I just had to share with you all. You might have seen me mention that I was inactive for almost a full year when I got an email from a gal I met last year at a craft show. She wanted to have a show and 2 days after her email I got an invite to that craft show again. So, I took that as a sign from above that I needed to start working on my business again. So, I purchased enough items (that I didn't have) to make me active again.

Tonight was the show for the gal who got me restarted. It was an awesome show, even though I was so nervous as I'm not the best person to speak in front of people. Sales so far are at $700 and I got 2 bookings! My hostess isn't sure if she'll get any more orders, but I did earn, so far, 182 Pan-O-Rama points. And I know my hostess is probably going to order the roasting pan, as I brought it with me because she had expressed a real interest in it during our host coaching calls.

What was even nicer, the hostess was totally shocked that she got 2 bookings, as she wasn't expecting anyone to book.

I do have to thank you all here for many of the different ideas you have shared in the past about how you use products. I told these PC vets about some of the ways you all use your products and they were so amazed. That I think helped boost the sales higher than the hostess expected. Keep in mind, this hostess lives in a small farming town (only 1300 people in the town).

I just had to share with you all!
 
That's great Debbie! Way to get back on that saddle again!
 
Debbie, that is great. This business is too fun to stay away!
 
That's wonderful, Debbie. Thanks for sharing your success. You're off to a great new beginning.
 
Debbie - that is fantastic! (or as my 3 yr old said last night - "goodtastic"!) Sometimes our success comes from unexpected places, and it only takes one phone call to turn our business around.....I love that about this business!

Thank you all!Forgot to mention something nice, last year I didn't have anyone at all do the round up, as I never mentioned it when totaling up the orders. Well, this time I asked every single person when I finished totaling up their order and all but 1 said yes, I'll round up.
 
I find that very few people say no. It's often just easier to pay an even dollar amount, especially cash or check.
