One step at a time

Its been a while since I blogged last. Time has just gotten ahead of me and here it is October already. A lot of things have gone on in the past 2 months. My J.O.B as my director Patty calls it, takes up like 90% of my time and life  just seems to happen around that. It gets frustrating finding time to fit MK into my life. But I haven't given up and I won't, I am continually reminded about the successful women who lead me and coach me to grow and become the best consultant I can be. And I know that my success is not dependent on them but on myself. I sat here today after a long day at the J.O.B feeling hopeless and defeated. I had to send in last months totals of my success into my director last night, realizing I had let the month gone by and I haven't met my goals for the month again. Other factors of life are also currently weighing me down, hence why I'm blogging to get something off my chest.
I spoke with a friend last night about how defeated I feel and he reminded me that I have to continue to get up and spread the word about my MK business. Becoming a successful women in the world of Mary Kay isn't just going to happen over night, and many women just as my directors, and Mary Kay Ash herself had many pitfalls and hurdles they had to overcome to continue moving forward to get where they are.  Women just aren't going to walk up to me and automatically know that I, Megan Lloyd, sell MK. Success is dependent upon my time and efforts, and I have nobody but myself to rely on in this entrepreneurial business. I wish that my takeoff in the MK world would have been better, but each and everyone of us has to work at our own pace. It is continually frustrating when you can see your self being successful and wanting something so bad but your not seeing the results. The only thing I can do is take a step back and re-evaluate what I've been doing. Entering the MK world has been extremely overwhelming for me. However I will say that I'm so happy to be apart of a company that offers such extensive training for their sales consultants. And I'm truly blessed to be apart of the Bojan Butterflies Unit.
These women are so much fun and I love being apart of such a great company with them.  But sometimes we have to take a step back and think about.... What is important? What needs to get done? How can I prioritize myself? and to remember to continually ask for help/ guidance/ assistance.  As Mary Kay always says its not about what MK can do for me, its about "what can I do for my customers", "how can I make them feel special". Success may not happen over night but I'm reminded to continue pushing forward one step at a time.
