I'm very excited this month. I started PC in April and barely stayed active until this month. So far I have sold $1,300 in product and I still have 3 more shows to close this week. For some of you I'm sure my sales are "small potatoes" but for me it's a major acomplishment. I have also earned the 1st show to go bag and am 1/2 way to the 2nd, this will be the 1st incentine I have earned!!!!!!! Plus I might acutally earn the 3rd bag since I still have 3 more shows this month and 5 so far next month. Sorry I'm very excited and needed to share with someone who will understand my excitement.:D
 
Congratulations Brooke! Glad you stuck with it. Sometimes people want instant success or they quit. Just like any business it can take a little while to get up to speed.
Great job!

Brooke,
That's wonderful! Way to go. And you still have three more shows this month!! Wow. That's incredible. Keep up the good work. :D

Hi Brooke!

Thanks for the inspiration - I also started back in April and my business has been on the roller coaster effect - one month it's great, the next month isn't so great. But like you, things are really picking up! Sometimes it just takes that one good show to help give us that boost! I am so happy for you and I hope you earn all 3 bags for the show to go!
 
Okay, Just got my large bag today. It is so big. I love it. I also got my cake mixes today.
 
Great startJust wait the gifts just keep comming . I'm in my 5th year and the FREE clock radio, Blender totes, trips. products, ect...... just to nane a few things.

Thank you all for the added insperation. Like I said this is huge for me I have thought about hanging up the apron a few times a kept telling myself to give it just a little bit longer. I'm glad I did. It can be very discouraging when you want the incentive and no matter how hard you try you can't reach them. Now I have something to use to remind myself.
