very random day..

Well...i am having an off day. Not sure how Will is doing as he is still at the sitter. Hope his day has gone better than mine. Do you or did you ever get the feeling that you are in the wrong job? I LOVE LOVE being a Personal Trainer but the place that I am at is starting to get me down. The lack of clients, the lack of marketing, is really discouraging and depressing. I am trying to stay positive b/c there is a new and exciting gym opening up soon and I am hoping to go there. There will be more walk in traffic and everyone will want to go to it. So..i am sucking it up. Have you ever had to do that, just deal? I hate doing that. But I will wait patiently b/c I know that there is a rainbow at the end of it all.

On another note, I am so excited b/c Dani's Duds is happening this weekend in Va. It is a huge consignment of upscale baby and kids clothes and toys. We all consign and then we shop. This i hate to say will be the highlight of my week! I cannot wait to shop for Will and get him some new clothes and toys. My sister and I are planning on getting there early b/c there is always a mad rush of moms wanting to bombard you. So I have my list and I am ready. Watch out moms, I am on a mission for Willsey Bubsy!

i have become addicted to Starbucks...every morning i am so excited to go and try a new coffee! i never drink coffee until about 2 months ago..now i am hooked!! i wish i was not but, i tell you it is so yummy!

will got his first real haircut the other night. he was starting to get a little shaggy. Lew did not want him to get it cut b/c he thinks it is bad luck to cut a baby's hair before their first bday. but by his first bday he probably would not be able to see. it turned out great and i think that we might be able to spike it again, only when we feel in the spiking mood.

TGIAF-Thank goodness its almost friday!

Don't you just love work?!

Well I have been back to work for over a month. The first week was bad. I missed Will so much, I would come home in tears. That's when I decided to only work part time.

We are a small personal training studio, brand new and let me just tell you business is SLOW! I have one client so far. So you can imagine how my days go. We have been doing a lot of marketing, i.e. postcards, door hangers, letters, take ones, going to various neighborhood events. You get the idea.

But for some reason, it has been really hard to get people in the door. So what do you think? Do you think the economy has something to do with this? Do people not want to spend extra money on themselves? Now let me tell you this, if you have never sought out a personal trainer, it is a specialty service. So either you know how much it cost or you are in total sticker shock. We only do 24-60 sessions and that is so that people obviously stay committed to their health. The cheapest package is $1700. I know I certainly could not afford it. But where we are located, they definitely can.

If you have any marketing ideas that I have not thought of, or any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Have a great Monday. You know what I am doing. Not training.
