Who would have known that the daughter of one of my hay suppliers is an advanced director ? I contacted her mom today to verify this and she had her daughter call me right away. She is booked for several months but set me up with one of her downline consultants. I will be signing under that consultant to help her start her downline. Oh, the AD has more than 60 in her downline. For reasons i will not mention , i am very pleased with this change. A huge thanks to all of you and your outreached arms. Ya`ll are an amazing and wonderful bunch here. If not for this site I would have cancelled my party and not looked back. Thank you !!!
