Another one saying sell... Some of you sound like broken records!

Each salon and market is different. You witnessed that first hand by coming to our salon and trying to sell Arbonne. After we dropped a good bit over $1000 on products you were unable to sell one item. We're still sitting on the majority of that product because it won't move in our market.

We each have the option of doing whatever we want with our salons; whether it’s taking a gamble on offering another product or service or attempting to trim work hours and expenses.

Telling someone they need to sell because you disagree with their thoughts or decisions is ridiculous. Should we sell because we made a bad investment in Arbonne?

I don't think so. I think it was a gamble that had the possibility of adding another source of income to our salon. It didn't work so we'll look for the next thing.

Cutting expenses does the same thing to your bottom line as adding income. If I can cut $1000 dollars in expenses and it costs me $500 in revenue I'm still up $500.

I think a lot of people miss the intangible ROI as well. What is it worth to have an extra day of not working/worrying about your salon? That doesn't add to you fiscal bottom line but adds a heap to your mental bank account....
