OK, I really need some advice, encouragement, something.....
Since I returned "home" last Nov, business has totally sucked. I went from monthly sales averaging a minimum of $3000 to barely meeting my monthly $1250, if that. My team had 40+ members (not all active) and now I'm down to about 15. I have lost Directorship as a result of the new requirements and a team that isn't consistent.
Personally, since Nov, I've left a not good marriage, moved from Germany to Ohio, gone from the military community to the civilian community (after 23 years in the military community), had my son move to live with his dad (first time we didn't live together EVER), met a WONDERFUL man (with two daughters living with him) who I'm now shacking up with, and had to go TAKE my son back (yeah, as in got him from school and hit the road, and yes, it was legal and I talked to the sheriff first, I never relinquished primary custody and he was begging to come back but scared to tell dad and dad wouldn't let him come see me at all).
SOOOO, it's been a very crazy year needless to say. Now, I've learned SO much this last year so overall, I know God's used it all to teach me things. But I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't time to move on from PC. I may not even earn Level 1 this year (after earning the trip both of my other 2 full years with PC). There are NO jobs here and people just can't fathom paying the price for quality stuff right now. They're barely making it! I've talked to my Sales Director at PC and she admitted I'm going to HAVE to branch out to keep things going. And I've done that. But it requires driving an hour to Columbus for networking and stuff. I don't mind that BUT now that my son is back, AND I'm going to college all afternoon every Mon, Wed, and Fri (about 40 minutes away), it's just alot. I know I'm totally slacking off because I've lost my motivation. So, do I just admit now isn't the time and walk away? I'd still LOVE to do it again in the future. I really need some good feedback. I've never seriously considered quitting before so I'm not sure this is just a phase or not.
Sorry so long! Just wanted to make all the factors influencing things clear. I welcome ANY input! Thanks!
