I did an Open House today at my house - had other vendors here as well (Premier, MK, Beauti Control, Weekenders, Stampin'up). Had very few folks come by - did $300 in sales.

BUT - The Mary Kay rep is my cousin and she brought her daughter who loves to cook and caters on the side.

Well..... she wanted everything in the catalog..... so she book a February show, took my new recruiting DVD, and said she was interested!!!!

Another girl that is 99% sure she will sign on after her house is built came by to look at all me things. Her show is set for the end of March - and I briefly told her we could make that her kick-off show.

Then I've got an ex-consultant that wants to rejoin - I will try to meet with her next week.....

So add that 3 to my current 2 and what does that add up too?

I've got 2 other stong leads I've got to call and get with this week too.

I can feel directorship in the air!!!!!!!!!!

If I weren't so tired, I'd be real excited!!
