I will promote to Advanced Director on April 1st, I have a director on my team who will continue as a director due to the elite sellers program. But in case she falls short any month, I need to make sure I have the structure in place that I still get paid as a director, working with a couple girls now..... but no luck so far. Working with new blood seems to be easier.

anyone else feeling the "crunch". I bounce between excitement and just anxiety. I do NOT like being in this "limbo" state. And my poor DH - he's getting such a lesson in the dynamics of direct sales - much more than he ever wanted to know...
I know I just need to breathe and keep coaching and training my Team as normal, but I just want to know that I have it all in place. Of course, I know I have to keep that structure, but just to attain it will be a relief.

I totally feel the crunch!! But it's because I've been feeling very blah lately, have had too much other stuff going on and have quite a lull in motivation regarding my biz. I'm REALLY hoping I snap out of it, but this change to the new career plan is causing me much stress. It's all coming along at a very bad time for me. I need to buck up and take charge of some things, probably starting with watching and reading all of the training stuff on the new plan.
I can coast for a little while with my team (I do have two current FD's who will be TLs and two who will be SCs) BUT my own personal business is suffering for various personal reasons and that's really gonna cause me to flounder if I can't get with the program.
So, you all aren't alone! At least you all sound like you're doing fabulous jobs with your teams and are doing great prep work for this change!!! Hmmm, maybe that will motivate me!!

with my chaotic life these past 4 weeks, I haven't even thought about the new plan..........also helps that I lost Directorship back in December....but, I have decided that I am just going to inspire others to give this business a try. What have I got to lose...NADA! What have I got to gain...EVERYTHING! I am starting over just like this restructuring is, so LOOK OUT!
Colleen, as usual, you just put it all into perspective! I want more money, so I need more sales & recruits...easy as that!

My team is so ambivalent period. I did a huge presentation on the new program last week at our meeting and gently told them at the end of the meeting that if they didn't step up and do more shows and get recruiting I wouldn't be their director any longer and they just looked at me. Yet they tell me how much they love the meetings and how much they get out of them. I have an entire team full of every other monthers. We'll see come Conference what my badge says, huh?

I feel your pain! Perhaps if you can concentrate on "if they were a _______" (senior consultant, team leader, etc.) this is how you could increase your family income".
This will have a larger impact on them. They still want you as a director but they need to see "what is in it for them". The need or want for more money seems to be universal. Show them their potential and focus on their strengths.
Offer as much opportunity for them to learn and practice whatever part of the business they need. If it seems like they need everything, then just remember you are then eating an elephant...you can only eat one teaspoon at a time.
You will not see immediate results!! But you will be planting seeds. (just as we do at our parties for sales, bookings and recruiting.)
Honestly, think of how a seed grows and how long it takes to bear a product for harvest. This is what you need to do with your team. Make sure you tend to your team as you would a garden.
I can almost promise that if we all did this now, we would have a "field of dreams" sprouting in August and September. My patience level is low, so waiting for seeds to grow seems like an eternity for me!!! But I am seeing results of my work!
