Livin the Dream Yep Yep..

 I hooked up with a couple 'Event Coordinators' and found myself able to book up nearly every weekend this summer! We will be all over the county throughout the summer and well into the fall. Some are even Car shows! How exciting. 

 If you live local, mark your calendar and plan on coming out to meet us in person!

 Meanwhile, to help cover the entry fees, I've signed back up to a few 'mystery shops' and 'pricing audits'. No, you can't make a living mystery shopping. But getting paid $20 plus bucks for spending 20 minutes in a store. It helps. It helps cover the rising cost of gas and groceries. A few shops a week can pay the fees I need paid. 

We've bought the new 10 x 10 pop up. Set it up last weekend to make sure it was all there and no tears in the canopy. It looks nice. It even came with sand bag holders for the legs. We just need to buy one more bag of sand. I was able to fill 3 of the bags with the sand we bought last weekend. So my estimate was pretty darn close.

I also bought the small game rack to hold the 'cash and carry' games. If you've ever wanted to see the games up close and in person, events are a great way to play. I always try to have several choices in the ready to go section. I also have several 'demo's'. So you can see it before you order. 

Something fun we do at events is have a guest book. Everyone that signs in gets entered into a drawing to be our 'Guest Host' for the event. The winner receives all the 'Host awards' from the days sales. 

Pretty awesome, you can earn free games just by signing the book!! 

I also recruit for down line, while at events. 

If your looking for a way to supplement your income and combat the rising cost of EVERYTHING, becoming a "Playologist" might just be for you. 

Hosting parties is only one of the many ways to promote and sell the products. Our games are so engaging, they truly sell themselves. Your facebook friends, On line orders, participating in events and connecting with your local schools make for a great clientele.

You can build your business quickly or take your time... Being self employed puts you in control of the schedule. 

A base of 25% commission adds up quickly and can lead into a solid second income. Some folks move up the ranks and end up leaving their 'real job' to 'Play full time'.! Earnings can reach over 40% commission as you build your team.  

I'm hoping to grow our team this year and end my working @ 76 for someone else. 

The freedom of self employment was too hard to give up

My Breaking Point

 I think I've reached my breaking point. 

My checks have been consistently short a few hours, more than they have been accurate. It gets made up later, it's just a bit of a hassle the way the schedule is constantly changing.

My co-workers quite often leave early - 'because it's slow', yet my shift has no provision for leaving early as it 'closes' the store. The option to come in later when 'it's slow' hasn't been offered. Usually because the others have 'left early' already.

I screwed up and didn't card ended up selling to a minor...

That has thrown my concentration off to start with ....

My truck was recently hit in the parking lot. I have disability parking, but because I'm 'an employee' they prefer I park out in the lot. I now have a huge dent to live with, as of course, no one has taken responsibility for it. 

Today I was informed that my schedule the next 2 days is being changed. When I was asked a week ago about changing these days up, I expressed how that didn't work for my schedule. Apparently that doesn't matter. 

I'm now looking at working 3 hours tomorrow and 11 hours on Thursday. 

Which is not going to happen. 

I cannot do that much in a day. And with my anxiety, all this constant changing my schedule is causing me to have other issues and relapses on the stress levels. 

I won't be getting much sleep tonight, the whole thing has me stressed out. I don't exactly want to quit, I the people I work with. I don't mind the work for the most part. But this crap is killing me, and I don't know how much more I can take. 

Let's not forget, part of my disability is the whole anxiety and what comes with it. The physical issues are struggling just about as much. I don't know how this is going to turn out, I'm just not feeling good about it all.

When I first started and again when I went back I was willing to give up a couple days a week. I'm currently at 4 and they want more. 

I so much prefer working for myself and doing events. I love people I love the customers, I miss the 'control' over my own environment.
