Just finished watching the DVD... very interesting. Will have to spend more time later on looking at the breakdown...
 
Is it a shiny bubble envelope again this year? What color (so I can tell my newer Directors what to look for)?
 
Mine was a shiny red bubble envelope...

Mine was too. Oh. Em. Gee. I am soo excited about these trips... BUT... not too excited because they're all during the school year.
I am going to have to talk to my principal. Even if I did earn the upper level trip ( which I am once again not sure I want to work hard enough for- even though it's my dream trip..) the dates are the week before EOC's. Seeing as how my job depends on my kids' performance on the stupid test ( pretty much anyway,) not sure I could take off. ugh.
 
still haven't gotten mine :( Which means it won't be here until at least Monday.
 
Got mine today, I think I am going to wait to open it at least until Monday or maybe stick it under the tree to look at tomorrow!

Oh Well, We'll have to wait till Tuesday!! :cry:
 
I'm in the group having to wait until Tue too :yuck:
 
So, it comes via regular mail? Then I'm hoping for tomorrow! Impatient!! ;)
 
ok I'm dying to know....hopefully it comes today :)
 
Got mine today! Wow - love the CHOICES!
 
Got mine today! I'd be happy with any of them. But, I like the Upper Level Trip the most....guess I'm gonna have to get busy and shift it into gear in order to earn that one!
 
I'VE GOT IT!!!! :happyforyou::clap::clap::clap:
 
"I agree. I've been thinking about 2012 going forward and I'm going to focus 100% with my team on TOT. They are all eligible. I am going to create a TOT Team. I'm also going to break it down and stay on track for it MYSELF even though I'm not eligible. I'm going to work it with them."

Now I am just the opposite. I am so incredibly discouraged about not earning the trip this year because two people just flat refused to do ANYTHING after they signed on....and others diddle farted around so went inactive before they finally qualified...so discouraged about them NOT coming to meetings....that I have taken a different approach. It's elite seller status for me this year, and I will hold bi monthly skype trainings and bi monthly trainings on the other months that will be very specific: bookings, recruiting, theme shows, Bridal showers, etc. I sent them letters telling them that instead of meetings I would meet them on one one on their schedule--lunch breaks, before work, after work, during the day, during the evenings, on weekends, as long as it worked into my schedule. Those that want to work their business I will work with them. No more recognition unless they earn it, no more rah rah sessions once a month that they don't attend anyway. If they want to work their business I will not only work with them I will go out of the way to work with them. If they don't, well.....I'm going on with my business they are welcome to come along. Monthly trainings will be that--trainings, on Skype and in person...no more. Bumping up my personal show schedule and they can tag along to shows with me if they really want to learn. No more whining on my part or theirs. Done.

So if they want a trip, cool, let's break it down and earn it. If not, ok. Have fun with your one measly show every other month.
 
Mine was NOT in the mail today. Ho Hum! LOL
 
didn't get mine either... I was so excited thinking it would be here today!
 
Mine came today! Yay! Can't wait to share with my team. I think they'll be excited!
 
still NO ENVELOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
 
You should call HO if you have not received it yet. I am in Oregon which is much farther than NY state from Chicago and I received mine last week.
 
Mine didn't arrive today either. My NED posted it on our Director's loop, so I ended up with a spoiler. I was really hoping to watch the video first. Oh well. LOL

Anne - I agree with calling HO. I'm in Rochester, NY and mine came Saturday.
 
I just called HO & they really don't have any answers of why I didn't get mine but they are forwarding me an email w/a link.....
 
ok so an UPDATE they won't send me the link until Jan. 3rd b/c that's the deadline for the packages to be delivered..............this is KILLING ME......:cry: :bugeye: :yuck:
 
Got mine yesterday. Video was disappointing to me.. lacked the "splash" of some of the prior years. Also, I am in need of some further explaination.. need to sit down and read through everything to understand how some of the things are going to work
 
Anne, I live it the "boondocks" of upstate NY and I did receive mine yesterday as well. Let me know if I can help.
