In summary, the author is lazy and expects things to fall into their lap, and is considering quitting hosting coach because of it.

FYI:
Franklin Covey's site has a resource library of articles you can read and one had a downloadable quiz that would score your effectiveness... Seeing as how I have been moping about not having more than 3 (catty) shows this month~~ but yet still have not called anyone on my (daily) list... I can take a good guess at what my score would be...:eek:
*Calling myself out on being lazy and (somehow) expecting shows to fall into my lap* :eek:

We all do this occassionally I think. I've had family problems since conference that's really put me in an awful slump. I just sit around moping and don't do my calls the way I should. My show avg before conference was $700+ and lately it's hovering just under $500. AND I KNOW IT'S ALL MY FAULT!! I just don't want to Host Coach! I know it's my job, but I just don't want to do it. I've only been doing 2 calls instead of 3 or 4 and I've not mailed out any Nancy's Postcards.

Plus, DH hates when I spend an hour or more on the phone doing calls after dinner. I suspect he just wants to relax and not help with the kids, but guess what!! I'm going to start setting aside time in the evening to do my calls and if the DH doesn't like it he can kiss my batootie!!!
