Flaky People

OMG! So, in our generation and in Southern California, I have found myself surrounded by flaky people! Ewe! Follow through on your commitments! Don't be rude! Everyone makes plans and then (since we have our world at our fingertips via our phones) cancel and go off to do who knows what else at the last minute. My mom says back before you had a cell phone everyone agreed on a place and time and then you showed up...on time might I add. Oh, the golden days. This has always been an annoyance to me along with people who get on their phones while their having a conversation with you, but that's a whole other soap box for another day...

I had a party cancel on me, which is fine..whatever. It is simply frustrating when I am trying to build an income based on the number of people I tell about Arbonne. I have personal goals that I try to meet each week and I* work hard to book things. I guess this is the part of the game where you learn to overbook just in case of cancellations or you factor in "dropped parties" into your numbers for each month. I am trying to figure out how to best handle it. The girl wants to reschedule, but did not answer my request for when she wanted to reschedule. I am going to get this party! Even if it's 3 months from now, it will happen! And this is how I have to feel about each one. You never know what one person can do for your business, so they are all important!!! I think I might just add another party onto the already packed end of the month; we will see.

Also, reading a book that my amazing, thoughtful and encouraging upline sent me.. I think I'm her 4th generation? Anyway, it was such a sweet gesture! And a very good read. It's called, "The four year Career." It really breaks down the mathematics of Network Marketing: the myths, the reality, the opportunity. Author, Richard Bliss Brooke is refreshingly honest and focuses on the facts. The truth is that the majority of people who set out to do network marketing will quit before they really make any substantial money. Also, it brought to my attention how Amazing of a compensation plan and incentives Arbonne has! Seriously! It's a non-Arbonne book with general statistics and comparing them with Arbonne excited me deeply. I found a good one, the golden company! I will be a success and I will make this work for me! It wont happen overnight, it requires tenacity and consistency, but I can do it. The system is simple; It just has to be followed. And I wont let any of those flakes get in my way! I am building my network!!!
