BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

I learned a very valuable lesson this last week. I was in the third month of relinquisment of my Directorship. As of last Tuesday, I was ready to throw in the towel. I had one show that was hovering around $700 and only had one other show scheduled. My cluster didn't have a lot going on, other than a few catalog shows and a couple cooking shows that hadn't closed yet.

Well, I perservered - the show I did last Thursday closed over $1000, the show that was hovering at $700 closed at $1100 and I did an email blitz that resulted in almost $1000 in orders. Not only did I save my directorship, I also hit $3,000 in the Sell-a-Thon and I feel closer than ever to my team :)

My Director told me last week that she thought I could do it and I thought she was crazy. But I did it :)

So just remember - believe in YOURSELF and things can happen! I proved that to myself :)

Just wanted to share!

Kim

I had a similar situation last September and was amazed at the response I got from people when I asked for help! It is always humbling to have to call or email people and ask for something, but it sure makes you believe that most of the people are mostly good!

Thanks for the responses guys :) I'm glad I could help!

I sent out 3 emails last week. On Monday, I sent an email out just reminding people of the Outlet and what was on it. Got a great response. On Wednesday, I sent an email out asking for quick turnaround catalog shows and offering a free salad chopper ($10.00 out of my pocket) and got a $414 show within 2 days and on Friday, I sent out an email offering a "Friends and Family Discount" of 20% and received over $600 in orders. Worth giving up a portion of my commission for all those FREE products and incentive trip points :)

Frequently Asked Questions

If I ever think something is out of my reach, what should I do?

It's important to reassess your goals and break them down into smaller, achievable steps. Focus on what you can control and take action towards those smaller goals. Surround yourself with supportive people who can encourage you and help you stay motivated.

How can I build confidence in pursuing goals that seem unreachable?

Start by celebrating small victories and acknowledging your progress. Practice positive self-talk and visualize your success. Joining a supportive community, like a Pampered Chef team, can also provide motivation and encouragement as you work towards your goals.

What resources are available to help me if I feel overwhelmed?

Utilize resources such as mentorship, online training, and workshops offered by Pampered Chef. Additionally, consider reading self-help books or listening to motivational podcasts that can provide strategies and inspiration to help you overcome feelings of overwhelm.

Can setting unrealistic goals affect my motivation?

Yes, setting unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and decreased motivation. It's essential to set SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—to maintain motivation and ensure you are making progress towards your objectives.

How can I stay motivated when pursuing challenging goals?

Keep your end goal in mind and remind yourself of the reasons you started. Create a vision board, track your progress, and connect with others who share similar goals. Regularly revisiting your "why" can help you stay focused and motivated even when challenges arise.
