I try not to rub it in when I'm doing well but I sometimes like to drop by and let people know when things are on the upswing... and today has been good. Had a quickie, have a 45 minute booked in this afternoon, and a dinner date tonight. Assuming all goes to plan it should be a profitable day. Monday was a bit crap with only one hour booking in the evening. But Tuesday was four bookings. Yesterday was one long booking. Assuming I make something tomorrow, it's going to be a decent week.
But the hours I have to put in to make money are pretty long. I am trying to show up early and be ready early so as to not miss anything in the morning (as I did on Monday when I was out running errands.) I made money only by staying late and holding out for the call that I knew would eventually come in the evening. It's so easy to get discouraged and just pack it in early saying "I'll try again tomorrow." It takes a lot of will power to keep the "I'm sexy and available!" mood going until 8pm if nothing has happened all day.
