Woohoo! It was like Christmas for me! I have my stuff printed out, added to the host packets, labels printed out, business cards added, and waiting for kids to go to bed so I can watch the DVD's. I am so excited! My Grand Opening is Monday night at 6:30. And I have 3-4 cat shows for this month and 2 for next month!!

My question is, do you host coach your cat shows like you do your cooking shows? What do you do different? Do you add anything different or keep it the same (other than the catalog planning guide)?
 
You rock!!! you really got it all together fast! That's great! soooo...I don't know how to coach catalog shows either, and I'm hoping to see what others have to say.....but congratulations! I opened my box on Saturday. I finally got my host packages completed yesterday....I have one friend running a catalog show while she travels, her idea, but apparently she doesn't check email..
