I've been having a semi-crappy couple of weeks. Last week was slow in general and this week I missed a day and that set me back. I keep a spreadsheet to see how much I'm making and averaging, etc. and compared to the last two months I was way down. That kind of thing gets into my head and I start thinking I've lost my touch or something (it could never just be an off week, it must be me,).
This type of thing always gets me when customers speculate on our earnings, i.e. "Oh, you girls make thousands of dollars a week blah blah blah." People really have the impression that we pull in so much cash. Sure, we do well or we wouldn't be in the business, but cracking those $500, $1000, $1500 marks are challenging even for the best of us. And if we get down about our potential it makes it worse because we wear that doubt like a thigh full of cellulite.
It's hard to get back to making bank when you haven't done well for a couple of weeks, at least for me. I can give myself all the little pep talks, but until that cash starts to show itself I can hardly be convinced.
Tonight was great, so I'm hoping I got my mojo back. I sure needed a kickstart though. Whew. Hope you all had a prosperous evening!
