I was just answering this for one of my recruits today. She had a hostess ask her this question. The obvious answer is everyone you know. You invite people you don’t even think will come. Those are the ones that surprise you the most and usually spent the most too!

Statistically, when you invite 30 people, 7 – 12 will attend. Remember to over invite. You will want to invite people from a variety of sources:

· Relatives/Friends
· Church
· Friends at work
· Local businesses
· Neighbors
· Organizations/Clubs
· School/College
· Sports/Hobbies
· Who do you know who loves jewelry?
· Who do you know through your spouse and children?

Remember . . .ask each guest to bring a friend!!! Also, plan to call all of your guests 2 –3 days before your show as a reminder and to get them excited about attending. If you call, they will come!!

By following the above tips you can look forward to increased sales and bookings, which will bring greater Hostess rewards to you!

Lately, I have heard quite a bit regarding The Secret.

I originally saw this on my two favorite talk shows: Oprah and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It is something that made me quite interested. It also helps to have their names attached to this. It made it much more credible. With my lia sophia business, I am in the market for advice to how to get more bookings and get more sales at my shows. Bookings especially seem to be an area that I find that I struggle in. I think at times that I am too nice and laid back. The main central philosophy that The Secret is based on is “The Law of Attraction”. In essence, what this means is that if you surround yourself with success minded people, you also will be successful. I try to do this. I attend our monthly meeting with other success minded advisers. My manager made over $200,000 with lia sophia last year, so you do not get more success minded than that!

What impressed me most about their site is the pros & cons list. Where else would you find a list telling you why you may not want to buy into their product? Like I said before, I would love to see this movie and apply it towards my lia sophia business. If you too are interested, visit the Official Site: The Secret Science of Getting Rich. I do not think you will be disappointed.

I posted before about the Allan Lee essay and how he facing criminal charges for doing an assignment for school. Kat found his essay, so I wanted to reprint it so you could make your own opinions:

Blood sex and Booze. Drugs Drugs Drugs are fun. Stab, Stab, Stab, S…t…a…b…, poke. “So I had this dream last night where I went into a building, pulled out two P90s and started shooting everyone…, then had sex with the dead bodies. Will, not really, but it would be funny if I did.” Umm, yeah, what to wright about…… I’m leaving to join the Marines and I really don’t give a F*** about my academics, so why does the only class that’s complete Bull S***, happen to be the only required class…enough said. The model citizen would stay around to vote in new board member to change the 4 years of English policy, but no one really stays around to vote for that kind of local crap, so whoever gets there name on the Ballet with a pretty face gets to do what the F*** ever they want with local ordinance. A person is smart, but people are dumb selfish animals. We can’t make rules for ourselves so we vote others to do it for us, but we can’t even do that right, I meen seriously, Bush for President? And our other option was John Kerry who claimed to partake in Vietnam Special Forces missions that haven’t been declassified….F***ing Bull S***. So Power Flower Super Mario. Pudge, hook, rot, dismember “Fresh Meat.” Most new/young teachers are laid back, and cooperative with students as feedback and input into the curriculum and atmosphere. My current English teacher is a control freak intent on setting a gap between herself and her students like a 63 year old white male fortune 500 company CEO, and a illegal immigrant. If CG was a private catholic school I could understand, but wtf is her problem. And baking brownies and rice crispies does not make up for it, way to try and justify yourself as a good teacher while underhandidly looking for complements on your cooking. No quarrel on you qualifications as a writer, but as a teacher, don’t be surprised on inspiring the first cg shooting.

So what do you think? My personal opinion is that the charges are crap. This is a very slippery slope that we traveling down.

I saw this over on Skeet’s blog and I couldn’t resist.

You Are a Ham Sandwich

You are quiet, understated, and a great comfort to all of your friends. Over time, you have proven yourself as loyal and steadfast. And you are by no means boring. You do well in any situation - from fancy to laid back. Your best friend: The Turkey Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I often get asked what I think about distance learning, since that is how I was able to get my Bachelor of Arts degree. I think it is great. It allows people like me to be both a productive member of society and finish our schooling. I was able to take classes on the weekends and online classes. I also took classes that were strictly out of the book and then had a proctor give me the tests. During the week, I was able to work, so I could afford to take the classes I did. I ended up with a Bachelors Of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Business Administration. For me, this worked. I definitely suggest trying it if you want to continue your education.
