[pamperedlinda]

Linda where you going to be???? LoL I am one of those nosey ones too LoL

I'm going to be in China for 2 weeks

 

[pkd09]

I am in Wave 3 .... please do not spoil it for me. As for those posts that mention don't peak...well....I am one of those people who would peak (can't stand a wrapped present in front of me either). July 18 is not that far away, can't everyone be patient?

 

[Jennie4PC]

The thing is we cannot post anything on here at all Greg will have it deleted. I for one am not able to go to conference either, my DH is really supportive of me doing PC but he isnt supportive of conference. He says I have other obligations here at home I do really want to go one day but who knows if it ill happen, plus my director lives 300+ miles away. So if anyone is sending info out I would love to get some.

 

[jcsmilez]

I too, would love to have info if anyone chooses to email out. I was fully intending to go to conference but as timing would have it, we are expecting our first child at the end of the month. We really need Pampered Chef to be a stronger income. I'm doing everything I can to prepare for the fall season, but will much appreciate as much notice as possible so I can fully prepare information and paperwork before her arrival. By no means will it replace the joys and perks of actually being at conference, meeting people, and participating in the training, but the information will be helpful and wonderful. Thanks!

I'm going to conference wave 3 & I still want to know what all the new stuff is before my wave. I can still have LOTS of fun & enjoy my time by knowing ahead of time what the new products are but I'm not like most.

p.s. I did the email last year & it was a few hundred people.

I must say you did an awesome job, as I was one of the people on the list. I was very appreciative of all that you did for those of us who could not attend and don't have supportive upline's.

 

[Shawnna]

Congratulations Tristen. Babies are a gift from God. No matter how many nieces, nephews, sisters or brothers you have, it never prepares you for the feelings you experience with your first child. I am excited for you.

 

[Shawnna]

And, thanks Kasey for your information last year. I know it was a blessing to many people and your hard work was appreciated.

Here is another thought as to Why people not going to NC should wait... Why should someone who really does not work their biz and gets by on a show here and there to keep active be able to get all the same info at the same time as someone who is investing in their biz and working hard.

On the Sending mini's to our customers thing... Again, Those going to NC are investing in and working their biz. Their customers get the benefit of that.

(Again My opinions)

I am sorry but how dare you assume that if we are active we are not working our biz! Not everyone can rely on PC for their main income. Maybe we would like to, but with the economy and the big decline I have seen with those that just do not have the money to spend, me being one of them with one person in our family not bringing in a major income, one can't rely on how much a show would be vs how many guranteed hours one is scheduled at a paticular job.
Not everyone can do this full time. Some need a reliable income and not a gamble of weather a show can be booked or not.
Sorry if I seem upset, but I am! Some of the comments here are selfish. Yes it would be nice to be on the "cheat" list and promise not to share. I have attended conference and let me tell you, it put us in the poor house for a while after. Not everyone has the money to go to this.
It was an awesome event, but I can't afford to go PERIOD!
Guess thats what made me so upset when I read this comment. Those that can afford to go shouldn't belittle those that can't by stating we are not working our biz.
Shame shame!

I agree with you Schel. I don't think that giving effort in your business has a direct relationship with going the National Conference. We all say the good thing about PC is that we can all take the business to where we want to.

Look, PC has asked year after year after year that we NOT share until ALL 3 conferences are over!!! One of the perks of going to conference is learning all the new products and announcements early. If you can't go, that's fine, but then you don't get the perks. It gripes me to see these posts--HO has specifically asked us NOT to share till it's over. Please honor that. Whether you have a family committment, can't afford it, your dog has cataracts, your uncle fell while crossing the street under a full moon, it doesn't matter--you are not going, and learning the new stuff is a perk of going. Period.

If you can't go to National, ok, but put on your big girl panties and deal with it, wait like HO asks us.

 

[Shawnna]

Yes, and year after year HO has asked us not to post on Myspace, Facebook, Ebay, etc. They ask us not to wear denim or shorts to conference...and many other things. People still do it. If you don't want to share your info, thats fine, but people who want to post that they would like to have info from anyone who will share are okay with me. A lot of things on here annoy me. I choose not to post or open those posts. This thread is titled...anyone sending info from wave 1...if you don't agree with it and it is annoying, then don't read it. Some people are just plain rude and nasty on here. It doesn't have to be that way. If you don't agree with it, then fine...but you don't have to be mean to people.

And, because people can't always tell the tone of a post, you should think about what you are posting before you post it. If you don't want to offend anyone then you might need to change your wording or not post at all.

People are leaving this site because of the rudeness. This is a great site and it is a shame that some make others feel so uncomfortable that they want to leave. This is a place to make friends and share ideas.

I do NOT assume anything! I was referring to some consultants who whine about not having much business and do nothing to change it and want everything handed to them. As I explained in another post (#21) If you truly think this comment was meant to belittle others well then you do not know me.

I personally do not have the $ to go either but I am tightening my belt and giving up things I enjoy. I NEED to grow my biz (DH will be out of a job in a few months) and need this boost.

As I said before I also have had to miss conference 3 times for various family reasons. My director is not the best at getting me info on the new products and programs either. I have had to wait till the info came out from the company. It is not like you do not get it if you do not go.

