I have this thing in the back of my head doing this to me:
• You don't plan on being a consultant past the end of the year
• You haven't made enough money to pay for the whole trip, and the rest will be a burden financially.
• You will miss out on seeing family.
While going will let me meet lots of people, get first look at lots of new products and learn new things, I don't think it's viable if I don't plan on being in the business for the long term. (Actually I should have gone last year.)
My parents live half a country away. (They are in PA, I am in AR) If I don't use this time to see them, I won't be able to until NEXT year. They won't be coming to my area of the country for Thanksgiving or Christmas because they can't afford it (and we can't travel then). I have the opportunity to also see other cousins and uncles that same week, and it should be extremely fun.
I think what I am feeling right now is the guilt of telling my director. Because six weeks ago when I registered I was totally enthused, and now I want to do other things with family and friends and not constantly chasing after hosts, past hosts and other people to generate business that I am really only a hobbyist.
How should I approach this in telling my director? We are friends (not CLOSE friends, but friends nonetheless) and I still want to sell and attend meetings, but I just can't afford to spend $300-$400 from my husband and my tight budget to pay for a trip that won't benefit me for a while.
