It's in August. :D



Actually, I don't celebrate my birthday. I don't think it's appropriate to celebrate something I'm not joyful about and am stuck with.

LOL I will be spending my birthday in kidnegarten with my son on his first step up day of school! Here's one even better... I WAS IN LABOR ON MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!

No, I'm upset because I lived past 15. I'm just too much of a wimp to actually DO anything about it, and then there's the whole "how do you explain THAT to the kids in the family?" aspect.
 
okay ladies.... almost time for me to leave work. Off to get the kids, change, and meet up with my potential recruits. Wish me luck! Since I don't allow myself on the threads at home I won't be able to update until Monday. (hopefully I can catch up on all your posts!) Have a wonderful weekend!
 
actually if you really miss me you can email me! LOL I am allowed to check that. heehee

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train - Organization is truly the key to me being able build the business big or at lest Director - It has always been a weakness of mine.

Everyone always thinks that Virgos are so organized - I am a closet perfectionist which actually causes me lots of problems because I just won't try thing if I can't do them as good as I would like.

I am a Virgo too, and just like you Kathy!! A perfect example is that I can't scapbook even though I would love to. I can't get past the planning, and I'm completely afraid that I won't do it "right"!

(My bday was yesterday, the 23rd.)

it took some time to get used to but i like it better

sarah there is a word doc on here somewhere about getting your office organized in a day. i think its in the organization thread. well at the end of that document there is something about organizing that so you know what you did and when, it talks about how to put it into your calendar and putting checks, stars etc by their name in your calendar and then when your all done you just put a check mark over their whole info. you do this in the day to day tast sheet, not the monthly view of you calendar ... if you cant find it, i'll look and let you know.

Thanks, I actually printed that out and it's here somewhere on my desk!:eek: Well, the boys are due for their naps now, so I will find it and read it while they are sleeping. I definitely don't have a whole day, but everything can be broken down in to bits, right??
 
yes sarah, i'm not doing the whole binder thing, but i really liked the end where she talks about her shows in her calendar ... luck you .. a nap .. my daughter must thing its against her religion or something! LOL

I think I may end up doing most of my org online but I need a place for everything and transfer everything over - Contacts and such we will see
 
Well, not as much progress this week as I'd like. I did book another Sept show last night. I sent out an email this morning about a booking blast I"m doing thru Tues. I also left really upbeat & excited messages to my top 2 recruit potentials. (crossing my fingers that they'll call back soon!)

What is everyone's goal for the weekend - I am still on an organization blitz and still working on packets and bookings in the mean time - Last S/S show tonight!
 
Thanks for the organization in a day, that is my plan for Monday.Okay today get rid as much junk at yard sale & get ready for farmers market tomorrow. In between down time mail out invites for my fall customer appreciation show!!!Stamping my catalogs tomorrow during Farmers Market. Sometimes it's slow I might as well be productive.Again thank you for this thread, it helps to write these things out. I need to sell a dishwasher and a saddle and I will be extremely happy.
 
Sarah, Just curious where you are located in Northern Cali. I am in Redwood Valley just north of Ukiah. It's cool to meet people on here who are close to you but not in your cluster.
 
I dont really have alot planned for this weekend, its always hard to get things done with my husband home. But I am going to TRY to get some catalogs into a folder with sheet protectors on each page. Also see if I can come up with a list of what to talk about with a recruit at an interview on Friday. Oh and stamp the rest of my catalogs and send out invitations for a show on the 8th! I so wish I had money to send these host packets out! I'm dying just holding on to them!
 
We're on a mission. Cleaning & purging in the Kitchen. We got more organizers for the drawers for our tools. We're going through the cabinets and trying to organize everything. ooking for better ways to store our PC products. We really are getting quite alot.
We have 2 parties to close out they should both be pretty good...the one is shooting for $700 the other for $500. We booked 2 more parties for October at the show we had the other night. We're up to 8 bookings for October but only 5 for eptember. I had hoped we would do better in September but it doesn't seem to be happening. We'll keep plugging. We have 4 leads that we're working with and hope we can get them to commit soon. If we do then we're only one away from director. Everyone keep focused and we'll all get there! Have a great weekend.

I'm in Petaluma, about a half an hour south of Santa Rosa. It is neat to meet people that are close to you!
 
I was just there last week, I had surgery on my mouth. (I call it surgery, the dentist may not. He was an oral surgon)What was really funny when we went to Dallas for Leadership this year, we were in line next to 2 ladies from Petaluma. Small world!
 
I wonder if one of them was sarah amanda :)
 
Laurie, it could have been Sarah I don't remember!!!!Sarah were you at leadership this year?????
