I just signed up this week, and am putting in LOTS of hours trying to read, learn, and get everything ready to roll.



I'm not usually much of a night person, but all week I've been up 'til
after 1am, sitting here doing something concerning the business. I keep
telling myself I'll work on "just one more" thing, then I'll go to
bed--but I keep getting so many ideas that it's hard to make my brain
quiet down once I do get into bed. smileys/smiley5.gif



What kind of hours are you putting in? Does this wear off after awhile
and become "ho hum", or does the thrill of it all keep you buzzing
right along?



New "addict", just wondering...smileys/smiley36.gif

I do this often too, I look up and it is after midnight (for me that is late - lol!) Then I lie awake with a ton of things swimming in my head. I keep a notepad by the bed because I always get great ideas then.


You are definately an addict - smileys/smiley1.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif It is so much fun, who could call this working?? My husband calls it "playing on the computer" lol!

Hi Becky!

Sounds like you've got what I call the "Bella Bug"!smileys/smiley36.gif

When I first joined, I seriously didn't sleep for the first THREE nights- I
was too excited and spent all the spare time I could find reading, working
on my website, making lists, typing up letters, etc.. THREE NIGHTS!

I thought it was just me, but soon I began to hear the same testimonials
of sheer excitement driven all-night Mia Bella frenzy from my new team
members too. I think it's a common thing!

I am *still* driven, and often times find that I have to tear myself away
from my business when it's time to start dinner, or get my DD up from
her nap, etc. I just love my job and have a great time doing it! Typically,
I spend about 30-45 minutes during my DD's nap making followup calls
and calling leads. I also spend about an hour during the day working
with my team and sending out emails. Then if I didn't get the chance to
make calls during the day, or if I have some "hot" prospects or team
members who need to chat, I'll be on the phone for business about an
hour in the evening, not counting the two 1 hour training calls our team
does weekly. But you know what? It's all automatic, and I never really
considered this to be "work!"

Becky, it sounds like you've found your Dream Job too. And if you
continue to challenge yourself, and are constantly learning and growing
along with your business, that excitement will always be there.smileys/smiley2.gif

Welcome to the club! As Lori would say, repeat after me:

"My name is BECKY, and I am a MIA BELLA ADDICT!"smileys/smiley4.gif

Becky,
I did the same thing also. I have spent many a late nights up working on something with this business. I do have to pull myself away sometimes. lol........I will get a lot of ideas at night and then I'm too excited to sleep. It is so fun though. I just don't let my husband know exactly how many hours I do spend on here. lol...He wouldn't believe it. good luck,
Tammy

Hi Becky,


You are not the only one honey! I still spent many a nights up doing just one more thing! It is amazing how time passes by when you are doing something that you are so passionate about.


I am glad you are having fun!

I too spend all my studying & marketing. It really is building our own EMPIRES!!! There are way too many ways to do it & not enough time. I thought this was supposed to be part time! smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley17.gif

Doreen, you're not kidding about there just not being enough time to implement all the ideas!



Every once in awhile my dh will tell me that a day has dragged by---not
for me, that's for sure! The days just FLY by--that's why I'm up half
the night too, lol. smileys/smiley36.gif



And I'm just barely starting out. What is it like for those with BIG
businesses and lots of people under them? I hope somebody comes in here
and tells us about that.
