Anyone Have "Business Plan" Type Info...

G
Gagescorpages
My brother lost his job and is now selling cars. He is doing well, but is behind 2K every month. He is a chef, by trade. I have been talking to him about PC.
He is interested and is asking about a business plan to see growth potential, etc. I am sure I can put something together, but rather than re-invent the wheel, I figured I'd ask all of you first. :D
Thank you in advance!
PS: He could also use some prayers and good thoughts. He has a wife and 4 kids to support as well.
 
I would definitely show him the Rewards booklet or the Come Join Us booklet because it has the earning potential right in there.

I know bits and pieces but TIffany can give you the whole story. I'll send her here. ;)
 
I want to know her story too...
 
I know her dh wanted her to start a home daycare for little kids b/c they were about to lose their home/farm. She said NO WAY and then she went to Nancy Jo Ryan's show and Nancy told her she should do this too! SO, she signed up and now look at her, she's making like $60k a month!! (If I'm wrong, Tiffany will tell the story)

Hi all I guess you are waiting on me.
She said that they actually had pretty much already lost the farm and her husband had moved and they were to follow a few months later. Well anyone who is a single mom or a single mom by reason of a traveling hubby knows that you just have to get away every once in a while. I don't remember if it was before she moved or after she moved but she went to a show. I think it was before she moved because it was a pretty close friend who was the host. She knew she couldn't buy anything but needed that night out. Then NJR told everyone that there were information packets available at checkout. No pressure. Well a friend of Darla's went up to check out and took two packets. One for herself and one for Darla. She apparently wasn't sneaky enough because NJR saw and asked who the other packet was for. So she made the contact, and the rest seems to kind of be history. Yes her husband had told her to start a day care in their home. Of course he wasn't going to be there for that so it was an easy suggestion. (no offense to him I hear he is a great guy) So they made an agreement that she could test drive it and see what would happen.
It's a great story--one of determination and it shows that you can do anything you put your mind to. Her daughters were something like 3 and 7. Little anyway.

Now 20 years later she makes very big bucks. I don't think she has told anyone lately how much she makes but she used to tell a story about when her mom learned how much she was making that is very funny. It's been almost 5 years since I originally heard that story and it was a few years old at that point so it just goes to show.

They were remodeling her house but hadn't gotten much done due to some timing issues. One of the things that they needed to fix was her front entry stairs. Well her mom had been on her case about it for a while and had brought it up again over breakfast before they were about to go somewhere. Her mom was concerned for the safety of everyone and so said you know if it is a money issue your dad and I can loan it to you. Well Darla had heard enough and said she kind of got angry and said Mom it's not a money issue My check last month was $17000 so I think we are ok. Well it must have been a thing that was maybe yelled because she says her mom got up from the table and left the room without saying anything. She then came back out a few minutes later with a curling iron in her hand (unplugged from the wall but in her hair) and said "$17000 Last Month?"

Its pretty funny to hear her tell it as you can't pick up on things being written. So that is just one of the many success stories that is PC.

Please forgive me Darla if I got anything wrong. LOL
Good luck.
