[mommyhugz1978]

[mommyhugz1978]

What is your secret to that many shows in a month?

I got home awhile ago and my show is at $758 with my recruit signing as soon as her show is processed!!!

You know - when I sit back and look at things logically I have to laugh at myself.
I already own TWO pink HWC aprons...plus 3 denim ones, a red one, a blue one and a red, white & blue one (all PC of course). But dangit, I WANT the new pink HWC apron. Do I need it? No. Do I need the new HWC products? No - but I sure woudl like them...but heck, they only add up to $19 so I can easliy buy them for myself. But here I am busting my butt to get three shows in & donw before the 15th so I can get all this *stuff.*
I am a sucker for stuff.
I work so hard to eanr incentives...often of stuff I don't want or need...but I have this deep-seated NEED to get the incentives - LOL
Dangle that carrot in front of me and I'll work like a dog!

 

[gilliandanielle]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..........sorry.........

Thanks Ginger- I am going to make up for a lackluster Jan & Feb with a blockbuster March!! Whoo hoo! I am so glad we have new products!!

 

[gilliandanielle]

What, your commission isn't good enough for you???

Too bad it is already spent, LOL! I guess I will take the commission, but I would rather have some recruits qualify so I can get recruiting points... why can't they just get their shows in? I need to be earning something at all times!!

This is exactly where I am at!! I HATE aprons and look horrible in them. I can't even wear it for HWC shows because I refuse to drape fabric over my giganto bump, especially by the time May rolls around! I don't need it, but just because it is there I HAVE to earn it. I didn't get anything done in January and I am still bummed that I missed out on the cookware bags!

 

[Tree]

Gillian,

How is your bump doing?

 

[gilliandanielle]

Still there, thanks for asking! I have had more contractions and "lady pressure" today so I am trying to take it easy, but I feel the pressure whenever I stand up no matter what I am doing. My real doctor (I saw an on-call at the hospital) was a lot more concerned due to my history of dialating quickly and without warning and wants to see me weekly (16 more weeks until my due date...ugg). Hopefully I can bake her long enough that she can come home with us! I have never left a baby at the hospital and don't know if I could handle it.

 

[Tree]

I haven't had to do that either, but my mom did with my youngest brother. He was 6 weeks premie. We lived in Anchorage and she was able to be at the hospital everyday, while the three of us older kids were in school.

 

[gilliandanielle]

I didn't know you were from Alaska! I am hoping to make it long enough that I can stay in Wasilla and not have to go to Anchorage. I would hate to not only leave her at the hospital but to have to drive into Anchorage every day to visit her!!

 

[Tree]

All of us kids were born in Anchorage. We moved outside in 72, when I was in the forthe grade, to West Virginia and then in 78, just finished my sophomore year, moved to Oregon. I have been here ever since. I still have a lot of family up there in Anchorage, Sterling, and Palmer.

 

[gilliandanielle]

I was born in Anchorage too, but in 1985

I was born at Humana Hospital (That dates me enough because it is called Alaska Regional Hospital now!)

 

[Tree]

Uhmmm.... That's the year I got Married!!!!!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Yeah... I am a young'un!! We lived in Anchorage until I was 9 months and then my parents moved to the Valley for the slower pace. 20 years later they are building in Willow for the slower pace there because the Valley is booming now!

 

[SillyChef]

Okay here is my schedule for March. 1 show closing tomorrow. My DH is doing a catalog show at work. Cooking shows on the 10th, 16th, 17th, 24th. I am still looking to do 2 more.

I say the same thing Carolyn!!! Dangle that carrot in front of me and I will earn it!!! Hey Free is FREE, right?

 

[lacychef]

EXACTLY!!! I love being at shows & holding up things I've earned for free, & sharing that with my guests. It gives a good image for PC I think.

 

[pamperedgirl3]

I have seven shows this month, possibly eight. I had one last night (March 1) & have the rest on March 5, 9, 11, 17, 25, 31. One of the outside orders from my last Feb. show wants to have a March show, but I haven't gotten ahold of her yet. Hers would have to go on March 22 because that's my last open date left. I'm not doing more than 8 shows a month. Possibly less now b/c I'm 8 weeks PG & they are wiping me out! I'm excited to get the HWC apron! I should also definitely get the mid-season b/c I also have some April shows on the calendar already too!

That's AWESOME! Keep up that momentum!!!

 

[raebates]

I'm all about earning the stuff, too. My DH just rolls his eyes when I open the packages and start doing the happy dance. He thinks I have plenty. I think there's no such thing.

My dh and yours would get along great! He thinks that I don't need ANYTHING else but I tell him FREE is FREE and I will EARN it so I don't have to BUY it. That usually shuts him up!

 

[dollfangs]

I have 4 right now but think I will do the 24 in 24 tonight or tomorrow and see if I can't get a packed calendar

 

[gilliandanielle]

My DH doesn't even blink anymore when the Fedex guy comes. He always says "As long as I didn't pay for it!". I got my new consultant tote (FREE!) yesterday and my kids took turns riding in it! It is HUGE!

Maybe there should be a support group for spouses of PC consultants. They could all sit around and complain about how their kitchens (and, honestly, several other rooms) have been taken over by PC products.
