I have 3 catalog shows going on and I am addicted to checking my email to see if anyone has ordered. Am I the only one that does this? Even when I'm at work I have my iPhone alert me for my gmail and I check to see what it is in the bathroom! (No cell phones allowed at work) Is it just me or is anyone else out there just as crazy? I don't know how consultants did this before the internet. I would have gone crazy using snail mail!

Just me and my craziness,
Tammy:rolleyes:
 
I'm also a fanatic about checking my email for orders....you're not alone!
 
Yes Tammy, you are CrAzY!!! :eek:


haha! no, it's not just you.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I the Only Crazy Person Right Now?

No, you are definitely not the only one feeling overwhelmed or out of sorts. Many people experience moments of doubt or anxiety, especially during busy times or when facing new challenges. It's important to reach out to friends, family, or support groups to share your feelings.

How can I manage my feelings of being overwhelmed?

Managing feelings of overwhelm can involve several strategies, such as practicing mindfulness, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and prioritizing self-care. Taking breaks, engaging in physical activity, and talking to someone about your feelings can also help alleviate stress.

Is it normal to feel like I'm not doing enough?

Yes, it's completely normal to feel like you're not doing enough, especially in a fast-paced environment like direct sales. Many people struggle with this feeling. Remember to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and recognize that everyone has their own pace and challenges.

What should I do if I feel isolated in my direct sales journey?

If you're feeling isolated, consider connecting with other direct sales consultants through social media groups, local meetups, or online forums. Building a support network can provide encouragement, share best practices, and help you feel less alone in your journey.

How can I stay motivated when I feel like giving up?

Staying motivated can be challenging, especially during tough times. Setting realistic goals, celebrating small wins, and reminding yourself of your "why" can help reignite your passion. Surrounding yourself with positive influences and seeking inspiration from successful peers can also boost your motivation.
