My day began at 0600 with the Boot up of my computer and has been non-stop since then except for a lunch time out ;-).
My energy has been really good today. As I said on the Miracle Team Call this morning, my weekend provided nourishment, activity, rest and downtime that gave me a feeling of renewal.
I carried this through my day ~~~
Big Z got off to Camp just before I hopped on Customer Service for 2 1/2 hours. It was wonderful to hear John Crisp on the Family Chat tonight after being able to help him on my shift today --- Way to Go, John. Welcome back to My Power Mall ;-).
Now that Jacki is drinking green smoothies, why lemonades will be next ;-). LOL
Jacki, I told you this already, but I am so very, very proud of you for making this leap and taking action. How incredible to hear you haven't had your meds for three days! WOWee!
I didn't get my leads today in the conventional sense --- instead, my last 8 hours was devoted to the phone making follow-up calls, with follow-up emails occurring in the midst of it. My follow-ups leads ran the gamut, from old Peak Impact, to the leads for the testing system we used a few months ago (yes! still following up AND reaching people after 3-4th VM), the Fab 50 and the Miracle Team leads, and yes! my local contact leads. It adds up after awhile of being consistent ;-).
All told, I have 5 new contacts from a stack of local leads I have.
The followed up on 35 people and was happy for connects, whether it be new interviews or following up after interviews or connecting for the first time.
My stack of leads to follow-up with after interviews happens to have a lot of them on the east coast. My challenge--- many of my mornings are devoted to calls or Customer Service, so I find that by the day's end, I'm only able to get to a few a day before it's too late to call.
The good news is that I have so many folks in my local area and times zones, that I'm having plenty to keep me busy into the evening and am still not even getting all of them followed up with.
Isn't it GREAT to have TOO MANY people to SHARE our Business with????
YES!
It IS!
While on the Miracle Team call this morning, I was looking for my contact for my credit union. I haven't found her yet, and know her contact info is nearby ----however, I found a stack of sales letters I'd set aside for buying cars from local dealers, ad paks with local business advertising, and a stack of merchants and people I know who have a business. I pulled them all out, sorted through the ad pak and picked out who I wanted to approach, and kept the letters handy. I also included a few people I've spoken or worked with in the past to contact them, including old leads who either said yes or not to a former business of mine.
Did I have a chance to look at them again today?
Nope. But when I did have them in my hand, I was visualizing my approach to businesses and "dressing up" for the meeting. I am determined to speak to merchants in my community, even if I've heard in the past that our local community of businesses are tough to "break into" when it comes to networking --- Each time I visualize myself doing it, I'm creating the confidence I'll need to waltz through those doors.
I'm re-adding to my list the call to the market to confirm what I read in their forms you must fill out to get a fundraiser set up in their entryway --- they said none allowed in summer months --- and certain other times of the year.
Today I revisited a networking site for women that I joined in April. I've been working so diligently that I haven't really had the time to get in there. But as I'm also determined to get myself onto Facebook, etc . . . I knew that I needed to take advantage of what was already begun.
So, I upgraded my membership so that I could take advantage of a 6 week long tele-seminar course that is going to be provided (we can always learn more and more and more) and also to gain additional training, mentoring, and connection with other women.
While there, I joined a forum connected to a woman who's driven Big Rigs for years --- and posted to it (I took my Class A CDL course almost 2 years ago). And, I also uploaded one of the videos we bought from Lost Marble in the UK and wrote up a blurb about TWCCTW based, taking tidbits from our Miracle Team Training and including a link to the T-Day site and the TWCCTW song.
T-DAY ---http://www.togetherwecanchangetheworldday.com/home/25925
TWCCTW SONG ---http://www.togetherwecanchangetheworld.com/twcctwsong/25925
Tomorrow begins anew with Customer Service at 7 am, and two schedule follow-up calls directly after; and my dinner ---veggie soup --- sits waiting for me to fill my belly, a bit late tonight.
It's ALL good!
Ya'll have a blessed night's rest and we'll see you tomorrow.

Day 14 ----End of Week 2
"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-Anais Nin
Sunday became a day of reading, rest, and catching up on details that have slipped by in our personal lives. Big Z finished Book of Harry Potter and he finally got me reading Book 2 again. He encouraged, "You should really just start Book 7 before we have to take it back to the library, Mom." Now, how can I do that???
Our lives are filled with many blessings . . . and we are glad for them.
We wish you a week full of joy as you risk, as you blossom.

