So I’m still a ways off from this goal (in terms of dollars, not regarding time-I could be a day away from it and have no idea of the “how” . . . that would be cool, to reach this tomorrow, but anyway,, I digress. . )
Today I made several Mary Kay sales. I used to support myself via Mary Kay, but since my husband and I bought and run a tanning/massage salon and I became a massage therapist, I haven’t had the time to make and hold appointments or facials and skin care classes. I was attempting to clear out all my inventory by selling it for less than I paid for it (to move it before it goes bad) and in the process, people have started requesting new items to sell. So the investment of what money I do have currently will turn around by next week. Pretty cool.
It’s a start. And I will start making & holding massage appointments in about a week and a half. That will help, although during the past year, the salon absorbed any money I would have made from massages to pay the rent and bills.
I believe the salon will turn around though. In fact, I know it will, and quickly. This will happen so we can show a profit and find a buyer. It’s in the cards for us. Our part is to continue to offer the level of service we would like (love, actually) to receive from the businesses we frequent, continue to know we are making the right decisions, and continue to make the right decisions. It’s easy to type, a little more challenging to actually do this, but definitely possible and probable.
So, today was one step toward acheiving this goal and I can hardly wait until I make the next step!
