Hello everyone! I started mystery shopping last September. I can only do phone and online shops at the moment. I've had a little bit of a rough road but I've kept at it. I recently started noticing that shopping which I started as something to do and give me a little bit of extra cash, has helped my confidence. I was able to make phone calls for my husband with no problem. Before I would have had to rehearse what I was going to say before I would have gotten the courage to dial the phone number. Now I'm talking on the phone with much less anxiety!
I am also learning to forgive myself when I make small mistakes. I used to replay mistakes over and over in my head, but when I made a mistake yesterday on a shop, I was able to look at what I did wrong and make a mental note to be more careful in the future.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that mystery shopping has not only helped me earn some extra cash, but it has helped me in ways that I would have never thought of. I am very proud of myself for sticking with shopping and not giving up.
