Is anyone else experiencing less sales since the bombing on Afghanistan started or is it just me? Probably something completely unrelated lol.

It had the best week ever, in the short existence of my company.

That is not saying much. If you sold one account last week, and the next week two, you are up 100%.

It is a fact that the economy has slowed, so I am sure most host also feel this. However, I am sure there are some who may not -like Jaiem. I really wouldn't feel like you are the only one. A lot of other host won't freely admit a slow in growth.

Yes, there has been a slow down in the economy in general.

I don't think it cause the bombing started. It is residual of all the other stuff that has been going on.

Whenever the indicators drop like a rock, you won't really feel the effects for a few weeks, even months sometimes. We have been building up to this for about 1 1/2 years. The WTC incident just sped up the fall.

This is probably going to get much worse. Get ready.

October was a horrible month to us.

66% less sign ups than in the same period of September.
