Let me give you guys the 4-1-1 on my spring/summer season. I had no excuses! Once I hosted my first few shows with friends it was a domino effect. I just had to say "if anyone here is interested in free clothes for their kiddos, I have my calendar with me." Right then...at every show, I scheduled another show. I traveled here, there and everywhere. I was working as a nurse on Friday and Saturday nights. I found that people wanted shows on the weekend...i could do Sunday that was it. I set up my calendar...I booked a show for every Sunday and Tuesday...2 a week. Several of my first few clients were in the McKinney area, 65miles away from me. So...I would schedule the shows on Sunday, early afternoon. Remember Cindy, my mentor? Well, she and her family opened their home to me every Sunday that I had a show in their area. I would drive there at 7am after I got off of work at the hospital and sleep in there guest room for a few hours. Then, up and off to the show! The first morning I stayed, it was like a bed and breakfast. When I woke up, Cindy had made me gourmet lunch! From here on out, their house became the Boyd Bed and Breakfast! Such an amazing family, so giving!
So...how did I do?? January was my first month in the business...I was #4! Holla! Really? Is it that easy?? Can I keep this up?? IDK, but this sure is fun!
