Latest News

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged. Last time I wrote was before the Bridal Bliss event for Spa Gregories. I had a wonderful time at Bridal Bliss. It was very different from what I was expecting. I had worked out a script for the event. I was hoping to tell them about Barefoot Parties and how excited I am to be a part of it, all that we do to support and empower women... But I found that what I really needed to do was to get to know the women who were there. These were women who were getting married. What I needed to do was ask about their wedding, theme, date, etc. I was slow to change my game plan, I had planned so much for a specific outcome, but I did my best and learned alot, and next time I think I will do even better.

So that brings me to now. I had a wonderful month in May! If my next 5 months were like May I would be completely happy. However, I have a new challenge, how do I balance family and business. I found myself being very work focused the last couple of months and now I have multiple family obligations and I am struggling to focus at all on my business. I guess I have to accept that NOW is my family time and keep planting as many seeds as possible so that when I have more time, I will have parties booked.

My favorite part of my Barefoot Parties experience so far is all of the growth I continue to experience. As I grow in experience and confidence I know my business will continue to grow. I can't wait to see where it takes me.

Tomorrow is the big day. I am a vendor for an event in Newport Beach. So far I have my products together. I have 100 catalogs to hand out and I think I have everything I need for a successful evening. The night is going to be amazing. I can't wait to share the Barefoot Parties opportunity and products. I will let you know how it goes...

Planting Seeds

So much has happened since I last blogged. I have grown in confidence and ambition in my business. My big news is I am going to be a vendor at Bridal Bliss in Newport Beach. Spa Gregories is sponsoring the event and it is going to be wonderful. I will have an opportunity to meet over 100 women and share Barefoot Parties with them.

So my challenge this week is to figure out what Barefoot Parties is to me and how to comunicate that to those hundred plus women. My goal is to book 10 parties, sell $1000 in product and sponsor 3 consultants or more!! :)

Challenges

I find that it is difficult for me to blog when I am feeling challenged. But maybe that is when I should be blogging the most.

I had a fantastic party when my sponsor came to help me. She is a very positive and supportive person, so it was great to have her there. Then came the waiting. I don't have any parties scheduled until the 26th and sometimes I get concerned that I am not doing enough. The fearful voice in my head starts thinking that maybe I won't get another party, or it won't amount to what I was hoping. Can I really do this??

When positive thinking wasn't calming the fears I decided to just do something, anything to move forward. I listened to tele-classes online with information about how to build your company and I read even more about the products and company. And now I have to say I am feeling better. I have 1 party coming up soon and 2 in the planning process. I know I can make this work. I love this company and it's products and I will keep taking one step at a time until I am as prosperous and successful as I am dreaming I will be. :)

More Exciting Experiences

I really cannot express how much fun this business has been so far. I have been a consultant for probably six other direct sales companies in my life and have never had such a good time. Saturday I had my first "official" party. We had a wonderful time and I met some very inspirational women. I left the party with more energy than I came with. There is really nothing like spending time with friends and earning money and life experience in the process.


This Friday I have another party scheduled and my sponsor is going to be there with me. I can't wait. My goal for this party is to be confident and relaxed. I know that if I do that the rest will take care of itself!

Dream Big!!!!!

My first real party!

The time is coming for my first real party. I am finding that I go back an forth between excitement and overwhelming fear. I have been reading everything I can about Barefoot Parties and am almost finished with Lisa Hammonds book Dream Big. It has been challenging to sleep nights because I find myself going over what I want to say at the party in my head. I want to just trust that the words will come. I guess we will see.

The Fear Sets In

Every once in awhile I start to think, " Can I really do this?"," What if I fail?","How am I going to get people to host parties??". This is a huge step for me. I believe in this company so much and I want this to be successful, and sometimes it seems so scary.

But I feel like I have so much to gain from this. So I am just going to take one step at a time and keep moving. :)
