Sorry I feel like I'm complaining but I need to get this out! My director is hardly there for us any more and no one in my family understands so I figured I would just bounce things off some fellow consultants.
Since January I've felt so unmotivated. I've had crappy hosts who have put little or no effort into their shows (okay they aren't all like that). Including the one who made me change my business because I'm sick of hosts walking all over me. I've barely kept up with my calls. I usually don't do 3 calls a day because most of the time I don't have the time to do them and my business has been great so far. But since the beginning of February things have been worse. I haven't had as much engery to do shows or host coaching either. I've been doing them but after I get done I'm so drained I don't have the energy to do much else. Getting off work, driving 35 minutes home, cleaning, cooking dinner, taking care of DH and trying to run a business is catching up with me! I have so many calls to make but I just don't have the motivation to do them. Alot of them are people who were interested from a booth I did last summer but all I ever get is a lot of answering machines and run around. I'm sick of trying to call all these people.
I did my one show for March yesterday and I don't have anything booked until April and I'm not really that sad about it. I almost feel like I need a break. I do have 1-2 shows lined up for April and 4 for May. I also have a couple people interested in bridal showers for April or May. So I know if I took a month off to help myself out it wouldn't be that bad but I feel like I'm letting myself down this way.
I've had a good strong business since I started in Nov 2006. I was top sales in my direct line cluster last year with an average sales of $2000 per month, all while working full time. This year is still going strong but I've had alot of shows and feel like they were all pretty low. I'm sure it's because of my lack of positive attitude. I actually had to call my host from yesterday last week and tell her that I felt like I've dropped the ball for her show and wanted to help out by making reminder calls for her. Now she wants ME to follow up with the guests who were unable to make it. That puts more stuff on my plate that I really don't feel like doing right now.
My sister has actually suggested for me to go see a doctor and get a physical to make sure everything is okay. She also suggested I start taking a daily vitamin again to help boost myself. I think the biggest downer is my day time job. I love what I do but hate going to work every day. There so much stress and reliability falling on me it's becoming unbearable. Sorry for going on and on but I needed to just let this all out! Thanks for listening!
