I am taking a huge deep breath right now. Since I have been pregnant I haven't been working my business as I usually do. I only submitted 2 shows last month and had 3 cancelled shows this month. My team missed the $4000 by about $600 in May. I was really really hoping we could pull it out this month since July may be slow and by Aug it should be picking up again. I had a friend that hosted for me tonight and I just got home from a well needed $1000 show! Right now we are $299 away from $4000 and I still have a catalog show out and I believe my team has 3 more shows to submit. YEAH!!!:D:D

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share with someone that would get it!
 
Congrats on the 1000 show.
Hang in there. Sounds like your team will make it.
Gotta love those months we sweat it out.:sun:
 
Yeah! Breathing a sigh of relief for you (I think we all know that feeling!)
 
sigh......
relief, good for you
 
Congrats! For the first time in 2 1/2 yrs I'm sweating my own personal sales! I've had decent months since the baby 1250+ and this month I'm struggling to get to $750! My team has done $4000 alone..thank goodness..they are really improving :)
Congrats again and keep up the good work :)
 
Congrats! Those months aren't fun - but they build ...character?:sun:
 
Oh I so know how you feel, since Ive been on bedrest my team has all but dissapeared. I went from a 30+ group to now only have about 6-8 who consistently submit. And most of those are hobbiests/part-timers. We hit the $4000 by about $500 every month and it's usually not until the last night of the month so I get a little stressed! HANG IN THERE!

<3 Darcy
 
Oh, It's hard to believe I once had a $18,000 a month team, WITHOUT my own sales, I'm working on adding a few more fish to the pond! LoL That would be my suggestion to you as well.

Thanks everyone. I appriciate the support. I can't wait to call my director and share the news with her too.
 
:D That's great, Shana!! What a relief.
 
Very Happy for you!! Looks like we're on the same boat. I'm short about $600 this month and I'm going to do it no matter what! I have to do my $1250 for my Director benefit so it's on me. This year has been the worst for my business, but very rewarding in all other areas of my life so I'm not feeling too bad about it. I'm excited about conference and hope to get pumped for the last part of the year and still manage to earn a trip. :)
 
Go Shana!

I have been in the same position a few times. It just is no fun. Very happy your team is doing so great this month.
 
A newbie turned in $1600 in sales in her first month and totally bailed me out!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!
