So. By now, most of you know I am planning on promoting VERY SOON. I began my business in November. I recruited my FIRST recruit in January. I had a interview with one potential today. Well, she brought her friend to "babysit" while we were chatting, I started talking to the friend as well, and Caleb entertained the baby. They both are doing catalog shows right now so that they can get the kit credit. They BOTH will be signed by FEB 8th! I am SO excited right now it is unreal! They will also be qualified by March 31st since I spent a while developing their list of 100 as a list of people to ask for orders now, BUT also let them know that they are starting their own businesses and they would LOVE to host shows with them! I am so excited for these two. They really deserve everything that Pampered Chef has to offer. The friend that was going to be the babysitter told me why she was going to begin her business for her mother.

Her story:

She is 20. She is from Mexico. She is the oldest of her siblings. Her father passed away and the family is struggling financial wise. When I asked what is the most important factor is starting her business, she responded. "I don't want to have my mom worry about money anymore. Or hear her crying at night. I don't want to have my family worry about money at all." :( That broke my heart....
