I started this month with three live shows. Now I have NONE.

At least one switched to a catalog show (partially to save me gas money, partially because her friends can't be there) and the other had the grace to reschedule.

GRRRRRRRR!!!

Guess it's time to get on the phone and steal the "business pampering" method!
 
You go, girl!
 
That's frustrating, I'm sorry to hear that. I know it can be tough when things don't go as planned and you have to adapt. But it sounds like you're already thinking of ways to make the best of the situation. Maybe reaching out to potential customers and offering them a special deal or discount for booking a party can help bring in some business. And don't forget to take care of yourself too, maybe a little self-care session can help relieve some of that stress. Hang in there!
