Another AVON order day....

I woke up this morning and went to work. The routine is very familiar now and it is an endless cycle just as if I worked outside my home yet I have the benefit of being able to stay home with my two adorable little girls. What a gift that is! With a kindergartener and a soon-to-be preschooler, I know I have precious little time to keep them more to myself than letting them go out into the big-wide world.

I've been working on establishing better routines since I need to focus more energy on the business aspect instead of going so much just with the flow. There is real money to be made in AVON if you simply apply yourself and work it. Running specials to encourage my customers to take advantage of emailing me their orders is really starting to pay off. This allows me to spend a little less time on the phone with established customers and more time trying to pick up new customers. When orders are emailed to me, they are so much more easy to keep organized than if I have to go through my folder. Also, if I know they are sitting in my email box, I am better about getting them written up on order slips sooner than waiting until the last minute. I still need to create a balance and also would like to keep adding to my customer base. I would like to establish a more consistent brochure mailing list for my customers who live further away but that is difficult as money is tight right now as we adjust to only one income. I guess that a solution to that problem would be for me to establish a business budget and a goal of how much I need to earn each campaign in order to meet that and pay my bills.

There are so many projects that I am juggling right now that it is hard to know what to prioritize first. I really love writing too, and carving out writing time has been a huge challenge! I guess that I really need to work more on routines and make a consistent effort to block off times for each project. In order to do thatk, I will have to prioritize what I'd like to accomplish!

Well, it is really late....I guess getting to bed earlier would help me start my day off better too! :)

Here's to developing better habits....enabling to grow my business better! Another AVON order day....the earnings are consistent......now they just need to be beefed up!
