Friday of Thanksgiving week

Because I had the opportunity (working on Thanksgiving morning) a number of new contacts have been added. About 5 plus hours on Thanksgiving and again today. So even though I got a late start on Tuesday, the Lord has blessed me with a 5 a day total for the week of 25 (actually 26 - 1 to be listed on Monday though contact has already been made).

This in the midst of three lively grandchildren today and a houseful of 14 for dinner and the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day. I finally had to send a few home when it was getting past my bedtime (since I rose at 2 am today).

Additionally the Fontanini figures representing Gabriel's announcement to Mary that she was the chosen Mother of the Savior have been taken to church and set up for this weekend. More for each of the weeks ahead through Jan. 6 (Epiphany - the visit of the wise men).

Stress --- accompanied by my Charile Brown characters sweatshirt for a lighter touch.

I think there's a call tonight so will see about a break away from guests to join in. Wednesday night I cut out of the church service about 10 minutes before it ended so I could call in.

But you should have been in on Tuesday night. A table before me held two notebooks. My land phone with headset was on this call and my cell phone on the other ear at the same time was in on my long time favorite call with Dr. Bob. Believe it or not, I was able to listen to both calls and take appropriate notes on the separate calls on their respective notebooks, Glad it could work!!

Day 3 contacts

I am trying to play a bit of catch-up.
So: yesterday 6 contacts and today 8 more (that's almost enough for 5 for each of the first three days of this week.

I should find a way to enter them all in the report (it only has room for five at a time).

Hoping this continues and that some great sign-ups come from this prospecting, letters, calls, etc.

Looked at the letters Ginny put in the update today and got a couple more ideas for the near future.

My days are sooo short it seems with so much to do even after meeting these people and starting the follow-up. Though so far I've been able to gather "helpers" while at work.

11-25 update part 2

I've just finished creating a hello and intro letter with the link to my "foundation" mall and biz site.

I also just personalized it and sent it to each of today's six contacts.

Looking forward to tonight's call.

11-25 update

Nice to get Ginny's update with all 25+ of us listed. Due to my work schedule it's already 2:30 pm.
But the work schedule also produced a bean move of 5 plus 1 (after some serious prayer for openings before going to work at 3:15 am). Don't know about results yet but with name, email address and phone number there's bound to be some serious personal follow-up. ...and more prayer.
Today, while working on my wireless laptop, I happen to be wearing a sweat shirt that says: PRAYER The world's greatest wireless connection.
I'm grateful for Ginny and Jacki and their leadership. I'm grateful for answered prayers. And I'm sure that neither one would be worth much without some personal serious commitment to this whole boot camp experience.

11-24 summary

Day one and I'm still coming up to speed.
Jacki helped me get my blog started and here I am all on my own today.

I believe my late reception of emails and info has me about half a day behind.

Glad to be on Ginny's call tonight. Even a reasonable hour for an old coot who rises at 2:30 am.
I am however concerned that on Tuesday evening this will conflict with a very special - over the years - call with Dr. Bob. I may have to try two different phones with one in each ear. I would certainly hate to miss that old Bamboo and present Mastermind group and call.

I did get my beans and Ginny's call explained their use.

I also tried to create and print the WCM business cards and they printed solid black with only my two added lines in a faint and unreadable blue. Yet all other things are printing with proper color etc. Wonder if any others experience anything similar....

End Day 1

Introductory Remarks

This is a great beginning for a new chapter in the life of an old timer.

I’ve been part of this work and adventure since ITI, OTF, SFCD, minor Investor, My Power Mall, and now under the banner of Together We Can Change The World comes World Changer Mall and the personal outreach of Someone Believes In You.

The next 60 days are going to be exciting – filled with trepidation and a lot of work,

But the cause is great! We get to show 150,000 people and all future comers that the promise of rapid growth and income is real and doable.

That’s important because we all have special non-profits and favorite foundations that we want to help (as well as personal dreams or retirement income).

My link is to JAK’s Place, our local Mental Health Resource Center, under the parentage of our county National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Give us a look and sign up to help at http://www.mypowermall.com/Biz/Home/111636

As with many co-workers, I’ve spent lots of years with non-profits in Ontario, Canada, San Francisco, all over the internet, and now also in Wisconsin.

On behalf of me and my family (including Flora in Uganda) and our mission to JAK’s Place come along, encourage, cheer us on, employ all we are learning and doing for your own causes. May we all share in a great 60 days ahead!!!
