Make it Great

Hello everyone!

Long time no chit chat, been busy doing nothing, you know how that is….

Okay well, I have a delimma (did I spell that right? d-e-l-i-m-m-a, doesn’t look right) but anyway. Well, I spell it right didn’t thanks to, dictioanry.com and google, the word is spelled: dilemma, which still don’t look right! Okay moving on! Back on topic- I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I have no money to spend on my business, at all. Not sqeezing another dime out, I have to go out of town and can’t go broke, now can I? Umm no, I can’t. I have to buy clothes for the trip, food, and shelter and those things are kind of important, know what I mean? Why are needs so important?

So, what do you do when you are in this position? No leads, no money, no time but you are still paying your monthly payment to stay “active”. What do you do? What can you do?

I looked online and tried to get some advice, well that did not work at all. I am not maxing out my credit card and living on the edge just to “hopefully” make enough money to pay it off. I am sorry, but I am a square and don’t take risks like that. I will not go into debt for this business, to me that is not too smart and a little extreme. Extreme + square = not me at all.

So then, I looked at some other things and they said, pass out flyers and samples all over town. Well bing that I leave in a few weeks and my house looks like a tornado hit it, not to mention my desk looks like someone dumped a compost pile on it, I don’t have the time to walk all over town! Well, then I thought “drive around town then!”, sounded like a great plan until I saw the gas prices, Father help us all! Gas is $3.11 and we have an SUV, so that’s like oil and water, they don’t mix. Especially when you have no money….

Next, I said to myself, call people, do some cold calling around town. Bright idea right, no gas, just a few hours, and it’s free. Sounds like a great idea, right? I thought so too, until I called 54975 churches for fundraisers and I guess they took the day off! On a Wednesday, they decided to go on vacation or something. What’s really going on?

So should I take a break and just concentrate on “life”? I am thinking about doing that, but this is recruiting season and I will miss out on all the leads and growing my business. What do I do? What’s a gal to do? Anyone gonna answer me?

I am not quiting my business, that’s not an option, I am just at a stand still right now. So, I am going to study some more and sharpen my “marketing skills” while I have the opportunity and who knows what may come of this?

I don’t know! I am all out of ideas! I know how to grow a business with a shoe string budget, but how do you do it on no budget with no money? You can’t! It takes money to make money!

So, I’ll relax until my budget allows me to actually make some money…

Thanks for reading,
