Training Day

Training Day, it's not just an action flick, it WAS my weekend plan.

I am not usually the one who is up to doing corporate training days. But I guess it's different when you are your own corporation, because somehow I was really excited about the day long training I signed up for this Saturday. So imagine my let down when I opened my e-mail today and saw that the event was cancelled.

It was like the let down from Christmas, no glow, just the bummer that it can't still be a party the next day (unless you're Brittish, then you get boxing day).

Ever since we made this big move to Hawaii, I have felt a lack of drive for my business out here.  Probably because I am lonely and missing home, but moving on.  I was super excited to go and hang out with other Arbonne Consultants and fill up on targeted training. But since that summit was cancelled, I now have two options. Be bummed and further put off, or be stoked that if there wasn't a big enough enrollment, that means I have more than enough room to grow!

The tough part about network marketing is not the sales, it's the courage quotient. With a great product (or products) like Arbonne it's easy because the product "sells" itself! Building this business, for me, is much more about education, options, healthy alternatives, and relationships. But that is where the hitch in my giddy-up comes from in HI. I have to find a way to meet people/tell people what I love to do, not just what my JOB is! This in person summit, I feel, was going to help equip me to get over my fears.

Now in all fairness, the training didn't disappear, it just relocated - to the phone. I am still amped to get going, now three days early, and I happen to have an event planned for that same day, so I will definitely be busy! I guess I just don't like to be bored...it saps my energy.

Not having this in-person training go through just showed me how passionate I am about succeeding in Arbonne. And how excited I am for this.  Besides the amount of freedom that being my own boss will eventually provide for me, it will also let me stay home, play with my baby (when he arrives) and educate people (and myself...I miss you school)!!

So I have decided to move forward. In conversations with my gal-pals today, I encouraged both of them not to be passive observers in their lives, but to continue growing, be involved, and make healthy decisions for themselves and their lives. That was when I realized that this HI holding pattern I have been in isn't really helping me. Though it isn't "hurting" me, it definitely isn't pushing me toward my goals, and I want to achieve my goals.

Geographical Change

Again, it's been a while (kinda failed at that keeping up with the blog thing)...But I've been busy.

As it turns out, the hubby and I are moving to Hawai'i.  His job is changing and as a result, so is our address!

Life has been filled with the stress of moving in a very short time frame, making sure the dog is going to be able to come, finding a place, selling cars, training for new jobs and all the while still staying a normal...sane...person. I can't say I've been all that successful on the last part.

This is the last day before the craziness really kicks in, and the idea of a calm before the storm is a myth! It has been non-stop since the news came down, and I find myself MAJORLY overwhelmed.  The days that I am excited for this move are fewer and farther apart.  I know that everything will be fine, but the process is just SO tiring.

My workout regime has gone the way of my old clothes and stuff we don't absolutely need, and my diet has gone to the wind as well. Not sure how I'm going to handle all this change. I keep telling people that if I make it to the island in one piece I will relax, but I'm not sure that I will. At this point it is ALL a wait and see kind of situation. 

More to come...keep your fingers crossed.
