I held my friend hostage and made her host a cooking show (what are friends for, right?). She complained her apartment was too small, so I solved that by letting her host it at my house. That ended up being really nice because then the guests were able to look at ALL of my PC stuff and play with it.

There were 5 guests and they were all my age (21-23), except for the hosts mom. So it was a really really casual night & I wasnt expecting big sales. But I sort of took the "new cook" approach and told them all my experience with learning to cook and learning what products were actually used for.

Every girl spent over $100.

At the end of the night I was over $700 in sales (some outside orders included) & there are still outside orders coming in.

Two of the girls booked parties.

And one girl stayed late with me to learn about becoming a consultant!!! We are meeting tomorrow for coffee to go over everything that I gave her! I already have 1 recruit. If I get this new girl to sign & qualify - ill be a future director before my 90 days!!

I was so excited I called my mom, I called my director, I called my boyfriend. I ran into my office this morning telling everyone! & now im sooooo excited to share with you!!!

yaaaay!
