The thing that's annoying me is all the requests for news. I'm not going to make any friends saying this, but if you couldn't go to conference, get the news from your own cluster. If they haven't gone yet, wait until they do.

If I wait to hear from my cluster, it would be August by the time I hear anything! I get your point though, Ann. It's part of the bonus of paying and attending conference. Getting the scoop. BUT, it's also really fun to be able to be the one sharing the news too. So, if someone wants to share with consultants that aren't going and don't spread the news, I think it's okay. Ironically, I mostly wanted to know the rest of August's special so that I could say "yes, you'll like this month" to those on the fence.

What a great idea Terry! We just showed around the mini-cat and described our favorite new items.

I'm glad that TPC schedules all of the waves right after each other so that we only have to wait a week and a half. Can you imagine if there was one conference a week?

I still think you are very wise and a fabulous fountain of knowledge... but I don't agree. Not everyone has a great cluster. I attend a host cluster and they don't share all that much with me. I often feel outside the circle. My cluster I attend was not the same wave I would attend. Going and not knowing a sole was way to out of the box for me. My director who lives half way across the country only seams to share requiting info with me. I'm just complaining now..lol I will shut up
I am thankful to those who took the time to share info with me!

I have had several requests for news and I feel SO BAD for not complying with them!

If one of them said, "I was in Wave 1, but I didn't go" then I would happily send them all the info they request. I'll also happily send it to them when their wave is over ... if I have time!

I can so relate to feeling out of the loop with your cluster (I was recently "aquired" by my advanced director and still feel a bit like a "cluster crasher") and haven't been able to attend meetings when they were hosted by my previous director ... my exec DID host a conference call, but we got like 4 hours notice on it ...and we are SO USED to getting info early on this site! There are many who don't have much support, can't attend meetings or are in hospitality groups.

I feel really bad for you ... but I won't spill, don't ask me! And I know payback is coming b/c next year I surely won't be in Wave 1!

That's fine if people don't agree with my opinion. Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one.

I understand that not every cluster is a good one, which is why HO will have all the info posted early next week. There'll still be plenty of time to use the information before the fall season starts.

Actually, I agree with you ... I just feel really bad about it! LOL!

I have told people that if they were in Wave 1 I'd happily inform them, just as my upline is informing ours via a conference call and just as I informed my recruiter ... but if they are in Wave 2 or 3, why should they find out before their clustermates who paid for the experience?

Jenni I am in the same boat as you - I TOTALLY know where your coming from!!!! NO SUPPORT = Major Diffuculties Trying to Succeed in this business! Try to do it alone!
Thank Goodness for all these Cheffies.
So many times I've thought of quiting and resigning when time allowed just to be close to my "relatives" in the biz.

You can always find someone to spill the beans, and that is perfectly fine with me. In Ann's defense, even though I know she doesn't need me to defend her, it is annoying that people just request info and expect someone to send them a special e-mail about anything. If I want something from someone, I ask them personally by sending a PM or e-mail so they can just reply. I send an e-mail to a good friend because she is my good friend and she sent me an e-mail first. I know her and I offered to share. She didn't just expect an e-mail. Is this making sense?

Soon, everything will be posted here, so if you don't have the info yet, just be patient. I'd share my photos, but I only took pictures of the different decorations in the Trifle Bowl. No new product photos.
