Ooh Jenni. How close? Either way.. I'll see ya in Maui. Wahooooo!!!!!
 
Congrats to all of you who earned your goals!!!
 
Becky, hubby has decided that he wants to go. He's saving to pay the transfer fee for the airline tickets & either come earlier or stay later. He wants at least a week on one side of the PC stuff to tour the area & see various friends that we have up there. He's wanting to buy-in the kids. I've asked my sister & her husband if they would be interested in joining us up there ... to be our personal nanny & take care of the kids while hubby & I enjoy the PC events and then all of the family could enjoy a 1 week vacation before/after the PC days. :D They are super excited about getting to see the kids & are looking to see if they can work it into their budget to meet us there! :D Sister's only seen the kids once in person, her husband has only seen them via Skype. :(

:party::party:YAY!! YAY!!!:party::party: If I hadn't earned Maui we were going to buy in for the kids in Toronto. The airfare is too much for Maui ( plus we have 4 of em so :eek:.)
You are going to have so much fun!!!! I am so glad you are getting to experience your first trip with PC. You won't want to miss another.
Wahoooo!!!
 
I will be taking our 28 year old daughter instead of my hubby....he and I just got back from Hawaii for the 3rd time. I wanted to give our daughter a nice vacation and he agreed.
 
That's sweet Janice! :D

I am close to Silver (Toronto) but it's not going to happen and that's okay. :)But next year, I'm all in!
 
I earned the Toronto Trip...:) What I'm happiest about is that I earned it with no stress. I've just worked my business, and carried on, and there it is! I didn't have to scramble, or make any pleas at year end...and that feels good.

We were going to use the $900 GC to take our dream vacation, but we've decided to hold off until we find out what the incentive trip is for 2011 - just in case it happens to be our dream. In that case, the $900 GC is going to pay for the furnishings for the new Four Season Sunporch that DH just added to the house.

Now that I know it's possible and doable to earn a trip without stressing over it, I'm already looking forward to earning next years trip! :party::party::party:

I feel the exact same way. I didn't kill myself this year and I still earned it. I had a really crappy summer (my own fault) and my #1 goal for 2011 is CONSISTENCY! When I achieve that, everything else will fall into place!

Could have written that myself. Although, August was pretty good - I had a less than stellar June, and an almost non-existent July (2 shows...ouch!). Thankfully, I was already so far ahead in points that I was able to coast for a bit. (not that I'm bragging about that...)
 
I have more than enough points for Toronto but am working hard to help two more qualify to get that gift card. Was trying hard for Silver and Maui but I need 4 to qualify for that and 4700 more in points myself. God may still move in and make it happen which would be wahoo cool... I have two cooking and 3 catalog shows yet this month so we shall see. Right now I am just concentrating on helping these two qualify... one needs $422 with two shows to go and one needs $525 and wants it by tomorrow so she is in her first 30 days ... a lot more stressing than I had hoped for but I want it so bad for them to just get that goal!
 
I'm with Becky & Colleen, it just all fell into place for me this year without a lot of stressing out. Really think I could have made Maui if the military hadn't have moved us, but not going to fret about it. ;)
 
long story short I was about 20,000 points away as of a few weeks ago.....~~~~~my summer was filled w/2 herniated discs & lots of pain.... so I really didn't have shows from June til Sept....thank goodnes that my January-April ROCKED!!!!

I just recruited 3 new people this month to bring it down to that & they are just about qualified.

so I'm within approx. 3,000 points @ the moment!

so much for the stress that doesn't help my back.....LOL

I'm running a HUGE sale for the next 3 weeks & have 3 shows left to submit.....


KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME!!!!!!!!!


Congrats to everyone & the level that you've achieved :)

Becky, I will end up over 100,000 pts not sure exactly where but dont have the sales at this point to even scramble for the gold level. I have a bunch that "might" qualify but truly I would rather push them into 2011 at this point. I am 2 away from Excellence and wanted to push for earning it before the end of the year but would rather sack the pts into 2011

I think pushing them to 2011 is wise. What I heard was that all levels will need 12 recruits to qualify for the top level trip next year. And that if you earn that one, you get to take the other one too.

Wow - Really?

Soooo, I really want those three who are in the process of qualifying to qualify in Jan. instead of Dec.? I don't need them for the trip - and then it would only be 9 more to qualify in 2011.

Verrrrrry interesting info. The most I've ever qualified in a year is 7. This year I qualified 6. But in 2011, I am modeling Jenni, so I expect to be able to qualify 12!!!
 
Wow... interesting!!!! Any guesses for the 2012 incentive trips? With 12 qualifying recruits, it's better be a Mediterranean Cruise! (one can wish!!!) :p

Yeah Kathy said something about it after the director call. She thought we had all been told the same thing. Evidently not.
So yes! And really- how great for us and our businesses if we meet the requirements for the top level trip, right?
So Jenni... HELP! :)

at all levels.. including execs, senior execs and nationals.
 
Anne, you can TOTALLY do that!!! :D

Wow Becky! That's nice to know in advance. I've had 10 recruits this year. 1 2009 recruit qualified & 8 of the 2010 have qualified this year. So 9 count for the trip. The last 2 of my 2010 recruits are still in their first 30 days & working on it. I'd love to see them earn New Consultant Rewards by qualifying before Jan, as the better their start the more successful they will be with their business. But man, that's temping to be selfish & not disappointed if they wait until Jan to qualify. :blushing:
