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.
Http://www.BuildASolarOvenFactory.com You'll need ID 25925 to participate.
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.

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.

Day 8 ----Monday Week 2
Hi Everyone!!!
Today's been a non-stop kind of day, full of many short visits along the way that began with our Miracle Team Coaching Call. It was positively lovely to hear Susan Huffstutler coaching us along until Jacki made it back on the line. Go, Susan, Go! Thank you!
Big Z had a big day out at our community college for his first official Hogwart's School. He's now on his bed reading Book 7, after active play with the neighbors.
It was wonderful to help a customer on Live Chat, and to have many short visits throughout the day, along with a few longer visits with folks when dialing Miracle Team leads. I made 35 follow-up calls to the leads and it was wonderful to make connects and have interviews.
I also made follow-up calls to local Miracle Team contacts.
Sent many e-cards to both sets of folks.
Made calls to new contacts.
The best call of the day:
To "D" who works at the local Chevrolet dealer as promised last night.
I called and got the operator. I asked for his extension and was asked for his name. I gave it and she hesitated, but then said his initial. I said, "Yes!"
So we got on the line. I told him there were a few reasons for my contact today.
First, I commended him upon his sale's letter to me back in May. I kept it because it impressed me (and I knew one day I would give him a call about Together We Can Change The World --- ran across his info this weekend while looking for something else, so I kept it out). I let him know that I never went to the dealership to purchase a car, but that I brought in my old truck for service, and, that it was years ago! He impressed me, by going through the records and finding me out of all those people who've been in. He kindly and appreciatively said thank you.
Secondly, I told him why I saved his letter because I knew I would talk to him about our company at some point. I said, "The Time is Now. I am with a local company called Together We Can Change The World and we're in a Miracle Team Boot Camp right now and we're getting the word out about our funding division of the company." I added that he was the kind of person I was looking to partner with. I also said we are having a fund-raising program to begin a solar oven factory in Uganda, telling some about it, and added, "I realize you are at work right now, so would you mind if I sent you an email that gave you the information, and we set up another time that I can answer any questions you have?"
He said, "Sure. I want you to contact me."
He gave me his home email and his cell number. We set up a time to visit tomorrow when he gets off work so that I may address his questions and hear his ideas about our company. Mind you, he's working 0800 to 2000--- that's from 8AM to 8PM. That's a LONG day. He doesn't even get to go away for lunch. I'm looking forward to visiting with him tomorrow!
I had an especially good follow-up call this evening after family chat with a high school friend who first saw TWCCTW in February. It was a marathon call, and I took her to the World Changer Presentation and the Solar Oven Factory website. As she's worked all day, she is going to spend some more time on it on her own, and then get back to me with questions. It was good to visit with her. She's always had wonderful energy. Her twins are now in college, and her youngest almost 13. She loved the solar oven project ;-).

Day 7 --------Sunday, Week 1 Complete
Howdy, Everyone!
Today I spent some time looking around for local events. I'd missed one that would have been particularly fun this weekend; the other was a bit too far to travel.
Big Z rejoined me and he enjoyed reading and playing with our neighbor friends. We made one visit out to get supplies and although we spoke to a few people, I did not hand out any cards.
I showed Big Z the flyer for the Solar Ovens.
I created e-card after e-card and tailored them special to each person that I promised would get one this week, but that somehow it didn't happen! Many of them would've been good to create yesterday ----however, due to the length of time it took, it's better than I made all those follow-up calls! My goal is to ensure I get them out each day. I did have this success this week, and I patted myself on the back when I went back through my lists to double-check.
We watched a good movie while I was creating the e-cards. Ginny, if you haven't seen it yet, I think you would like its message: "True wealth is found in the heart of the real hero." The movie was called, "The Butter Cream Gang in Secret of Treasure Mountain". We saw it at the Children's Library last week.
Week 2 begins in just a few short hours . . .
I have a local contact I'm going to reverse solicit. He sent me a letter in May and I kept it for this very reason. It's from an auto salesperson telling me that "my previous salesperson has moved on to other endeavors. It is always sad when we lose a teammate. We always wish our previous colleges well when they move on."
I never had a salesperson. However, I did take my big truck to this shop for work many years, and years ago. I will call him and send him an email. I believe in team work. Therefore, this gentleman might be just the person to be on Big Z and my team.
I also have a busy day of customer service and coaching calls, and our Family Chat. In between, I hope to follow-up with local leads and my Miracle Team leads. I also have a special project that will take priority over getting local leads, however, I will attempt to get them as well. I will be calling a small list of NPO's and helping them get started with My Power Mall.
