End of the First Week

It's Friday...today was extremely busy as I celebrated Thanksgiving for the second day in a row with my family. I am extremely thankful for my family and the many blessings that I have received. As I reflect on the week, I have realized a few things:

1. I am challenged every day to build my business-yet I strive to "Do what it takes"
   
2. Each day, it gets a little bit easier, but still is a challenge. I am finding myself paying closer attention to the people around me; making sure I smile at them, hold the door for them, say hello, etc. I used to go through my day without really seeing anyone.
   
3. I want to build my business so I can help others do the same--and help a local charity.
4. When people turn down the opportunity to get more information about the business, I do not need to take it personally.
   

I did something today that I have never done. I got up early and went shopping on black Friday. It should have been easy to go and get "my 5" people to discuss how My Power Mall can change their lives. The store I went to was crowded, but I was amazed at how focused people were at trying to get what they wanted from that store and then hurry up to get to the next store. There were actually people shopping together that were yelling what time it was to each other from across the store so they could keep track of the time and stay on schedule. Ironically, the only thing that I needed to buy was some prenatal vitamins. I did get the nerve to talk to two people that seemed like they would be willing to talk to me about My Power Mall. One did not have a computer, but was very nice; the other politely declined giving me her information. That was really all the time I had to try to meet new people to talk about MPM.

I also tried talking some of my family members who had heard about what I was doing. Actually their words were "Did you join a cult?". It is amazing how other "Internet businesses" or "work at home opportunities" can make someone so quick to turn down an opportunity like MPM. There really is no opportunity like it--you can earn money back on everything you spend, you don't have to stock or sell any products, and you simply refer others to take advantage of the opportunity along with you!

That is all for now. I am going to spend the weekend working on following up with those people that I have talked to, along with continuing to think of ways to discuss My Power Mall with others I meet throughout the weekend.

The end of a busy but better day

Today turned out to be busier than expected. I managed to make the morning call but was busier the rest of the day with my other job, so suddenly it was 4 and time to get on the road for our thanksgiving trip. I definately understand the advice about starting early.

I really wanted to still talk to my 5 people. I need the practice so it will get easier. I did manage to talk to several people at the place we stopped for dinner, and one of them gave me their info! YAY! That didn't seem so bad!

I used people that I already knew for my other 4 contacts for the day since it there were no other opportunities to talk to someone new. I feel great about the one person that was interest and can't wait to send her an email!

Good night and happy thanksgiving!

The end of the day...

Well I wish I could report that the rest of my day went better than the first part of my day. I did go to the gas station and the grocery store--talked to several people and handed them invitation cards, but none were willing to give me their email addresses. I rushed home but managed to call two leads that I needed to talk to while cooking dinner and getting my son ready for bed so I was ready for the 8 o'clock call.

I know my results are very different that other campers, but I feel like I have done made a huge accomplishment today. I have done more to build my business today than in the entire year that I have been a My Power Mall member. I'm not going to give up, I know it will only get easier...

With all that said...I hope I sleep better tonight than I did last night...

Day 1-Why is this so difficult for me?

Day 1- As I got of the call last night, it seemed so simple-just talk to 5 people every day and then you will be successful. It is simple. Yet how can something so simple be so difficult?

I worked on getting the cards printed out and tried to plan my attack. I couldn't fall asleep because I was busy thinking about how I was going to talk to 5 people the next day. You have to realize, I am someone who hates talking on the phone and certainly avoids talking to strangers.

So I decided that I would stop by staples this morning and get some supplies to be able to print out the cards in color. Guess there is not much going on at Staples at 8 AM because there was no one there. I went to the mall at lunch-it's getting to cold outside to walk and I need to exercise anyway. I finally got enough nerve to talk to two people, but they were not interested in giving me their information and the next thing I knew my lunch hour was over and I was going to be late.

I am still determined to be able to get 5 before the 8pm call this evening. I guess I will need to stop for gas on my way home for work (even though I have over a half tank). I've read so many other's blogs saying they were able to talk to their 5 people in a short amount of time-so I can do this too, right?

The Day Before...

Tomorrow is the start of the World Changer Reality Boot Camp--a training program by My Power Mall to build my business to earn $2,000 in 60 days. I'm excited about the opportunity to finally be building a down line and be successful in creating some additional income to help pay off some bills. I've been a My Power Mall member for over a year and so far have only made $1.84--commissions on my own spending. Before you leave this blog and go looking for some other work at home opportunity, let me clarify...the reason that I have made so little is I have not put a consistent effort into building. You cannot just expect to log into the internet one day and the next day be making millions without putting something into it.

The day before something big is always a difficult one...my mind is racing about the next two months because I do not know what to expect--except that I will be busy. With my regular job, my family and Thanksgiving and Christmas, I will have to make the time to put into My Power Mall and be disciplined to use my time wisely. I just hope that I will succeed and be able to help others reach their goals as well. I would hate to fail and have taken up a spot in the program that someone else could have used for success. I understand that this opportunity is an incredible privilege and I will definitely take advantage of it.
