Rained out

So today was a 50/50 day for us. We made contacts at three new businesses sold an olaf, but got rained out for trick or treating.  Audrey had basketball tryouts until almost 6 so we were getting a late start anyways.  Well, there's always tomorrow.

Racing Thoughts

So right now my mind is going about a million miles a minute.  A fellow avon representative is giving me  part of her business.  Today we drove around to the places that she drops off  books.  My mind is full of ideas to get these sales back to where they were before she became inconsistent.

Now that I've met these customers I can go back and talk to them and explain my situation and how I mean to run my business. I want to write a letter and introduce myself that way also. There are more places we can go to to drop off books.

There is so much we can do to expand  in just the small area she showed us. I can't wait to get started.

Busy excuses

Running a home business working full time and trying to find time for myself has been difficult.  I wake up in the morning to my Avon business, texts, phone calls, deliveries, meetings for my full time job, education for my formal career.  Sometimes all I want to do is relax on the couch.

This morning I woke up to 2 texts about my Avon business.  One was a woman that says she wants to give part of hers away.  I'm not afraid of that.  Ian is home on layoff and more than willing to help.  The other one was a girl underneath me asking a question I don't have the answer to. So after I called her, it was a call to my DM. Waiting for that call back.

I'm also trying to get my IV certification through a home study course.  So I've been trying to read that information and get my tests done.  I'm back and forth with my supervisor for help with the clinical aspect of that. And also the  proctor to give me my exam.

As for healthier part of my goals,  I haven't drunken any soda for over 2 weeks now.  My ankles have been hurting more than usual  so I'm starting out by using my elastic bands to help strengthen them up. I feel somewhat better.  I'm not sure I have more energy yet, but I will get there.
