the two above you can not control, you cant control what your sponsor does and you can't control the time of the year... (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) therefore since you cant control it there is nothing for you to do. This is convient for people who make excuses. typically when you make excuses you are not looking to fix a problem. Instead like people group together and bitch about that damn summer slow down, even if it is still april/may.

yeah yeah yeah yeah..that has been knocked around all over the place.
But there are things that you haven't even began to address like how consumers are spending their money these days..the fact that consumer confidence is down and thusly so is their spending. Throw in the growing religious right's confidence in "flushing out the sinners" and you might actually be forced to open your eyes some that things have indeed changed in this country over the last few months, and that we all need to be aware of this.
Spending habits DO change. At least ENTERTAIN the possibility before you go jumping down people's throats simply because they want to discuss the situation. Good grief!

I don't know what IS the answer(s), I think you are just being a little too glib saying "it's your fault if sales are down and there is no other reason for it."
