Boost Your Business and Enjoy Your Summer with Pampered Chef!

[janetupnorth]

It's Friday! The end of a long week, the end of a stressful one for some people...and some people just seem to be down. Why? It's summer, the sun has been shining a lot.Let's think of a way to enjoy the day, enjoy the weekend and ENJOY the last bit of summer.So...1. Name at least one thing POSITIVE you will do for your business today.
2. Name at least one thing POSITIVE you will do for yourself or your family today.
3. Name at least one reason why you LOVE doing Pampered Chef.Here is mine:1. Check on my open catalog show. Talk about PC to potential customers and hosts and share how it makes life easier.2. Stop by the store on the way home and get 2 gallons of chocolate milk as a treat. (DH and kids love it and we're out).3. PC allows my child to have piano lessons and my kids to do things they wouldn't normally do. It keeps me from CONSTANTLY being stressed over bills and lets me relax and enjoy time with them rather than wondering where the extra $50 will come from this month.

Good Thread Janet!

1. I will call my host who needs to reschedule and get at least one more booking for Sept. on my calendar.

2. I will run to the store and make something really good for dinner.

3. I LOVE doing PC being they are so good to us by letting us earn products for FREE and the recognition is FANTASTIC!

1. I will follow up with my potential hosts over the weekend.
2. I am taking this afternoon off work to spend time with DS...today looks like a great day to hit the driving range. We're also going to make the new peppermint patty cookies
3. Shoot -only one reason? OK, the people - hosts, guests, and of course my fellow Cheffers!

Cheers!!

You're awesome Janet....

Here's mine -

1. I will do some more prep work for my Open House next week....it's gonna be a good one!

2. Am going to dinner and to see "Mamma Mia" with my SIL tonight.

3. I LOVE PC because I get to teach my DD about hard work and dedication and I get to share with her all the fun of cooking with great tools!

Good Idea... I need this!

Here are mine:

1. I will type up my fall menu selections and send off to my 8/30 hostess for her selection.

2. I will make us a dinner tonight, and stop letting my PG hormones get the best of me as they have this week!

3. I LOVE doing PC because I am able to work at my own discretion. Last night I was getting together my outlet & discontinued email to send, in bed, while my husband was giving me a back-rub. I couldn't have done that at my old 9-5 job, HA!

1. I will follow up with the people I have contacted about the opportunity (I have 11 who need more follow up - so I may not get it all in today!, because....)

2.......I will spend the evening with "my boys" doing the Metro Cruise....without complaining! I'll just enjoy the time I get to spend with them - and be thankful that we are together, healthy, and happy!

3. PC allows me to be home with my son, and make a great part time income on my terms!

1. I will get all my September host packets done. I have 1 to deliver today.
2. I am taking the kids for a picnic at the park with friends. This is as much for me as them. I have not seen my mommy friends much this summer. I have missed them Greatly!!!
3. Flexibility Baby!

Thank Janet!

Janet, this was a great idea. What a great way to get all us thinking happy thoughts again 1. For my business, I am going to FINALLY order some logo wear AND work the phones.
2. For my family, I am going to focus on enjoying these last few days before school starts. I'll miss them once they go
3. So many reasons to love PC. Right now I'll go with the fact that I love that I represent a company with such high standards & that treats us & our customers so well!
