ARGH!
So it’s the end of the year and I’ve made SURE that I’ve told my clients that have inventory to be SURE they have counted it, yadda yadda yadda like the good Accountant I am.
Except.
I DIDN’T COUNT MY INVENTORY!!
Oh fer cryin’ out loud! What was I thinkin’ it was gonna count itself?! This isn’t a small feat – I have ALOT of inventory. Well, not as much as last year since I do sell – but there is definately inventory.
I should have thought of having a sale in December. Next year – that’s what I’ll do. I’ll have a:
PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME COUNT THIS sale. Whatcha think?! 30% off everything! Better remember that for next year. LOL Naw, I couldn’t discount it. That would be rediculas! But maybe having my open house for the holidays like I did a few years ago would be the best thing to do.
In case you are wondering what the heck I’m talking about, I am an Independent Mary Kay Consultant. We are distributors, and can either carry inventory or not. I choose the carry inventory for a reason. I mean WHO wants to wait for what they purchase? Not me, thus – inventory on hand in case someone is all out of mascara. Who’d wait for mascara?! Not me.
::sigh::
I know, complain complain. What a whiner.
To be real honest, I look at my stock and look at my customer’s history and I get all excited inside. I love my business. I love girl time. Yes, I know – laugh. But women getting together to play? Very nice. I miss it.
I haven’t been actively selling in well… a long time. So I don’t have new customer’s really. Only those I’ve had for years. Oh, I do get calls from folks doing searches in their area and I come up. So I get new folks that way and word of mouth. But I should be actively selling. Afterall, it’s a ton of fun.
What’s really funny is when I actually sell I don’t realize it. What I mean is I have a blast and then I get money. It’s weird coming home from a get together with money. I mean what kinda world do we live in anyway. I get money for something I love.
So why don’t I do it more?
Million dollar question right there. I think I will. Humph. I’ll go play. Try to stop me.
LOL Some girly time is just what I need.
If you are interested in what I’m talking about, you can certainly visit my Mary Kay site. I have one so folks can purchase through there easily.
Anyway, off to count my pink boxes and such. Wanna help?! hee hee
Love and light,
Mon
Yeah true. I don’t talk about it here. Maybe I will under a new category. MK comes out with new products all the time. Kinda like a featured product or something. Good idea!As for being allergic there are so many other products in the line that wouldn’t have those ingredients. Like the mascara, the lip gloss etc.Thanks for the thoughts! Good idea.

you should start another blog with Mary Kay reviews and things kind of like Beauty Dish http://beautydish.typepad.com/ok maybe not another blog – maybe another category inside this one
btw, I’d buy from you but I’m allergic to something in MK’s products
