Susan, you did a fine job moderating the Miracle Team call first thing this morning, in spite of the lag time and echo ;-). Thank YOU for taking the reigns so beautifully!
It was great to hear from everyone. The most powerful part of the call for me was having Adrian's "Been There Done That" Chairman in his office, and Adrian's request to allow this man to speak to anyone to have questions answered. Frank was on the line, and so, he said hello and thus was born a wonderful exchange between the two men. I especially liked how Frank describes our company:
---We level the playing field; anyone can do this business
---We're mission driven rather than profit driven
---We pay you to participate as a World Changer; and for all your shopping --- shop for your needs first; then shop for your wants 2nd.
Thank you Adrian and Frank (and Mr. Chairman). That was wonderful to be a "fly on the wall".
Big Z had his last day of Potter School and had a great time. Yesterday he made sleeping potion; today he made healing salve. He has his very own cauldron now ;-).
Z's Dad was a little late this morning, and then a had a client that was a lot late. This threw my day off and I ended up being a bit out of sync for the rest of the day, but still made progress.
I had a pick-me-up visit with a fellow Boot Camper and it was good to hear my own words coming out of my mouth to remind myself of all that I've learned over the years . . . little sayings, tricks, tips, info, inspiration, strategy, trick-the-mind kind of stuff. So, thank you for being my mirror and reflecting back to me messages I need to hear and be reminded of.
I got out of the house after attending to my flyers and info and knocked on neighbor's door, met a window salesperson, went to the USPS, visited with another neighbor. I yielded a contact and a card out. I wanted to be sure to be here for evening follow-up calls so I opted to use some local leads I've never contacted to boost my numbers.
I made follow-up calls and was a bit bummed to find one of my contacts having a bad number. It's not the bad number that's disappointing; it's that we had such a lovely conversation and to not have the correct number (she wrote it down) feels like she didn't trust me after all.
I connected with the Dr. He was honest in saying he only gave us his info because he never wants to shut anyone down. He's not viewed info since he has company, he just went back to work, and it's summer (we in WA love summer 'cause it's the best time of year!). I updated him on the Solar Oven Project and gave him the time frame for our fund-raising project. He said he still wanted to do his due diligence, but it was clear that he's really not interested. He does, however, have a stack of new medical bills from his accident and he's losing revenue since he can't perform surgery. Maybe he'll change his mind ;-). I thanked him for his kindness, his honesty, and read to him his statement of service from his website. He thanked me for that since he hasn't read it in a long, long time. Fall is a better time to talk to him when family activities slow down. I sent him a follow-up email with current info on the solar oven factory project, and so he'd have the information more handy in his inbox.

I had a few conversations with folks I was hopeful in gaining permission to share more, but no. I sent out follow-up emails and gave more follow-up calls. No news is good news.
I remembered today I have contact information for the fundraising person at my credit union. I'm going to find her number (in a stack of papers) and give her a call.
I have healing clients the next few days and hope to keep an even footing in gaining new contacts, and in my follow-ups. I still have a stack of Miracle Team Leads that are begging for my contact after our interviews ;-).
I wish you all a wonderful night's rest, and a powerful end to your week. I'll see you bright and shiny early on Live Chat tomorrow.
