I had my first Wrap Party last night. Let me tell all of you that think it was super easy, you would be wrong. It was the hardest thing of my life. But then again this is a job, so it isn't going to be smooth sailing everyday. I will however say that I am glad to have such supportive up-lines and fellow distributors that are extremely encouraging.
So, let me just share my night with you:
I was super nervous the day leading up to it. I had went over all the information probably a hundred times because I wanted to make sure I did a really good job. My wonderful friend and enroller graciously gave me some of her stuff, so it would feel like I had done this a thousand times. I was also super excited too. I set up the night before just so I wouldn't be rushing to get it all done after work. I did a pretty bang up job if I can say that. I like organization maybe just a little too much. I even made snacks because what is a party without yummy snacks!
Party time rolls around and it turns out two of my friends come. It was a little bit of a bummer because it made me feel like I am not doing a great job, but I was glad that it was friends. This gave me the opportunity to practice and still talk about my passion for this company. Plus two is better than zero.
Unfortunately, I let my nerves get the better of me. I fumbled my way through the entire party. It was not one of my finer moments. I think I was more frustrated with myself that I kept stuttering and rushing. I couldn't find the word that I wanted to say. You would think that it would have been a breeze since it was my friends. Apparently, I would have been better off with a room full of strangers since I probably wouldn't have seen them again haha. I will say that I am very grateful to my friends for them coming out to support me. It meant a lot to me.
We are our own worst critics are we not? I am definitely hard on myself, and this is no difference.
I think it is because I watch the rest of my team doing so awesome and I haven't been able to do anything as stellar as they have that makes it worse for me. I am probably not as doing as horrible as it feels.
As you can see it is not as easy as it seems.
It was a rough night for me, but here is why I love this company so much:
I have my friend (who is my enroller and up-line) text me later that night to ask me how my party went. I was honest about how I was feeling, and she instantly just encouraged me and kept me thinking positive. Then today I had a fellow distributor who had been unable to come to my party, text me to see how it went as well. She also responded with a ton of encouragement. I love being a part of something were we are all looking out for each other. Where we are here for each other to help out whenever needed. I love being part of this company because of that reason. I love the friends that I am making through this company as well as sharing healthy lifestyle options with people. I just need to become a little more out going.
Laugh at me (no worries, I can take it), ask me about It Works, or join me on this crazy adventure.
Blessings,
Ali
