Flexibility is the biggest asset for college students. To simply say schedule the days you wish to work verses having a schedule someone else decides for you is the key for any student with their crazy schedule. Another key thing is to let them know they can easily, and legally (without...

If some how you can get your hands on (Senior Moment here) either it is Belinda Ellsworth or Pat Reinville's tape on "Turn Arounds" it is very helpful. One tip I got from a tape was use their wording. "I notice you checked maybe on your prize drawing slip for hosting with the Pampered Chef"...

I do a "ticket" game. As the show goes on the guest can earn tickets for different things and then they go in for a drawing at the end of the night for a separate prize. How to earn tickets: 1. Everyone receives one when I personally hand one to them during intros and say thank you for...

Don't give up if this is something you truly want. There are ups and downs however, remember you can 't change your people so CHANGE YOUR PEOPLE. Costantly keep coming in contact with different people. The right people will come around, however, if you do not keep offering the opportunity to...

Short and sweet. This is not neccesarily a bad show, ended up quite well because the guest felt bad for the host, but it is funny. Before the show started I noticed the host was very nervous. I was constantly reassuring her people would come and we will all fit. (Extremely small house) I...

I have a friend that let's her children help pick for family items. This also in turns allows the kids to see how the goals are set up and how to achieve goals together and the benefits for reaching those goals. This is a win/win situation...it keeps her motivated because of all her...

One thing that often happens is we tend to call at the same time of the day. Make sure to pick a different time in the day. You may just be missing them..... If you still have no luck leave one more message so you are not "stalking" them and really be excited and use the approach as, "I did...

A question and point I like to make is... does this include their computer software, do they have to maintain an inventory cost, do they have to buy other products when they become available, how much are their catalogs and paperwork? I always use the selling point for our kit is...."It has...

With most of the pizza recipes instead of making 2 of the same just increase the topping portions so people feel as if they are getting more.

Are you putting this in the Trifle Bowl? It would be beautiful

Start out rightTo keep it organized I tell my new girls to start out right to get into the habit of entering all your show expenses as you go. This includes your mileage, food costs, and any extra costs such as mailing for that show, etc. You should, before you close your show key in all your...

One of my downline members said she has been using them alot for her little children to chop up their food. To chop spaghetti noodles in a hurry it is a must!

You want the food to be at room temp. before putting the food into the oven with a stone. What I sometimes do to speed it up, is put the refrigerated (not frozen) food in the stone and put the stone with food in it in the cold oven and preheat the oven, food, stone all together. There is no...

Am I missing it or is there a place to simply "write" a letter of our own. I used the editor portion very often but can not find it anywhere here. I still have mixed emotions on the P3. Is it right to say and tell my dissappointed downline that more is to come to make it great?

Yes, people are always asking how to season their stone. I always suggest if a meatloaf or meatball can fit in it do it. If not the traditional stand by BACON in the Bar Pan...... The only way to make it.
