My last host really wanted to sign, but her DH says no way. I've been in touch with closing out her show, and she is still interested, but says she just can't do it. Since submitting her show, I have secured 2 more bookings from guests at her show (total of 5). Yesterday I forwarded the Dream patrol email, with a "just in case you are still interested", I got a response back that she is starting to feel foolish for not trying this and to let her know what is announced on Friday!!:D :D Maybe, Just maybe, I might get #4!! I know that I shouldn't get excited yet, but I just can't help it!!:o
 
Wow - your are fast-tracking it to Directorship!

Just make sure you develop a strong team before you accept - especially with the personal sales requirement changing to $750/mo. soon. You'd hate to work so hard then relinquish. The rate you are going though, keep recruiting and you'll do great!
