Day 3 and 4: Comedy

I got behind.....in the world of track that's never a good thing. You need to stay on pace! But...I'm planning on making up some calls this week and getting this whole thing even and squared away!

So.....I made 125 calls today! SWEET!!!! Actually today I got my tushy kicked pretty hard. The numbers didn't add up today. But the cool thing is that my call reluctance is fading.

Here are a few of my adventurous calls today.

#1 Barb the disabled lady who already had a business but felt $125 overhead for a business was to high. (Anyone know what the franchise fee each year for McDonald's is? Just curious)

#2 Jim Jones the homeless guy at the homeless shelter (for real)

#3 Judy (the lady with the loud sigh on the phone when I mentioned "Home Business")

#4 Billy Bob (who wanted me to give him a 10 second run down on "what it was all about")

After a while....some of the calls started to become amusing. But you know what? Its just a reminder that its a qualifying business. Some will, some won't, So what.......

The ONE thing that stuck out to me was obvious. Some of these prospects were on their last thread of hope. Some of these prospects were so far gone when I called them that even if I waved a million dollars in the air...they wouldn't move.

This business is not a joke and I hope that every single on of you reading this right now take this thing serious. We have people who are placing their last hope on this business. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to train them? Are you going to help them build the business? Are you going to hold their hand and walk across the finish line together?

What if I told you that right now as you read this post there is a single mother with three kids out there that is searching the Internet. Guess why she is searching the Internet? She is looking for hope. So, she goes to Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com praying that some miracle will pop out at her and give her a job or some kind of income that will allow her to support herself and her family. What does she find? She finds an ad that promises her information on how to make money from home and on the Internet.......and then she runs across scam after scam after scam.........

But not you. You can provide the one voice of hope through the darkness. You can show her a way. That's what this business can do.

You have an awesome responsibility to get the word out about your opportunity. Don't you dare sit down and even think about turning on the television without talking with at least 3 people about your opportunity today. Make a list and contact them. Make another list because you probably forgot 80% of the people you know. Call them. Get on facebook. Share your opportunity. Get on Twitter. Share your opportunity. Get involved with Chamber of Commerce. Share your opportunity. Get involved........and share your opportunity.

And that part.......is not funny. Its not comedy. Its very, very serious. We have a responsibility as business owners...so lets do it.
