It is when the
ceremonies are few and far between, the clients more of a pain than a joy, that
staying motivated will become a challenge. The few ceremonies become irksome in
as much as they cut into your weekend without much financial reward. You are
almost glad when the rare client rings you up and tells you that she has to
cancel the ceremony.
How do you get
out of this type of slump? Here are few things for you to remember and try.
Realize that
the attitude you have with yourself is actually working against you. Whether
you realize it or not, on an unconscious level you’re discouraging clients by
your lack of enthusiasm and self-disappointment.
1. Get
together with those people who are in your corner and will energise you with
their support. They don’t have to be necessarily other celebrants, but they
have to be people who believe in what you’re doing and admire you for it.
2. Keep a
diary of the good moments that you have had with satisfied clients. There seems
a tendency for people to hug to themselves all the unsatisfactory moments in
their lives, while failing to give themselves a pat over the highs in their
lives.
3. Always be
aware of why you got into the business of celebrancy in the first place.
Whether it was just the money, or being part of the great moments in other
people’s lives, keep that in mind when things aren’t going too well for you.
4. With the
above in mind, don’t get distracted with what other celebrants are doing if
what they’re doing is not what you became a celebrant for. Focus only on what
is meaningful for you.
5. To make
sure that you do focus on your own objectives, write them down in your diary
where you can see them every day. It is amazing how easily you can forget the
reason why you’re doing what you’re doing. Allow yourself to be reminded every
day of your life.
