After 2016’s roller-coaster Year of the Monkey
That proved anything can happen — we’re looking forward to a year that promises loyalty, commitment, hard work and family values. It’s time to celebrate the Year of the Rooster!
Celebrated for centuries, Chinese New Year is full of myths and traditions, including dragon dances, fireworks and assigning one of 12 animals to each year.
Each Chinese zodiac animal represents characteristics and personality traits unique to those born in that particular year, and if you were born in 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993 or 2005, you were born in the Year of the Rooster!
Roosters are trustworthy, generous, determined, talented and energetic, so it should come as no surprise that the Rooster is among the most motivated animals in the Chinese zodiac.
Up at dawn to greet the day, the Rooster symbolizes awakening, triumph and success. Let the year of the Rooster be the year you truly focus on your professional goals, and while you’re at it, be prepared to showcase your superior leadership skills.
Like Vince Lombardi said, “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.” The Rooster is all about hard work, so demonstrate your strong work ethic and provide a positive example to those around you. Mentor someone new to your business, offer to take the lead on a big project or volunteer to coordinate an upcoming event. By showing your commitment to your team, you establish yourself as a leader capable of greater responsibilities and assignments — and eligible for that next promotion!
We know it’s not always easy to toot your own horn, but take a cue from the Rooster and recognize your own talent, even crow about it a little.
When others see your confidence, they’ll see you as someone who succeeds.
Like to party? So does the Rooster! At Scentsy, we never pass up an opportunity to throw a party. When you’re having fun, people want to be around you. You don’t need to wait for a specific celebration or milestone. Just be sure to tell everyone on your guest list to bring a friend to widen your social and professional circles — you never know what a new connection might bring you this year!
For Roosters, career is a top priority. So, this year, set your sights on pushing yourself professionally. Even if you’re not a Rooster, 2017 will be full of opportunities to strut your stuff!
