A busy day !!!
Got to share the bicycles from our contact at the local bike shop from the other day; and they shared with me. The eldest boy loved the "classic" bike, but they took both. It was a wonderful time of interaction, however, Big Z was at basketball camp time, so he didn't get to have more time with these young boys. It was magical to watch the eldest boy choose his favorite bike and to have him not care at all about "bells and whistles" and instead value the "simple over the complicated".
I didn't talk about My Power Mall with Mom after all, but we've left the door open for a potential ride on the local trails, even though the family lives in a neighboring town. And, I will send a thank you note for the gift shared in return and will open the door again to shopping rebates in another moment.
Believe it or not, I had opportunity to read the Update for today, click on the link to the new site for the Operation World Changer and then didn't get to read it before I was out the door for my meeting with the owner of the India restaurant.
I didn't know what to expect in terms of them having viewed the video. The oldest boy was there, and so I sat down with him and we got to work as Mom stood by for a few minutes. I was pleasantly surprised they DID watch the view, this morning! YEAH!
Mom then bustled between a steady flow of customers, I was engaged for a good portion of time with her 10 year old boy as he fired questions at me. It was very sweet and I was really surprised at his interest.
His first question was, "Have you met Ginny?"
Then, questions ran from "How do you get paid?" to "How do you sign up?" to "What is a tier?" to "How does the American Express Gift Card work?" to "How much does it cost and how much do I pay monthly?" I wrote out three pages of notes . . .
Mom came back and forth to the table and we had more minutes at the end of my time to talk a little bit. She was tired! What I learned causes me to be even more glad that I went to speak to her.
Business owners are not immune to financial distress.
She said her clients and customers believe that everything is fine, when really, they aren't. Knowing we have the potential to help her entire family should they choose "YES!" was a thought of thanksgiving for TWCCTW.
I asked her where she stood on a scale of 1-10 and she said, "A five moving toward a 10." She didn't really have too many questions, so I went over what we spoke about with her son, and the questions he asked me.
She was beginning to yawn and I knew not much more would be retained. So I asked, "What would move you closer to a 10?" She wasn't sure in that moment. I left her with, "The sign-up process is simple. When you're ready to get started, then I'll be here to help you. I want to ensure I walk you through the certificate registration again so you're sure to get your Visa Gift Cards. I'll be there to help you." We hugged and I shook hands with her boy and I was off.
I am pleased with the series of our interactions the last three weeks; and I'm sure good will come of it in many ways. I will check in after next week when I know a family member will help her with her Internet and email connection. She had troubles accessing business email on her home computer. I also recommended they get a Gmail account before they sign up with their World Changer Mall. I'm very optimistic and left there feeling good. The meeting was about 2 hours.
Going into a business is one sure fire way to have a meeting that is in an "uncontrolled environment". Your ability to have a steady conversation is challenged by the proprietor's need to have their focus on the customers . . . therefore, from my limited experience, I would say to always allow for additional time in your schedule to accommodate the unexpected and perhaps longer meeting than you may intend.
I also realize there may be a way to have a meeting set where the environment can be more controlled. I have a friend who has been in beverage sales for a number of years; he now has worked for the Lottery for a few years. He's been into thousands of businesses. I am going to set up a time to talk with him and see what he can share with me that will help me "leverage myself" in a business setting.
Biked to piano with Big Z and had a good time.
Got on a conference call with the women's online networking group and posted in their forum. It was a good call and I'm looking forward to my "stepped up" commitment to "grow" within this community and with the information they are teaching on these calls. I feel confident this program and connection with this group of international women will benefit the growth of Big Z's Enterprise and our team expansion.
Thank you to Sandy, Jacki, Shannon, Phillip and Tom for your check-in today. I appreciate all of you!
And, Eleanor, thank you, too, for checking in periodically throughout Miracle Boot Camp to see how it was going. You're appreciated, too! I'm really enjoying John Assaraf and Murray Smith's book, The Answer. I see now why you recommended I "do what they tell you to do!"
