Being Patient

I probably need to read more network marketing books so I can understand that the impatience I am feeling is normal. In my mind, I a already a level ahead of where I am, even though my business doesn't reflect that at this moment. I just so badly want to be at that next level, that I have to remind myself to not get frustrated.

I also totally overbooked myself today. I had a skype 1x1 at 9am, went into work at 1045, a coffee 1x1 at 3, filming the announcements for church at 4, another skype 1x1 at  5, dinner with my boyfriend around 6 and bible study at 7... Which actually wouldn't have been that terrible... except the USA was playing in the world cup today and so I didn't get out of BJs until 515..... yeah... stressful much? And I don't even care about soccer!! Anyway, I was trying to communicate with my meetings while my tables were yelling at me that they needed things and the restaurant was running out of everything. My ears were ringing and I felt a migraine approaching when I got off. Met for the coffee a couple hours later, thankfully she was flexible, went and shot for 30 minutes and rescheduled the secondary skype.. I need to learn that I do have limits and that I need to set a realistic schedule for myself. Although it is productive, 3 1x1 in one day is a little over the top, after all I am only human. I am growing more exhauseted and pushing myself. I think in August, I will mellow out to 2 parties instead of 3 a week  and try to regain some balance/ sleep in my life.

Lesson: Don't over commit yourself, know your realistic boundaries in your schedule, don't be afraid to say no or schedule it at a later date.. It's better than trying to cram it in and running around looking like Hellen Keller's personal assistant, lol too much? Sorry, that's what my best friend and I say whenever we have wacked out hair and sweaty makeup or what remains of it haha.

I am learning the rythm of what I can handle, 2 parties, 2 1x1. Totally doable and still gives me a little wiggle room while juggling my two other jobs! If nothing else this has motivated me further to get out of waiting tables. I will not be serving at BJs in a year, I will be in the next stage of my life, more financially stable! It is totally worth the extra work and crazy schedule to get there!