Wishing you all a fitful night of rest, and a sprint out the gates, one week closer to achieving your goals and dream ;-).

Day 6 ---- Saturday
Aaah, what a great day it was today!
Sunshine, a breeze that didn't get too cold for my California blood, good work, quiet time, catch-up time, and a massage ;-).
Today I cashed in the new Grocery Certificate and Merchandise Certificate thanks to the efforts of our adept Director of Mall Promotions, Shawn. I copied the information, along with the Solar Oven Factory flyer, to disk and went to the copy store. The young man had heard something about solar ovens recently. He thought it was NPR. I told him about it and he said, "That's really cool." He didn't want me to take his info, but he did want a card!
Nabbed 2 1/2 gals at the video store. The young woman I was hoping to see last week was in. Just happened her room mate was there as well. Each gave their contact information. Another co-worker came in on it and she was hesitant. She took a card, and I figure, she'll jump on the bandwagon somehow. After all, I left a flyer of the Solar Oven Factory Project with the store so they can help get word out. I added our Foundation Mall Number, 25925, to the flyer, along with our website address that corresponds to it: http://www.givingtogetherisgood.com.
I had a follow-up call with a Miracle Team lead from last week and her speakers weren't working so we opted to check in later. She hoped to get to the library.
I made 24 follow-up calls and still have follow-ups. Add a coupla hundred leads on top of a coupla hundred leads and you have a funnel that brings people to our Together We Can Change The World Funding Division, My Power Mall, where they can make an intelligent decision if our business is a match for helping them achieve their goals and their dreams.
The beauty about being human is we have choice, desire, individuality and we are all the same, but we are all different. Therefore, though we have an amazing incentive with the Gasoline and Grocery Certificates ($600 a year back to you!), however, we must all realize that it would be unnatural for everyone to say Yes to us. That said, however, there are plenty of people in the world Together We Can Change The World is FOR, and factoring in the 80/20 rule, we are looking for the 20% of the population who are a match with our company, our heart, our vision. You see, it's the people who want to make a difference in the world, in their lives, in the lives of those they love, that will be attracted to our company.
Since I was working with leads, I dug through some of my never contacted local leads and dusted them off. It's time they hear about Together We Can Change The World!
I took a flyer to the LMP that gave me my massage. He'd had quite a day of massage, and play at the lake with his children and friends, so he wasn't much able to internalize the Solar Oven Factory Fund-Raising Project . . . Depending on how things go before he leaves on a summer adventure with his family, I may reintroduce it to him another day.
To follow-up:
Thank you, Brenda. I used my little notepad that Big Z and I purchased for the original boot camp and placed NAME, EMAIL, PHONE, and BEST TIME TO CALL on each page. You know, I used it yesterday and today, and it worked like a charm! People fill it out! So, thank you for reminding me of this.
Thank you, GinnyD. I'm looking forward to the top of the mountain, but I betcha that lake is pretty wonderful, too, especially with the warmer (finally) days we've been having. I want you to know that your message earlier gave me the fuel, in the form of excited energy, to get out there this afternoon after working leads and catching up all day --- I appreciate that you're checking in frequently with the Boot Campers. Hugs to Bogey! ;-)
Eleanor~~ Big thanks. You are a magnificent influence and inspiration in our company. I'm glad you're following along, and cheering everyone, too!
Lisa, it's been a pleasure to get to spend time with you this week, and get on out there, out of our comfort zones ;-). Big Z has enjoyed it, too. I think it's been good for him to see that someone else is out there doing it besides us. Yes, he hears about it, but to actually see, touch and feel it "live" is wonderful for him. Thank you for your cheers. And, next time we go, I'll be much more energetic than last week . . .
Tina-- You rock! The post you left earlier today (was it today or last night?) was incredible. You live, eat and breath TWCCTW and I'm glad you can now share more of your enthusiasm with the company through the Miracle Boot Camp, and with the world.
Jacki, Pal. Thank you for being there day in and day out for your family, and for TWCCTW, and for the MS Society, and for each one of us who Boot Camp publicly, and for each one of us that Boot Camp privately ---- Your ability to keep going and going like the energizer bunny is just positively amazing. Yeah, you mighta been nuts for getting this Miracle Boot Camp going with a whole new team after TWCCTW Miracle Team Leads --- but hey! You're driven, and your drive is assisting everyone in furthering the mission and vision of our company, one person, one business at a time. You're competitive, and that must be the only way you keep after it like you do.
