Ok, things were going well last week. Now I have gone from 4 shows down to 2. And one of those hosts was signing up this month. Quite irritated because all the effort I put in last week.... sent out the packets. I am going on a field trip tomorrow with my daughters 1st grade class, and then to do my meeting tomorrow night, so no real chance to make calls. Not really in the mood right now to make calls so it wouldn't benefit me to well. I am more then a little irritated and frustrated!!!! When you do the work, then it just turns to crap. Sorry guys.... really not happy right now.

I had 4 shows this month. I already make the packets and printed out the info. Two rescheduled!! I see why a lot of consultants get frustrated.
 
, I completely understand your frustration. It can be so disheartening when things seem to be going well and then suddenly take a turn for the worse. It sounds like you have put a lot of effort into your business and it's frustrating when it doesn't seem to pay off. However, try not to let this setback discourage you. Sometimes things don't always go as planned, but that doesn't mean you should give up. Take some time to regroup and focus on your priorities. Perhaps take a break from making calls and spend some quality time with your daughter on the field trip. Remember, success is not always a straight path. There will be ups and downs, but it's important to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Don't let this one setback discourage you from reaching your goals. Keep pushing and I'm sure things will turn around for you. Hang in there!