I pass along Eleanor's recommendation to everyone who's reading this post. The Answer is very much worth the read; and, it will be very much more worth it to you to take the time to complete the exercises and implement their daily actions for 30 days and beyond. I intend to do this myself.
10 PM already? HOW can that BE?
Well, signing off ---
and reporting:
1 contact for Monday
1 contact for Tuesday
0 Contacts for Today
(I reported to Susan on Monday and Tuesday, but I betcha she's pretty much inundated by being at the helm of the Certificate program AND preparing for Operation World Changer ;-).)
Happy and restful sleep to YOU. May your heart be filled to the brim with the changes that are coming to YOU n-o-w.

Day 31 ------ Operation World Changer Changes Our Plans
Okay Team~~~
August 14 is my last day of my personal 60 Day Challenge for the Miracle Team ~~~
However, with our news yesterday of the fast-approaching Operation World Changer implementation at hand, I know that in order to have a shot at having the energy to work intensely for another 7 weeks, I will need a break. This week is likely the only time to have it ;-).
If Operation World Changer is to last 7 weeks, this means the 7 weeks will likely begin on Monday the 17th IF Ginny is to make it to the Regional Event on time the first week of October ;-).
Though I say "a break" I will still have a follow-up in person tomorrow, and have some follow-ups this week, as well as customer service scheduled. Big Z is in a basketball camp, he's got a sleep-over planned and I have other "to-dos" on my calendar. However, if I take as much time as I can to "play, rest and spend time with Big Z", I hope to have a bit of a recharge.
Today I made it to the eye doctor and I even had an opportunity to mention Z's Business. I have the email of the doctor and will be emailing her something in relation to the eye-care product she recommended to me. However, since she knows I can get a rebate from Big Z's online store, and I told her staff she could also get a rebate and still sell products to her customers (details, of course, would have to be discussed with various retailers). So, I will include this information when I email her ;-).
My afternoon was spent helping a friend on a project.
We're now going out for a few minutes on the bicycles after Big Z plays a few notes on his keyboard. Then, off to bed for a great night's rest.
Tomorrow, I will know from our update how to proceed.
We are 99% certain we will volunteer for Operation World Changer. I've already had the update conversation with Big Z and we know that our determination is what it takes and is what will get us closer to realizing our short and long-term goals. When I read the update tomorrow, I'm intending we'll know for certain so we may implement a strategy for our well being along with Jacki and Ginny's plan for our success.
Wishing you all a good night's rest.

Day 30 ----Monday
Though I intended to rock and roll on Saturday, it ended up that I made calls to Miracle Team members and caught up with them, and also had a short visit with Susan. By the time this was done, Facebook grabbed me and then, much of the day was gone . . . but I felt good to look in on a few people and reply to a few posts, catching up on histories, careers and working to understand the power of "social networking". Though I ended up not having much productivity in terms of contacting new folks, but I did get to connect and have some time with Big Z, who came home early from a rained-out camping excursion.
Today was a grand day on the Customer Service line. It was almost non-stop and as folks called in just as my shift was ending and I ended up hopping off the line about 30 minutes later. That happens sometimes, and, how wonderful it is when a happy member is on the other end of my computer connection . . . !!!! There's nothing like a happy and motivated My Power Mall member, just like Antwon from Wisconsin (thanks, Antwon!). There's nothing like connecting with members who need a quick bit of help and getting them connected. There's nothing like teaching a person how to fish (showing them around their back office so that can show their new team members around it the next time).
Big news was also released in our company today . . . due to the speed of my day, it took me half the day to read it! ;-). We got a team email out today to let our team know about our Family Chat call tonight and about the big changes for My Power Mall.
