I'm pretty bummed and so down about my business right now. I planned a sampling for tonight and invited over 55 people. I was hoping to have 3-5 people come and really looking forward to getting some new blood on my team. I haven't recruited since November and my team is non-existant...I have several $200 every other monthers and that's it. So I had two who RSVPed that they were coming. One is a recent home office lead and the other is a girl I met 2 1/2 years ago. The home office lead cancelled yesterday and the other girl called at 6:25 tonight to tell me she couldn't come. She said she has a hole in her gas line (she was just getting gas to come to my house?!?! This thing started at 6:30 and she lives 40 minutes away!). I just feel like I don't know what to do. Money is tight, but I bought stamps and made Mexican Chicken Lasagna (which I now have a whole deep covered baker of). I just feel like throwing in the towel (don't worry, I'm not going to, I just feel like it ). Right now I have the director title but am not even a qualified director under the old plan, much less the new one and honestly don't see it happening, which is really sad for me.
My home office lead girl and I are supposed to get together on Sunday. This is good news, I know, except for the fact that she has given me weird vibes and honestly creeped me out every time we've talked. She asks me lots of personal questions (am I married, do I have kids, where do I live, etc) and has asked them all at least 3 times. She even e-mailed me (after I told her I didn't have kids twice) to find out where my kids, if I had them, went to daycare as she's moving close to where the school I teach is. I honestly want someone to come with me on Sunday, but at the same time, think I'm being silly. We are meeting in a public place, I mean what could she do?!?! AHHH...
And then (I'm sorry this is so long for those of you still reading), my Exec lost her status April 1st. One of the directors on our team lost her director status by a measly $63 which put us under 8 directors going into the new plan. Now, my exec is not at all pushy (at all), but other directors on our team are really trying to motivate each other to get our structure in place by June 1st so we can have our banquet at conference. I want to so bad for her, but not for me. And after tonight, I just don't know what to do. She keeps saying she doesn't want anyone doing anything for her, only for themselves, but I know if I don't get things where I need them to be, and we don't get this banquet...others are going to be upset (not with me, but just in general). I really felt like if I could get one new person tonight, some new blood, maybe things would look up. I just feel like crying :cry:.
Ok, off to change out of my work clothes into comfy PJ's and crawl into bed and cuddle with my puppies (who always seem to know exactly how you are feeling...they are stuck to me like glue right now). Thanks to those of you who are still reading for letting me vent. Sorry to be such a debbie downer when so many of you are doing so well...I just needed to tell someone and knew you all would understand
