Looks Like I'm *Just* Going to Make It This Month

In summary, December was the first month of relinquishment for me and my team. I experienced two cancellations and low sales, leaving me short of my $4k goal by $700. However, with one more catalog show and a show tonight with 10 guests, it looks like I will make it. I also received an online order for $36. My cluster also tends to surprise me at the last minute. January was a difficult month for me, but I am determined to have an awesome February. Some of my team members are also struggling, but we expect to make it with a large fair in two weeks and bookings from other consultants. I am excited for the new system and the opportunity to grow my team without the fear of losing

Feb's looking good. I'm already at $1167 personally and collectively as a team we have 17 shows going in (God willing) so I'm sure we'll be fine.I'm just mad at myself for doing the math wrong!!!!!But I'm getting over it! I'm signing a new consultant today and she'll be great. New blood is always good! ;)

I'm always fearful of doing the math wrong too and missing it by $1.00! I get OCD about it and check it over and over and over....and then check it again....LOL

YUP! Me too. And this is the first month EVER that I have not tracked it. I don't know why but I didn't.

Lesson learned.

I met someone at conference last year who missed TPC by a similar margin the prior year. She was PISSED and it didn't happen again. :)
