Quitting the Biz...questions about sales, shipping, and website fees?

[lisaterwilliger]

Hey everyone!
After 8 years I have decided to quit my business. I have some questions for anyone who might have talked to someone about this previously. I had no sales in January (last show was submitted Dec. 12th) but I did get a change over kit today...where is the shipping coming for that since I have no commission check? I have the box (unopened) sitting next to me...tempting me..haha should I send it back or what?! Also, my website expires next week so I just plan on cancelling it the day before...any ideas if I'll get charged the $25 cancellation fee? I think if you cancel it in the renewal window you don't get charged but don't know how big the window is. I think that's it for now...any help??
Thanks everyone!
Lisa

why are you quitting? just because you didn't have sales in January? Well with the new products and that box in front of you that is calling your name, I'm sure you will be able to come up with something for the rest of February and March....and on and on and on...Don't give up! I'm fairly new (started in October) and I've felt the pressure of not having shows nor bookings, but I'm NOT giving up! I can only imagine how much experience you must have after 8 years...do you have a team? If not, why not? I honestly believe with this business...THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! Nothing is easy in life, we have to work for what we want...please don't quit. I want to hear from your experiences so that I can learn! God Bless!

I'm quitting, too. Haven't gotten a changeover box, so that's not a concern. I assume they will just never collect on the monthly insurance charge.
You could call them to see if they want the paperwork back - or mark 'refused' on the box & let your mail carrier pick it up.

I've been planning my end with the company for a few months...it's been a long time coming now that my life is so different from when I started. That's the beautiful thing about a company like this...when life slows down I can come back if I want.
I talked to my director who was pretty sure if I cancelled my PWS now I'd be ok and she wasn't sure about the $6 but was pretty sure they wouldn't try to come after me for it. I did see that you can send in a letter of resignation and I was thinking I might do that...otherwise it's 6 months of inactivity and I think I'd rather just be done instead of dragging it out.

Well I wish you the best!

Best I could say is call and ask them.

Remember this Quiters never win and Winners Never Quit. i have thoughts on quiting but i have the greatest suport group ever my recruiter shes great and so is my Hubby she helps me bulid me up again. I was at feast and Saw Nichole Arbour what an amazing story on how she makes pc work with a full time job, part time job and 2 small kids at home along with being a wife. I had learnd Quit talking your slef down and quit being negative and dont let anyone say you cant do this. Dont think like that anymore its not a fun way to work this as a biz also need remember treat this like you would any other job set hours and time also get organized and what u put into this is what you will get out of it. If you put negativity it and get down it will be not as good as it should be. also if you dont put any effort in it you wont get much out of it. Good luck to all of you who is Quiting.
