Okay - I am so excited for my month right now! So far, I have turned in $4450 in sales (some were Sept Shows) and I have 5 more Cooking Shows, and 2 Catalog Shows still to do for this month.
Right now, I have 8 Cooking Shows (2 are FR) and 5 Catalog Shows for November, and 3 Cooking Shows for December.
THAT is the best schedule I have ever had! Dec. for me has usually consisted of Catalog Shows, and Individual Orders, and MAYBE a show or two.I just checked to see what I have done in the past for Oct., and last year, my total sales for Oct were $2300, and the year before, $1050.........I am just THRILLED!There are some things I can attribute this to as I think about it. FIRST - I have been praying that God would give me the right attitude and perspective for my business - and I believe as I try to honor Him, He is blessing me.
He is blessing me because I am doing the right things, for the right reason, and at the right time.
3-2-1 really helped! The discipline and accountability of doing that consistently paid off in the best Sept & Oct schedule I've ever had, and I'm seeing the longer term benefits in my bookings for Nov, Dec, and beyond!
Also, focusing on being ME at my shows, and doing what I do best, has made my shows more comfortable for me, and more fun for my guests....which in turn makes them want to book.Anyway - I just had to do a little toot (excuse me! ) and share some of my excitement with you all!
