The Ultimate Incentive muddles along

Sounds like the classes are proving really popular, hopefully most people will stick at it. Lovely to hear you so positive!

fudged that one a bit, managed to set my course price as £8 rather than individual classes as £8, course as £48. Had to refund 4 people who had only booked single sessions. Ooops

I'd also like to point out that I'm not completely useless re 'listen to messages on both answerphones' being on my to do list. My ex was a controlling, abusive waste of skin and he would leave horrendous messages on my phone when he snapped, I've never quite got over the fear of listening to answerphone messages in case it's something horrible.

Thanks for all the well wishes for Evie. She is dong great thanks and flying around with her 'boot'.

Dinah - so wonderful to see such positive updates on here.

Not to be braggy, but hell I'm proud of what I've built - it's easy to be positive when there hasn't been a day in the last week where I've made under £500 in a day

New courses start tomorrow. I am sat planning tomorrows yoga shred workshop eating a chip butty. I'm aware of the irony. I have marketed and promoted and networked my !!! off for this term, and in return I've gone from 55 students to 168 students on weekly courses and another 80 booked onto workshops in January and February. If I sell no more course places (only a handful left) my income between now and 18th Feb when the next term starts is £8076.50. I need to take room hire off which will be approximately £700, and I've had to buy a bit more equipment (£280), but still can't call that a bad income for a 6 week period. Some of that has already come in in the last few weeks and has gotten us out of the hole of missing payments but at least £5000 is still to come. If I can't start to get ahead of our debts now I need my head examining. Just need to teach the 15 classes a week now... at least I've been wanting to loose weight, now I have no choice. I did manage to accidentally overbook 3 classes by one person each, not the end of the world but I'm terrified extra people will show up who have paid and I somehow missed off.

Bit the bullet and gave 90% of our 'to ebay' pile to mum or charity. It's not a good use of my time faffing on making £2 here and £3 there when I can put the same time into growing my business and making a lot more. Feels good to have those boxes not cluttering up the house anymore.

Brag away you are doing brilliant! Hopefully 2018 will be the year the tide turns for you

Thanks CMD, At least £2000 arrives in my account tomorrow, going to use it to get up to date with all payments that are behind or close to due then by the end of the week I should have another £1500-£2000 in the account to overpay

I agree brag away! You deserve things to go right for you.

I agree with the giving away stuff to charity rather than ebaying. You don't have loads of time and have found something more profitable.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. Mine has been quiet but spends have been low thankfully! Poppy had her dance classes yesterday and then they went out for dinner with their dad. Had a couple of friends pop over today so that was nice.

All accounts checked up to date and paid or slightly overpaid except 3 of NIMs as I don't have login details as they're all different. Will have to get him into them when he comes home.

Back to hospital today, operation tomorrow hopefully. My cover teacher for tonight is dependent on her daughter not going into labour, she's 40+5 so if it happens today I'll need to come back down and teach it myself.
