According to my IPT this morning I have 5 active, qualified personal recruits!! Making me a director starting April 1st!! My husband could care less and no on else really understands what being a director even means, and my director is excited but is more focused on her own promotion to executive director.

Also- with the sales that I have for an April catalog show I am putting in on Monday will slide me past $15,000 career sales! Too bad that raise won't count on my April paychecks, but I will settle for a director paycheck in April I guess :D
 
Wow, you're flying fast!
 


WHOO HOOO!!!!!
Congratulations Gillian!
 
WTG Gillian!
 
Congratulations, Gillian. I know you worked really hard for this!!

I was so excited last night when my last recruit called and told me she had submitted her 4th show, but my DH was having his weekly poker game so I celebrated alone with a cup of hot chocolate :D

I guess I will have to make my ho-ho trifle today to celebrate!!
 
Whoo hoo
I know what you mean about the DH thing I have one too. ( as long as a pay check come in they understand that )
 
That is SO wonderful Gill - congratulations!!!!!!!!!

I forgot about the CN! If I promote April 1st then what month will my name be in the CN?
 
Congratulations and it should appear in the June CN for both your sales and promotion I would think.

OK- Thanks Harriet!!
 
I am so happy for you Gillian!!! You are doing awesome. Not sure when you ahve decided to walk because I think National is way expensive for you and you will have other things going on too

We are all happy for you at Chef Success - Sorry you are not getting enough kudos form your director and your hubby

(((HUGS)))
 
It's so nice to open a CN and have some of the names you read for promotions and career sales and be able to say 'hey' I know him/her!!!!!!!!

I've been checking your signature everyday! You had me nervous taking this all the way to the end of the month!

I was making YOU nervous?? I just about put myself in to labor stressing about whether I was going to make it or not! I would hate to make it on the 2nd of a month and have to wait all month for the promotion to be effective! I am WAY too impatient for that!

It is 11:30 am... I believe we are 4 hours behind the east coast.

And send him over Janet! If he will drive 2 hours for a trifle who am I to deprive him?
