Did I say I wasn't going to blog after boot camp???

Well I just had to let Ginny and Jacki know that the lessons of the boot are at work.

Over the weekend I gathered half a dozen leads and sent emails.

Today I called them.

Always a wrong or not in service number or two.

but...
I did talk with three (left a message for a fourth) and two are interested enough to talk again and one asked that I resend the email ... which I have done.

Looking forward to building....

2-13 Friday

A day to claim lessons

a night to march into the future

More time to do a little less and do it all better

Can you believe boot camp is officially over in two more days???

Life is and has been so full.

Yet, totally clearing the deck for this time would have been unrealistic.

The best is that some combined lessons have been shared (learned?) relating to individuals, non-profits, schools, businesses, etc. Much has been tried and adjusted and refined which will truly make the life beyond boot camp more profitable and productive.

This one week has had adjustments to extractions, partials, and hour-long travels; H&R Block for taxes; and tomorrow will be Social Security for receiving payments (though I've been paying for Medicare [required] prior to this already). Plus the regular six-day-a-week schedule from 2 am with work until 1 pm.

This is the life into which and through which TWCCTW and MPM and World Changers fill every available moment and reach out to truly ---CTW.

Thanks everybody for your participation; Jacki for your leadership; Ginny, our CEO, for always having another idea for developing and enriching all we have to offer; and Dr. Bob for being the
wind beneath my wings for these many years.

The contacts newly made and emailed today are but a small part.
What we do "tomorrow" with all we've got will make the difference (for ourselves and for many others as we help non-profits to do all they wish to do to help others).

All the best to you all....

and the blog for today is: We're Headed For Valentine's Day
or you can put the apostrophe after the s if you have more than one

Today was spent with H & R Block doing taxes for federal and state.

Still managed to send out 5 contact emails encouraging them to become World Changers.

Anybody want a bad set of teeth???

Friday a scheduled trip to Green Bay and again today for adjustment to extractions and partials (extractions mostly are watched for healing).

Still awaiting are five fillings and a deep cleaning...
and
someplace in there my dentist is going on maternity leave
then
down the road these continually adjusted temporary partials will be replaced with permanent.

So here I am with email contacts and no follow up calls
but
if I remember correctly, we have two calls tonight,
WCRBC at 7 central and Ginny at 8

Catch you all on the airwaves....

Today was especially busy on the home circuit.
Did manage to get emails out to five contacts.

Tomorrow looks even busier with another hour out of town plus an hour coming back.

Who said something like:
"When you've done all you can do, that's all you can do."

Keep on truckin'
Blog you again soon

Greetings,
after 15 calls today, I have a gentleman ready to look at my email and our site.
"We will be in touch again tomorrow, I anticipate.

Double calls this evening but only for a couple more weeks.
The conflict will be gone but the need to stay in touch won't.
Our calls are important for info exchange and some motivational challenge.

Greetings
Feeling a great deal better today -- hope it holds and improves.
With determination to do...
Got five new contacts
and
actually made eleven follow up calls
as always...
there were some unavailable (5)
three got messages left
two asked to have me call later today (after 5)
and one asked for contact tomorrow

Progress for me
now we shall see about progress for new folks as well.

Thanks for your care and concern.
I'm not out of the woods yet.
I have another appointment this Friday afternoon.

for today, tomorrow and the days ahead...
as they say, "On with the show!"

These extractions and partials have wiped me out.
All I can do is sleep.
I'll try again tomorrow.

Jan 30

Greetings,
I can see why the Extractor and staff want people to be off work for 48 hours.
I worked yesterday and today.
Today I have felt exhausted - tired and sleepy at work and no sooner did I get home than I fell asleep for four hours...
so
here I am today with only one contact
yes, I sent an email

no, I haven't the energy for anything else ---- except some recuperation

May all your days be merry and bright
certainly it's white (with huge banks of snow)

Jan 29 follow ups

I've come back to follow up on my most recent contacts.

I've ended up with four calls which included:
one that rang forever and didn't get answered or go to an answering machine
one that is a wrong number
but
there were two where I left a message
one on a message system
the second on a personal answering machine where the gentleman announced himself and suggested that he would call back

That's about the ratio of various responses encountered before.
Not disappointing
Just indicative of the need for on-going attempts and contact follow ups.

We have the greatest program available in our current and developing World Changer Mall.
No trouble bragging on it and loving to have interested people give serious consideration.

Jan 29

Greetings as we approach the end of January...

Yesterday included three tooth extractions and upper and lower partials in place.

The travel is an hour each way.

The work day starts with getting out of bed at 2 am
I leave the "job" work-place at 1 pm
Get home, have lunch, turn on the TWCCTW computer... and it's approaching 2 pm

This whole dental plan toward getting some grinders requires travel to and from Green Bay.
an hour each way...
plus a bit of wait time on the site
Then the actual time in the "chair" of attention with doctors and assistants gets added in...

and last night a voice said "How many teeth does that man have?"
So, my co-worker, it's not the number of teeth but what needs to be done and all the peripherals that take (1) too much travel, (2) too much time away from WCRBC (3) add their own brand of pain and aggravation, etc.

