of that.... I may not even have started a team yet... but that doesn't mean I'm not part of something bigger than what I can reach out and currently grasp. I know, in time, my perseverance will pay off... and the best part is... I don't feel as though I'm wasting my time.... Simply because, I really do love what I'm doing. And that alone, Scentsy friends, is enough for me.
