Lawrence's Kaldor's story-Never GIve Up

Here is the story of someone I met on Twitter. He has a website, that he sells a copy of a romantic DVD comedy where the proceeds go to benefit two different charities that help those who have lost a limb.

Twenty Four Years ago I was in a traumatic plane crash – never give up

I lost my left leg, my right eye and my father -- never give up

I was pronounced dead three times during my 1 year hospitalization -- never give up

…I survived!!!

I made a film about my own true sibling rivalry – I was told of the impossibility of making a feature film -- never give up

One week before principal photography my lead actress backed out -- never give up

On a daily basis I was riddled with one production crisis after another -- never give up

“You’ll never get international pop star Cher interested.” – after two years of pursuing her, she gave us her music – never give up

“You’ll never get a corporate sponsor to give you any money” – Subway came in, paid for our re-shoots, gave us a location and took us to festivals – never give up!!!

…We completed the film!!! --- Never give up.

In 2001 after a wonderful festival run we got distribution -- never give up

On September 13, 2001 my financing and distribution was withdrawn because of the bombing on 9/11 – as we had a comedy with the World Trade Center in it – “NO ONE will ever want to laugh at a movie about people in NYC.” -- never give up

…The film sat around for years -- never give up.

In 2006 despite advice of friends and peers I spent my own money to re-shoot, re-edit, re-mix, re-score, add new music, remove the trade center, and update the film – everyone said it was a waste of money -- never give up

In 2008 we completed the film and got distribution at AFM – three weeks later my distribution company, a prosperous and solid company, went out of business due to internal conflicts -- never give up

I decided to self distribute – everyone said that was a bad idea -- never give up

I planned to give the proceeds to charity -- never give up

People are constantly telling me of the uphill battle to raise awareness – people are constantly telling me what cannot be done –

The people on twitter have been wonderful – I want to get the word out – I want people to give to these two worth while charities – and by Easter I’d love to present Cher with an impressive check for CCA and Dan Sorkin with an impressive check for SRU.

And my Saga continues…. And I NEVER… EVER give up!!!

Peace and much love ~Laurence N. Kaldor

36 Weeks and 4 days

Hello everyone! I'm back. I had to take some time off from blogging to tend to a sick son, then I ended up with the cold, and then my husband got the flu. But now we are all feeling healthy again and trying to get ready for our new arrival...which could be very soon!

I have been listening to the coaching calls that are recorded on a daily basis. I'm especially enjoyed hearing ideas from everyone and hearing people work through their goals. I realized that I needed to take a look at my goals and why I was not reaching them. I think I now have a better idea of what it takes to reach those goals to define an action plan to reach them. I thought it would be appropriate to set some new ones (since a week off and I'm really behind from the ones I set before...).

9 months or 40 weeks. It seems like a long time away at the beginning of nine months...but now that I am nearing the end of nine months I am wondering where the time has gone. It does not seem like I am almost through the nine months.

So I have set my goals to be met within the next 9 months. Conveniently, that's the end of 2009. I want to have at least 10 new people in my downline that are building teams of their own. I plan on making at least 5 new contacts a week and following up with previous contacts on a weekly basis. That means at least 5 % of my contacts need to decided to change their lives and become My Power Mall Members. I also understand that there may be a week or two involved with life changes where I may not be able to get my 5 contacts. But I will make up for it the week before or after.

Glad to be back. I have to go catch up on some emails now and get some rest!
