Right now I have 2 cooking & 1 catalog, plus an open house I'm doing. I'm not quite sure how many I want to have next month. Normally I would have tried for at least 8 cooking, but I'll be 38 weeks pregnant by the end of the month & don't want to wear myself out--or put myself into labor too early!!!! I'm hoping for maybe 4-6 cooking. October will be catalog shows only, so I really want to get as many points in September as I can for the pans. I only have one cooking & one catalog this month, so I'm really banking on September!

That sums it up perfectly. I am working on a WOW month for September and I need lots more shows! I am trying for $10K in sales....twice my highest month ever. I'm trying for a big fundraiser and should know if I get it later this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I jalso sent out a mini-catalog mailing today with a call me before I call you postcard so hopefully I'll hear from that as well....

I have 10 Kitchen shows and 1 Catty show. This is the most I have done and I hope to stay on track doing at least 10 shows a month. I am really looking forward to September. :) :) :) :)

I got about 20 mini-catalogs ready today to mail out tomorrow that I plan to follow up with next week. Then I will be sending out about 50 or so more in the next couple of weeks with invites to my open house in early September.
 
  • #23
Do they ever call back??? hahaha. I think I've had a couple of folks call me, but that's about it. :)

As for other fall months, I have 1 cooking in October, 2 cooking in November, and 1 cooking 'maybe' in December. But, of course, I never count the maybes until I have a date!!

I'm personally freaking out about my daughter going to preschool. I'm at home with her and it's a big adjustment (in my head). Happy for her, but not sure how it will change my life. A few hours a day and she's gone so...not much? So silly, but that is why I haven't booked too many shows. I'm scared to. Dumb or lame excuse? Probably...though I'm not USING it as an excuse, it's really high anxiety for me. After all, she's only been watched by people who love her as much as I do. No babysitters, no daycare...so why should I trust the teacher they pick for her. Not knocking teachers at ALL, just the idea of not being completely connected with the person before they have control over my kid's well-being. ANYWAY...congrats to everyone! The cookware promo is awesome and I WILL get on the phone. I would love to have 6-10 shows.Thanks for "listening".

I haven't been through this yet, but dread when it comes. Luke has mainly been kept by family too. He has gone to a sitter 2 days but she only has a few kids, so, it is not like a daycare. I know I will be a basket case when the time comes.

I will say a prayer for you.

Well, I'm just getting my business back in gear after letting it slip over the spring/summer so I'm glad just to have the two shows (one other potential if I can get a date set). Still trying to put together an August show to stay active:rolleyes:

DS is 3, and begging to go to school (doesn't want to go bad enough to potty train though!:rolleyes: ) and I am dreading it! I feel the exact same way! I am seriously considering homeschooling - I just can't imagine just giving him over to someone else for part of the day! He has never been to daycare - and our babysitter that we use when we have "date-night" is either Grandparents, or a 22 yr old young lady who is a family friend, extremely responsible, and loves him dearly.

I have 3 with dates and I'm hoping for 5 more. I know I have 4 follow up calls to make next week so maybe I'll get those to schedule in September. I have three shows so far this month and I hope to schedule at least three September shows from those shows.

I must be in the minority here! My DD is 2 & will be going to preschool next fall. I'm excited for her to go already! I used to be a teacher, though, so maybe that's why I am not worried about a teacher being in charge of her. She's always been with me or family members--I don't remember a time that anyone BUT family has watched her. But I'm looking forward to her being able to do something on her own all by herself that she gets to tell me about. Plus I can't wait for her to make friends with the kids at school. I babysit my almost 4 year old nephew & will be babysitting his 3 week old sister in 5 more weeks & will have my own newborn in October, so we don't get out much to make friends. I'm just able to go to the library once a week for storytime, that she LOVES. Hopefully I'm not the ONLY person excited for my daughter to go to school!!:D
