WHOA! What a day! I mean, sheesh!
First, I was determined to get my five people today. I have a confession to make however.
After the call this morning, I drove 30mins away and spent an hour and a half wandering around a shopping mall in Midalnd, Mi. trying to work up the courage to just talk to somebody. I was disappointed to find out that I didn't have any. I talked to my wife and she helped me get more confidence. So, I went out once more and talked to a cashier.... I got a no.
I did eventually get my five contacts but I still haven't learned how not to rely on my warm market.
This also was not a very good day for follow-ups. I suppose everyone was out shopping.
Seriously you guys! How in the world do y'all brake through that paralyzing, debilitating fear!
I will make this one of my goals for the next 55 days. I WILL learn how to talk to people!
As you can tell I'm very frustrated and dissapointed with myself.
When a child is learning how to walk they fall 999 times. Yet they get right back up and try again and again and again!
I have a few people just waiting to tell me that this World Changer Mall business doesn't work. Well, I'll take a thousand no's before I take one I told you so!

World Changer Boot Camp Day 3
Day 3 was not quite as eventful, but it is getting a little easier. Thank God for my warm market!
I started making calls before the conference call this morning. I did some follow ups as well....
I didn't just call people, I did some face-to-face contacting as well. I talked to my sister and asked her if she was doing any Christmas shopping online. She said, "No. Not really." So I asked her, "If I could show you a way to get a rebate from everything you spend money on would you be interested in finding out more?" She said she would at least check it out.
As far as the phone went, it was pretty much the same magical question: "Can you help me out?", or "(small talk, finding out what they need) well, I have something that can help get you out of debt (or whatever the case my be)!
Then for my follow through calls, out of ten calls, I only got one person. The rest were answering machines. I will try them again tomorrow. The one gentlemen I did get on the phone said he lost the invite card I gave him. So I asked him to grab a pen and paper and take down my URL.
He delightfully did, and I scheduled monday to get back in touch with him.
Productive day I would say! I'm proud of everyone sticking with it and getting it done. I've been reading others blogs and I look forward to reading more!
Cant wait for tomorrow!

World Changer Boot Camp Day 2
Today was eventful. I finally got out on the roads and managed to stay out of the ditch!
I had a blast cultivating friendships, I even ran into a friend I haven't seen in 2 years!
So, here's how my day went...
I'm starting out kinda easy, talking to people I already know. I'm not apologizing, I'll be stretching myself soon enough! :-)
Anywho, I went on a whim to have lunch with a friend who plays bass in our band. His 13 yr. old daughter, and his wife joined us. It was fun getting to know everyone better! After 5 pieces of pizza, I started small talking Loren (my friend) about my current job situation. I said "I'm gonna be really busy the next 60 days with this World Changer Reality Boot Camp I'm doing,". You should have seen the puzzling look on his face. I continued, "I'm committed to take at least 10 people from $0 to $2000 in the next sixty days. I was wondering if you could help me? See, I have a goals of making 5 contacts everyday, (as I pulled out an invite card from my back pocket) all I need is a name, email, and phone#. And although I already have your name and phone number, I don't have your email address." So, he gave it to me. His daughter chimed in asking what we were talking about and I basically told her the same thing. She wanted to know what it was, so I said (pulling another invite card from my back pocket and handing it to her), "well, go to that website on this card, and formulate any questions I'll call y'all tomorrow to follow up... K?" I duplicated that same "script" to Lorens wife a little while later and just like that in about and hour I got my first three contacts! I can't wait to see how it goes with a total stranger! I didn't stop there, I went down the road to see another friend at his place of business. I spent most of my time here, building on our relationship.
He owns a business in the worst county in the worst state as far as economy goes. So, we talked about how business was going and I let him talk... and talk... and talk some more. :-) When he was done, I said "Dave, I think I can help, at least a little bit." He replied "Oh really, how's that?"
So, I said "Dave I know you're in a lot of debt and business is slowing down. (pulling yet another invite card from my back pocket) I want to give you a way to save some money and possibly make some on the side to help eliminate that debt." He took it looked at it and sat back in his chair giving me that you're-trying-to -sell-me-something glare. I called him on it and we laughed! I continued, "Listen man, what if you could pay your bills on line and get a rebate from them?" he said, "I already pay my bills online."
I said, "do you get any money back from them like a rebate?" I think it finally clicked there. He said, "no." I pointed to the card and said, "You would if you paid your bills through mypowermall.com!"
He finally softened realizing I was only trying to help. He said he'd take a look at it. I then proceeded to tell him about the Boot Camp. I used almost the same words with Dave as I did with my last three friends. So, he gladly gave me his information! BOOM! I
acquired my 4th contact!
Riding a wave of excitment, I decided to use a little more imagination this time. I went to my library to get a movie. I know the lady that usually works there.
Thinking I could talk to her I soon discovered upon walking in that she wasn't working tonight. So I resolved myself once again to make an effort to meet someone new. Well, it turned out I didn't have to. As I was looking at the vast movie selection, a young man came up beside me and said, "excuse me, but do you know Scott K.?" To make a very long story not-so short, it turned out to be the younger brother of a guy I worked with. we all went snowboarding together about 2 years ago. I haven't seen this family in quite a while! Naturally, I was delighted to see him again and got a little caught up at least. in the mist of our conversation, I told him about the World Changer Mall, and the boot camp I was in. Using the same duplicate able system I used with the last four people, he gave me his information!
I couldn't hardly believe it! I met my goal once again. What a feeling! Relief, joy, accomplishment! Now all I need is a WCM sign up....