Day 13 ----Day Off Day
For the most part, today was a day-off day. It felt GREAT.
I did make one scheduled follow-up call and checked in on things . . .
But the rest of the day was devoted to "reasonable rewards" --- for the efforts given for the last 90 plus days. It's been a good and wonderful devotion to the growth of Big Z's Enterprise and our Foundation Malls, Big Z Gives Big and Giving Together Is Good.
I hiked to the top of a local mountain and enjoyed the beauty, the sights, the sounds, the delightful flight of the starlings, the ants busy at their work, the funny little bugs that liked to stick themselves to me, the sunshine, the f-r-e-e-d-o-m, my company . . .
Big Z and I also got to hang out on his bed while he read Harry Potter and I read a few paragraphs in a booklet and dozed. Much as he tried to get me to read HP, too, I just couldn't focus on it . . .
We then got out to visit a local lake and found it was full of folks celebrating a huge event, people from all over the country we found by reading all the license plates, so we settled on a little mountain lake. We cooled off and hung out on the beach; Big Z also attempted to catch the little fish with black tails. The larger fish with iridescent tails kept further in the depths and weren't so eager.
Ominous clouds rolled in over the mountains and threatened a storm. Within a short time, it did more than threaten! Lightning rolled across the sky and thunder boomed after it. Big Z looked at me, his eyes wide, and I said, "Time to go!" and more lightening lit up the sky. We packed up and got to the car and settled into the warm heat still remaining from the late afternoon sun.
He wanted to race the storm, but we found we didn't get far before the big booms sounded and big fat rain drops slapped the windshield. We drove very slowly and were surprised at all the weekend traffic. We drove by Big Z's old home he moved from last year when his Dad sold the house. We got home, showered up and ate homemade soup, and now, a bit of relaxation and bonding time before we hop into bed, our ears listening to the thunder and rain . . .
Hope you are all very, very well this evening.

Day 12 ---- Friday
Followed up with folks that are still in the funnel and expectantly awaiting our new team members to join with us and our mission with Together We Can Change The World~
Sending emails and e-cards. Will follow-up with some e-books this weekend for those that are not ready for the power of My Power Mall --- y.e.t.
Had two great clients and sessions today, had delightful weather, got to hug my boy, and make fresh veggie soup.
I'm looking forward to our weekend. Will be following up and connecting as we move through it.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone. And, celebrate Life!

End of the Typical Work Week
Typical?
Yes. Typical . . . Most people are out there working 9-5 Monday through Friday --- factor in commutes and you find people have little time at home, with themselves, or their families.
When you have a home-based business, your efforts and actions go towards creating your freedom --- freedom from the rat-race and someone else's clock. It doesn't happen overnight; success that is. It happens by taking a little bit of action towards your dreams every single day, no matter how small. Each day's action adds up to quite a lot of action, and, results will begin to appear, seemingly out of nowhere.
Big Z and I are seeing this in the growth of our team. Frank sees it in his team. We've been diligent and consistent for months now. In time, we shall have a snowball effect; we shall hit the 100th Monkey Effect; we shall ride our Prosperity Wave, and be able to have the water spray touch each and every person around us as if it were Golden drops of Abundance and Spiritual Energy. And, as those people see this golden spray lit up with the powerful energy of creation and abundance, they will be awe-struck, their jaws dropped, their eyes wide, and their hands lifted to receive. They will be given the gift of knowingness ---that they too can get to where we are going . . . F-R-E-E-D-O-M.
Each one of us, even when we press up against ourselves, our fears, our nay-sayers, and anything and anyone else that would stop us, must continue to hold our vision in front of us.
What's so wonderful about TWCCTW and the vision of our company is that it is so large and encompasses so much that it can serve as a springboard for your very own vision if you can't quite articulate it yet. Throw yourself behind our cause and sing the SONG --- "Together WE CAN Change The World".
Then, as you move along, you will find your own vision within the global vision. Personalize it; make it yours. Our vision comes back to our "why".
We want residual income that sustains our everyday needs and that provides for our wants and desires. We want to have flexibility in our time and still know our needs and wants are met. We want to know that at a moment's notice, we can be spontaneous and take a trip backpacking in the mountains for a week, travel to California to spend time with our family, travel to Virgina, Connecticut, Texas, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, and Ohio to see our friends and our extended family. How I'd love to go sweep my Grandfather away on a trip around the country so that he can see anything his heart desires before his time to leave this earth comes, sharing special time with Big Z and he, and anyone else who wanted to join us! We want to be able to give of our time and have ease about it. When our needs are met, it's so wonderful to give and give fully without the thought in your head, " . . . but I need to . . ." and instead have our thoughts totally focused in the now, in the delightful experience right in front of us. We want our time to be our own --- not tied to a clock and to the person that holds the purse-strings.
We want our lives to be increasingly rich in all areas of our lives --- physically, spiritually, mentally, psychologically, emotionally.
We want to be able to nurture our innate gifts and talents and share them with the world. Fortunately, Big Z is already taking piano. But Oh! what other delightful endeavors there are in this life! To taste fully of each one and become an expert if it fits our fancy, now that's what we're talking about.
How many of you get to live like this? Few . . .
Well, we're going to be one of the few that DO live with freedom and flexibility in our lives. With TWCCTW and MPM it is possible. We have a vehicle, and we're in the seat driving it, and it's not a haphazard trip either. We're following a map, a plan, laid out for us by the capable leaders of our company that have gone before us. All we have to do is have the "drive" (hey! that's an unexpected and good pun) within us to follow the map!
The Miracle Boot Camp is a choice for us. As we chose it; we were chosen. We've had our challenges in these last two weeks, but we are going to step through each and every one of them because our why, our vision, is much larger than anything that can hold us back, including our "past" limited income.
The Miracle Boot Camp is a chance for us to demonstrate consistency in action towards our vision, towards our goals, to step ever closer and to become one with our why.
We are not perfect in this, but instead we are Perfect Imperfectionists, and, that said, we are firmly gentle on ourselves. Which is what we would hope that anyone who is growing a business from home would be. We are human, we have lives, we have demands that sometimes seem beyond our control --- but we can do what we can and be glad in it!
Thank you for tuning into our 4 week publicized journey. And, thank you to each and every Miracle Boot Camper for doing your part and pulling through with each and every challenge and success, and for uniting with us. We are more than one gathered, and therefore, TOGETHER, our message of freedom ---from time and money limitations, and inner growth limitations, and career limitations and any other seen and unseen limitations --- be heard daily.
"Let us BE FREE
To SERVE the HIGHER GOOD
of us ALL."

