Economy hitting me very hard...question...

[Gosbar C]

LOL I love your emoticon cheering section!

So, you've taken an action and you're noticing some stuff... people waiting, sitting on their resources... at the salon and elsewhere... sounds like you're noticing all the things you don't want!

Thinking on the topic of what you DO want, I'm curious... do you have some regulars who haven't slowed down? Can you reward them somehow? At the least, think of them, and their business with you, and how much you enjoy continuing to work with them. Can you acknowledge them when they come in next somehow?

Seems to me like putting energy into folks who have cut down is energy spent from a place of lack. That's very interesting to me to think about, because I'm sure I've made the same type of energy expenditure without realizing it.

Anyway, I'd like to hear you pumped up on possibility! Holiday gift certificates sound like a good topic... what do you want around that? What will the outcome be like? How good can you make yourself feel about it?

AND..you know, I never thought about rewarding the ones who are still coming in, because there are some...do you think it should be in a card or..any ideas?

Also, can you diversify a bit? I am swamped right now with chair gigs. My table work has been a bit slow, but I have more then made up for it by putting some energy into other ways to make massage income.
As said in the highly respected Kung Fu Panda, which I was forced to watch many times on all the flights that just took us back and forth to the Caribbean, " I am going to need more then universe juice to keep me going". So although I am thinking very positive and refuse to let the economic slowdown keep me down, I do realize the reality of some clients having less to spend. Therefore, chair work, spa parties whatever comes my way. Think about really opening up to whatever is out there waiting for you. You may need to shift a little from the norm. Try it!

LOL thanks. The funny thing is, I just went to my first Toastmasters meeting last week! For now I'll stick with motivational typing

Ooh sounds like a new thread... Ways to reward regular clients? Want to start it?