Shannon . . . I'm so glad you're now out of the background and into the foreground where I can see and know about you. It's been great to meet you through the lead calling and TWCCTW Miracle Team. We haven't gotten to connect in a bit, but I know you're there silently cheering me as I am cheering you. Thank you! Hope your Mom is feeling better today.
Sandy I thank you for being a Dear and posting to our blog. I can say it's caused me to smile much and I appreciate it all the more knowing you're back to work, and still have so much in your life that's unsettled. AND, you're continuing to grow your business with the Miracle Team leads. Your strength is amazing.
Tom . . . Thank you, for being you. And, thank you to you and Laura (and Edy) for taking the reigns to plan, prepare and present the first Regional Event for our company.
Phillip. It's been an absolute pleasure to be in such close contact through the TWCCTW Miracle Team and to now be on a Boot Camp team with you. Your perseverance is commendable; your humor, contagious; your thoughtfulness is so appreciated. What is so amazing to me, and I told you this the other day, is how, in your small, small town, where you thought you'd find zero contacts, you're finding 5 a day! Wonderful! Keep it up 'cause you're showing us how it's done!
I'm so glad you are walking with your own light and dream carrying you, GinnyJ. It's important to be able to follow your bliss even while in relationship. It's really special to share TWCCTW with my son; you are going to have a blast with Ashleigh!
Susan Huffstutler, our administrative mastermind extraordinaire, behind the scenes and holding us all together ---Thank you for your tireless commitment to sending leads, capturing numbers, writing emails, being on calls, and for collecting reports and reading blogs! You're wonderful!
Big Z, Mama loves you. Without you we would not be here today! ;-) You're doing GREAT getting out there again and handing out your cards. One day, you'll thank Mama for working so hard now --- we WILL have time AND vacations together-- you get to pick where we go, at least once ;-). Buh, buh. Buh, buh. Hee, hee.
And of course, a thank you goes to every single person on the Management Team. To reiterate what I said to Big Z, we would not be here today, flying on the coat-tails of an amazing vision of Together We Can Change The World, without EACH OF YOU. Thank you for making it possible for us to help ourselves, which makes it possible for us to help others. Ya'll ROCK!

You see, it's the people who want to make a difference in the world, in their lives, in the lives of those they love, that will be attracted to our company.
Since I was working with leads, I dug through some of my never contacted local leads and dusted them off. It's time they hear about Together We Can Change The World!
I took a flyer to the LMP that gave me my massage. He'd had quite a day of massage, and play at the lake with his children and friends, so he wasn't much able to internalize the Solar Oven Factory Fund-Raising Project . . . Depending on how things go before he leaves on a summer adventure with his family, I may reintroduce it to him another day.
To follow-up:
Thank you, Brenda. I used my little notepad that Big Z and I purchased for the original boot camp and placed NAME, EMAIL, PHONE, and BEST TIME TO CALL on each page. You know, I used it yesterday and today, and it worked like a charm! People fill it out! So, thank you for reminding me of this.
Thank you, GinnyD. I'm looking forward to the top of the mountain, but I betcha that lake is pretty wonderful, too, especially with the warmer (finally) days we've been having. I want you to know that your message earlier gave me the fuel, in the form of excited energy, to get out there this afternoon after working leads and catching up all day --- I appreciate that you're checking in frequently with the Boot Campers. Hugs to Bogey! ;-)
Eleanor~~ Big thanks. You are a magnificent influence and inspiration in our company. I'm glad you're following along, and cheering everyone, too!
Lisa, it's been a pleasure to get to spend time with you this week, and get on out there, out of our comfort zones ;-). Big Z has enjoyed it, too. I think it's been good for him to see that someone else is out there doing it besides us. Yes, he hears about it, but to actually see, touch and feel it "live" is wonderful for him. Thank you for your cheers. And, next time we go, I'll be much more energetic than last week . . .
Tina-- You rock! The post you left earlier today (was it today or last night?) was incredible. You live, eat and breath TWCCTW and I'm glad you can now share more of your enthusiasm with the company through the Miracle Boot Camp, and with the world.
Jacki, Pal. Thank you for being there day in and day out for your family, and for TWCCTW, and for the MS Society, and for each one of us who Boot Camp publicly, and for each one of us that Boot Camp privately ---- Your ability to keep going and going like the energizer bunny is just positively amazing. Yeah, you mighta been nuts for getting this Miracle Boot Camp going with a whole new team after TWCCTW Miracle Team Leads --- but hey! You're driven, and your drive is assisting everyone in furthering the mission and vision of our company, one person, one business at a time. You're competitive, and that must be the only way you keep after it like you do.
