Have you heard the news? Bigger is better.
Shelf Reliance is offers a variety of THRIVE foods in many shapes and sizes. Each size fits a different need I (you) have.
Mylar Bags-- just the right size to stash in my purse or diaper bag. Perfect for on the go snacking.
Pantry Cans-- perfect for storing in the kitchen pantry. Pantry cans are approximately the same size as a small coffee can and hold about 2 1/2 cups of product.
#10 cans-- or gallon size. The #10 can contain plenty of servings of healthy THRIVE food that you can use daily to whip up a variety of tasty homemade meals.
But what about the things I really need a lot of? Can I buy it in an even bigger size? Yes (very soon).
I'm so excited about these bigger sizes. For those of us with hungry boys living at home this is the perfect solution.
I don't have any specifics yet. But I'll keep you posted.

Business Training: Rank Advancement
Recently I got asked an interesting question. It was left as a comment on the post I have on my blog on the post How Much Shelf Reliance Consultants Make? Here is what the comment said:
…What made the difference in advancing at each level? What do you do differently at a Silver Executive that you didn't do as a consultant or mentor?
I have been thinking a lot about it. I think the question comes in two parts so I’ll answer them separately.
1. What has made the difference in advancing at each rank?
Consultant to Mentor: for me the key to this rank advancement was signing up my first consultant. It is not necessary to have any consults under you in order to advance in fact I would like to encourage you to try to hit mentor in your first month of parties (the first month you are actively doing parties for the entire month). To hit mentor by yourself you need $3,000 in sales. That is about average 4 parties, I find that consultants who start big have awesome parties. If that is your plan don’t wait for parties to come to you find 4-6 parties or how every many you want to do and get them scheduled.
Mentor to Director: for me the key to this rank advancement was attending Shelf Reliance Convention. I attended convention just after I hit the rank of mentor. It was a HUGE help. But you are thinking “I am a mentor now and convention isn’t tell next spring” You can still access I know you are thinking the next convention is not until next spring. I don’t want to wait that long. Well you don’t have to, the power points and notes are available online (consultant materials → training→ Convention Presentations). Or you can purchase a DVD of all of the classes. The Home Party Convention DVD ID number is 71113 and the party price is $3.70. If you didn’t attend convention it is $3.70 well spent.
Director to Executive: For me the key to this advancement was focusing on Q Customers. When I was a director I finally started to understand how important Q customers are. They are, to quote Sariah, “like gold.” As a Director I think it is a good time to reevaluate your party presentation and make sure you are emphasizing the Q. I really like the white board presentation. If you are not using it maybe you should learn it and give it a try.
Executive to Silver Executive: For me the key to this rank advancement was training my team. I have been serious about offering training for my team since my first consultant signed up. I have found that if you want to hit the higher ranks you need to offer consistent training to your team. I did not start training my team as an executive but I did start really reaping the benefits of it.
2. What do you do differently as a Silver Executive that I did not do as a consultant or a mentor?
1. A shorter party presentation (about 20 minutes)
2. Prep hosts better
3. I’m more organized
4. I’m more creative and willing to take risks
5. I am better educated about the home party program and Shelf Reliance Products
6. I train my team better
7. I ask for training from my up-line
8. I have a plan and I stick to it
9. I know where I want to go with this business and I know how I’m going to get there.
10. I’m more careful with my time. I try to work on the thing that will benefit my business the most. (not the things that is the most fun, or the most rewarding)
Product Training: Emergency Products that I love
Product Training: Emergency Products:
There are a couple of emergency products that I really love, I love to use them and I love to show them at parties because they are inexpensive and sell well.

This is a great product to talk about when you have a party guest who says “I am totally prepared I don’t need anything else” |
Pizza Waffles
The idea is simple. Make pizza, but instead of cooking it in the oven cook it in the waffle iron. We tried it and we love it.
Tips for success:
1. Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray before each pizza
2. This is a messy project. Some of the toppings and dough are going to leak out. Place your waffle iron on a cookies sheet to contain the mess.
3. When rolling out the pizza dough you want it to be the same height as the waffle iron and twice as wide. You are going to fold the dough over the top to create a pizza pocket.
4. Be sparing with the sauce. If you add too much sauce then it leaks through the pizza dough and burns on the waffle iron.
For this recipe you will need Pizza crust, pizza sauce, and toppings.
Pizza Crust:
1 1/4 cup hot water
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
- Pour hot water in mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, oil. Stir to combine
- Gradually add flour. Mix well. Knead in mixer for 5 minutes. The dough should be firm not tacky and soft to the touch. Let dough rest in bowl for about 5 minutes.
Pizza Sauce
I really like this recipe for pizza sauce. It is from www.howdoicookwith.com and uses tomato powder. The recipe is easy to make and tasty.

To Assemble:
1. Divide Pizza dough into 5 balls. Roll each ball into an oval. The dough need to be the same height as the surface of the waffle iron and twice as wide.
2. Place the pizza crust on the waffle iron.
3. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings. (We especially love the freeze dried sausage)
4. Fold the extra dough over the top to form a pocket. Close the waffle iron and cook until crust is set (this depends on your waffle iron mine took about 4 minutes)
5. Enjoy! We loved these dipped in extra sauce or in ranch.
