They Earned a Trip for 1 (with travel voucher): Tips and Stories from Two Designers
Meet Michelle Senton – Senior Team Leader
Started O2 Journey: August 2020
From: Davisburg, Michigan
“I feel special being recognized for the work and creativity I put into this amazing company,” shares Michelle. “I’m honored that my team chose me to follow, and I’m blessed to be a part of a company that allows me to give back to the people and causes I love.”
So, how’d she do it?
“I focused on getting out of my comfort zone, wearing my jewelry, striking up conversations with strangers and asking friends and family to help me grow my business,” says Michelle. “I also focused on fundraising.”
Michelle used the charity organization she runs to raise funds and earn Personal Volume.
“My oldest son is a United States Marine,” shares Michelle. “I’m the Chairman of Hometown Hero Program in the Holly/Davisburg area in Michigan. We recognize and support all active duty military, and their families in our area.”
With the money Michelle raised, Hometown Hero Program was able to support three military send-offs and send Christmas care packages to each of their 44 active duty military members.
How can other Designers finish the qualification period strong and earn a spot of the trip?
Here are Michelle’s top tips:
-
“Be a Pineapple: Stand up tall, wear a beautiful crown and be sweet on the inside.Stand up tall: Believe in yourself and proudly tell people about who you are and why you love Origami Owl. Wear a beautiful crown: Always wear your jewelry everywhere you go. I have had some amazing conversations with complete strangers because they noticed my jewelry. Be sweet on the inside: Welcome everyone you meet into the wonderful world of Origami Owl – whether it’s as a Customer or potential team member.”
-
“Don’t give up: There’s always time. It’s never too late. Pick a couple of pieces that you love in each collection and introduce them to everyone you know. Make it fun by creating a lottery sheet, holding a BINGO game or creating a mini party in a bag. These are great ways to increase sales in between Jewelry Bars®. Work your business every day!”
Meet Noelia Rodriguez – Team Leader
Started O2 Journey: September 2020
From: Bronx, NY
Team Name: Team Storytellers
“I’m still in shock, and very excited, about earning the trip,” shares Noelia. “It was a great challenge sent my way, and I took it and ran with it. I never thought I’d achieve this goal so quickly.”
So, how’d she do it?
“I focused on achieving all the goals I set for myself,” says Noelia. “I decided if I was going to try and earn the trip, I would go ahead and believe in myself, as well as always stay accountable to my Mentor, Team Manager Sandy Daly. I was able to focus on the bigger picture, which was to have fun!”
How can other Designers finish the qualification period strong and earn a spot of the trip?
Here are Noelia’s top tips:
-
“Have fun doing what you love.”
-
“Go live on social media at least three times per week.”
-
“Believe in yourself. Never count yourself short. Trust yourself. Set goals and write them down.”
“Set a 40-day goal and put it all over your work space,” shares Noelia. “Commit to doing three (social media video lives) a week and play games to engage with your attendees. With proper dedication, you will be able to not only accomplish your goal, you’ll be able to crush it. Never limit yourself. Know your worth!”

We are so excited for our first-ever virtual The O2 Experience convention July 24-25, 2020 and we want all of our Young Entrepreneurs to join us!
We’ve noticed some confusion about registration – how to do it and what’s included – for our Young Entrepreneurs, so we want to clarify.
Today, July 10 is the deadline to register and receive the gifts for Young Entrepreneurs at any ticket type, so it’s important to get your ticket or update your registration TODAY.
If You’ve Already Registered
If you have registered and need to correct or add to your registration, please see below for further instructions.
IMPORTANT: If a Young Entrepreneur is NOT registered for The O2 Experience, they will NOT receive their Swarovski DIY kit that is needed for the Young Entrepreneur workshop hosted by Swarovski, and the exclusive Young Entrepreneur gift that we give annually. Owlettes & BROs must be registered separately to receive all the convention goodies.
What You Get With Each Ticket Type
• PREMIER REGISTRATION ($99 USD) – Young Entrepreneurs will get ALL the amazing goodies that are included with this package, PLUS, TWO Swarovski DIY kits (one for each workshop offered with Christina Lovejoy from Swarovski®), plus the annual convention gift we give to Owlettes & BROs. (This is the BEST deal because for $50 more, they get all the exclusives and product listed for this package, plus two additional Swarovski kits (the two kits are different so they can attend both Swarovski workshops, plus the Young Entrepreneur exclusive annual gift).
• BASIC REGISTRATION ($49 USD) – Young Entrepreneurs will get ONE Swarovski DIY kit for their workshop with Christina Lovejoy from Swarovski. Plus, they will get their annual convention gift that is only for Owlettes & BROs. Please note that the annual convention gift will be shipped separately AFTER convention. If you register by July 10, you are guaranteed your DIY kit will arrive on time for the virtual workshop.
How to Register or Update Your Registration

• If you are registered for Convention and did not add your Young Entrepreneur, please note that they will not be able to attend the special Young Entrepreneur workshops and are also missing out on some amazing perks!
