Business is growing by leaps and bounds for me Annie. I've got to listen to your show, that must have been spectacular having two of the greatest networking gurus on at once! I was just starting up a new venture last year. It takes a while to get anything started in an economy like this and on a low budget, but that's where the magic comes in! This year I'm running my first ever Earth Day Contest, check it out at www.planningsuccess.com/_shaklee/earthdayspecial2011.html
ReplyDeleteKeep up your fabulous work Annie, you are a real blessing for anyone looking for inspiration!
Bless your heart Carl! Thank you for taking a moment to share your valued feedback after listening in on the show! My humble apologies for getting back to you -- shamelessly late!
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm wondering... was the outcome to your first ever Earth Day Contest the success you imagined? Or even better?
How about... may we both keep on keeping on dear Carl (thank you good friend) and always a joyous blessing to reconnect with you!
