Yahoo, thanks! I'm going to have to get a catty show in December now. I'm really busy at work that month, so only planned to do an open house with some other DS consultants...so I need a catty show, or the open house to make enough to break it into two!

I do have 5 shows booked for Nov. already, including another one of these open houses. I think I'll try to add in some catty shows and fundraisers now!
 
Aaah! I was trying to book my December heavy because I thought Sell A Thon would be then. I'm sure I can take care of November though, with only 2 shows booked so far!

Not to worry! Just think how great your paycheck will be that month!! It could pay for the holidays for you! Keep on booking!
 
I'm glad they moved it to November this year.

Me too!! November is so much better then December. :)
 
I like that they made the goals more realistic.
I have been talking to alot of potential recruits lately and and I talk about how PC rewards consistancy. I tell them from the start that consistency is 1250 in sales. That will get you all the promotions and keep you with a good paycheck.
So when I think about june I get a little steamed because just that once they bumped it to 1500. Annoying, but I think if you were consistantly doing 1250 you could probably have gotten that fairly easily.
Of course, no cluster challenge which to me is good.
So I am happy, now I have to talk up Noveember!

**** a crud no spell check.
 
Thanks for that heads up! I'll have to look at moving my Mystery Host Show into November.
 
This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing. It gives us a full month instead of just two weeks to work on shows. People seem to be so busy once December rolls around too. It's like all of the holiday preparations really need to get done then.

I had a great show last night and got my October calendar filled so I was already going to start on my November calendar. This helps me know where I want to be with that!

Good luck, everyone!! ^5!!!
