Working on a few things

We did the Freedom Weekend Aloft event and I got 4 new recruits, which was awesome. Really exciting. We worked hard, it was a long day but so rewarding. It was nice to grow my downline some more.

We are now working towards Mauldinfest, as we heard the other week that we have been successful in our application to take part in that. I'm hoping to replicate the successes of FWA. There will be 8 of us working the 2 day event and I'm excited about what we may achieve.

I'm also working on doing a major fundraiser for local military members assigned to Iraq recently, and for their families, through our local Marine unit. That is something I have high hopes for, as no matter what our personal feelings about the war, I feel we need to support the troops and this is just an amazing way. Basically, we will be approaching local companies to ask permission to request their employees purchase a specific pack of items which will actually be given to the Marines to ship to the people overseas - toiletries like shower gel and deodorant, foot care products, etc - but my team and I are also going to forego our commission and donate that to the Marines also, to be used as needed for the support of those in Iraq or unexpected needs of family still here. So they win twice! But we still get award points for the amount of sales which means we'll make it to PC quicker, so we still reap a benefit from it too. Everybody wins.

We are going to see how it goes and then maybe approach other branches of the military and ask if they would give us permission to do it for them also.

I'm well on my way to achieving my goal of being Advanced Unit Leader by Christmas and I'm so excited. I've been trying to expand my customer base, and at the same time, still recruiting new reps. Seems I am making deliveries over a greater area now, love the tax breaks for milage! It all helps!

Well, got to dash - have a delivery this morning ... and later, hubby and I are having massages. Oh I love my life!
