I'm so excited for my 1st 90 days! I've made 8th overall in the July Consultant News top consultants in their 1st 90 days. I knew I did well with over $13 K but I had no idea! I want to thank this website and many of you who I have gotten many ideas from, as well as, a fire lit under me to do well. You are all so inspiring! I can't wait for conference so I can bring my business to a new level. I hit $15 K this month and want to keep it going to earn so many more incentives. Thanks again to all of you!

I'm in Thomaston. It's near Waterbury and Torrington.
 
That is quite impressive. My 90 days ends on July 5th and I'm not even close! How did you do it?

I was very lucky to have many friends who like pampered chef as much as me. My shows were high b/c they had so many guests or outside orders. I'm almost out of my circle of family and friends. Not sure what will happen after that.
 
Congratulations!