The mid-portion of the day sort of fell apart and so I decided to stop pushing up-hill and instead take Big Z on a wet bike ride around big block and to take him to the bike shop a tune-up. Wet, yes it was. We got soaked as rain spit and spit, as the water on the street splatted and splatted! While we were at the bike shop, we gained a contact with a Mom. We offered to share some old bikes with her boys (Yes! Three BOYS!).
We will meet with her on Wednesday about the bicycles; and she was intrigued to gain info on Z's mall. I had my notebook on me and I already had the information filled out when I gave it to her:
name,
phone,
email,
best times to call.
She filled it out! I told her why it was written up like that, half-apologizing about it . . . but was super pleased that she filled it out completely while we were talking with the bike guy ;-).
We got back just in time for making some follow-up calls before Family Chat.
As I said, we've have much needed rain today . . . watering our dry earth and filling our local water supply; I didn't feel I was as productive as our rain ;-). Perhaps, as Ginny said tonight on the call, my roots were watered in invisible ways . . . surely as my heart was touched by everything said on the call, and from it, new life will come!
A good night to my boy just now; and early to bed am I, for my early commute back to the eye doctor as dawn comes --- Surely I will have much thanksgiving in my heart as I travel tomorrow, for . . .
. . . I do not have to make that commute every day of my life!
I am f'ree!
And Together We Can Change The World is part of me and my son's vehicle of f'reedom as we continue to "water our roots" so "new life can come" and so we can "hand money up to [Corporate]" and NPO's around the globe that choose to make a difference.
When you have a heart and you choose to give, this company is just the right company to partner with, whether you want to grow a business, or support a charity, or just to know that every purchase you make goes to support the One-Cause-At-A-Time Program --- that's 6% of Corporate Profits, baby!

Day 27 -----Last Official Miracle Boot Camp Day
It's FRIDAY!!!!
And the last day of another mini-milestone in our lives as Miracle Teamers . . .
We're keeping at it, though, until next Friday (though perhaps not 5 contacts a day, and instead, follow-up, follow-up, follow-up) . . . and beyond ;-).
Next Friday is our deadline for the full 60 day cycle of our entire Miracle Team, which has included Miracle Boot Camp.
August 14, 2009.
Join us???
We didn't get our hike in after all. Big Z arrived home late from a chess tourney last night; that's good because he got to take his friend with him. So, instead, we biked to his Summer Reading Celebration.
Where'd our sunshine go? It disappeared the last few days and is downright cool . . . So our trip downtown had a very cool edge to it, but this evening, though breezy and overcast, it's nice out.
Fall is coming . . .
The summer reading program event was a good one. There were enough kids there to occupy the Mayor for quite awhile shaking hands of all our community readers. Then when finished, a book sale to benefit the Friends of the Library was on, so we spun around inside, Big Z captivated by all the titles. He walked away with a score--- 2 Harry Potter movies . . . one of which occupied his early afternoon ;-), and three books.
It's amazing this little Miracle Team journey is ending, however . . . Ginny's update lets us know that next week there is something new on the horizon (different than the contest she mentioned for youngsters on a recent Family Chat???) . . . Our curiosity is piqued . . .
We celebrate Susan H's advancement to Director of the Certificate Program! It was fun to send her an email after our call last night which caused her to blush in embarrassment from our compliments to her. Thanks, Susan!!! You're terrific!
Thank you, Jacki! I hope your week on the beach has been splendid for you and when you walk through your doors this weekend and you're home again, you feel a surge of new energy and focus. Thanks for asking the questions and giving us inspirational stories and tips that are insightful and helpful to the growth of our Foundations and our businesses.
Thanks to each and every person on our Miracle Team that came through and advanced on your goals for our TWCCTW Foundations. Groundwork is now in place to keep rolling forward and reaping the reward of our efforts. Each of you has taught me something different about how to approach growing our teams, about life and its lessons, about how to communicate with others, and about myself.
Thank you to everyone following us and cheering for us ;-).
