but whatever it was, its working for me! I have been really bad about trying with my business. I haven't had an actual cooking show since I started in November, but I've been keeping things going with catalog shows since then. Out of the blue this week, I've had 3 people ask me to do cooking shows, I've had 2 internet orders, and I have one girl who is ready to sign under me! Talk about the kick in the rear that I needed to get going! I placed a supply order and am about ready for all of my fun to start! Yippee!
 
Good for you! Now just keep scheduling those shows.

yep!!! I know one is going to be very large and ALL are completely out of my circle, although I know 2 of the 3 host personally. One is a guy that I do some contracting work for, I know a few of the people he will be inviting, but most of them I will not. Another is a woman that I went to high school with. I actually approached her about the business. On FB she has been posting recipes and keeps talking about how much she loves to cook. She said she wasn't interested in the biz, but to give her a couple dates to choose from! The other is my new stylist at the salon I go to. I don't know her at all, or any of her friends! woohoo!

My maybe recruit, I went to school with her a LONG time ago. We were catching up and I told her about my jobs, and of course raved about PC. She started asking questions. She is a stay at home mom of 7 kids, and her husband and her have been trying to figure out a way she can work part time, but can be super flexible.... :D Boy did that get me talking!!! LOL
 
Way to work your business, and to do it without realizing. I guess it shows your meant to do this it seems to come easy to you. Good luck.
