Oh my goodness! I know that God heard me last night and answered my prayer.
Today I promised to watch my grandchildren so my daughter and son-in-law could go out on a date this evening. This meant that I needed to get my Five contacts before dinner and if not, then I would have to go out again in the evening after my daughters date. I left the house at 2:30 this afternoon and stopped at a Day Care Center down the street...there was no interest at the front desk on this but the Director referred me to their Headquarters and I will be contacting them on Friday. Now I go on around the next corner to the little shopping center and go into the Furniture store and when the salesman asked me if I needed any help I said "actually yes I do, in two ways. First off I am a participant in a Reality Boot Camp looking for 10 people to work with in a business taking them up to $2000 per month within 60 days just buying your normal everyday needs like clothing, groceries, gasoline and by the way does your store accept American Express Cards? He said yes we do, so I said even furniture from your store, would you want to know how? His answer was sure, what is it about? I picked up from the Boot Camp Script at "well, I am practicing at not giving out the details because most people are not an experienced sales person like you and this helps to demonstrate the simplicity of talking about My Power Mall. I would like to give you an invitation card which has all my information, my blog and web site address....he no longer had the furniture style I was looking for but is going to see if they can get it for me and I left with my first contact. Off to the next store in this little strip mall...the Dollar Store. Not too many people here but they all were very involved in their shopping so I left and went on to the grocery store which was the busiest that I have ever seen in the last four months that we have been living here...oh yeah, it's the day before Thanksgiving...how could I forget that one. I learned quickly to just scan through and not even consider anyone who is in a hurry so I spot a gentleman with his little girl just kinda walking slowly down the isle so I said "Hi, my name is Susan and I am new to this community and if you have a minute, I really need to talk to Five people today for a reality boot camp. Could you be one of my Five? He said sure, so I continued with the script and he said this sounds good but I don't have an e-mail. I said ok I can still work with you without an e-mail address but I just couldn't officially count him as one of my Five contacts. When he gave me my FlipNotes back I looked at his information and smiled because he had included an e-mail address and said I could count him in. I continued walking around and found a lady using the same introduction, she said that she really wasn't interested in anything right now so I continued on and found another lady and began again with the same introduction and she said sure but that she didn't have an email address but she had a co-worker give me his information and I gave her my invitation card. Now by this time, it was really getting busy in the store so I decided to head on back outside to get my last two contacts. I walked past a Hair Salon and went inside and left there with another contact and I was able to get my last contact at the Insurance Office. Now, two people seemed to not want to give me their e-mail address but after letting them know that I couldn't count them as a contact, they gave me an e-mail address. I am so grateful to them that they did because I could now go home and make dinner and stay with my grandchildren for the evening and not have to go back out. This took me one hour and forty five minutes as I was back at our home by 4:15 and guess what! I am not brain exhausted and I just realized that my thought process was so focused on the fact that I had a short window of opportunity to get my contacts (that is because I didn't want to go back out in the late evening) that I just looked for people who did not seem to be in a hurry that I didn't have time to agonize and fret so I just blurted out Hi. I only talked to seven people this evening and getting Five contacts out of seven people is a whole new record for me in all the many years I have ever dabbled in a Home Based Business. I am still in awe over my accomplishment today. To say that I was excited when I got home is putting it mildly. My 15 year old daughter said, ok mom, you sound a little corny but I'm happy for you.
Ginny and Jacki, the words "Thank You" is not enough for what you both contribute to this Boot Camp, but I want to say it anyway. "Thank You" for everything you give and this is just the beginning! I was happy and content to sit at my desk making phone calls to leads and not really getting anywhere but now you have me going out to make a personal connection with people and while that is hard and mentally exhausting like the first two days, for the first time, I feel as if I am getting there. Actually, I'm not sure what it is that I am feeling, but it is in my bones, well maybe it is in my gut, you know something like a women's intuition or something like that. I'm not quit sure yet, all I know is that there is a change within me and I know something is about to happen. Now, I will start working on my follow up calls and e-mails and will share that with you later.
Have an awesome day on purpose!