You think I am selfish hugh? Darn right. I have made conference happen for myself this year. You have NO idea the struggle it is for my family or the juggling I need to do. I am the one who agreed to go another year without High speed internet or cable. I have cut my own hair for 2 years. I shop yardsales for my kids and accept hand me downs. I gave up summer on the east coast with my family who I am lucky if I see once a year.

Here is an analogy for you that think you are owed all the conference info ASAP. Why should I have to pay the same amt of $ for attending wave 3 when by that time it is old news? Doesn't seem quite fair if you really think about it...

Yes, and year after year HO has asked us not to post on Myspace, Facebook, Ebay, etc. They ask us not to wear denim or shorts to conference...and many other things. People still do it.

People are leaving this site because of the rudeness. This is a great site and it is a shame that some make others feel so uncomfortable that they want to leave. This is a place to make friends and share ideas.

So because people do it makes it OK?

I was trying to make a point! The fact that I am paying MONEY to be able to get the benefit of finding out all the new info in person is a PERK, a benefit to MY business that I am investing in. I do not care what the reason you are not going. You are not making the same comitment and sacrafices I am making PERIOD! It does not matter to me why you are not going. You will find out the new products and programs within days of NC being over.

I never intentionally try to be rude unless I am defending myself. If I get rude and snipey at that point then well...

I agree this is a great site and there is lots of great info. People have strong opinions. I often state that if yours differs from mine then so be it.

Oh and remember the Iggy button is your friend!

There should be NO posts here that say "don't peek." We are not allowed to post any of the announcements here until the end of Wave 3. Posting anything here could result in deletion of those threads and possible disciplinary action. All conference attendees are sworn to secrecy. Breaking that secrecy is like breaking policy.

I don't think anyone here thinks they are "owed" anything. To be honest Doris doesn't say "Don't ask anyone for any conference information"...she says don't give any because you will spoil it for the next wave. So the people who have asked that if anyone is sending out any information are not doing anything wrong. And, no I dont think its okay for people to wear denim and shorts to conference or post their websites online or sell stuff on ebay. That was not the point. The point was that sometimes people don't always follow the "rules". Everyone is excited about the new season...whether or not they are going to conference...and that is a good thing. I didn't see anyone whining or crying...they are just excited.

I don't even know what wave my cluster is going in because I rarely here from them...they live too far away. I do however have a director friend who is going in wave 3. So, she will have a meeting as soon as she gets back that hopefully I can attend. Otherwise I will wait till my package arrives at the end of the month. If anyone tells me anything before then I will consider it a blessing, if not, I won't be upset about it. Nobody is going to be upset if they don't hear anything before then...they are just excited. Like someone posted about feeling like a kid at Christmas time....especially newer consultants. There can't be any posts here because it would spoil it for everyone...whether they want to know or not.

Its great that you sacrificed and are able to go to conference. You made a choice to do what it takes to better your business. But some people do not have a choice...they just cant go. Financially speaking I could go to conference if I want to, however, my husband and I own a restaurant that I am fully responsible for every day, and a catering business that he is fully responsible for every day, so there was no way I could go this year. Hopefully I will have enough help next year that I can go. In a perfect world, everyone would be able to go...but its not possible.

I personally care why people can't go...our nation is in a financial crisis and I feel for everyone who has lost jobs and are struggling to make it. As a small business owner I had to cut hours and let some people go...which means I have to work more. I didn't like it, but there was nothing I could do about it. Some are being blessed with new babies...children are such a blessing. Some have lost family members...may the Lord give them strength. Some have no babysitter...and I have been there...not everyone has family that can help them. We all have our own struggles and when people are struggling we need to be lifting each other up. Those who are blessed enough to be able to afford to go to conference congratulations on what God has done for you. For those who gave up things to be able to go...good for you, you will reap the rewards. Everyone else, may God bless you and help you with your situation.

Nobody here should have to defend themselves against anything. If we all treated everyone else the way we would want to be treated...with kindness, no matter the situation...then there would be no need to defend anything. I don't ignore anyone. If I don't like a certain thread I don't read it. Why would I? It would just keep me upset. But, this is a a great site and I choose to read the other threads.

As I stated before, you can't always read the correct tone in posts. So, I want to say that this post is not meant to belittle anyone nor is it meant to be mean or rude. I am not that kind of person. I try to live every day as Christ would want me to...don't always make it because like everyone else I am human and I make mistakes. I am deeply sorry if I have hurt anyones feelings.

Oy vay, such drama over something that is so short-term!

Paulette, kudos to you for making NC a priority this year. I hope it lives up to your expectations and you leverage what you have learned so that you don't have to make quite so many sacrifices next time around. Please don't waste your time getting angry at people who want a sneak peek "for free." They are not getting the most powerful benefits of NC - networking, learning and inspiration from peers and leaders, and the super motivation that comes from being with 2,000 other cheering consultants....when those new products, theme shows, and incentives are revealed.

IMO we spend too much time letting other people's actions get under our skin even if there is no impact on us. Why bother? What does it matter if Susan in Streamwood sees some pictures of the new products a few weeks early? What matters more is that her cluster-mate Carolynn is going to come back from conference and earn back the costs in just a couple months by applying what she learned and Susan didn't. Paulette, so will you!!

I was in a training professional's conference today and I used this board as an example of the power of social networking to enhance learning in addition to what a company offers. Let's try to keep it that way.
