I am feeling so down the last little while, I need to vent! I have not been feeling like getting on the phone and my lack of commitment to my biz is showing. So, once I have vented here, I will turn a new page and get back on track.
I have been lacking in the host coaching department. For my show tonight, I just got a call from my host's mother because her daughter is at the grocery store, with a dying cell phone, and needs to know what ingredients to buy for the recipe. So, I give her the list. Then, I realize, I had given the host a choice of OCTOBER recipe, not November, for which she had the list for. You see, when I called her Saturday, she was babysitting, so did not have her packet with her, and I was still in October mode, so automatically gave her those choices. No biggy, I guess, unless she goes home and sees the recipe list and sees that I am a complete loser (ok, not really, but close! )
Now, all of this could have been avoided if I would have just gotten on the phone to her and did my host coaching properly. Now, I am feeling sick to my stomach and am embarrassed to show my face tonight. I just want to crawl under a rock.....:cry:
I don't know why I do this to myself, because I know that I feel good about things when I'm in touch with my hosts and go over things with them. And, the show ends up (as a rule) being pretty successful. So, why do I do this to myself?? (And to my hosts??)
Sorry to sound so sour, but I hope that once I get this show over with tonight, I will be able to start tomorrow fresh with a new plan in place (which I have been working on today).
Thanks for letting me vent.......
