I dont know if this is the right thread for this- but I will risk it. I am debating ever so many things right now. My DH gave me the go ahead to push PC from a casual thing to a real business rather than having to go out and get a "real job" but I am in kind of a bad place. I have an 11 month old, and am dealing with PPD. But we really really need the money. Things are super tight. I have only three shows on the books, but lots of leads. I am having trouble catching people at home, but that cant last forever right?
SO... I am debating about the fall product samples. I really like this release. If my finances were less stressed I would just buy it. I was thinking to hold a party at my house with all the new goodies as my birthday party on September 13th (or maybe the 14th, since I think I have a band rehearsal on the 13th). But I am so stressed about the money. It will be over $300. Its worth it- that is not my trouble. Do I buy it, and use the fear that I really cant afford it to propel me to the phone to get those shows on the books? Will it put the excitement into me that I can show it and that excitement will help with shows? Or will the money stress paralyse me and just make me a walking D for desperate for more shows? If I could control my fear, my ideal goal would be to plug 25 shows into September and October, and to recruit enough of my lead list with the new promotion to get a 7pc Exec set. I really think I CAN do that... if I could just get moving.
Give me your votes. What would you do? Buy the new products and force myself to get the shows booked- maybe make a chart to track it? Or skip on the new stuff this season?
Opinions please! Thanks!