Thank you to Ginny and the Management Team for continually providing the best of the best and then improving upon the best for us. Thank you for your vision and your inspiration, and your words of encouragement. Your endurance is a testament to your powerful and expansive passion for the mission of Together We Can Change The World.
It's been a tremendous privilege to be on the Miracle Team and the Miracle Boot Camp. We look forward to our next powerful team gathering where we can grow and test ourselves again, stretch and celebrate results, seen and unseen.
Have a great weekend, breathe in a great big breath, and pat yourselves on the back for your successes. Enjoy.

Day 26 ------ "Raise Hand!" *2 "Lower Hand!"
I'd say I'll miss the sound of the, "Raise hand!" as we end our Miracle Team Calls ;-), but we're going to keep using the new calling system for all our calls and family chats, lol.
38 follow-up calls thus far today before the team call. Still have stacks and stacks of calls to make ;-).
Welcome e-cards to new members sent.
Jacki read an SBIY story tonight, #310. It was about "throwing our hat over the tall stone wall and setting out to retrieve it" and about overcoming barriers in our lives.
It was especially touching for me to hear tonight as some barriers are staring me right in my eyes ;-).
Goals for next weeks:
Stick with my plan until August 14th because that's the date I set when Miracle Team was first announced, therefore, we'll keep working our plan.
Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up. I have stacks and stacks of folks to keep following up with. I have some emails that fell through the cracks for people that need to have an e-book of thanks; I have folks who said, "No, not now on the business" that need to hear about the Solar Oven Factory and how they may take advantage of the certificates if they found value in the certificates instead of the business; I have other folks who've fallen through the cracks; and I have people on my desk that I haven't had a chance to contact yet.
I will continue to connect with stores to find the one that will allow me and Big Z to set up a table outside their store to have our Solar Oven Factory Project . . . The end of Miracle Team will enable this more involved connections to be made.
We're going to continue with the Business Partnership Outreaches.
We're going to continue to establish our connections on Facebook and another online women's networking group.
We're going to do new member reach-outs and reach out to our older members and set up a team call.
I want time with Big Z; and I want to have a time to connect with my family in California.
I am going to read cover to cover the book that Eleanor Norton recommended in the first Boot Camp---
John Assaraf's The Answer. In my initial reading in the early chapters on the history of science and quantum physics , insights into the healing work I do have been so fascinating and valuable. I really like how he writes in an almost oral fashion, reminding us frequently that he and his co-author's guidance "will grow our business", "our business", about "our business." (The co-auther is Murray Smith.) I am excited to see what they present that will help a person grow a thriving business. Eleanor told me this morning, "Put into action what he directs you to do." and said she has one of his earlier books as well.
Thank you, Eleanor ;-).
The healing work I do is called Reconnective Healing. You may learn more at http://www.thereconnection.com. Reconnective Healing may be done in person (which is the most fun) and long distance. The Reconnection may only be done in person. Together, each one provides a complete healing experience that continues long after the sessions are over. It's fascinating and powerful work that provides healing on many levels --- psychological, spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. It's an honor for me to bear witness and be a part of a client's healing journey . . .
Big Z is going camping with his Dad this weekend, so tomorrow early in the morning, I'm going to take him hiking. Though it's cooled off a great deal in our area, the cooler it is, the further he'll be able to hike ;-). Then, I heard it's already time for the awards at the library for the summer reading program, so, it's a good idea I get him there for his rewards.
After these adventures, it will be back to the grindstone for the last few hours' efforts on our Miracle Team Boot Camp.
Today I had a follow-up call that gave me my third connect with a Miracle Team lead from early June. I had a disconnect two times I've called. But as I said on the call yesterday, when I get a disconnect, I will call back! Sometimes I get the voice mail. Other times I get to say, "I called a few minutes ago, but was somehow disconnected. May I speak with ______, please?"
