Well my 30 days ended yesterday and eventhough it was down to the wire and had some last ditch efforts...I DID IT!!!!! I had 2 cooking shows cancel on me due to deaths in the family so I scrounged up 2 catalog shows which pushed me just over $1300!
One of those cancelled shows rescheduled and is actually tonight! I have 3 cooking & 1 catalog show scheduled for April, one of which is a host, interested in the business! I'm still waiting for the other one to reschedule.

I'm just so excited I had so share it with everyone!!!!
 
That's great! Congratulations! Feels good to know you reached a milestone, huh?! :) Great job for April shows! Do you have a booking slide yet? I highly recommend using it at your shows to help you get bookings at those shows. Best of luck! :)
 
Way to go! Good Job!
 
Good job! Keep it up.
 
Way to Go! Keep up the momentum.

Thanx guys! I haven't been this excited about something in a long time. And just to think I can feel like this once a month...what an esteem booster!!

I don't have the booking slide yet, I was waiting to receive that 1st check to buy more supplies. But I will definitely get one printed and utilize that, I definitely saw a difference in the looks when my recruiter/director used it at my show!
