Great post! You hit the nail on the head Chip. The only thing I would say is Don't Give Up! Give your advertising a chance to work for you. Most people don't just jump on with you and start working your business. People have to trust you. Stick with it. Follow up with everyone that signs up with you as soon as you see them in your business. With the tools GDI offers, and your personal help to new members, you can't loose.