I got a new voice, an older voice, and it said, "I think you better just speak with me." Turns out the lead is 16. So, we had a brief but effective conversation. They young man is very adept online and his parents give him quite a bit of lee-way to do things like this since he is responsible. So, they are going to watch the video as a family (of course I mentioned Lana!) and then they will be away this weekend. He promised they would call me back by Monday. I've followed up with an email and added, "If I don't hear from you, I will call you!"

Day 25 ------ Countdown 2 More Days
So funny to consider 2 more week days . . . the full 4 weeks makes it a 28 day cycle this time around for our Miracle Boot Camp.
When I think of the amount of new contacts that have been added in just the last few weeks, I say, "Whoa!" We still have work to do!
Jacki challenged us to come up with our plan for the next four weeks by tomorrow evening's call. That challenge is daunting for those of us who have been diligently working on various projects for months now . . . ;-). Part of me says, "REST, VACATION, ENJOY BIG Z!"
The other part of me says, "Must keep following up. Must keep taking action. Must stay in the game --- perhaps, however, with more balance in our life and less intensity ;-)."
RECOMMENDATION:
CHECK YOUR PAYMENTS to PAYMENT CARD MONTHLY (somewhere before the 10th of the month). I learned the hard way after discovering a recent payment in MAY onto our payment card for all of our new World Changer TEAM pay that the company will charge you a $2.95 fee per month you leave your money in their system. This means I will likely never see a very valuable $8.85 over the last three months. WHY? I didn't realize how quickly TEAM PAY for WORLD CHANGERS adds up and therefore didn't even consider we had a payment! Nor did I realize ADP charged this fee if you had money in the account. OOOoooops! You can bet I won't intentionally make that mistake again!
BE MORE MINDFUL THAN I WAS . . . PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR COMMISSION PAYOUT and when you're getting close to the MAGIC NUMBER you have set in your back office under your "Update Account Information". Be sure to watch when your payments are added to your ADP Total Pay card so you can snatch that cash off the card as soon as possible!
We have on our goal sheet that our Miracle Team time would last until August 14, 2009. Therefore, as much as I'd like to fall into a slump in a few days (lol), we will stay the course and continue to work our plan.
As I discovered our pay and what happens when WORLD CHANGERS join your team and how QUICKLY that BOLSTERS your COMMISSIONS, well, I realized at a much deeper level why Jacki and Ginny have been telling us of the power of 5 World Changers. Developing World Changers is just "good business sense".
While in there, I found an unexpected three new business malls that likely came as a thank you for being on the Customer Service Team. They all came in over the weekend when I was taking leisure and renewal time . . . and I didn't receive the email notification due to strange happenings with that host provider for the last few months.
So, when we look at our goals set for Miracle Team, which has turned into Boot Camp, I see results. Unexpected results. We're often told to ask for what we want. Write it out. Then, let go of the outcome.
Since we began our journey with Miracle Team, we asked to personally sponsor 35 people into our foundation malls who are in alignment with the TWCCTW philosophy and who desire a legitimate revenue stream in their lives in the form of a home business.
Personally sponsor to me meant that we would do the fancy footwork; I forgot all about Divine Intervention ;-).
Therefore, our three newly discovered malls, though not in our foundation mall, count.
Therefore, the other three malls, 1 World Changer and 2 Business Malls count (also not under this foundation, but another sponsor mall).
Therefore, our new World Changer from Idaho counts.
And, we had a World Changer in early June as we began Miracle Team.
This is 8 malls.
We have at least three folks who are on the cusp of signing up (maybe more, just have to go over my paperwork to double-check). There are others we are due to follow-up with in time.
Therefore, I let go of our outcome again and just let the flow happen. We are grateful for however it is our team members come to us. We are happy to have each and every one of them.
Now, what's going to be even more wonderful is to see our team members have their teams grow!

Day 23 ----- A World Changer Day!
We love World Changers?
You know we LOVE World Changers!!!
