Has anyone purchased the Cooking Shows in Action DVD? Are each of the shows shown in full length, or is it just like what you see on the website? Was it worth it to buy? I'm new and I just need a little help with my shows.

Thanks!
 
Don't you get this free with your first supply order? And yes they are full shows.
 
You will get it for free at the end of your 90 days.
 
I am a newer consultant too and think it is stupid that they wait until after your 90 days are up to send you this dvd. Thankfully my executive director was kind enough to lend me her copy at our last meeting. I felt the info in it was pretty useful but I don't know if I would spend the money to purchase it. Maybe see if someone in your cluster will lend it to you to watch. Good luck.

Also, to answer your question, the shows are pretty much shown in full length.
 
It's not stupid. The company wants you to get the hang of the basics before they throw something new at you. They have your success in mind. Makes sense to me.
 
Along with the added benefit of not supplying the DVD to kitnappers.
 
Ask your director if you can borrow one -

Thanks for all your input....y'all are GREAT. I will ask my director if I can borrow one. I didn't know you can get it for free, so that's good to know too!
