So, yeah. Things the past two weeks have not been fun, and I have discovered an entirely new set of muscles in my back that I did not know that I owned! Of the four shows I had, I did one, dovetailed two, and had a hostess totally disappear on me. Not a cancellation, but flake out and not even acknowledge my repeated calls as her party date drew near. This was particularly disappointing as she had been super excited when I did her calls right up until the week of the party - when she simply stopped answering. Sigh! I purposely had NOT packed my jewelry and supplies on the moving truck in anticipation of her show, ow it was all going in my overpacked vehicle for a weeks trip out west!
During this two week period I did not have any contact with my new hostesses in my New Hometown, BUT I did manage to snag a new recruit! I had changed my address within the system a week before I left because they were mailing out conference registration and I wanted it to go to my new mailing address. Imagine my surprise when I received a call expressing interest in the business from my new state! We will meet the Sunday after I get there to plan her starter show; this adds to my busy schedule, but I am excited to hit the ground running (literally!)
Have things gone perfectly? No, far from it. I messed up an order (ordered earrings instead of a necklace), lost a show and had one dovetail go awry. I did manage to get on the web class (attendance was poor though, and I blame myself for not doing more to get people on) and my big meeting--well, let's hope I can pull that off! In the end, I know I have done what I could, and have managed to give my business at least a small portion of my time every day. Sometimes that's all it takes - a little consistency and the knowledge that it has to have some priority. Here's hoping it will still have some attention as I make my four day drive!
