Hello, World!
It's been a few days since I updated you here, so I figured I would. LOL
We have now been in "shelter in place" measures for a month. It has taken a toll on the business where I work, but I see small signs that people are getting bored. We actually are picking up a little bit on some nights. Other nights just drag by...
It's so slow, that we have had to keep our meats in the freezer to be pulled as needed, because even in the refrigerator, the meat does not last and starts to go bad. We don't prep anything except on an as-needed bases, and we stopped selling grits because not enough people order them and it takes too long to make them on an as-needed bases.
We even stopped making tea. But, I found a way around that. I am not going all night without a glass of tea. So rather than make the regular 5 gallons we usually make, I make one gallon and put it in the refrigerator. If it don't sell, I drink it. LOL
This whole situation has made me appreciate the small business owner who is struggling. If it weren't for the new bills that Congress is enacting to help them, I know I would not be working right now, and I really appreciate it.
I had been afraid of selling Avon, because I didn't know if I would get into trouble doing it. BUT, we had a meeting last night on Zoom (a video conference website) and my Upline Leader, Miss Dana, said that we, at Avon, are ESSENTIAL. We sell essential products, so we can continue to sell as needed.
She encouraged us to "think outside the box" during these trying times, and gave us a lot of great ideas on how to go about it. We each shared our own experiences and ideas, and things that work for us. And, I am now highly motivated again!
I will be doing a live video soon to show off my bucket sale items. I am looking forward to it! AND, I think some of these ideas will be things that I will continue to do once we get back to "normal". In the meantime, nothing is stopping me from making sales ONLINE, so ya'll make sure to visit my store!
Also, I've been updating "The Ponder News" a lot more. I've just about got all of my sources arranged in one place so I can work more efficiently to that end. Ya'll make sure to visit to see what those in "the know" are doing that effects YOU as a citizen of this great country! And, make sure to join the Facebook group to stay updated when new news items are posted!
Ya'll have a blessed day! (And, remember, in spite of all this, we all ARE still blessed!)
