What is week: Definition and 141 Discussions

Okay so yesterday I booked 1 fundraiser for March 5th, got a booking for February (confirming date today) and set up a meeting with the regional director of the Boy's & Girls Club for next Tuesday to talk about a fundraiser. Then to top it off, when I woke up this morning I had a voicemail on...

I pushed myself to my absolute limit this week and am proud and thrilled to say that I didn't collapse, didn't burn down anyone's kitchens, didn't botch recipes, break anything, etc...I SURVIVED doing 4 shows in one weekend! I have never done that before. I did a show Friday night, two on...

Ok, here's one... What do you do if you have a "show" from someone that wanted the 12" skillet... now that person decides they don't want it (It's been 2 weeks)- will I lose credit for my show as far as incentives, monthly bonus, comission, etc?!?!

A friend of mine cooks a week of dinners all in the same day then freezes them. Each day, she picks one dish to re-heat and serve her family. I LOVE this idea, but when I asked her, almost all of the dishes she makes have pasta in them. We usually eat only one pasta dish a week (spaghetti...

I am just a little excited and wanted to share. I signed a new consultant Tuesday (she already has her kit!!!). I got a call on Wednesday from someone who had been at a recent show and she said she wanted to sign up!! She submitted her contract last night and will hopefully get her kit soon...

My MIL passed away Sunday night and I've dealt with it all week as far as having to clean the house (we just moved here and are still living amongst boxes), to cooking and baking to traveling 250 one way for the burial. One lady brought over a bundt cake and some paper plates, and another...

I had a show last week with two recruit leads. Well, the the one ( the hostess) is signing up tomorrow :) and we had planned to let the other one ( who was VERY interested) to sign up under her. Well, found out today that the other lady is not going to sign up under the hostess. She feels...

I need help. I had a bridal shower scheduled for the end of September and I just got a call from the hostess that the bride to be needs to move the date up to August 20th. I have nothing planned and I don't even know where to begin. What kind of invitations do you send out. What is the basic...

I just started a 10 week extreme body fitness challenge. My biggest struggle is coming up with recipes that are healthy but will still satisfy DH! I can eat all the healthy food I can get my hands on, DH is a little pickier. The main goals of their diet is 6 protiens a day and 5 carbs a day...

I have 2 opportunities the last week in May, vastly different opportunites, and I've never done anything like either of them before.First - My bank does a "business of the week" featured Table in their entry way. I inquired into this last Fall, and discovered it's very popular - the first time...

I'm curious...anyone have an opinion on the optimal day of the week to send out a newsletter for best responses? Thanks ~ Marey in Michigan:chef:

Did a bridal shower 2 weeks ago. Grandma put three small orders on her debit card for about $100 total. Card didn't go through, it was of course a MC. Called HO to ask them to run it manually, had to leave a message on Friday because they weren't accepting calls. Left a message. Customer gave...

Hello everyone I'm in need of some help and ideas. Next Saturday is the Spring Fest in our hometown, and my recruiter and I are going to have a booth. She won't be able to be there until later in the afternoon, so I'll be by myself the entire morning. I'm a little nervous because I'm fairly...

Hi- I was one of the lucky 54 people who dialed in to Lyn Conway's call this morning. The subject was on how to maximize the week between Christmas and New Years for CCC, bookings, and recruiting. It was very good. I am posting my notes for anyone who is interested. If you were in on the...

I've closed 5 parties in the past week, and most of them have shipped and are arriving. Since these were my first shows, I'm screwing up left and right, but not all of its my fault. I've had to make 2 adjustments on one show today, I've had my first credit card declined, and I still have 2 shows...

Cameron from my church started her first chemo treatments last week. Her is an update on how her procedures will go for the next 4 months. Please continue to keep this family in your prayers. Cameron still feels fine today was her 3rd chemo treatment. When my grandmother had to go through...

As a Lieutenant on my local Fire Department, I cannot let Fire Prevention Week go by without a PSA for my fellow cheffers. As we approach the winter heating season, please be sure to be wise with your house. Be sure to clean out your chimney before you burn for the first time this season...

Is anyone out there watching it this season??? I am so glad it is on tonight and that Gillian got voted out last week - she was something else. Boy if that one team does not kick it in the butt they will be switching teams up again and that is really early in the game to be doing that! Guess...

I've missed many of you during this last week. I "gave up" Chef Success for an entire week. I have to tell you the first day (last Monday) was super hard, but it got easier. I needed to step up my business and on Saturday I had a $1300 show with FIVE bookings (some catalog and some...

So, Monday morning at 2 am my family will be leaving for Puerto Vallarta. It is my plan to spend my between church time tomorrow finishing the packing and cleaning my house. So, I won't be checking in to hear all the good stuff from conference...unless I just can't stand it. So, what I have...