World Changer Reality Boot Camp Day 1 of action
We've been let loose, with our cage open, we've been unleashed. I, for one, hit a wall right from the get go. You see, as I was on our first call this morning, outside, the snow had started to fall.
Before the call was over the roads had become treacherous. I didn't realize it until i stepped out of the room and looked out the window.
Cursing the snow I resolved myself to do whatever it took to get my 5 contacts and 1 WCM sign up. With Magic Beans in hand I snatched the land line phone up and began going through my cell phone address book.
An hour and a half later, I had acquired 1 Business Mall sign up and 4 other contacts.
It was not easy (I'm sure I'm not the only one writing that), and very frustrating as well as disappointing not getting a WCM sign up. I could control how many people I contacted but I could not control their ultimate decision.
I'll wake up tomorrow and give it my all again. It's gonna be interesting to see what I can come up with because the weatherman is predicting snow falling till Wednesday. 3-6 more inches! yeah baby!

World Changer Reality Boot Camp: Day after acceptance
Tomorrow is fast approaching. I've been feeling a change coming for some time now and I've been craving some adventure. I guess being laid off has made me kinda antsy.
While I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I have the butterfly's in my stomach just like the ones I have just before I go on stage with my band.
And just like performing with my band I know I'm not alone in this boot camp, but I still feel exclusive cause everyone's watching.
Also, the butterfly's that I get just before performance (I call it game day) are a sure sign that I'm going to do just fine. However, I am comforted by these butterfly's because they are the kind that disappear as I walk out on stage.
As I walk out onto the stage of the "MPM Glass Bowl", the butterfly's are disappearing. So, here I go wish me luck and pray for me. I'm going to give it everything I have and at the same time, find out just exactly what I'm made of.

WCRBC Acceptance Day!
I am so excited and kinda nervous. I've never been part of anything this big before!
Okay, this is how it played out:
My internet was down all day so I gave my login info to my mom and she was checking it all day for me. Well, at about 4:30pm she called and said "congratulations!"! I was blown away! I couldn't believe it! I ran outside where my wife Kirsti was pushing our daughter on a swing and gave her a huge hug and said "I'm in sweetie!". I'm usually an emotional guy, but my head is spinning to fast for me to take time to cry.
So, Here I am staring down day 1 of the World Changer Mall Reality Boot Camp! I've got a lot of work to do yet.
To be Continued....
