My potential that planned to sign on Friday has gotten cold feet for now... that's okay... it's got to be right for her...not me ... SO... say a prayer for me if you would that I'll keep my heart open for the next recruit... I SO want to attend LEadership and my husband is on board with me going... so I'm resting in God knowing His time is always better than mine... I've had my moment of being sad, sent the potential an email with a thank you for her honesty and my excitement that she still plans to sign when the time is right for her etc... HMMMM... wonder who the number 2 is going to be????? I bet I'll be surprised!!!!!!!!! :)
Thanks for listening!
 
Sorry to hear Diane - I've had that happen before too. God will make the time right and His ways are higher than ours!
 
Sorry to hear that Diane but I am glad that you are not going to let it get you down...I wish that I had as much motivation as you.
 
Diane~

God knows the direction that your business is taking...He is the one taking it there! All will come about in His timing...I know you know this, but it can be hard- especially when we get excited about something and it doesn't happen the way we think it will. Your focus is where it should be---on your recruit lead and what's best FOR HER. Because of that, God will continue to bless you and the people who come in contact with you!

Thanks Y'all! It'll happen... I'm just a bit impatient! :)
 
I'm there with you Diane. I so want to get No. 2 so I can go to Leadership! I hope we both can get there!
 
Diane - what you might want to do is contact a REALLY good friend or family member that will be your "just in case" recruit. They get the products, the commission off the 4 shows and you give them something else as an incentive to qualify (so you don't support a kit napper). Keep them on deck until the last week or two of December. MAKE SURE they have the kit money set aside!!!
 
:) I want to get 3, 4 & 5 so I can be a director! LOL... I'm not very patient either!
