I have had quite a few members of my upline leave the business over the last few years, and now I am 1st line direct to my ED, who lives in Michigan (I'm in PA, near Philly). I haven't attended an official meeting in about 2 years, and felt the need to connect with others about the business. I was trying to host my own meetings, but with my FT job, kids, etc, and then some health issues with my family, I just had to stop. Plus, I don't know how effective I was, since I never had a "good" example of a meeting from my previous director (another thread for another time!!).

I asked my ED to see if she could get me and my one recruit in the area a hospitality director so we could attend meetings regularly and keep our businesses going. She contacted me on Tue, saying that the meeting was that night! I'm so glad we went - she was FANTASTIC!! It was a perfect match for me and my recruit, and is exactly what we needed to get our businesses back on track. I'm so excited and so thrilled that PC has a hospitality program - I was told that no other DS company has one like ours. We are definitely working with the right company!!

So, if you are not attending meetings b/c your director doesn't live close to you, ASK FOR HOSPITALITY! I don't know why I waited so long, but I'm glad I finally did it. YAY!! :balloon:
 
That's awesome Cathy! Congrats!
 
Good job Cathy, happy for you! :)
 
Congratulations!! :D
 
My ED is in Michigan also. Mine is Karan Radcliffe. Who is yours?
 
Cathy,

I may be somewhat local to you and I am considering a HD as my Director is 2 hours away from me. I don't mind the drive, it just makes for a really late night not getting home until after 11 plus the commute across the NJ bridges can be a bear around 5pm as you know.

I am in 'north' Delaware between Newark and Hockessin. Where is your HD located?

Thanks,

Ashley
