Hi everyone. After setting up a paypal account and getting my funds transferred, I am finally here, lol.
My name is Jenn (29) and I am from Ontario. I have 4 great kids and a great hubby too. I have recently became a consultant. I got my kit the beginning of March. So far I have done one kitchen show. I held a open house to get the word out about my business but it didn't go so well. I only had 3 ppl show up. I invited over 100 :eek: I just cleared $200 so at least it counts as a show :) I have a catalogue show that I am picking up today and another that I have to pick up later in the week. My 30 days are up on Apr 6th and I dont think I will make it to my $1500. I am finding it so hard to get people to book shows. I thought that my family and hubbys family would help out but they dont seem interested at all.
Anyhow I am hopeful that things will pick up soon. Can't wait to get to know all of you! I think that this will be a great resource to help me with my business.

Hi, Jenn, i am thinking that you are the same Jenn that I "spoke' with before??? lol I really am NOT stalking you. Glad that you decided to work with Robin & start your business!

Welcome, from across the border! I know what you mean about family not being as supportive as you'd hope. My sister (the only who lives in the same state) hosted a show a couple of weeks ago - a year after I became a consultant!

Just get out there and keep working your business. You'll succeed if you have different sources of leads, anyway.

Hi Jenn. Welcome! What part of Ontario are you in? I'm in the Niagara Region.

I live in the upstate NY area and Ontario, CA is about 2 miles (if you were a bird...but if you take the bridges, it is a bit longer!!) I live on the St. Lawrence River.

Welcome!

Welcome. Don't get discouraged. Sometimes it takes a little while to build a host/client base.
