The key is Networking

I started working with Discovery Toys in January of this year. I gave it (what I thought then) a good try at getting a good start. I became very frustrated after a while of not getting the parties I wanted. I took off for convention in July to see what I had missed, and received a LOT of great tips for parties and keeping customers. The main thing about GETTING customers that I received was to keep trying and to DO ANYTHING.

Well, I discovered several different groups in my area that were made up of women doing the same thing I was. Trying to run their own business, from their homes primarily. It's great being able to talk out frustrations of being a work at home mom trying to run your own business with others in the same situation. Having the same business doesn't matter.

Thanks to these groups, I have now gotten more parties booked for October than I'd hoped to get. So what have I learned? To find people that are in the same boat and TALK to them. They'll help you feel better, give you pointers on what you might be missing, and maybe even give you the lead toward what you want!

Here are the links to some of these groups:
