Life Updates: Refocusing Priorities and Dad's Health Journey

[pamela]

Hi to all! I haven't been on here or CS in ages as I have just had to really refocus my priorities and spending time on the computer ranked down on the list!

I wanted to let you all know how things have been going both PC and life wise~you have all been so supportive of me this past year!

My Dad has NO lymphoma (God truly answers prayers) but does have a golf-ball sized tumor in his liver that we are addressing right now. He has had 2 liver biopsies and is being treated with radiation therapy~the outlook is unknown.
I am no longer a Director~amazingly enough, I am OK with that. I got really tired of struggling with the team to make my goals, so now, I am the only one I have to worry about and it feels pretty good. HOWEVER~I intend to promote again in 2009! I love the benefits of Director and want to focus on helping others have what I have!
So, with these 2 big things going on in my world, I have learned afew lessons~I cannot control what I thought I could and there is no point trying AND my business is FUN and needs to be worked by me so that I can continue to have this FUN job and not go back the the hateful stressful one I left almost 2 years ago!
In light of these epiphanies, I got on the phone (imagine that!) and I now have 13 shows (Cooking, not catalog) for January! I am host coaching like crazy and am determined to earn at least level 2 to Disney World! I still have about 5-7 people that want to do January shows, but won't commit to a date right now~I will be calling them over the weekend! Who knows how many more shows I could wind up with before Christmas~!
I will continue to pop in and glean wisdom from you fine bunch of women~feel free to email me if there is any earth shattering news you think I need to hear!
Much love to you all!

Holy cow!!! 13 shows in January!!?? That's awesome! Good for you for finding what YOU want out of your business and being happy with that. That's great! Great news about your dad not having lymphoma - I hope his treatment for the tumor is successful!!

Thanks for popping in! And way to prioritize by not getting on the computer as much. I should do the same.:blushing:

That's all GREAT news@!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for posting Meg (I was just thinking about you yesterday!). Your postive spirit is amazing and just jumps out from your post. Congratulations on finding a place in your business you're happy with. And 13 cooking shows...holy smokes, batman! That's awesome!

Miss you!

Wow Meg, I'm so in awe!! You rock! 13 January shows?!?!?! I don't even have one...I need some of your energy over here. I'm so glad you posted. I've been wondering how you were doing. I can't wait for our meeting in January!!

Meg, I'm glad to hear your dad doesn't have lymphoma!! I am also glad to hear that although you lost your Directorship you plan on re-promoting. Many times people get down and give up altogether. Way to go!! Congratulations on booking 13 for January!! We'll be in Disney together. I've got 8 right now and want 12 more!

You can do it Jennifer!! Pick up that phone! If you aren't doing it neither is your team, then where will you be?

go meg-i am at 13 too---getting guest list in each day!!! I miss ya!!

Meg & Morfia, you both inspire me to get on the phone. Any suggestions on word selections or any help you can offer to someone who is behind in this area??

I also know that for TPC I can achieve Balanced Business on 2 levels...the recruiting level has been horrible for me this year. I need to recruit and qualify 11 before the end of May!!!:bugeye::cry: Last year I recruited 5 but only 2 qualified:cry::cry:

Not sure if I can acheive all that needs to be done while working full time, but I guess if I don't get my arss in gear I won't get even close! I do have 2 and possibly 3 ready to sign by the end of December...now to get them qualified!!

Wish me luck and the energy to do it and get them qualified!!:chef:

All I can say is that I am very motivated by the double points! I have been telling everyone I talk to that PC is giving me every opportunity to earn this trip and every opportunity for our hosts in January to get as much product as theycan stand! i make it sound like a win-win situation (which it is!) and I am finding that people really want to help me earn disney!

 

[Chef Kearns]

I have to Ditto that Meg. Whether people want to hear about it or not I'm sharing the Disney thing. It has revved up my team and inspired some potential recruits to go ahead and sign now to make the most of January.

the other thing that is helping me in talking to potentials right now is the extension of the "first 30 day" promotion~they can sign right now and not have to do a thing but book those shows and get ready for them in January!
