I have my first recruit! It only took a year! I wasn't even trying on this one, she had already decided and brought it up to me before I even had a chance to talk to her about it in our host coaching!

The rebate is just a bonus for her. I'm so excited to get more now. I came home from my party and kept singing to my hubby "i'm getting a raise"
 
That's awesome! You will love having a recruit. My first one joined last March and is a great start to my team - I only wish I could clone her:) Enjoy being Senior Consultant!
 
Congratulations!
 
Congrats! Enjoy the promotion and the raise!
 
Awesome! Congrats!!! So, you've been planting the seeds for the past year & one sprouted? :) That is great - I am in my 4th month & starting to feel the need to recruit, but the whole thing makes me very uncomfortable! I have made it a goal this year to talk to more people about the business opportunity! Wish me luck!
 
That's wonderful. Congratulations!
