Lesson Learned

So today I was supposed to have my first 'wrap party.' That didn't quite work out. No one showed up, but I am confident that I will still be a successful Wrapstar. I blame my poor marketing for this defeat. You can't expect people to jump at an opportunity when they only have a 3 day notice, no personal contact from me (FB isn't personal), and very little knowledge about the product. So I will definitely make sure I am on my p's and q's next go around.

So what did I do with the time I set aside to wrap away the fat lol? I did what any smart business owner would do. I worked!! After I ate some ice cream of course...I'm only human :) I journaled a bit because I wanted to rid myself of any negativity. I had to admit to myself that this was poorly planned and I need to take better control of my business. Then I reminded myself that since I want this to work I need to continue taking the necessary steps that will allow me to become successful. Last, I reassured myself that God would not plant dreams, goal, and desires in my heart that HE isn't willing to fulfill.

After journaling I called a few people who showed interest in my products and possibly becoming a fellow/lady business builder. Had some great conversations. Moved on to my weekly conference call, where I was commended by my upline for showing leadership by sharing this business with others, even when I didn't have product (ego boost).  Then I made that dreaded call to my mother, because I never want her to feel like I am hounding her. But the thing is, a lot of my motivation for success comes from my desire to help her financially when I am able. I don't think asking her to spend $33/mth is too bad. Give and it shall be given, right?

Now I'm sitting here blogging, waiting for my husband and daughter to return home with some french fries for this hungry momma. Guess that means I need to take a fat fighter!

Today was good but tomorrow will be great! Lesson Learned.

Mission Accomplished!

Today I was determined to get out and paint the town green and black with blitz cards. Blitz cards are a marketing material I use to acquire business. They are awesome!

On Sunday night I saw an ad for a PBS event hosted by my local Whole Foods, so I thought that would be a great opportunity for me to mix and mingle with other parents. It was scheduled to begin at 10am. Now anybody who knows me, knows I am not a morning person, but I have goals to accomplish so sleeping in was not an option. 

I set my alarm for 7:30am, because as most moms know life is unpredictable and so are 10 month olds. Everything went pretty smoothly. Persia had a small tantrum when it was time to get in her carseat, but at least we were out the door. Gave her a pacifier, turned on the Pandora and off we went.  

There were so many moms there!! I was quite giddy because I saw all of the potential clients I could acquire. I will admit that I was nervous to approach people for two reasons. One, because I didn't want to offend them, by offering a service that basically says you have excess fat somewhere and I want to fix it. The second reason being, I had this crazy notion I would get kicked off of the Whole Foods lot for soliciting. 

After I dismissed those silly ideas and remembered my goals, I was fine. I cooed over babies, chatted about organic milk, and basically made easy small talk because people looove to talk about their kids. It was  a piece of cake!

I gave out a few blitz cards and left feeling like a proud business owner. I also felt like I needed to do more. So as I was on my daily Target run I approached a mom who was in awe of Persia's beauty. She was very exited about the wrap and asked lots of questions. So I am all revved up and ready to blitz again. Get my business boomin!
