I've struggled with recruiting, but have really really shifted my focus as of late and been working on this area of my business.

I'd taken a few months off because I had a baby in December, so am just starting to get the ball rolling again this month, and guess what? I got a signed agreement last night and have another lead going to a show on Friday with my Director and she's sure he'll sign too!

I'm SOOOO excited!

:D

believe it or not both these leads were NOT from parties. One I met working in a supermarket cafe and the other was at a fair.

I had a wee boy on December 26th!
 
Congratulations on your wee little boy! Congratulations on your recruiting efforts!!!!!!!!!!
 
Oh, I'm totally feeling your excitement!!:D I have a potential who is coming to a new consultant training Tuesday night, and another hostess at the end of this month who is seriously considering signing. Every host coaching call to her we talk about it, so I am sooooooo hopeful.
I so want the cruise, and I KNOW that I can only get there thru recruiting.

Also, congratulations on your new bundle of joy!!
