the countdown........
I feel like I have started the countdown to Stitches East now.  I had no idea I would feel so much pressure to get things done.  I also feel so unprepared.  I decided to do a little bio on myself to go in all the bags so I am trying to get my head around that.  I never know what to say about myself.  I know that I want to sound confident and successful, but I dont want to sound boastful because that is totally out of character for me.  I guess I should concentrate on the product and what I love about spinning and it will come across alright. 

I just feel like a minnow in the ocean with tuna or something..........I have terrible, terrible performance anxiety and big crowds are freaky to me, so this should be interesting.  And I say performance because I think selling is somewhat of a performance.  Fortunately I have Richard  he is a performer and can talk to anyone.........


This is some of this great long haired BFL that I have along with some colored fluff and a pretty novelty with glittery flags that dont really show up in the picture........


Well.......off to Michaels to get some packaging and ribbon and stuff........

Penny......

oh, i agree, selling is somewhat of a performance...and i don't think anyone ever feels totally prepared. it's like packing for a long trip...just when you think you're all ready to go, there's something else you need to throw in the bag. and then something else...
relax and take a deep breath, have fun with getting things ready, and you'll be great!!!

I think the most important thing about selling anything is to first off sell yourself (in a genuine and natural way). So you have no problems whatsoever because that is how you always come across. I've seen you do it many times without ever thinking about it. Monte

Monte's right...if you were selling brake pads or something bizarre just to make a buck, it could be weird. Just let your true, smiley self come out and you'll be just fine! XOXO Martie
