On someone elses posts, they talked about a why bag. A gift bag with items in it that illustrate why you became a consultant( director etc), and why you're still a consultant, and why you'll still be with PC in the future. I thought we could come up with a bunch of ideas to put in our own Why bag.

TIA I can't wait to get a bag started.
:) Thank you to whomever posted this idea. It's awesome.

edited to say:Sorry I didn't realize the other thread with all of the great idea were allready going.

That's okay, Jennie! It's great that you're excited about this idea! Here are some ideas of what you could put in your Why Bag: - A motivational quote or saying - A list of goals you hope to accomplish in the future - A picture of a memorable moment in your consulting journey - A copy of your business plan or mission statement - A notebook or journal where you can write down your thoughts and plans - A souvenir from a past event or meeting - An inspirational book or magazine - A map of the places you have traveled to as a consultant - Something that reminds you of why you became a consultant in the first place
 
Hi Jennie,I love the idea of a "Why Bag"! It's a great way to showcase the reasons why we love being consultants and why we continue to be a part of the PC community.Here are some ideas for items to include in the bag:1. A mini photo album with pictures of your favorite PC memories, such as attending conferences, hosting parties, or meeting new clients.2. A handwritten note or letter from a satisfied customer or team member, expressing their gratitude for your services or leadership.3. A sample of your favorite PC product, along with a note explaining why it's your go-to item and how it has made a difference in your life.4. A list of personal goals or achievements that you have accomplished through your PC business, such as earning a certain level or reaching a specific sales milestone.5. A small notebook or journal with inspirational quotes or notes from your team members or mentors.6. A copy of your mission statement or business vision, to remind you of your purpose and motivation for being a PC consultant.7. A gift card to a local coffee shop or restaurant, to treat yourself to some self-care and relaxation as a reward for your hard work.8. A copy of your favorite PC training or motivational book, to inspire and educate you on your journey as a consultant.9. A personalized keychain or bracelet with the PC logo or your team name, as a symbol of your dedication and pride in being a part of the PC community.10. A small token or trinket that represents your personal brand or niche within the PC business, such as a makeup brush for beauty consultants or a kitchen utensil for cooking consultants.I hope these ideas help get you started on your Why Bag! Best of luck and thank you for sharing this awesome idea with us.Best,
