A Cheesey Life

The past week my calls have yielded little results. I would say it was a cold week. Having this happen caused me to feel even more anxious. So during my weekly routine, I  decided to take a break  and I caught a glimpse of the news. I don’t watch news but this story caught my eye. The number of companies that have laid off this year is insane!

Times have changed because you rarely will run into someone who just retired after 35  years of service. I strongly feel those days are long gone. People right now are mad, depressed, feeling helpless, frustrated, and betrayed from being laid off. My friend was also one of them. Her cheese along with all the others had been taken away. But I wasn’t worried about this friend because I knew she had a NEW plan A, to find more cheese!

I said all that to say, after experiencing being laid off myself. I think it is important to create your own cheese, reinvent yourself. We are not disposable, but unique special individuals with a God given right to prosper! Find your purpose, find a passionate why and I wish you the best because you and I deserve it! Current situations have solidified my commitment to myself. All the meetings, networking, calls, and business trips are for my business. My cheese isn’t for the taking!

Keep calling…

So its been a week and I am overdue for my post in regards to the outcome of my calls. I was side tracked just a bit and could not make calls until Wednesday. (My daughter needed help making 30 posters for school.) Which is ok because the freedom I have to work when I want is wonderful! Well I am just going to break down the numbers. I have found that some calls can be time consuming, rescheduled or numbers no longer in service. Out of the 7 calls made, attempted and ongoing. I received 2 referrals, 4 people looking to use my services. One person looking to use several services, and one looking at possibly becoming my business partner. And one follow-up call because they are unsure. For the coming week I have 5 scheduled appointments and looking to gain several referrals also.

I work my business everyday for right now. If I am not making calls I am training. This may not work for some people but that’s the wonderful thing about network marketing it’s at your convenience.

I will consider last week good progress. Let’s hit the ground running Monday!
