The Frustration
Yesterday was great, introed my friend navid around to my company at the company cocktail hour, then went to practice, and then velvet lounge where i met sabo in person. today was starting out well until classtime approached, i knew that no one would show to class, aishia a volunteer is always up for taking belly dance which is cool, but i still fail to recruit paying students. and then a nagging voice entered my head and has not stopped and the pressure is ever increasing to explosive measures..."you're not out there enough" and im not

i feel like my routine is keeping me locked away from everyone. how am i supposed to recruit students? how do i get my name out there when all i do is dance on my own, teach a class to one person, and dance with a company of dancers who aren't full time dancers?! im REALLY upset, this is too much for one person to do. and im asking others to tell their friends about the class and that i belly dance, and i can do weddings, restaurants etc...but nothing EVER HAPPENDS. networking is just turning into this overtime job now. and its upsetting the hell out of me. i feel helpless. so all that crap is nagging me since 5pm.