While, I continue to get contacts, ...the notes above relate the difficulty in time for follow-up.
That's with an 8 pm bed-time so that 6 hours later I can do it all again.

And not being able to follow-up as I would like has me contemplating adjustments for the future. Practicalities that will incorporate the many things tried and learned through this great opportunity called boot camp will be put to work.

I'm glad for what I'm learning and have learned. I see plans for steady progress in the future.
Thanks to Ginny and Jacki for all they have put into WCRBC.

I still look forward to a day without a "j-o-b" or with a lot fewer hours so that I can more closely emulate the co-workers who can give their day primarily to TWCCTW. Hooray!!!!

So... on with the show. Keep pressing on. Keep the eye on the goal and the shoulder to the grind stone.

and bless you all
our World Changer is the best we've ever offered

Jan 27

from the frozen north
where lined slacks aren't enough
and heated vests can't do it all

but a few new contacts warm the heart and the spirit

in a world that goes racing by
all too busy
but really needing our WCMall and the grocery and gas rebates
and
needing the encouragements of SBIY

we have "bread for the hungry"
as Mordecai told Esther
"you've come to the kingdom for such a time as this"

Jan 26

Today we started at +1 and wind chill of -20
another couple days like this
and then the weather channel shows
four days of snow starting Thurs.

Dress warmly children...

Judy has been doctoring and not improving
Whoever reads this -- please add some prayers for her recovery
from a cold and cough that keeps her awake (even after some of that knock0ut nite stuff)

When she misses church like yesterday, we know she's really under the weather.

I keep going to the J O B
Making some contacts
Had one I thought to get into our Merchants Program but no one of our 150,000 will ever find the business without some upgrades (suggested to Management team).

On with the show.
Would like to hear from those bringing merchants on.

Stay warm

Jan 23

What a busy day!!!

Work from 3:30 am to 1 pm; gather a truck full of boxes to pack food for the local Share Food program; take Judy to Emergency Care Clinic; then to pharmacy for meds and the grocery for yogurt (med. supplement); grab a gift sandwich; and here I am after 6 pm.

Also did squeeze in emails to 4 contacts. As much as this is essential to WCRBC and my personal mall account future, life and a full-time job sometimes make this difficult.

I continue to update ($300 grocery rebate) and tweak my email sent to contacts to draw them to the site and to sign up.

Certainly the grocery and gas rebates are a great plus!!!!
How can anyone pass by the awesome offer of a World Changer Mall???

Looking forward....

Greetings from the land of lethe

To get my contacts today, I pulled a couple from early in January (not yet noted).

Work and helping our favorite NPO today have been the focus and I believe that is exactly why TWCCTW exists.

On with the show....

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

Jan 21

A busy day - health for me and my wife seems not to be improving - severe colds and coughing.

Also busy with editing a newsletter and doing shopping Judy can't do right now.

Still got 4 contacts today.

The Beatles wanted "8 days a week"
and I could use all of those to be about 36 hours each.

Press on
Persevere
Do all we can do each day

from many days past ... this note quoting Ginny...

"The choices I make today will determine the rest of my life!"
and
"My life is what I make it. What am I going to do?!!!"

Have a great tomorrow

Jan 20 Inauguration Day for Pres. Obama

What an historic day for all of us in these United States!!!!
From Kenya to Hawaii and around the world people have watched and cheered.

(Though Gannett, Republican owner of the Green Bay Press Gazette, printed the front page in black for this man of the people, who just happens to be a Democrat.)

So there is history
and
there is WCRBC moving forward...
and
today there are five more contacts...
and
tomorrow we will be a step closer to each goal for the future of each of us and TWCCTW !!!

Blessings upon each (person and goal)

Today hasn't been much for new contacts
BUT...
It was pretty good for follow up calls.

I was able to make 19 such calls.
always there seem to be some bad numbers
but...
I left 8 messages
and
actually had 4 live folks on the receiving end
and
two of those wanted to see the link again and then touch base again.

So... seems like quite a plus type day.

Hi
It's been a busy day -- at work 3:30 am until 1 pm -- and then the afternoon at church taking down the Christmas and Epiphany displays of Fontanini figures.

Still working on the five contacts. . . expect to complete / accomplish all five.

As I saw on a shirt: "What I really need are Minions"

Any volunteers?????

Thanks and have a great day / evening....

Have a great day!

Happy New Year to all
and
on the eve of Epiphany our house commemorates the visit of the Wise Men to the house where the star led them to worship the Christ, the Messiah.

Health wise we struggle with the Northern cold and colds but it's been a good day for three contacts and a good fresh start with our World Changer outreach. and now the other two to make the five of our daily commitment.

It's the best possible Mall set up one can ask for with Someone Believes In You and the gasoline rebates and our 1100 stores.

Not hard to encourage this option for any and all.

Blessings to each of you throughout the new year.
