Hi Charmaine,

Welcome to the site! I'm sure you'll find a lot of great information here!

Sorry to hear you've hit a wall... but it happens even to the best of us here from time to time. Why not check out the "Motivation and Quotes" section or the "Boost Your Bookings" section to get ideas to get your business back on track!

If you haven't already, consider purchasing "the Secret" dvd & watch it over & over!! It really helps to get that motivation back - there's also a post on here recommending a host of different books on party planning & direct selling - there's sure to be something there that'll catch your eye:

Anyway... welcome aboard & I hope these help you gain back that confidence in your business!

Cheers,
Ren :)

Welcome to the board.

At some point we all hit a wall. But it's the belief in yourself to keep going and the belief that you can achieve great things that will keep you motivated.

Have your goals wriiten out and read them everyday. Make sure you have long term as well as short term goals as well - the short term goals will help keep you motivated while you go for the big dreams.

Don't let cacellations put you off, as miserable as they are, move on from them and find new ones. To be honest you were better off without them, imagine haveing to do a party and have them all cancel their orders.

Best of luck to you. I hope your business improves soon.

Thankyou for your replys. I really appreciate it. Ive been inspired again. Ive been making mini scrapbooks and christmas cards and now Ive organised a card making workshop for the 31st of October where we will make christmas cards. I do love my party plan ....I love the escape I get from the kids and other stresses when Im concentrating on making something...its quite relaxing. And lets face it we girls need that as often as we can get it!!! Have a good day everyone. Charmaine
