SWEET DEAL for you Directors! :) Thanks for the response Beck! ;)
 
It is a sweet deal for them! But I think they have to work their booties off to get them from what I understand.

Just didn't want someone to think they get it without hard work!:D And I am not a Director, so, I can toot their horn for them on the work they have to put in, LOL!

Nah, it's not much work - I think it's like $1250/mo in 3 out of the 4 previous months, or something like that. As a Director (or future for that matter) you should be selling at least that anyway. ;)
I always did/still do around $4000 or so in personal sales - that way I know I'm covered for whatever bonuses I'm shooting for. :D

Congratulations Laura! I'm so happy for you. I'm looking forward to seeing the video too.
Its up! The video was posted today on the main company website... Gah! Tom and I are in it quite a bit ;)
I think I'd get the boot if I posted the link here though, right? :(
 
What could they do - fire you?

LOL. :p
My company doesnt mind if I share the video with my friends on here... I meant that I'd get the boot from certain folks on here who like to gripe ;)
 
Well, you're right, we do have a couple of people up here who can find the cloud around every silver lining.

How's this... I'll just give general directions rather than a link. I know there are a few folks who sincerely were excited for me and wanted to see the video from our trip to Hollywood when it was done, and I promised I'd share it. So... if you go to "the main company website" and click on "streaming video", my video is the first one called "Hollywood Leaders retreat". Please ignore how puffy I look in the video, the camera really does add about 65 pounds. lol. ;)

Oh - and to update this thread topic, PC did send me an updated 1099 instead of shipping the products from my director kit. Oh well! ;)
 
For people who weren't on CS when you left, can you give us a wee bit more info to direct us to the site. I want to know what all the hub bub is about! ;) Also, did Tom Marston leave PC also? Thanks!

I'm sorry that I have to be so vague... I wish I could show my excitement without people feeling like I'm trying to be sneaky or something. It's really not about that. I have lots of friends on the board and love them dearly, and just want to share, but it's hard to do that without people (who don't know me) thinking that I'm trying to be vindictive.
Anyway - I PM'd you the answers to your questions.
 
Had to go check out the video.....Laura, you & Tom both look fabulous! Good luck with your continued success:thumbup:
 
Ok, I have a hard time keeping a straight face when Jeff is talking... ;)Tom gave you some great compliments Laura - SMILE when you get them....and if that is 65 lbs. the camera added, you'd look anorexic without!!!! You look great Laura and that house you were in is HUGE!!!! Congratulations on your successes!
 
Video was great and you looked very nice! Good luck in all you do, not matter what company you are with!!!! :chef:

LOL. Jeff is a riot. He is so... normal. You know what I mean? He is the president of the company, but he acts like the guy next door. He's always willing to take my calls and replies to emails. I know part of it is being in while the company is still "ground floor", but I also think its just who he is. He's really a good guy. I love the part in the video when he's in bed with 5 women and his wife walks in (his wife was/is our first consultant) :D LOL!

Barry and his crew did a good job with the cameras... I was terrified the entire time. Every time I saw one of those cameras I'd get nauseous. LOL. Before the video interviews, Lydia and I were nervous so Jeff treated us to lunch to calm us down before the interview. Haha! ;)
 
I just got on the site and watched your video and it is very good!! I'm glad you're doing so well!
 
Great video Laura. You look fantastic! Congrats!
 
Laura, you look great! I almost didn't recognize you without your boots though!
 
Can someone PM me with the name of Laura and Tom's company? Well, not their company, but the company they joined. I know what it sells but can't for the life of me remember the name and I wanna see the video toooooo..:cry: :cry: :cry:
 
Thanks for the PM Keri-Lyn, watching the video now! :)
 
Laura...I just got your email and was able to watch the video!

How fun! I am in love with their house...and all of you ladies look like superstars!!

I loved your segments...you were some composed and really spoke to the heart. Great job!

I could tell you were more nervous at the party...I would have been too! How odd to have cameras around every corner!!

I am so happy that you are doing so well!
