Hi friends,
I am starting to feel like I want to stop doing PC. It's not that I don't like it, because I do, but I have 3 additional activities in my life that are taking up a lot of time and I want to be doing them- agility training with my dog, church and choir, and learning to seriously sew. These are things that relax me that I love, and I need to have time for them. Lately I am feeling like I wish I didn't have PC on my plate (I only do 2 or so shows a month anyway, it's a minor part of my life). However, I also know that it makes money for me and that it is a positive thing to do. So I am debating about how to move forward. It doesn't help that I have nothing on my calendar right now. I am in a slump for bookings, and know I should get on the phone to call people, but that's the thing- I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to have to struggle at it. Right now my focus is on de-stressing my life, and I'll be honest, when the shows come easy, I'm up for it.. but when they don't (like now), I really am not.
I don't want to sound like a downer or a quitter, I'm just being honest about how I am feeling right now and hoping someone can relate. I am very happy in my life right now but feel "guilty" about wanting to let PC go.
I don't want to regret it, either!
Here is my question- What happens if I go inactive? I had a show in December and have nothing on the books for January. IF I don't schedule anything for January, but I have one in February, I will retain my career sales, correct? I am thinking that if I take the month off and regroup, but plan a big PC mystery host party at my house for the first week of February, it will renew my interest (and that of my friends and family). Thoughts?
Thanks for listening. Happy New Year to everyone!
