I hope this all comes out the way I want it to...
Some of you know that I promoted to AD April 1st when an indirect recruit promoted to Director. Then my direct recruit did promote in time to avoid a pass by situation. Much to celebrate!!

And then some of you know the saga about how the pay I was getting shifted much more than I expected (for the worse) because this indirect team is very strong (they did $13000 last month!). So instead of earning 4% on all of them, I earn 3% for the indirect director (2nd gen) and 1/2% for her team.
Ok, so I am getting past this...pity parties crop up, however, when I look at my budget.:bugeye:
Shock and awe!
Now here is my next "dilema" that I am trying to wrap my brain around this all...
Being an AD brings the next level but I find not much on what that entails. And my direct recruit that promoted in time to avoid a pass by is now an AD. We were having meetings at the indirect director's home but now that is not good since she is having her follow up meetings there and it is too much. Which I totally understand.
Having meetings in my home is out of the question for several reasons. And I am trying to get the rest of my personal cluster to respond. I am searching for a pulse...REALLY!
I KNOW what I need to do. Try to get some momentum with my personal cluster but recruit. And find a new meeting place. Just trying to go to an area where there are more willing people to attend.
What I have been working through mentally is trying to revive my believe because commission wise and active team wise...I feel like I have gotten kicked and rolled off the mountain of mometum. I actually feel like I am starting a square one. I have the title but there has been nothing "advanced" about it.
My direct recruit is an Advanced so she and I are on the same level so to speak. She has the active 4% team.
Today I started listening to an audio on the Online Training Center regarding getting motivated about your business again. As I am working through this in my mind searching for answers, I notice that this "loss" of what I used to know as my team and income is seeping into other aspects of my business in a negative way. In other words, I feel like I am losing my "mojo". This makes me panic because it is hard to recruit when you really are not as excited about your business.
It has taken me almost 2 weeks to be able to talk about this in a less than "pity party" way. Everything came out as WAH. I now can at least put these feelings into words. At one point I felt as if I was grieving!
Add to the mix, at my job I had to reduce the time of a very good employee. She used to oversee summer programs that we offered food to students but all of those programs have been phased out for the past 3 years. There is nothing left so instead of working 12 months a year, she will work 10 months. She knew for years it was coming and last summer we really stretched it but this year there are no programs. Even though she knew it was coming, it has been uncomfortable time.
So there it is! I will be working harder on getting my mojo back and I glad I did not have a party this past week when all of these feelings were hitting me. I have a party tomorrow and I am getting a little more excited about it. And I have a recruit lead that took $40 kit credit last month that I will be catching up with soon.
If you have read this far...so appreciate it. Thanks for the shoulder and helping me write out my feelings. You all help me through so much...you just don't know. There is always a warm supportive feeling here and it is a nice soft place to land!
Have thought a lot about "Who Moved My Cheese" these past weeks. Every time I felt I found it...it moved again. I almost feel like who moved my Cheese Factory!!
