    Should We Be More Selective with Our Recruits?

    But what if you do TELL them and they just don't get it? I consider myself a part time consultant since I have a full time job. I don't ever see myself doing this full time because I love my job. But I feel lots of pressure from everyone, including HO, to recruit, recruit, RECRUIT!

    How to Use Party Sticks for Decorations and Parties?

    When I showed these to my wife, the first thing she asked was, "Now what can you do with these again?" We just both kind of looked at each other and shook our heads. When you compare all the other great PC products which are versatile and have many uses, these party sticks just don't match up. I...

    How to Use Party Sticks for Decorations and Parties?

    I don't see these "party sticks" being a hit at all. I honestly believe they will be discontinued in the near future. They may be "cute" but are they honestly practical? I don't think so.

    Get Your Grill On: Must-Have Items for Summer BBQs and Beyond

    Then I guess I'll have to get the mitt too. I can't wait to get all my other grill gadgets. By the way, I've been thinking of getting the plates and forks since they now will have a caddy set you can use with them. I know it says something about the plates being good for putting your drink to...

    Get Your Grill On: Must-Have Items for Summer BBQs and Beyond

    I don't have it yet. It wasn't one of the discontinued items so I thought about waiting until later. I'd like to hear some review on this item too. I already have 2 oven mitts and thought about just using one of them. I wonder if there is anything special about the BBQ mitt that makes it different.

    Get Your Grill On: Must-Have Items for Summer BBQs and Beyond

    I just received the grill bag and fork. I purchased it now since both items are going to be discontinued. I was planning on getting all the grill items come summer but didnt' want to miss out. Now I at least have these 2 items. I can't wait to get my other grill stuff including the NEW grilling...

    New Items Would You Take to a Party

    I believe the holders are a BIG waste and won't sell. I see these being discontinued in the near future. The only few spring items I'm excited about are the collapsable bowl, the new grilling cook book, seasonings, and the scrapers.

    New Items Would You Take to a Party

    There aren't too many spring products I'm crazy about. I try and take a sampling of some of the more popular items to the shows. I'll bring a little stoneware, cookeware, and simple addition pieces. The food chopper. A few knives. Measure all cup. Seasonings. Cookbooks. My bag weighs a ton! :D

    Do You Have Kids? Balancing Work and Entrepreneurship

    There may be another reason she doesn't want to discuss. Maybe her husband won't let her do it. Maybe she doesn't think she can afford the $155 to get started. Sometimes people may be embarassed to tell you the REAL reason about why they won't join. Personally, I dont feel comfortable (yet)...

    Dh Just Showed up at Work With a Dozen Red Roses in a Vase.he

    There are a lot of things we buy that are "impractical". But we buy stuff because we enjoy it. My father used to use the same lame excuse for my mom. In fact, I've bought my mom flowers more than my dad did. The next time your hubby wants a certain something that is "impractical" maybe you...

    Do You Have Kids? Balancing Work and Entrepreneurship

    Exactly! My mother has lived with us for the past 1 1/2 years and she acts like a 3 year old sometimes. :D Seriously though, everyone thinks they are the only ones who are busy yada yada yada....

    Grrr...surprise! "Kids Will Be at the Show!"

    That is because the educator would call Family Services on you, claiming you are "beating" your child. :rolleyes:

    Dh Just Showed up at Work With a Dozen Red Roses in a Vase.he

    A new store just opened here in town a few months ago. I checked out the website and it has some really nice stuff. Pricey- but really nice. My wife told me not to send flowers this year. She didn't say anything about fruit. :D

    Boost Sales with a Free Drawing Prize: Tried and Tested Strategy

    I always give away a Season's Best Cookbook for anyone who brings a friend to the show. Then I do a drawing at the end of the show. The prize depends on the size of the show. If I only have a few people the prize will be small like bamboo spoons or something and if it is bigger, I may do...

    Dh Just Showed up at Work With a Dozen Red Roses in a Vase.he

    That is why this year I'm sending "The Mrs." a fruit creation from Edible Arrangments. They are just as pretty as flowers but you can eat the fruit. The ones I'm sending her have chocolate covered strawberries througout the basket. :D
