Day 9 ----What a Day!

Booted up my s-l-o-w machine at 6:45 to get on Live Chat at 7:00 to join Nita. Near the end of my shift, we lost computer access and the numbers in the Chat system dropped and dropped. I'd never seen it so low. Then, got an IM from Nita saying that Owen alerted everyone that our systems were down. It's a rare event, and one you would expect to take awhile to get back up.

Nope. Not here. Our team is incredible. Within a very short amount of time (I'm guessing less than 15 minutes, but Owen knows), our systems were back up and running! Whoo-hoooo! Go, Team, Go! Owen, your team is incredible. Thank you! It's likely hardly anyone even noticed the issue.

We've got a company that addresses issues head on and Ginny is right up front with us. For better or worse, we use technology in our daily lives; it invariably will fail us.

The key for us to remember is having a positive attitude and looking for the best, remembering all the good that has come before the bad moment; and the good that follows a challenging moment.

As Ginny says, "Take lemons and make lemonade." (This week, I have a new appreciation for Ginny's analogy as my lemonades are really, really good!)

And also remember that it is with our patience and our acceptance of the situations we are given that will bring us through favorably.

Big Z got off to camp in fine fiddle, albeit a little sleepy from being up so late last night ;-). Hogwart's is a success and he's having a wonderful time.

I stuck to task and made a follow-up call to a young college graduate who was scheduled to view the World Changer. We connected and he wanted some additional info, so I sent it in an email and we'll talk again.

I followed up with a local contact at our appointed time; she was out, left a message with a person at the number.

I followed up with 15 local leads. My stack of leads is getting so big, I created a folder for them and organized them better. I did research on my doctor contact and by the looks of his practice, he is still working in his office in spite of his injured arm.

I had a connect with a wrong number that became a lead which led to a partial interview until her child fell down and we were disconnected. I tried her later and left a VM. I got other connects and folks haven't looked at info yet, and I left a number of voice mails.

I have a few folks that are only in after the work day, and I can see connecting with them may take a little dancing. Such as my guy from the dealership; we connected at appointed time, but we agreed on a little longer as he was tied up. When I called, I got his VM, but I trust we will connect another evening. He sounded engaging.

I followed up on a new member as promised since we were disconnected yesterday during our initial training.

I called my recent Reconnective Healing clients to check in with them.

I made follow-up calls to 26 CEM leads from Calling System testing time and was thrilled to get quite a few connects and a partial interview (her phone battery gave out) and a number of folks who loved the idea of getting paid to shop!

I followed up with 8 Miracle Team leads, called a friend I'm wanting to introduce to MPM, had a few conversations with MPM members.

Lastly, Big Z and I got out for a bike ride and some errands. We met a particularly interesting fellow at the grocery store. That conversation lasted 2 hours beginning at check out (More lemons; they are the excuse to shop these days!). His niece, age 12, goes around her community collecting toiletries for the homeless in AZ. She became Princess of the City and began by collecting soap and her charitable enterprise has grown. I can't wait to know more about this young woman. He's an inventor, a healer of sorts, and he even had on a fund-raising t-shirt for a local real estate company. He is excited to see about the solar ovens (how they are put together) and he has created a device that can pull water out of the air, purify it, and have it potable by morning.
