Ok, I know most of my posts tend to have a negative tone to them. I don't mean to but I have to work on that. I decided since I am always a downer, I should share my recent good news. I had it rough in the beginning of this business. This board has helped me out so much. I guess I owe alot of this to all of you because without you all, I probaly would have given up a few months ago.

I was at my meeting on Tuesday and got a big shocker. I was the star of the meeting.
I had $4467 in sales for the month, made my HWC goal (the only one in my cluster), beat my director in sales 2 months in a row and I am number 1 in the company for sales and shows for my 30 day. My name is even on CC. I was so excited. Goes to show good things happen if you really just keep at it and try hard. This past month is going to be a tough one to beat, but I am going to try my best!

Disclaimer- my 30 day was extended due to getting a spanish kit. But even with taking out my extension, I would still have been number one in sales and shows. My director pointed that out at the meeting.
 
That's great Becky! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone.
sk8rgrrl99- my best advice is to stay positive and work hard. It does pay
 
I agree Becky. A positive attitude and hard work is the key to ANY job. Anyone who tells you that you can do any DS business without a smile and some hard work is just trying to sell you SOMETHING! Good job pushing forward! You'll reap some great rewards in this business (and have a fabulous kitchen!)
 
way to go :) :) :)
 
Congratulations, Becky!!
 
Wowza Becky! Out of curiousity, what helped you the most? (Both in terms of sticking with it and generating bookings/sales?)

leggy
 
Congratulations, Becky :)
 
Woo Hoo!! Way to go Becky!!
 
Wow very impressive, great job!