Shannon . . . I'm so glad you're now out of the background and into the foreground where I can see and know about you. It's been great to meet you through the lead calling and TWCCTW Miracle Team. We haven't gotten to connect in a bit, but I know you're there silently cheering me as I am cheering you. Thank you! Hope your Mom is feeling better today.
Sandy I thank you for being a Dear and posting to our blog. I can say it's caused me to smile much and I appreciate it all the more knowing you're back to work, and still have so much in your life that's unsettled. AND, you're continuing to grow your business with the Miracle Team leads. Your strength is amazing.
Tom . . . Thank you, for being you. And, thank you to you and Laura (and Edy) for taking the reigns to plan, prepare and present the first Regional Event for our company.
Phillip. It's been an absolute pleasure to be in such close contact through the TWCCTW Miracle Team and to now be on a Boot Camp team with you. Your perseverance is commendable; your humor, contagious; your thoughtfulness is so appreciated. What is so amazing to me, and I told you this the other day, is how, in your small, small town, where you thought you'd find zero contacts, you're finding 5 a day! Wonderful! Keep it up 'cause you're showing us how it's done!
I'm so glad you are walking with your own light and dream carrying you, GinnyJ. It's important to be able to follow your bliss even while in relationship. It's really special to share TWCCTW with my son; you are going to have a blast with Ashleigh!
Susan Huffstutler, our administrative mastermind extraordinaire, behind the scenes and holding us all together ---Thank you for your tireless commitment to sending leads, capturing numbers, writing emails, being on calls, and for collecting reports and reading blogs! You're wonderful!
Big Z, Mama loves you. Without you we would not be here today! ;-) You're doing GREAT getting out there again and handing out your cards. One day, you'll thank Mama for working so hard now --- we WILL have time AND vacations together-- you get to pick where we go, at least once ;-). Buh, buh. Buh, buh. Hee, hee.
And of course, a thank you goes to every single person on the Management Team. To reiterate what I said to Big Z, we would not be here today, flying on the coat-tails of an amazing vision of Together We Can Change The World, without EACH OF YOU. Thank you for making it possible for us to help ourselves, which makes it possible for us to help others. Ya'll ROCK!

Day 5 ----It's Friday and a GREAT Day
The boys, believe it or not, were up at Dawn. I felt like I'd just gotten to sleep, so I camped in dreamland to the sounds of the birds that nest above my window under the roof's eve (well, actually the attic-- they found their way in, along with wasps and hornets), the sounds of Big Z and his friend talking quietly while strategies for the best deck of Pokemon cards were crafted and created for the big game. They happily played all day and it was so delightful to have them so satisfied with each other.
We hoped to pick berries, but time seemed to fly, so instead, we walked to the post office and the store for berries so the boys could have some ice cream and berries as their treat after lunch. No hits at the USPS, but the market, well, we SCORED.
The checker had some cards lined up at her register, so I asked her what they were. She explained they helped customers save money on gas, and that her last gasoline price, per gallon, was a dollar-thirty-something. I pulled out our sample voucher and said, "Do you think your savings amounts to about $300 a year, or more?" Thus started a great little visit with the young man in front of us and her. We got her name, email and phone number and she was glad to get her info and know we'd show her how to get even more money back. We've sent her an e-card.
Speaking of e-cards, we've sent a number of them. We're using the e-cards in our back office and loving them. I'd like to make a request for an e-card that features the Combo Certificate. This would be great to use at this time.
Today followed up with Miracle Team leads and made new calls to more leads, a total of 17 calls. Didn't reach anyone new, but did connect with some of our follow-ups and had a lovely visit with a woman who is recently disabled, but is an Entrepreneur at heart; and, she has a Together We Can Change The World Heart. We'll visit tomorrow to answer any questions she has and help get her started.
Spent time reading the exciting news in our Update from Ginny. I love the Solar Oven Initiative. Played with the .pdf flyer, but had some troubles downloading it, so will get after that again tomorrow.
This evening, Big Z rejoined his Dad, and after he left I was a bit torn with where to place my energies. My efforts today were telling me to keep after it with my follow-ups and get squared away with my emails that have taken more of a backseat to the week than I'd like. But, I also felt the nudge to get on out there and see what this Girl could do now that my energy is coming back!
