With Wave 3 starting tomorrow, I've been thinking ... (always a dangerous thing, btw) ...

Can we start talking about things as they finish the day they are revealed? Like can we start talking about new products Monday afternoon? Or do we need to wait until the whole thing is over?
 
My concern is what about the Canadian consultants (aka Wave 4) - If we reveal wave 3 info is this infringing on the Canadians or is their conference and specials totally different
 
I would think that would be OK..??????
 
hmmmmm.... don't they have different stuff?
 
Conference can't be over yet - I have not even gotten to the airport yet

LOL!

I will probably have a zillion New Posts when I get back

I always sort by what is new first

Talk to you guys soon!!! Wish me luck I am exicted but also very nervous
 
Deb said (In her "I'm Back!" thread) that we could start posting announcements at 9am central time WEDNESDAY. Because the Canadian market is so similar to the US, I've already posted a warning in the Canadian area that those consultants attending their conference may want to stay away starting Wednesday, if they want to be surprised.
 
I can't WAIT to talk about it all!!!:D
