WOW! Conference was ... AWESOME! Was there any doubt? Make sure you attend your regional kick-off, unit meeting, VIP sessions, or any other training opportunity so that you are able to take full advantage of ALL the incredible promotions that you will receive full details on in your July mailer!

The Friday Nite Fling was so much fun! It was such a blast to put screen names together with real names and faces - I enjoyed meeting and talking with all of you! Full details of the giveaways including the winners are posted on Fling Finale page!

The winner of the 20 Shows Up for August Challenge will be posted on the August What's New page after I return home Tuesday August 3. Congratulations to everyone who TRIED! Even if you didn't get all 20 shows up in time for the drawing, you most likely have a stronger calendar than you did before the challenge. Those who have already given me their challenge sheet filled out are listed on the Challenge Finale page.

Last What's New Update before Conference!

Posted here: Teddi's Final Conference Who's Who and Who's Where List!
Awesome job Teddi, and your team of volunteers who put this all together! Obviously, there are some of you out there asking - what list? I'm going to conference but I'm not listed??? If you didn't know about this it is too late now to be added - but I would suggest you check out the online resources page under Business Links - and join a candle list! You're missing out on a lot of sharing!

Don't worry if you're not on this list of conference attendees - it's just a convenience to help us find each other when we get there, and we can all meet Friday nite at the Fling anyway!

Everyone have a safe trip - and I'll see you in a couple of days! Belinda

Please and Thank You
New Best of Hank

Two more days to get everything done before we start that 20 hour drive to DC...what a week it has been! What a week we have to look forward to! Don't miss the Fling - The Suppliers from the Business Links pages have been more than generous with their prizes! If you are arriving on Tuesday, don't forget to run over to the Grand Hyatt to meet Hank and many of your online buddies. Bring your own Diet Coke, though, or things might get ugly LOL!

Make sure you print out and complete your BoB Bonanza Challenge for Friday Nite - 20 shows for August - how close are you? You know, if you're close, phones do exist in DC and 2+2 should be easier to do when you are inspired...

I will post a final version of Teddi's conference attendee list from the onelists as soon as the final copy comes down - probably Saturday or Sunday night.

Boy is my face red...I assured everyone on aol that the "Turn Your Business Around in 7 Days" page was here on the site somewhere...after I received a BUNCH of email pleading for direction since no one could find it today...I thought " I KNOW it's there..." and went looking...it was there...but still had "Coming Soon" on the top...:)

I had to go back to my files from pre-January (on the old site) to locate it (I told you I KNEW it was there LOL) - and it's HERE now! Here's a DIRECT link:

Turn Your Business Around in 7 Days

As we get closer and closer to Conference Week, please take a moment to reflect on our National Charity of Choice, in the United States, The American Cancer Society. We set a high goal this year of $500,000 - a half a million! We have come very very close to reaching that goal and will very likely exceed it by the end of Conference.

Survivors is one of Hank's finest contributions to Best of the Boards to date, and I hope you gain a little insight by reading it today.

On another note; a clarification to the BoB Bonanza Challenge!
The Book 20 Shows for August challenge will be open to ANYONE who wishes to participate, whether you will be at conference or not! If you are attending conference, just bring your completed challenge form to me at the Fling. If you are not attending conference, mail it to be received at my home in Missouri by August 2 (Monday). I will draw the winner of the BoB Bonanza Box from all completed forms on Tuesday August 3, and post the winner on What's New. Please include an SASE to send the challenge form on to your leader after the drawing! It is much appreciated by me! I have 8 shows up - 2 are starters - how are you doing on your challenge???

OK - this challenge is not for the faint of heart! Who is going with me next spring to ???? on the Year 2000 Incentive Trip? I really plan to earn it this year - and I want you all to decide to join me! Seasoned PL consultants know that August is the key to earning your first trip, then earning one for your significant other in January-February-March.

I posted to the lists yesterday that you could win fabulous prizes at the Friday night get-together (which I will now dub the Friday Nite Fling) in the Renaissance Lobby at conference next week....details to be posted HERE on What's New...Sunday Nite. Remember the hint...it would be a good idea to know your Business Links! You are going to be very excited to hear some of the prizes!

Now a personal challenge from me...get busy RIGHT NOW, THIS WEEKEND, and THIS WEEK...on the phone, at your shows, etc. Get 20 shows on your August calendar before the Friday Nite Fling. 

20???!!!! YES ---20!!!!

You will need to print out the BoB Bonanza Box Contest page, fill it out completely, and bring it to me at the Friday Nite Fling. All completely filled out pages will go into a special drawing for the Best of the Boards Bonanza Box! 

The contents of the box will be a surprise, but I guarantee you will LOVE it! Get busy...14 days and counting! Belinda

The search function is completely updated and working properly. The site index has also been updated, which is a good place to see at a glance all the What's New Topics, Games, Suppliers, etc. Thanks for your patience!

In my mailbox:

I have been a consultant for almost 1 year and here is an idea I'm trying to 
rush in the X-mas season. I keep a copy of all my guests and hostesses in a rolodex file, I typed up a letter inviting them to join my candle x-mas club, I sent out 50 invites so far and 22 people have joined!

7/5/99 Important FYI:

Some of the pages on Best of the Boards have been shifted around today, specifically the Best of Hank pages, the Business Links pages, and the old Guestbook pages. Sorry for the confusion - but it was a necessary maintenance task. Just use the navigation links under the page banners to go directly to the new locations. The search function will be updated within the next few days, as will the site index.

Some BoB trivia for you:

BoB has grown from 10 files in May 1998 to its present size of 459 files as of July 5, 1999!

In order to keep the site located on a "free" server, it was necessary to "rearrange" some of the file locations, therefore changing the hyperlinks, or URLs of individual pages. So if you have particular pages bookmarked and the bookmark is no longer working, just access the page from the links above, and reset your bookmark.

Are you ready for Conference???

Getting ready for Conference means more than just reserving your room, making travel arrangements, and packing your bags. Even more important is for you to book your August calendar NOW before you go to conference, so that you can return home and implement all that intense training right away!

Booking your August Calendar is not just a good thing to do - it's a requirement for you to justify your Conference Registration Expense! Think of it as a requirement from your boss (YOU) in exchange for your boss (YOU) footing your travel expenses and registration. Why would you waste that money and time by having nothing on your calendar to return to?

I had one show on my August Calendar last year when I went to conference. This year - I have 6 lined up already - and will probably have 10-12 by the time I get to Conference. I'd also remind you that with that 1 show on my calendar last year, I returned home after Conference, and promoted to Unit Leader November 1. I had sponsored NO ONE before Conference. You can do it too.

Now for the reality...as of July 1 our unit has nearly evaporated and one of my biggest disappointments is that I will miss the Leader Training at Conference this year. But you know, it's hard to be too disappointed...after all, I'll get to hear Dianne Baldridge in the Consultant session again!

I will tell you also that 2 of the 6 shows I already have for August are potential Starter Shows, and I plan to re-promote the Candle Net-Wick Unit by October 1, possibly September 1! I know we can do it, AND SO CAN YOU!

Don't forget the get-together planned for the Renaissance Lobby on Friday night of Conference after the Business Building Seminars. I hope to meet all of you there!
