What is week: Definition and 121 Discussions

I pushed myself to my absolute limit this week and am proud and thrilled to say that I didn't collapse, didn't burn down anyone's kitchens, didn't botch recipes, break anything, etc...I SURVIVED doing 4 shows in one weekend! I have never done that before. I did a show Friday night, two on...

Ok, here's one... What do you do if you have a "show" from someone that wanted the 12" skillet... now that person decides they don't want it (It's been 2 weeks)- will I lose credit for my show as far as incentives, monthly bonus, comission, etc?!?!

A friend of mine cooks a week of dinners all in the same day then freezes them. Each day, she picks one dish to re-heat and serve her family. I LOVE this idea, but when I asked her, almost all of the dishes she makes have pasta in them. We usually eat only one pasta dish a week (spaghetti...

I am just a little excited and wanted to share. I signed a new consultant Tuesday (she already has her kit!!!). I got a call on Wednesday from someone who had been at a recent show and she said she wanted to sign up!! She submitted her contract last night and will hopefully get her kit soon...

My MIL passed away Sunday night and I've dealt with it all week as far as having to clean the house (we just moved here and are still living amongst boxes), to cooking and baking to traveling 250 one way for the burial. One lady brought over a bundt cake and some paper plates, and another...

I had a show last week with two recruit leads. Well, the the one ( the hostess) is signing up tomorrow :) and we had planned to let the other one ( who was VERY interested) to sign up under her. Well, found out today that the other lady is not going to sign up under the hostess. She feels...

I need help. I had a bridal shower scheduled for the end of September and I just got a call from the hostess that the bride to be needs to move the date up to August 20th. I have nothing planned and I don't even know where to begin. What kind of invitations do you send out. What is the basic...

I just started a 10 week extreme body fitness challenge. My biggest struggle is coming up with recipes that are healthy but will still satisfy DH! I can eat all the healthy food I can get my hands on, DH is a little pickier. The main goals of their diet is 6 protiens a day and 5 carbs a day...

I have 2 opportunities the last week in May, vastly different opportunites, and I've never done anything like either of them before.First - My bank does a "business of the week" featured Table in their entry way. I inquired into this last Fall, and discovered it's very popular - the first time...

I'm curious...anyone have an opinion on the optimal day of the week to send out a newsletter for best responses? Thanks ~ Marey in Michigan:chef:

Did a bridal shower 2 weeks ago. Grandma put three small orders on her debit card for about $100 total. Card didn't go through, it was of course a MC. Called HO to ask them to run it manually, had to leave a message on Friday because they weren't accepting calls. Left a message. Customer gave...

Hello everyone I'm in need of some help and ideas. Next Saturday is the Spring Fest in our hometown, and my recruiter and I are going to have a booth. She won't be able to be there until later in the afternoon, so I'll be by myself the entire morning. I'm a little nervous because I'm fairly...

Hi- I was one of the lucky 54 people who dialed in to Lyn Conway's call this morning. The subject was on how to maximize the week between Christmas and New Years for CCC, bookings, and recruiting. It was very good. I am posting my notes for anyone who is interested. If you were in on the...

I've closed 5 parties in the past week, and most of them have shipped and are arriving. Since these were my first shows, I'm screwing up left and right, but not all of its my fault. I've had to make 2 adjustments on one show today, I've had my first credit card declined, and I still have 2 shows...

I'm having a show on Sunday. The host's niece died in a tragic car accident on Monday. The funeral is on Saturday. She still wants to have the show even tough some of the family members will of course not be coming. She will be helping raise the niece's baby son (20 months old). She said...

I've got 2 shows next week, and wanted to offer some recipes that may go along with a Halloween theme... Anyone else doing so, and if so, what recipes? Or if anyone has suggestions ideas..I'd love to hear.. One I am going to offer is a Pumpkin Trifle....

I've missed many of you during this last week. I "gave up" Chef Success for an entire week. I have to tell you the first day (last Monday) was super hard, but it got easier. I needed to step up my business and on Saturday I had a $1300 show with FIVE bookings (some catalog and some...

So, Monday morning at 2 am my family will be leaving for Puerto Vallarta. It is my plan to spend my between church time tomorrow finishing the packing and cleaning my house. So, I won't be checking in to hear all the good stuff from conference...unless I just can't stand it. So, what I have...

I'm just curious what our show schedules look like for next week. :) Don't forget to register & good luck! Maybe one of us will get "the" call!

Don't forget! Register your July 21-25 shows on Consultant's Corner to enter them in the drawings for cookware. Today's the deadline.

Ok, things were going well last week. Now I have gone from 4 shows down to 2. And one of those hosts was signing up this month. Quite irritated because all the effort I put in last week.... sent out the packets. I am going on a field trip tomorrow with my daughters 1st grade class, and then...

My dinner club is doing a 70's theme - I need to bring either a soup or salad, but I'm leaning toward a salad. Anyone have a gread "70's" salad recipe they can share? I might just do a layered salad time permitting... show tonight, birthday party tomorrow morning and dinner club tomorrow...

This week we are supposed to be celebrating teachers. Our PTO puts together different themes for each day of the week. I just love DD teachers, they are great! Thursday is CHOCOLATE DAY! I wanted to do something special for them so I obviously thought of cooking. I was thinking of making the...

Hi - I just have to share this story. I was on a flight this week and needed to break a $20. The woman next to me offered and so we started talking. Turns out that we have the same professional background (training) and now she and her husband own 4 restaurants in my town. We talked a little...
