We are getting pounded with rain today.
The weather is no reflection on my mood however! :-)
I did my follow ups, and got a little postponed. The gentleman I contacted on Facebook has had to move our appointment to Friday.
That's pretty much all I got done today. It's been one thing right after another. And I feel like I'm coming down with something. I think 3rd. shift is taking it's toll.
Only a few more days... I'm gonna make 'em count!

Boot Camp Day 45
Okay, I know I'm off by about 10 days. But I suppose I wasn't counting weekends.
I'm doing well enough for now. I finally got to exchange info with my co-worker this morning. I'll be following up with her as soon as I can.
Speaking of follow ups. I'm not sure why but one of my recent contacts either changed or just plain disconnected their number.
I've been thinking a lot about what Phil was saying about attitudes. I've been working on mine. Instead of complaining, I'm being thankful for my opportunities and therefore more joyful. I think it's effecting those around me too. My work relationships are improving. So, that's awesome.
only 3 more hours and I'm back to work...
Here we go again! lol

Boot Camp Day 43-44
The last week of boot camp is going by WAY too fast!
Today, I was very successful with answering machines once again.
Both with leads and follow ups. I did make one contact tonight on facebook, though! So, I suppose that's good.
My most recent sign up, Sherry, got one sign up under her and in turn that person got a sign up! That's exciting!
Tomorrow, I'm going to make a hard effort to double my efforts. It's doesn't help though when you're wading through answering machines and other things come up from time to time clamouring for your attention. I shall keep pressing on however!

Boot Camp Day 41-42
I apologize for not staying up on my blogging.
As you all know I'm back to work full time, on midnights.
I've been averaging only one hour in which to do my contacting. I've been fortunate enough not to be running into too many answering machines.
I made 2 contacts and I'm optomistic about at least one of them. The gentleman knows the networking industry. So, that's exciting. I think that when he see's the presentation, he'll definitely jump on it!
I follow up with them monday.

Boot Camp Day 40
Wow. 3rd. shift has not been easy to get used to. But I'm getting there.
I'm not getting very good sleep, and I'm averaging an hour for lead calls. I am having some good luck though. I got one lead tonight. The follow ups were all answering machines, so I'll try again tomorrow.
I'm still very tired.... But I'm getting it done....

Boot Camp Day 38-39
The last couple days has been interesting.
I fell behind in the polls for the radio DJ contest. I am now currently 2nd. behind by 50 or so.
I've been called back to work on 3rd shift and I started last night. I'm not doing too hot. The ware and tear of the last couple of days has finally caught up with me.
However, I am committed to finishing this boot camp, and finishing as well as I can without violating my conscience. I only have 1 more week.
I've made 2 contacts tonight. I tell ya, though. If answering machines were contacts, I'd be kicking this thing! lol
Anyway.... Please vote for me and tell your friends. Go to: www.myfusefm.com and cast your vote.

Boot Camp Day 37
It was another one of those days!!!
After the radio show this morning, I went about my daily chores before I went to make contacts, only to discover the goats had destroyed some stall doors in the barn and they needed to be repaired immediately so that I could again separate the buck from the does.
After spending a good portion of my day on that, I got something to eat and hit the phones.
One machine right after another. Finally, I got to speak to someone! They already had a home-based business and weren't interested in looking at anymore. So I asked questions about that. I asked them what it was that they do, and how it was going. And by doing that I found out their WHY. She has a son with a disability. So, directed the conversation over to NPO's and I said, "So, I assume you have experience with Non-Profit Organizations." She said "yes." I went on to tell her a little bit about how MPM was originally founded to help NPO's create on going funding! Then I said, "I know you must be doing really great at your business, but if you could harness the power of everyday, spending, purchases you make anyway, and help support your chosen NPO, would you at least take a look at it? She said "sure, but I'm really busy and my husband is the expert in this field, so he would have to look at it." I told her that was fine and we exchanged contact information!
Now I tried to nail down a date and time when I could follow up, but she kept heming and hawing and I really couldn't get a straight answer out of her.
So, I said, "Well, you have my contact info. So, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!" And we left it at that. I am going to follow up in a few days though.
All in all, the whole day wasn't a complete loss. :-)
I also found out that I'm one of 3 in the semi-finals for the contest at the local radio station! Now, all I need to get to the finals is your vote! Go to: www.myfusefm.com and cast your vote. You can listen to my audition spot, and listen to the station all online! Voting goes until Feb 5th. Also, tell as many as you can. If I win I get a 6 month internship with the possibility of a paid possision at the station! I'd also get my foot seriously in the door... The station is an NPO!!!
So, go vote Friday! My success in becoming The Next Great FuseFM DJ is hinging on your vote!
