Mi/Northern Oh - B. Ellsworth Nov. 1

[chefann]

Oops- I forgot to make the poll on the other thread public so I could see who would be coming. Sorry about that!


As Melissa posted (here), Belinda Ellsworth is offering a greatly discounted seminar in the Detroit area on November 1.

Yes, I know that November is likely to be Sell a Thon month, and it's the beginning of the real sales push for the holidays. But $10 for a 4-hour seminar is a steal!

I'm opening my house, which is about 15 minutes away from the event location, to anyone who wants to come over afterward. We'll have some lunch and visit a little. But I'd like to get a rough headcount so I can plan for food, etc.

Coming with cluster mates? Bring them! Even if you're not going to the seminar, you can join us for some chit-chat!

 

[AnnieBee]

I wish I could come! Maybe I can convince DH that we need to go visit his sister...

 

[chefsteph07]

I want to go, I'm talking w my director and another clustermate to see about going.

 

[DebbieJ]

Ann, that is so nice of you. I wish I could come.

 

[heather223]

I wish I could come, I have a show that day... if she reschedules, I am there!

 

[chefann]

Ann, that is so nice of you. I wish I could come.

It's the weekend - and my couch pulls out!

 

[PCMelissa]

Ann, Can I let you know closer to the date? I have every intention of attending the Seminar as of now. However, I will have a 2.5 week old. So I hate to make def plans for anything. I couldn't help but register thinking that even if I didn't end up going I could miss out on the $10. And, not sure yet, I might be ok to go to the Seminar, but feel like I need to get right home afterwards. Add to the 2.5 week old that my Mom went on lifesupport on Sat. Off now, but I have no idea where things are headed. UGH. It has been a rough year for me

 

[JAE]

Ann, I wish Becky and I could come. I was thinking about it, but now there's a family birthday party that day. My son is one with a birthday. Sooo nice of you. I'm sad I'm going to miss out.

My recruiter is my closest clustermate and she does not travel b/c she has 2 small kids.Meanwhile, I'm forced to drive my car hundreds of miles weekly for work and am not sure how much I can ask of Ye Olde Cutlass. Oh, and my roomate allegedly wants a show that day, and I'm driving an hour north for a show on the 2nd.If roomie cancels on me, I MIGHT be willing to split the gas with someone around here ...

 

[chefann]

Melissa- no problem. I'm just trying to get a general count so that I don't have food for 3 when 10 show up. Sorry to hear about your mom, too.JAE- well, crud.

 

[chefann]

Just over a month to the Belinda Ellsworth seminar in Novi. Anyone else considering coming?

 

[PCMelissa]

Ann, I updated my vote to No. My husband is going to be out of town that day. So, I will need to get back to the new little one. Not to mention that at this time I am not even sure I will have a babysitter for either for the seminar anymore. My mom was my primary babysitter!

 

[chefann]

Aw, darn. But I totally understand. I hope you can find a sitter so you can at least go to the training.

 

[chefann]

This training is in 2 days!Anyone else going?I will mention that because there hasn't been any feedback/responses to my lunch invitation, I'm withdrawing it. I haven't had time to properly clean house. (Nor will I, since I have other things I'm dealing with right now.)

 

[chefsteph07]

SO HOW WAS IT?
I am dying to know!!!!

 

[Chef Kearns]

It's cool that she's our speaker at Leadership. Belinda has such good energy and great thing to share from her business successes.

 

[chefann]

It was really good. I'm also excited to see her at Leadership (when I requalify to go), because I'm pretty sure her talk then will focus on the "for leaders" aspect of her training. This workshop was the "Step into Success" basics - but it's always good to hear it again!There were a lot of people there, from many different companies. A bunch had donated door prizes and ticket sales helped offset the expenses of the event.I met Carol there, and she seemed like a really nice gal. And someone else, whose name escapes me at the minute (now I'm really embarassed).
