What is encouragement: Definition and 44 Discussions

I have a bridal shower in a couple hours and I am so nervous, I can't hardly do anything. I have my bags all packed, catalogs ready, groceries have been purchased. Please somebody give me some words of encouragement!! I am afraid that I might go crazy before this starts.:eek:

Ok so I just started this month, I am off to a good start but now it is fading I have two catalog shows and two cooking shows booked, 3 june 1 july. But past that I can't get ANYONE to book a party. I have thought about giving more stuff away but I hate to use all my money before I can even...

Just now in my mail I received a notecard: On the outside: You are a Top Achiever! Preprinted on the inside: Congratulations on your accomplishment! Then a HAND WRITTEN note about my sales & show number in my first 30 days! There was even little star confetti that fell out of the card when I...

Ok...I have a show Thursday and I'm really not looking forward to it. I really love Pampered Chef, I do. But I hate to do shows during the week because they usually end up being far away from my home and I have to be away from my DS. I try to not schedule them, but then again....I feel I...

I was wondering if we are allowed to change directors or cluster teams, I have had a lot of issues with my director in the past and I do not feel comfortable with her. I have fallen out of selling pampered chef b/c of her. She is a huge put down and she discouraged me several times.....:( I...

I am really have trouble getting bookings. I had 5 for Nov. All but 2 have cancelled. I was hoping to get at least level one for the sell a thon, but that is not going to happen, and I am going to be short for getting Level 1 for the Golden treasures reward. How do you guys keep going when...

Hey ladies- I am having a tough week and needed to reach out to my virtual cluster for help! If you don't know I am almost 9 weeks pregnant and I feel like crap. I had shows set up for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th and two cancelled and one resceduled for January. That only leaves one show on the...

This morning I am just about ready to hang up my apron. I was working on a fundraiser and just found out the young lady closed her fundraising account. She wants PC to send a check to her personally - which cannot be done. I called to talk to her and she was rather cold. In a matter of a...

I started September out with 6 Cooking shows and 2 catalog shows. I'm now down to 3 Cooking Shows and 2 catalog shows. My own show tonight was a flop too! I collected 118.5 in orders today via email, but only had 1 person call to RSVP! I called everyone I could think of and nothing! The orders...

I know there are a million other posts like this, but I guess I'm going to be selfish and repetitive and come here asking for some encouragement. I don't want to give up my business, but I'm needing a little hug and some loving encouragement and gentle ideas to help me push through. My husband...

I am writing to vent or throw a pity party or whatever you choose to call it. I am really struggling lately with the sales at my shows. I have not been having very many bookings since October, but I have just chalked it up to being a holiday thing that people in my area aren't wanting to do...

Wasn't for sure how the roasting pan was earned? If someone who earned one could enlighten me, I'd sure appreciate it. :) Also, anyone new to PC that's having a SLOW start? I just finished my SSM1. It was a bummer. 3 KS and only one of them I submitted before Sept. was over. So now I have...

I wrote a little while ago to find out the pros and cons about being a PC consultant. Well I've decided to go ahead and try it. I figure there isn't much to lose if it doesn't go well or if it's something that I end up not enjoying. But with that said, I'm really trying to do the best I can...

So, I just signed up and it seems like my party list for my super starter months is growing. BUT, there are many people around me saying,"these first months are good...and then it's all down hill from there." :eek: :eek: :eek: I have been so excited! I just wonder now...is it true! So...
