New to MS 2 months New to this board 1 week!

Hi there, I have enjoyed reading all the posts, and I haven't even gotten through half of them. I have to say I am impressed at how friendly and welcoming everyone is on here. It makes sense to share experiences and how tos rather than be gaurding of the wealth of knowledge you have on this board. Thank you.

I am from Michigan, central Michigan. I have not noticed many from Michigan in your posts so not sure how many of us there are in this state. I have been MSing since November 1st. I have done 40 shops already and kinda getting the swing of things. I am always very nervous the first time I do a new kind of shop but then I can calm down. Just not knowing what to expect and trying not to get caught.

I have owned my own business for the past 17 years, but my largest contract ended November 30th so I am looking for full time work, but enjoy doing shopping also so will probably continue with it. I feel like I just discovered something new and don't want to give it up.

Flash, thank you for the spreadsheet which is fantastic. Thank you to everyone else who has posted on here and I have been able glean information from.

Thank you for letting me become a part of this great forum. I'm over my shyness now, so watch out......

Cindy

Welcome to the Board!

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.
Welcome to the forum, Cindy! One of the things you will find is that whether you reinvigorate your old business or find full time work, there will always be room in your life for shops--you just get to be more selective about the ones that most benefit you.
Welcome, Cindy! I too am only 2 months into my MS career. I haven't racked up 40 shops yet; my regular job permits me only a day and a half each week to pursue other activities. But I've managed pretty wide variety of shops so far I think. What sort have you done?

Thank you for the welcome. @Dagosto, I so far have done banks, web inquiry for automobile, retail, fine dining, fast food, Travel Center, Tax audit, gas station, tire store audit, 1 merchandising and I know there were more. I have two Kroger next week and I know there has been a lot of talk about them these recent weeks. So far, I am really enjoying it. Quite nerve wracking to start out then I do alright.

I have to say I have learned so much just by reading here. I found this forum a month ago but just was reading everything I could. Someday maybe I will have an answer to someone else's questions, but for now I will continue reading and learning about what companies not to register with and what new ones are out there.
