I have a show Saturday with a perfect host for once!!! I originally wasn't going to take the show because I am afraid to drive in big city traffic and her house will be about an hour drive. My husband backed me into a corner and said that I can't expect my business to grow unless I am willing to step out of my comfort zone. So, I reluctantly took his advice and booked her show. She had her guest list to me within 3 days. She had been using my website to keep me updated on her RSVP's and outside orders. She is buying the ingredients herself ( I usually have to get reimbursed by most of my hosts). She also invited 41 people and already has marked that someone is interested in booking a show.
I have needed a show like this to get me amped for the new year. I hope I am not setting my hoped up too high.
 
congratulations:)Way to go. Stay positive and you will have a Great show:) Great success for you in the New Year. Laurel
 
Sounds fabulous!!
Such a good hostess...you oughta recruit her!!!
And Dh is right - once you start stepping out of your comfort zone your business will take off!!!
 
CONGRATS!! I think it's great that you stepped out of your comfort zone! Who knows where this may lead! I also agree that such a fabulous hostess would make a great recruit, she must really be excited about PC products. I hope it is a smashing success for you!
 
I know I can't wait to coach well and get that perfect host. You just know when you have done well and things will go well. You can feel it..
 
Isn't it great to have such enthusiastic hosts!! Sounds like you will have a great show!

Cheers
