I have not sold anything since Dec. because I did not know what the economy was going to do. I have never been a high seller.
I needed to get a few things for someone and decided to email my old director to get someones name. She told me I just had to do a $150 show before July 31st and I will become active again plus get the change over kit.
The first thing I do is renew my membership here!
It has been fun checking up on all the new things.
 
Welcome Back!!!
 
My biggest tip is to not listen to what the news is saying about the economy. My business is still going strong if not stronger since last fall! I just had my highest show ever this month and my highest month ever last November.