So, I mentally made my list and "went to town" to claim my lost butter from a shopping trip last week that didn't make it into my bags. While there, I had a lot of fun, sniffing dish-soap, sniffing deodorants with an East Indian woman who is embarking on a month long journey to India with her family next week, and though I handed out cards and had a few no's, I hit another bit of GOLD on my way out of the store.
This young woman was super cool and friendly and got her info and though she said email is best, I sure look forward to talking with her again before she and her husband move south to California so that her husband can begin his four-year Seminary Program. He has a dream to come back to our town and create a counseling/recovery program where someone "really cares for the client". I shared with her that Ginny loves to seed ventures, and to remember this as she views the World Changer video.
Since I had the clever opening with the woman at the grocery store this a.m. I decided to try the same brand store and duplicate my experience. So, what did I buy? LEMONS, but of course! (sorry, Jacki, just have to put that one in there! lol)
I wandered the aisles after getting my lemons and the store was empty except for those checking out. So, I worked my way back to the counter, meandering on my way, and thought I may not hit pay-dirt upon first glance at my fellow shoppers in line.
However, a gentleman came around the corner and seemed to be getting in line, but in case he wasn't, I moved my portion of the snake-shape line over so he could get by. He got in line. He's recently relocated to our town, getting settled, he's a musician and my opener was, "You buying boxes, too?" (He had short-lipped boxes to keep is papers better organized.) Well, in the end, our conversation ran the gamut, but I focused on Ginny's Musi-Con that's upcoming so that his passion of music was sparked. He's done fundraising through his music before, so I'm sending him the direct link to the Together We Can Change The World Song and told him the history of the song's creation.
What?
You haven't heard it yet. Oh, you must. It will touch your heart strings and fill you up with joy and inspiration. Take a few minutes and treat yourself. Have a listen now:
http://www.togetherwecanchangetheworld.com/twcctwsong/25925
Got his info and headed to the car . . . getting close to report time, so I made one more stop to get some contact lens solution from Walgreen's, and while I was at it, to scope out the pharmacy. It was pretty short of folks, too, so I finally just asked the young man at the counter, "Would you mind? I'm with a company called Together We Can Change The World and we're in a Miracle Team Boot Camp. It's late and I need to have my report in by 9, but I don't have all my contacts yet. Would you mind to be my last contact of the day? I'd really appreciate it."
He replied, "Sure. I would." So finally got his info after a few customer exchanges and in the process learned he has a niece he's fond of . . . and told him a bit more about certificates, etc. Raced home and got my report in and it felt good.
I did it! AND was productive! What a difference it makes when you are rested and have energy--- when you are healthy!
I bid you all a great night, and I congratulate each and every one of you for your successes this week. You deserve a huge hug and a rest.
That said, however, I'm going to encourage you, that after you rest, you keep after it. Our Boot Camp is ONLY 3 More weeks . . .
It takes 21 or 28 days to create a new habit (I've read both numbers from Masters of Success, so you pick the time frame that works for you), and therefore, this Boot Camp is just long enough to help cement this new way of being in your life, in your thoughts, in your cells, in your daily routine.
Make your weekends count, too!

Day 4 ----- A Lovely Day
Today was a lovely day, at least after I woke up and got my engines fired. It took a bit of time, but by golly, by this afternoon, I was feeling great. From here, my body oughta be great. This lemonade will kick in an viola! Vibrant and alert I be. Though Jacki asks that I refrain from details, I must tell you the concoction. I know you're curious:
2 TBSP fresh squeezed lemon
2 TBSP genuine grade b (c if you ever find it) maple syrup
1/10 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
water, medium hot, at least 10 oz
This is a great drink any ole time, and tastes great hot on cold days, and cool on hot days. Now, Ginny will tell ya I ruin the drink by adding cayenne, but hey! It's a cleanse!
Got right on Live Chat for our Customer Service department for a few hours. Big Z slept all the way through it! Nita, our Director of Customer Service, envies him a lot, getting to sleep in during the summer months ;-).
I had a phone visit and IM session with Lisa. I knew I had a lot of follow-ups to tend to and that I wanted Big Z to have his play time with his friend, which included a sleep-over, so I thought it best to fly solo today.
I made e-cards and mailed them; made follow-up calls, to both my new local folks and to my Miracle Team leads that have been in the works for weeks. It felt like a very productive day.
Interestingly, these last few days, after having gotten into such a good rhythm working leads, I found that I did not feel as productive the previous three days this week. I like feeling and being productive . . .
