STAGE 1
EXCITEMENT At this stage a consultant is excited about the future and possibilities of her Mary Kay career! This is where we always want to be! |
STAGE 2
FRUSTRATION Postponements Obstacles "Why won't my friends and family book with me?" |
STAGE 3
SHOCK "They said it would be SO EASY!" |
STAGE 4
DENIAL You decide to withdraw. You avoid your meetings. You cook every recipe you can from Pinterest and start to craft on the weekends. Your attitude really starts to go south. |
STAGE 5
FEAR I can't do this. Maybe this isn't for me? They didn't tell me it would be like THIS! You start to blame everyone else but yourself...your recruiter, your kids, your husband...you name it...it's their fault, not yours. |
STAGE 6
ANGER You get angry at yourself. You admit and recognize that your feelings are not positive. You realize you are responsible for your own success or failures! |
STAGE 7
SETTLE I never wanted my own business anyway. I actually love my other job because it's pretty fulfilling. The hours aren't even that bad. I mean, eventually someday we will have that down payment for a home. So you decide to QUIT and walk away from your dreams. |
STAGE 8
RE-COMMIT You realize it's not like me to give up on my goals OR get discouraged. You decide to get excited again! You send positive messages to the brain and become realistic with your expectations! You get back to your success meetings and open your mind to the possibility of success again! |