We have a World Changer who joined our team TODAY:
Please welcome our new World Changer Terry B. from Idaho!!!!!
Terry has been looking a long while for a program that will help her bolster her retirement, help her stay home more, get her off her feet more since her job requires standing on concrete, and to let go of her commute to work.
She said YES! to My Power Mall because she likes our system, she loves our philosophy of giving, and she said she enjoyed talking with me and that we could laugh together--- add to it the certificates which bring her back $600 over the course of the year, and she's happy to find us.
By the time I had called her for our follow-up today, Terry had been online all morning researching our company and checking out the features in her back office, familiarizing herself with our training and I found her in our MPM Marketplace getting ready to purchase an advertising aid -- a MUG. She received her Welcome Letter, so we got right to work sharing with her some of the most pertinent information that will help her be successful as she begins.
Terry is yet another example of the saying, "A lead is never too old." Terry sought information about a year ago and never really found what she wanted, so instead began an online training course to get her ready for a career change. I am thrilled that I picked up the phone to call her and that she is now part of our Giving Together Is Good Foundation Mall Team, which is really Big Z's Enterprise Team!!!
We are happy to have you, Terry!!!
We are happy to have EVERYONE on Big Z's Enterprise Team! Without you, we are nothing! It's only TOGETHER that we help each other and help TWCCTW keep expanding the envelope of its powerful vision ---
We got some of our Business Partnership Information copied from the business site and onto our hard drive, which we then transferred to a disk to take to the copy store.
We went out to meet our India restaurant friends and were happy the children were there with Mom. She sat us down with the young boys and thus began an hour or so of time together.
Unfortunately, they didn't get to watch the full video since she's been busy, her hubby out of town, and her eldest boy got ill. She did her best to get the computer hooked up at the table, but we found her hardware needed a mandatory upgrade and she wasn't comfortable with the process since her husband always takes care of that. She wants to have her son be the information translator for our language barrier; she feels he's able to understand and translate for her with much more ease. He didn't, however, watch the video either. So, we scheduled for our earliest opportunity, next Wednesday, and the rest of our time was spent visiting amongst the boys and strengthening our connection. This week her time is full; and Mondays are always busy for me, and Tuesday I head back south to my eye doctor which will take a good chunk of my day.
After we departed our folks there, we headed to the copy store to make copies.
We made a few copies of the fliers for display to sell Solar Oven Factory Certificates, made more solar oven fliers, made copies of the receipts and sign-up sheets, and then looked around the store for a few minutes. We caught the eyes of a young gal as her Mom paid for all her school supplies, and so even though we were switched to another line and needed to get to the Chinese restaurant, I pulled out a card and gave it to her so she and her Mom can save big money next time. Big Z was already feeling hot and restless, and with hands full, figured it was the best for that moment.
As we walked to the restaurant, we ran into someone who had seen us in the store (I guess I wasn't paying much attention!) and she is the step-mother of a former classmate of Big Z's. So we had a few pleasantries and were on our way.
Our next meeting went okay, but we hope for better next time. The Mom owner had to step out and she had us talk with her husband. He speaks little English, and understands more. Over all the years he's waited on us, rarely does he speak. Their daughter was there, and had grown, grown, grown, and so she was our help today. She even went to get a notepad to take notes for her father! So, we made it through the best we could leaving information for his wife when she returned. We found out they have Internet at the restaurant, but no email that works --- so, we'll have to see what we can do about that. So, we left copies of the home page of the BPP website, and the Solar Oven Flier, our biz card, and I forgot (even though they were now fresh in the bag) the copy of the Someone Believes In You Story with the World Changer Information on the back ;-). Next time ;-).
We got enough copies to get us through a few handfuls of local merchants . . .
We'll continue to get more and more brave as we take each step ;-).
Have a great rest of the week everyone, and thank you! Thank you! Thank YOU! for all your support and encouragement!