By being on the Lead Calling Team and the Miracle Team, it was a great opportunity to continue to refine my skills in keeping track of what it is I do in a day. I've mentioned on calls that I have a notepad and I keep track (to the best of my ability) what I'm doing minute-to-minute, so that as I look back on my day, I can really "see my efforts". As you know, there are days you put your efforts and actions forth, but you don't see results. I like to see results.
We got out to do a few errands and met people. We met our neighbors who just returned from a trip and gave them their mail and packages. We reintroduced them to taking a serious look at our business. After all, they are ordering online, they shop at Costco, and they buy groceries and gasoline. They can benefit from the certificates you get when you sign up as a World Changer.
We found no one at the post office, which was really surprising. The heat must have driven people to find a place cool. Guess these NW folks haven't talked to Shannon and Phillip, my fellow Miracle Team Boot Campers. I think they would tell you our heat is surely not their heat!
We went to the market for food stuffs for the boys' sleepover and there were more people there. We met a young mother with a baby who was widely alert and her little toddler crashed out in the cart. A beautiful conversation yielding nothing more.
We met another Mom with two boys; her own and her nephew. We asked if she got paid to shop and voila! She didn't! She was incredulous, so we told her how she could, too. We got her contact info and Big Z gave her his card. She asked him about his business and what happens and he was a bit shy, so it was good to have him have practice articulating his profession ;-).
We went downtown and I treated Big Z to an ice cream, something every Mom should do at least once during the summer! We met a lovely elder woman there, and even spoke about Big Z's business, TWCCTW and such, and more, but ended up she had to hustle to the bus. I will look for her again another day!
We called a woman that works at our credit union and another friend and left some voice messages to connect with folks. Had a connect with an old contact and this was good.
"The Gold is in the Follow-ups." I would add, "The JOY is in the follow-ups!" It's funny how when you are creating rapport with a person, getting to know them and becoming a part of your life as you become a part of theirs, I find that sometimes when I get their voice mail, just hearing their voice and remembering their story brings me a smile. I generally come to care about these people, for all of our lives are filled with myriad struggles and successes. It's truly a JOY to follow-up!
My follow-ups ran the gamut from leaving VM, leaving messages with a person, or having a connect which led to re-setting a time to talk; and then, the connect that led to more. Two follow-ups were especially good.
A single Mom with two young children and I visited. She is going to sign up with a Business Mall, but she has her eye set on the World Changer mall. She is so touched and happy to have a connection with a person instead of just email or Internet. It helps her feel trust and she is glad too.
Another woman who is working towards creating a means to provide support, training, housing, and all sorts of other skills really was glad to hear about the Solar Oven project and it was fun to have her ask, "How much do they need to get it started?" When she learned it was such a small amount she said, "I need to know the full amount." I asked her why because I thought it pretty curious to want to know. She replied, "I know people who have that kind of money to give to a project like that!" I didn't bat an eye because this woman has been there, done it and is an amazing testament to the will of the human spirit.
I told her, "At one time (before x, y, z happened) you are ready to become a World Changer. The key is to get that started for yourself, and then, you can learn more about us, and this program, and be able to take it to the people you're thinking of and sell them certificates and also support yourself in the process." She said she wasn't thinking of her. I gently reminded her, " You may not be thinking of you, but you have a vision, you have a dream. You've just purchased the home that you're going to be launching that dream into reality. You may not need the money, but your vision does!"
The message here is this: The JOY is in the follow-up! lol
No, the message is this: Timing is everything in a person's life. What's no today may not be no another day.
I'm sending this woman the website link again, the info on the solar oven project and the break down of costs associated with getting started and taking advantage of the certificate program as a World Changer.
Big Z and his friend are having a famous time. Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon! Now, it's Legos. Their pallet is laid out on the floor and bedtime is NOW!
Sleep tight everyone!
I thank you again, and again for your sweet and supportive comments. I do appreciate them very much. You enrich my life!
Oh, and, Ginny. You're right. Yesterday I almost busted into a salon after leaving the restaurant . . . and Lisa and I have been talking about it. I have a bit of preparation to do first, but by the end of this Boot Camp, you can be sure I will have walked into a business with the intention to speak to the manager or the owner. After all, Lisa's contact with the lovely woman we met yesterday is testament they are kind, smart, engaging, and still engaging with life (we both trust she passed her written tests to receive her cosmetology license!).
2 TBSP fresh squeezed lemon
2 TBSP genuine grade b (c if you ever find it) maple syrup
1/10 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
water, medium hot, at least 10 oz
