Nervous Caller Becomes an Official Consultant!

In summary, Gillian received a call from HO asking to speak to her about a potential business opportunity. Gillian was very excited to speak with HO, but when she heard HO's voice, she realized that she was not as excited about the opportunity as she thought she was. HO was very nice and they talked for about 10 minutes. Gillian's heart was pounding so fast that she was sure HO could hear it in Chicago. My DD was watching Wonder Pets (a creepy cartoon where tiny animals save big animals by teaming up) and they were saving something. My DD was screaming in the background "help! help! help!" pretending to be the animal so

I was totally not excited about my HO call, but when I saw HO's number on my caller id I about lost my breakfast! The lady was so nice and we chatted for about 10 minutes. My heart was pounding so fast that I was sure she could hear it in Chicago! My DD was watching Wonder Pets (a creepy cartoon where tiny animals save big animals by teaming up) and they were saving something. My DD was screaming in the background "help! help! help!" pretending to be the animal so the HO lady probably thinks I am nuts!

Anyway, I am official! The woman thought it was hilarious that I was most excited about my PC dollars, but I want to spend them in kit enhancement month when I can get almost twice as much for my money!!
 
Congratulations! Have a ball celebrating!!!!
 
That's funny!
Congrats,,,very cool!
 
Congrats... that is soo exciting for you!!
 
Congratulations!!! My kids LOVE Wonder Pets also!
 
Congratulations, Gillian! You've made me really excited to "get the call," which I hope will be within the next 30 days (or sooner!). You've worked really hard for this, so enjoy the feeling that goes with accomplishment!

Mary
 
Congratulations!!
 
Congratulations Gillian! You deserve it and more!
 
Congrats!! That is perfect timing for KE! Enjoy spending HO's money!!! :)

It is good to know I am not the only one that has to watch Wonder Pets everyday!

My director told me to come to the cluster meeting early this month so she could show me how to use the director reports, etc. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I will know all about it from my CS friends weeks before the meeting!!

Congratulations Gillian!!! I wish you much continue success!! I am so glad you got "the call."

No Thanks for putting that darn Wonder Pets song in my brain though!!! :D My son like them too. They are cute and it is a good show but in a way they are kind of creepy to me too.:eek:

The puppy episode is my 3 year old's favorite too because they let the puppy outside to go pee pee, and her new "job" is to let our dog out. Hey- if she lets the dog out so I don't have to and feels like a wonder pet doing it who am I to stop her??

Way to Go, Gillian!!!!

Congratulations! It's been so much fun watching and "listening" to your progress. You are an inspiration!

Congratulations Gillian!!! That is so exciting for you! For my friend's daughter's birthday she made 4 cakes... one for each wonderpet... you are definitely not the only person out there that has to listen to that theme song everyday! :)

My son will be 2 in May and he walks around saying "Teamwork!". He doesn't talk a whole bunch so people think it is kinda weird that he says that!

Way to go Gillian! Directorship is such a rewarding experience and I feel so blessed to have it be a part of my life. Though it can be a stuggle at times to balance your own business and the business's of others, the rewards far outweigh the frustrating times. I wish you lots of success as you continue to grow your team!

Wonder Pets, wonder pets, we're on our way....
Congrats Gillian! and my girls love the kitten episode and the elephant one. I have to say the song is so catchy we sing it alot when we are getting ready for dinner. It's our crazy cranky part of the day and singing a song they love makes them happy and I can get more work done without being pestered to death.

I haven't heard of the Wonder Pets, but they HAVE to be better than Barney!! I always said that my kids would never know who he is! Good thing he phased out pretty quickly!!

OMG...ALL the kids in my Pre-K class sing this song ALL the time. When I have them clean up the toys i hear, "what's gonna work?...." When they are doing a floor puzzle together I hear, "what's gonna work?...." It's never-ending!


Congratulations Gillian! Directorship is a really great accompishment...way to go!:D

Congrats, Gillian!

I'm still so far away from that & losing hope. :( I have 2 qualified, 1 that's 1 show away & 1 that's 2 shows away & don't have #5 yet. So, probably no stage walk for me, but I'm not giving up, yet.

Nice new signature! I am so excited for you!

While I was on the phone with customer service today, my dd was playing a Dora game on the computer & the HO lady kept saying there was a weird noise in the background. She thought it was funny when I said it was my dd. Oh, & we do watch wonderpets too! Definately better than Barney! LOL

Ginger: I'm right there with ya! I've got the leads....just gotta get 'em to sign!

(I had more smilies, but it told me I could only have 8! LOL)

Thanks ladies! My next goal is the New Director Fast Track! I need 3 recruits and $9000 in sales in my first three months. I have one of the recruits already! I won't be able to attend conference, but the briefcase would be nice :) Since I won't get to walk at conference this year my long term goal is to walk at Leadership and walk at Conference as an Advance Director! WHOO HOO! I LOVE goals!
