Ah! I didn't mean to make anyone want to "aspire" to reach a higher level. I think anyone with a set goal in mind is doing great! Whether it's level 1 or level 4, it's all good! :D

No, you should make us want to aspire to a higher level! :D

I just wanted to chime in that I'm on the low end so people feel free to post their lower goals and don't feel shy because they aren't an awesome recruiting machine like you Laura. ;)

My goal is half of a level 1 but it is still a good goal for those at that level in their business.

You are right about recruiting being the key...it gets points fast.

I'm at 19,779 points and I'm hoping to reach Level I by conference since I have a recruit who needs only one more show and she's qualified and I get 2,000 points. Yahoo!!!!

I really need to kick ass since I want to earn the Cruise. I'm glad I'm going to conference to re-energize!!!

:eek: We are at just about the same place! I am so glad that you seem convinced that it is still attainable!!:D
 
Would love to earn the cruise!! I am currently at 18,602. I will for s ure get level 1 but would love level 2. need to start recruiting!!!

Amy07 & Stacie B: We can do this!!! Recruiting is the way to do it. I think it is still attainable. I WANT this trip since my husband nor I have been on a cruise.

We went to Hawaii on a business trip (my husband's) and it was all paid for. I want to do the same for him!
 
I am at just under 6,000 and my goal is level 1. I've been in a funk for the last few months, but am starting to get re-energized and feel that watching my SD's show tomorrow night and going to conference are going to help me get it! Plus I was only 2,000 points away from level 1 last year, and I only had sold for like 9 months (and didn't sell anything for 2 of those!), so I am hoping that in having the full year I can do it!
 
I am at 36k points. Based on my sales history and upcoming calendar and recruiting goals, I feel like I have the cruise in the bag.

London would be nice, but honestly I feel like the cruise would suit us better.
 
48.309 is where I am currently at. I am aiming for DC, level 4...but would be happy with level 3, too. I just want to be able to take my kids on a PC trip...it would mean SO much to me to be able to bring them.

Ditto that, Carolyn. I want to take my kids soooo bad. Especially at the age they will be (my son will be 11, my daughter will be 9) when we go! We talked about buying them in to London, but I think the DC trip will be much more kid-friendly. :)

My older son will be almost 10 and my younger son will be 6 1/2. I think DC is SUCH a great, educational trip for them! Hopefully we can get together in DC with the hubbies and all our kids!

That'd be awesome! We MUST do that. :D
 
I currently have 14,900 points. I really want that cruise! I just don't know if I can do it. If my June would have been what the rest of my months have been, I could have seen it happening, with a lot of recruiting. But, I was in a slump (July is looking better though!) b/c of my grandma passing away. June has no sales (I mean ZERO dollars!!!!).

I know that I can do level 1 though & work on next years' trip even harder!
 
With CDN and US Leadership being joined next year, I'm willing to bet that we'll have the same trips next year. :)
 
I currently have 34,482 and I would LOVE to have Level 3 and we'd do the DC trip and bring our 2 and 5 year olds. The cruise would be awesome too, so I won't be too sad if we don't make level 3, except for the fact that I'd miss out on getting that extra TPC day. BUT my parents who would be the ones to watch the kids may not be here April 14-18th, so that would shoot the cruise option since we probably wouldn't buy them in. It's our 10th anniversary next year, so one option is to take the gift card and go to VEGAS!! Then we'd have more flexibility around my parents' schedule so they could watch them in May and we'd do that.

If I recruit like crazy (I swear I have about 5 or 6 pretty warm/hot leads, but they won't take the plunge!), Level 3 would happen, but I had a couple icky sales months, so now I"m not on track for level 3. You never know though!!!! When I earned the cruise last time (Level 2) I really cranked it out from Sept-Dec and it happened!!! I say that so all of you who are gunning for a level you think might not be possible---it IS!!! Go for it!:)
 
I have 11,321! I REALLY wanted the crusie but I am 42,679 away! I have about 3 "maybes" for the recruiting thing and am wainting for my one and only recruit to submit her 4th show so I can get that 2000. Do you think there's any possible way I'll make it??? I better get my sales up! I'm hoping I'll get my first $1000 show in July! I want points! Okay, I guess I'll be happy if I can get to level one. BUT....my husband would probably like the business a whole lot more if I took him on a free cruise! (not that he doesn't like PC)

How many points do you have so far, and what are you aiming for??

I am aiming for Washington DC for 4 (with TPC extra day/extra $100)
I currently have 49,000 points
I need 25,000 points by December 31. I want to have it earned by Thanksgiving - or maybe Halloween? - LOL... so I don't stress out! :p
Click to expand...
Counting this month so far online and what I have here about to send it is: Approx. 33,445 points! I'm excited as I have never had this much by this time. I'm well over half way there. I'm going for the CRUISE!!! I need to reach 52,000 by December 31st so I have about 18,500 to go. I can do it! I just gotta keep recruiting to get those 2,000 points and keep my sales the way they are going now! I really want to earn it all by end of November too so I'm not stressing either!

You GO GIRL!!! :D 46k! :eek: That's fantastic!! Are Germany points different? Do you get 1 point per $1?

Okay, I'm at 28,263 and will have another 2,000 points this weekend (a recruit qualifying) and I'll also be getting the 3,000 for promoting to Director. When do we get those points? :confused:

I would absolutely LOVE London but am also shooting for the cruise. We had such a good time in San Fran that I will be earning a trip EVERY year!!!
Click to expand...
My 3,000 points showed up like 2 weeks later. I know it will be after the 10th becuase that is when the IPT updates. It took those points I think about 2-3 days longer though. It was driving me crazy!!! Congrats on her qualifying! How many will you have then when you promote?
 
GEEZ Kristi I just figured and after you get the 2,000 points and the 3,000 points we are just about the same in points totals. Does that include your June sales too?
 
I am at 59,138! I have a friend that is walking in wave1 for earning level 3 already! She got me motivated to do more shows a month and to treat this as a full time job.

Laura is right about recruiting being the way to earn the trips.

I really want to go to London, but we promised the kids DC. So I am aiming for Level 4 with TPC. They will be 13 and 11 so they should be able to handle the museums maturely...I just hope they appreciate it

Weird Sharon!! Yes, it includes my sales up until my show last night. With my 2,000 and my 3k and my 600 from last nights show, it puts me at 33,863!!

We are right at the same point!! Too cool!! you are also in Wave 2, right? I really hope to meet you!:D
 
I only have a goal of 12,000 this year, but next year, I definitely want to work to earn a trip. 2009 will be my 10th anniversary and I REALLY want to take my hubby somewhere. Hoping this is my building year to build the customers/relationships to reach that goal in 2008!

YEP! WAVE 2 for me and am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to get organized. My Stepdaughter's wedding is right before that so I feel so disorganized. I want to pack and get things ready for Conference but have to do the wedding stuff first.
 
I only have 5,996. :( I want at least 23,000 but I seriously doubt it. I have tried recruiting to get more points but so far that's not happening. I will get over 1500 this month but still so far from 23,000.

If I can do level 3 in 10.5 months you can totally do it, April! There is still half a year left! Go for it! :D :D
 
Thanks for the encouragement ladies!! I hope to make it!! I really want it!! Sooo maybe if the desire is there.....:D
 
this quote helped me last year:

When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get it.

So how badly do you want it?......=)
