Work At Home Family Talk Radio

Wow what a week!  I have made part of my goals for the month.  No telling what I’ve missed, but thats ok.  I am going to have a great March.  I made it to the store for the week and have purchased food for the boys, so can’t get much better at this point.  We are expecting 6 -12 inches of snow over night and have no plans for the weekend.  It should be exciting to be able to read and plan for the new month.

When parents start to plan their business strategy for the month, it probably is not best to wait for the last minute, but I think for me it works.  I have a number I need to hit by the end of December to be where I want and I will just have to divide it by 10.  That will give me goal one.  Goal 2 is simple.  Just add 2 new consultants a month and I am on track.  Now I just need to be tough.  So the other thing is to work on my meals for the month.  Oh well, so much for being a parent and hoping for a good year.  Have a great weekend and stay warm.

Oh how I wish I didn’t want to write this.  Today I am really having an off day.  I just can’t seem to get all my energy back after the surgery and I have had trouble eating.  So now I am just surviving.  I am short tempered and really don’t want to be.  I’m not even doing my business this week the way I planned.  So its time to pick myself up and dust off my pants.  One of the hardest things to do when you work at home can be just picking yourself off and forgiving yourself for having a down moment.  The problems start when you ignor it all and go into a depression.  Well it’s not going to happen here!  So I will find more folks to do my business and more who need to lose weight and help them all.  I am supermom and Wonderworker…. I will survive and make my goal for the year…..

Over the last few days, I have had good days and bad days.  A very good friend is trying to help us finish closing out our house back in Texas.  As with all good plans, that just didn’t work out they way we had planned.  After our daughter died and with the boys in the hospital so much, I just wanted a new and different house.  So we bought an older house in a small town outside of Dallas.  We had such wonderful plans for that house and the property.  We raised goats for a number of years and had a horse or two.  We had our dogs and a cat.  We hoped to one day take the property and subdivide it so we could put town houses on it so our 2 Down’s Children would not only have a place to live, but would also have an income.  Now the house has been vacant for 8 months and will be going back to the bank soon.  It just hurts to know that our dreams have faded and we are on a different path.

Often when our business doesn’t go away, we just want to let it all go back and pretend it never happened.  The month is almost over and I have yet to accomplish what I had hoped to this month.  So I just have to pick myself up and plan for the next month.  If I gave up at this point, I would have nothing to show for the hard work I have put in so far.  I think that is one thing that those of us who work from home tend to do.  We just quit instead of picking ourselves up and dusting off our butts or knees and just getting back at it.  So if your down today, think about what happened last week and start all over again.  This time next year, you will be so happy and surprised at how far you have come….

What a day, what a day!  I have a test to finish and I need to get some stuff done.  However, the kids are still awake and Thierry is at work, so I will need to pace myself.  That is one of the things that being a work at home parent is all about.  Learning to balance and hoping for the best.  I did get 2 interviews scheduled for next week and we are now getting ready to start making plans for interviews in May!! Oh my God, who would have thought it. 

So, what is my passion?  My passion is talking to folks about their business and also being a parent.  My other passion is helping people lose weight.  I am so proud of the fact that I personally have lost over 40 lbs and am still counting.  I am also proud of the fact that I have 13 shows on the internet now and going strong.  As to being a parent, I spoke to my son today and he hasn’t been accepted to the University that he wants.  The funny part is 3 years ago Momma said work on grades, sports may not always be around.  Well after blowing up and then calming down, he has decided to take a class to help him do better on his ACT score and then he will re-submit to the college for admission.  Maybe my baby is growing up.  Also, I spoke to Emily today and she will be turning 20 on Monday.  My baby is 20… so hard to believe.  Just wish they were all as proud for me to succeed with my business… have a great weekend and hug your kids….

My son is a senior in High School this year and every time I turn around there is another demand for money!  So where is the tree planted?  He recently blew the engine of his truck and it will cost $1200 for a new one.  His old truck which only needs a new radiator is sitting in the yard, but it’s not good enough.  Now we have prom coming up.  When I asked how much it was going to cost his reply was $500-$1000!  Did I miss something some where?  So being the horrible mother I am, I called the girlfriend who is very sweet and asked what the deal is.  She told me that nothing we set yet and that she had offered to pay for her ticket.  The tickets are $120 a person.  My GOD!!!  When I had my prom at the nicest hotel in Houston back in the stone age we barely paid anything and ZZ-Top even offered to play at our prom when the band we had backed out. 

I next called my daughter to see what the going cost for prom is back in Texas and after checking with a few friends said it should cost him between $250 and 300 depending on the flowers, the tux and if they are getting a limo?  A LIMO??? Ok, I’m old I admit it.  Now the fun begins how much do I give him?  How much can I make in the mean time?  I only need 9 more clients by the end of the month to make my goal.  When that comes through he will probably get $300 for prom and then we will give him money for his birthday to make up the shortage on the truck, but boy it just kills me to think what will happen when the Money Tree falls down!!!

Well today was the big day.  I went to the doctor and had the last of the stiches removed and I now have permission to drive and exercise.  I don’t have to go back to the doctor for 3 months!! I am so excited and to make it even better, I am down 31 pounds since I last saw the doctor!!

So I’m going  to be fine.  Now I have to concentrate on my business.  I have 4 consultants which was the goal through then end of  Febraury.  Now I have to focus  on getting 10 new clients by the end of the month.  So how does one go about getting new clients?  I think for now I will be advertising on the web and as I continue to lose weight with the plan I will be more confident about it all.  My husband has even gotten on the wagon and is now 22 lbs lighter in the last 3 weeks.  I’m so proud of him.  There are just so many plans out there and so many try to copy each other.  I went to an online party tonight and the topic was food and it was a plan similar to one I had previously heard about.  Not sure what makes this one better, but according to the hostess it is…  There are only a few companies I’ve found so far that are unique…  If anyone wants to be on a show in the future, let me know.  I am booked through the middle of April, but would love to get more done….

Just as an FYI, I am in the process of writing an e-book based on my years at Dallas Children’s Hospital.  I will let you all know when it is ready to go….  Well, time to check on the boys, they have the week off from school, so back to Mom duty

Well the kids are home and so is dad.  Such a differnece from the old country and the old ways, ie Texas.  It has been two weeks since I went to the hospital and I am dilegently trying to get back up and running.  This weeks show features Rose Dempsey who is with Avon.  I had no idea how much Avon had changed since my Mother was an Avon Lady back in the ’60’s. 

Passion is such a wonderful word and it can really make a difference in how you approach your life and your business.  I recently joined a group that I have a link to on the first page that helps you find prosperity.  The training is wonderful and the leader of the group is Kim H. Emerson who was guest early in the year.  If you would like more information on making ‘08 a better year, this is a great place to start.  While examining my passion, I have found that I enjoy my Talk show obviously, but I also have a desire to write.  So to make a long story short, I am going to be working on an ebook for parents facing the hospital with their children.  This is a topic close to my heart and I hope I can help other parents survive the experience.

Oh well, now on to more work and my needing to find 10 customers for the month of February for my Belly Buster Business.  To date, I have lost 30 lbs and my husband Thierry has lost 22 lbs on this program, so I do believe in it and find that it is very easy to do.  If you know anyone who needs to lose weight or wants to lose weight, have them contact me.  Take care and I’ll talk to all of you tomorrow.
