On Friday, Aug. 27, Loren Ridinger, Co-Founder & Senior Executive Vice President of Market America Worldwide | SHOP.COM, will take the stage to help attendees understand that progress equals happiness. UFOs fully grasp that their happiness is tied directly to their commitment to continually work, to move forward and to progress in their own business.
"Progress is a process. It does not happen overnight. There is no quick fix or magic potion," said Ridinger. "Progress comes from time, from commitment and hard work, from within each person who understands that trying and failing is progress! Trying and failing is one step closer to succeeding. When you fail, you eliminate spending another second on what doesn't work and start focusing on what works. You keep eliminating and eliminating what doesn't work until you progress to not only what can work but what will work. Progress is what you will find that equals happiness. At MAIC 2021, I want you to tell me what will make you happy. We'll do our part to give you everything you need to help you start progressing to reach your own personal happiness."

Social life is coming back, and it's infused with festive optimism for this year's holiday season! Even if we need to keep the celebrations to a tight-knit group, we still need to bring on the glam. Motives Sublime Luminizing Jelly is the perfect addition to the Sublime Eye Shadow Palette. This jelly-like gloss is a multitasking highlighter, designed to be worn over makeup to add a glossy look to eyes, cheekbones, lips, collarbones, everywhere! Among several other #MAIC2021 beauty "must haves," the new Motives Hand-Held Mixing Palette is the product beauty lovers will use endlessly to mix and create endless new colors and shades.
