Its just jitters.

I do Passion Parties and all it took was one party. and from that one party came another party then from that party came 3 parties and now my march is completely booked and I'm booking all the way into April!!!!

the Key is to visualize yourself SUCCEEDING. If you keep having negative thoughts and doubts it will produce negative results!

I wish you well

Well being that you seem comfortable with your choice, just hang in there and take things in strides. You will learn soon enough once you get your kit, how to attract customers.

Perhaps looking through your kit and seeing the possibilities will help relieve those jitters.

And you have your launch and a party already booked?!? That's excellent.

Just remember to sell yourself at your parties. Have fun. And ask, Ask, ASK for hosts at every opportunity!

Another vote for jitters.

You will be fine, and you'll be amazed how well it is going to go!

Ditto on the jitters!
One good party and some friends helping "spread the word" and you'll be off and running in no time.

Remember, your only job right now is to let everyone know what you do so they can help "hook you up" with new clients, hosts etc.

Finally, one piece of advice I like to give all my new team members is to give anything you get into one year. Give it your all and do your best for one soild year. I don't think you can really tell if a business is going to work out well until you've "ridden the wave" through the busier as well as the softer months. Once you've put that time in, turn around and look at where you've come from and make your decision at that point. I did exactuly that the first year I was in TS and were there times I was overwhelmed and felt like I was in "over my head?" You bet, but I promised myself I would give it a full year so hang in there, do your very best and see what can happen in 12 short months! :-)

I agree with all that is said. Yes, it's probably jitters. Once you get rolling, I think you'll do fine. And especially since you are doing romance parties, the women will get swept up in the fun they are having and will book their own too. That's definitely a party you need to experience and then you'll book.

Good luck!

Default Love the product and you'll be good

Most importantly you must love the the product. It'll really show if you are not 100% enthusiastic.

I totally understand your fears. I've learned that business seems to have ups and downs. I have not done any home parties with any of my companies yet though...and I'm considering joining a company where you mainly do parties as a way to earn! (I need to get out of the house ;-) But I wanted to have four parties booked before joining and have only gotten one "maybe" so far. Others have told me you just have to go and tell everyone you know that you are doing the parties and it will happen.

Good luck!!

Ali
