Or maybe Greg can just start a new forum!! :eek: NO GREG I WAS JUST JOKING!!! I'm already not getting anything done with 3 forums to jump between!



LOL.........absolutely NOT. I don't think I could handle another one!!!

What sites to you go to for your gossip fix?
 
I go to www.people.com and read the news from the day and look at the pictures.
 
I got to .........drum roll please...... TMZ.com, Perezhilton.com, and Dlisted.com. Hello, my name is smashie, I am a gossip addict.

I usually just click whatever link AOL has attached to their news items. (I use the term "news" loosely!!) Usually it takes me to TMZ or People.
 
Ever since Justin Timberlake left her for 'allegedly' cheating, she has spiraled downward.
Now, though, I think that having 2 babies in 2 years has affected her hormone levels and she has post-partum depression. It explains so much about her: erratic behavior and inability to make good decisions.
The media hype surrounding her parenting skills irritates me, though...they act as if she is the only parent in Hollywood who has made poor parenting choices...
 
Does anyone remember the dates that a new Director can get the travel voucher for promoting between?? I can't find it in the new CN or in my notes from Leadership...TIA!

Travel voucher? Do you mean the free New Director Academy? Anyone who promoted to Director on or after January 1st 2007 can go to New Director Academy free this year. I don't remember a travel voucher. They said they would provide transportation to and from the airport.
 
Even if there is no travel voucher, New Director Academy is SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!! GO GO GOG GO GOGOGO if you are eligible!!!! I'm so bummed I can't go again.
 
I'm so going!! I can't wait!!

The dates this year are...

March 14-15
May 16-17
August 22-23
September 26-27
October 24-25

Myself and my upline, sideline and downline Directors are all going in May. We all promoted within the timeframe for the free NDA!!
 
hmmmm...I swear I remember them announcing the fact that all is free, youjust have to get to Chicago...that was followed by the announcement of if you promote between _____ & ________, the will give a $250 travel voucher as well!
 
That does sound vaguely familiar now that you say it that way! I guess I was so excited about getting to go for free I totally forgot about that part. I think it was Feb 1st-?? (maybe Nov 1st) I really don't remember, but I'm guessing that it wasn't January 1st because then my new Director would have gotten it and I would have remembered that.
 
Wonder what time the everything gets started on day 1 and when we are finished on day 2? I am just trying to shop for flights and am not sure how many days I will need to stay. Any thoughts?
 
There should be a sample schedule behind CC. I remember starting after lunch on the first day. Can't remember when we ended the 2nd day. It was early enough to make a 6 hour drive home and be in bed before midnight. :)
 
I think the $250 in travel expenses had something to do with maintaining the $1250 in personal sales, 5 active personally recruited consultants and $4000 in cluster sales for the three months after the training (or maybe before???), then they get the $250 gift card or something?? I forget too.

Something else I keep forgetting (I should probably start another thread), but does a new consultant need to qualify in their first 30 days in order to get the free website subscription for 90 days?? Or do they just have to qualify in the first 90 days? I can't seem to remember where this info is. And is this forever???

Where is the information on this though, and the dates/locations please? I only see last year's dates, and have searched CC. I promoted May 1st and really hope to be able to get to this. I'm in CT, nothing close. :(

My upline was waiting for someone else to promote to do a group training. But now that isn't happening soon. So I wait and see if I get training. I'm mostly a sef learner too. But a little guidence would be nice.

I would just be direct and tell her you'd like to be trained now - that is what you'd like to work on for 2008.

Yes, they are all in Chicago from now on. They say that getting a tour of Home Office makes a big impact on consultants/Directors.
 
Anyone know if you have already been if you can go again? I went to Harrisburg PA in October, and would love to go again to Home Office. It was an awesome training. Maybe I should just send an e-mail to find out :)
 
NO, if you went before you cannot go again. I was sitting behind Doreen Grass when this was announced at Leadership and confirmed with her this is for FIRST TIME attendees only.
 
That's what Director Training Day is for.
 
Quick post to say registration for New Director Academy is already open! (Also put this in the shout box; posting here in case it gets overlooked) :)
 
For Future Directors that promote to Director Feb 1-Oct 1, 2008 and in their first three months after promoting have at least $1250 in personal sales and have at least five active 1st line recruits and have at least $4000 in cluster sales. Then they will get a $250 travel voucher to New Director Academy.

It is on page 14 of the FEb. consultant news.
