Go ahead, guess! You'll never figure it out!!!!!

After several years "lurking" on CS, toying with other DS companies, and finally actually HOSTING a TPC show (what a BLAST that was!)...

I just resigned with TPC. Gonna give it another try.

It started out just helping my AD with something...but I can't do something half way...so even though I had to submit my agreement last night before I had lots of shows booked, I already have 3 (1 FR in Nov., 1 show in Dec. & Jan.). They're all hosts who have been patiently waiting for me to come to my senses and resign. :blushing:

So, I put in my agreement last night, and this morning I already have my consultant #! Plus, I was kind of bummed, because I had the "perfect" consultant # before...405321. So easy to remember! But, my new # is 604765!

So...WHOOT-WHOOT! I'm planning on starting things right. I gave my AD my Power Hour set when I had quit before, but I'm getting a new one (she's FINALLY using it and having some good success with it...good for her, bummer for me!), and going to implement 3-2-1 today!!!

Thanks for letting me "lurk" these past few years!!!!

Oh, yeah...and of course I'm getting my Tasty Tidbits again!
 
Congratulations and good luck on restarting your business. I hope you move forward with a very successful business!!! :D
 
Congrats! and Welcome back! I wish you the best success!
 
I was wondering when you'd restart your business!! :) Best wishes and good luck to you!
 
Welcome back! :)
 
Oh man, I must have been really out of it. First of all, I didn't realize you were only lurking here on CS (the 1406 posts might have been what confused me). Second, I didn't realize you weren't a consultant this whole time, since you have been so encouraging and given great advice.

I know you're going to have a truly successful business, and I'm excited for you. Welcome back to the family you never really left.

I had a fairly successful business until a couple of years ago. Then, my DH went to Iraq for a year, and there was no way to maintain the business with him gone, and I can't do anything half-way. So, I opted to let it go. But, I've stayed on top of all the changes and such, so hopefully won't have too much trouble hitting the ground running!
 
Congratulations!
 
Congrats!!!
