Getting Moving

June 20, 2009

When I first started Mary Kay it was rough. I quit. Recently, I decided it was time to get moving again. I placed my order to get going again. I never thought anything would happen. Just like last time. I didn’t order any skin care class supplies or color or anything that you would need.

Last week I put a box up in a tanning salon. I only got two leads but the first girl I called said yes to the facial. Oh, crap. I don’t have anything to do a facial. That’s okay I’ll figure it out. This afternoon I passed out fliers for my Mary Kay Muffins and makeovers. I already have one RSVP for it! Hopefully, I’ll get more. If not it will be just us. No worries. I’ll figure it out.

I’m not sure what’s different this time. It just feels more fluid this time. It’s scary because I need to have my business moving for financial reasons. At the same time I’m not so ridgid about it. I’m just doing it. I’m getting things on the books and worrying about the rest as I go. Maybe it’s because I have a good friend helping me. Maybe it’s because my Director isn’t after her own bottom line and isn’t pressuring me for sales. She is quietly encouraging me. Just enough to get me moving. And maybe it’s that I’m more comfortable with myself. I have confidence that I didn’t have a few years ago when I tried.

Wish me luck this week. I have lots going on. It feels good that things are moving forward. : )
