For those who don't know my story: I was laid off from a great job in August this year and was totally devastated. My husband is self-employed yet I have my Pampered Chef business.

Now here we are nearing the end of November and I had to share with you my status: I am still searching for that full-time position somewhere (looking for the benefits mostly). However, my PC business has doubled and even tripled this month and I have not increased the number of shows! I have also signed two recruits!

What was the difference you may ask? MY ATTITUDE! Before, I was real casual about what this business could mean for them and now I am on fire for the business! My personal testimony has lit the fire in many people and I have a great schedule of shows lined up through next year and I am so blessed! We have a great business opportunity and why I took it so casually before is crazy. The time is now and I am taking control!
 
Awesome good for you Danielle! :)
 
there is a reason... it is you! congratulations!
 
You should share that story with PC's "I CAN DO IT". I know some people are annoyed by those emails, but I think they can offer encouragement to others! There are occasionally stories shared that fit MY circumstances and give me a little boost in spirit now and then. Your's would definitely be one of them! Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree!
 
That's awesome to hear! Congrats!! I'm glad you shared with us...I love hearing and celebrating others' success! May it continue!! Wahoooo!
 
That is so great! I wish I was more like you. I let despair and fear take over and it ruined my life. Well, I ruined my life because I let it. I am so proud of you and thank you for the inspiration! And bobbi is right. Share that with HO. I like the e-mails. Many do not apply to me but if I did not get them, I would miss the ones I needed to see. As you may have noted I did not say "wanted to see".
 
Congrats..and I agree you should let HO know..I do like receiving the emails.
 
I like reading it here first, and agree, you should let HO know!
Way to go!
 
Good for you!
 
You are an inspiration. Congratulations!
