I am a newly-wed (11-12-05) Whle my hubby and I were getting to know each other I was a participant in Team in Training - A program that helps people train for endurance events like marathons, triathlons and in return they raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
About a month after our wedding my mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. In late Feb I signed with PC to start a business to do fund-raisers for the LLS. Because I dpnt think 10-15% s very much I have been giving my commissons to the TNT particpants and other cancer organizations I have worked with.
Once I started going to cluster meetings and all I started getting excited about making money on regular shows and now that I have recruited two people and became an FD I am excited about building a business.
Problem is that my hubby is not pleased with the amount of time it is taking away from him. I love him dearly
I am a bit disorganized so it sure doesn't help me get in and out of the office and ready for shows very fast.
The cluster meetings get my competitive spirit going and I have a tendency to be an all or nothing type so it hard doing things half-way. I didn't think about this being a problem when I got started.
He has been great about getting the office set up and helping me with labeling catalogs and such so it's not that he isn't supportive it just that he doesn't understand my desire to build a business not just do this as a hobby.
I want it so I can be proud of myelf and that he would be proud of me and my family also Right now though with the fundraiser system I have been doing there isn't much money coming in from the biz - Lots of product since I have earned almost all incentives except when my mother passed in June.
Can anyone relate or have any suggestions??
