I just wanted to share - Julie Ann Jones posted this to her blog today.
http://julieannejones.com/my-best-direct-sales-holiday-tips

I also wanted to add something to the bottom of her list of things you can do. Within the next week, whenever my husband can stay home all day with Abel, I plan on going to a mall and doing ____ by talking to people. I'd love some tips on what to do, how to approach people, what to bring. Etc. Also what time of day would be best to go to the mall on a Saturday or Sunday without it being overcrowded but not dead-still either.

The "_______" is there because I'm not exactly sure what I plan to accomplish. I'll have my catalog tote and somehow I hope to just get people talking and maybe get a few bookings.


(note: wasn't sure where to put this thread - thought it fit well with about 5 categories!)
 
Thanks, Shelby. Some really great information for keeping things in perspective and focused...
 
Thanks!!!!