Day 11 ----
This morning brought me a fun call while on Live Chat --- a call by Ellie Drake on finding your "Prosperity Hormone". Now, this call was mainly for women, but guys also have their own prosperity hormone, just very different from ours ;-). The call was a teaser for an upcoming extensive tele-conference and was interesting. I walked away with the message that we women need to be in love with our vision, and give birth to our purpose and cultivate it through the "motherly courage of consistency to see our purpose through."
I was able to help an International person from India who was on our My Power Mall site for the first time; and I helped a member from the US understand how she opens new business centers for her granddaughter, her daughter, and for NPO's and TWCCTW Foundations.
Customer Service time is always good when you're able to walk away from the shift knowing that you've helped a member or a prospective member out. It's rewarding to not only serve our members, but to get to know our the CS team over time.
I'm never very good at multi-tasking when on Live Chat, but today, I think I did a good job of catching almost all of the conference call and being effective by getting my callers the information they needed.
I highly recommend to anyone who wants to hone their skills a little further to volunteer for the Chat Line. Nita is an outstanding Director, and as I've said before, has a sense of humor worth your time ;-). It's a great way to give back to TWCCTW for all that TWCCTW gives to us.
Email Nita at admin [at] mypowermall.com. Let her know you're ready, willing, and dependable. Shifts are 2 hours in length most often, though with the new 5 hour minimum, it may be you do have an hour shift -- or, you stretch to 6 hours/week.
I had a lovely Reconnective Healing Session with my first client early in the afternoon after creating individualized e-cards and mailing them out. After the session, I spoke with my client (who is a friend) about our boot camp and fund raiser; and he's very curious about Reconnective Healing.
I've decided to come off my lemonade drinks, so I went to the market to get oranges and a few other items. It was my excuse to visit with folks. I stopped by the USPS on my way home.
My successes at the market were --- making approaches and having conversations -- or not, depending upon who I was speaking with.
I had an especially wonderful conversation with a woman who is 82 years young, and who met my eyes with a smile. Alas, she doesn't have a computer and hasn't been on one since she retired from the telephone company 26 years ago ;-). Her husband died 2 years ago, but she still lives alone and attends to her needs, including yard care. I inquired whether she had familial help with those projects, 'cause me and Big Z wouldn't mind at all to come help her out. She had her bases covered, so we smiled and wished each other a good day.
I went to the customer service counter to see who I may speak with about setting up a table out from of the market to share about the Solar Oven Project. I have a name and paperwork to fill out. It's a 4 week or so process, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to get it set up by our deadline, but it's worth a try ;-).
I came home to work on my project --- my forgotten project for earlier this week, since the info was in my computer and not right in front of my face ;-). I have 6 organizations that need assistance becoming My Power Mall Non-Profit Mall Members. I made my calls, had connects, disconnects, no emails, and left voice mails. I now will follow up with emails with a link to the current NPO video.
My effort gave me an idea as I squeezed fresh oranges, their aroma filling the air around me, and it has also made me more comfortable calling an organization.
I have a stack of 25 NPOs who need help getting their My Power Mall NPOs set up. I'm going to find my list and get to work doing the same thing I did today and call them. People need guidance. These organizations need guidance. So, if any one of you who are reading this also accepted 25 NPOs for helping TWCCTW at some point, get that file out and get to work ;-).
It was rewarding to visit some of the web sites for these organizations and to see what they do and how small or large they are. It was exhilarating to tap into their mission and feel an excitement to know more . . . alas, my time is limited currently, but I enjoyed the niggle.
I made follow-up calls and have just a little bit more time before I'm back out the door for my next healing client.
It's been a good day.
Rest well everyone, and, keep your spirits light.
