[pcladyofms]

I am going to be having surgery on May 31. I will be completely down for the month of June. Anybody have any suggestions on how to continue to work my biz for that month?

I fractured my ankle at the end of January and was facing the same situation. I sent out a mystery show email to my contacts and closed a $1000 show for Feb. I had 2 participants "win" free shows so I was set for March when I was no longer housebound. You will find that people love to help. Best of luck with your surgery.

Letting everyone know that you're going to be out of commission but that they can still order or do catalog shows worked well for me when I had surgery a few years ago.Plus, be sure to use your down time to get your scheduled filled for when you are back in action.

I was down for 8 weeks with preeclampsia & then recovering from a c-section. I stayed active with catalog shows. I agree, get on the phone & start notifying potential hosts that you will be having surgery and are looking for volunteers to host a catalog show in June or a cooking show in July to help you get back in the swing of your business. I'm sure you'll get some volunteers!

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you will be having surgery on May 31. I hope everything goes well for you and that you have a speedy recovery. In terms of your business, there are a few things you can do to continue working during your down time. First, you can reach out to your team members and see if anyone is able to assist you during the month of June.

Additionally, you can utilize social media and online platforms to continue promoting your business and keeping in touch with your customers. You can also consider offering special promotions or discounts during this time to keep your business active.
