WAHM Blog

I decided last night to take the next few days off. I have been working pretty hard the last few weeks to build our residual income and I need a break. My website design business has been much slower  than normal so it has been great I could work with Mr. V on building our other business. AmeriPlan came out with a  new trainer program and we have really been trying to grow our team.

Last night was the 1st night Mr. V and I have actually been able to sit down together and hang out child free. All 4 kids were n bed by 8:20 last night and we cuddled up on the couch and watched some movies. It was so nice to not worry about customer, clients, and email for a few hours!

We watched PS I love you and First Sunday. P.S I love you was by far the best movie I have saw in a long time! I laughed and cried the entire movie. Actually cried for about 20 minutes once the movie was finally over. Very good movie! I am not normally into comedy/drama, but it was excellent.

Since Mothers Day is this weekend, maybe some of you can talk the hubby into watching a good Chick Click!

This weekend will be a mommy weekend! I feel like being pampered and spoiled a bit. HA HA No, on a serious note, we will be doing some stuff with the kids. It is in the 90’s here so we will probably go down to the beach and try to plan some outdoor activities.

I will try to keep up with the blog this weekend, if I can. But I will not be working at all. I need a break and need to spend some time with my kids. The last few weeks have been really busy and we have not had as much family time as normal. So I am sure my kids are really to have all of my attention for a few days!

For all of you that will be working this weekend I hope you have a successful weekend and make allot of money!

For all of my mom readers…Happy Mothers Day! Don’t forget your business can wait for you! So take some time and relax and enjoy your family this weekend!!

Yesterday was a horrible day for me. I was sick as heck and did not feel like moving. I hate being sick, not just because I get no work done, and I feel like a horrible mom when I am sick, but it really takes a toll on your body.

My family has been passing the flu around for weeks now, and it is my turn to get sick yet again!

I had 2 appointments yesterday…one with a current client and one with a potential client. When i woke up and my body hurt so bad I did not feel like moving and my migraine would not go away, I need there was no way I was working yesterday.

I called my client and explained to her I was very sick and we needed to reschedule our appointment. I could tell by her voice she was pissed. Now this is a good client business wise, she always has work for me, she pays right away and sends me allot of referalls.

But yesterday she was not happy at all that I was sick. I explained to her what was going on and told her I could do Friday. (I mean what is one day?)

She questioned me like I was lying to her. Why would I lye to a client who sends me massive amounts of work and is generally easy to work with?

I am not sure how hard it was for her to understand I get sick too.

The other potential client, was a complete jerk to me. He asked me what kind of business I was running. UMMM, the kind where if I am sick I do not have to work…I thought to myself. I explained to him I have been in business for years and have 100’s of happy clients. I do however from time to time get sick just like half of America.

Needless to say, I had two options.. Hang the phone up on him or tell him off. I did not want to be unprofessional and just tell him off and put him in place, but I did not want to just hang up on him either.

I had to make a quick decision, as the point for calling him was to reschedule our appt. not spend 20 minutes on the phone explaining why I was sick. So, I simply say Mr. Davis, I apologize I am not able to speak with you today. I will gladly give you a call tomorrow or I can direct you to someone who may be able to help you right now. He paused for a minute and said don;t bother.

I quickly hung the phone up, never even said ok or bye.  I was so frustrated I did not know what to say, but I knew if I did not hang up immediately I would have lost it and told him off.

My question to all of you is, how do you handle people who are just down right rude?
