7th Day of Boot Camp

Well, color me embarassed! I have totally spaced on blogging and reporting my progress. So sorry for those of you following my adventure.



I met a couple of people at Grocery Outlet that were willing to listen and interested enough to give me their information. I have followed up with email and phone calls. I hadn't heard back so I called again tonight and reached 1. She is a student and having finals so she has been very busy. She asked for an email to remind her and to include the link so she could look at the video as soon as she could take a breath. She sounded really interested. I followed the phone call with an email and am looking forward to talking with her again on Monday. I am still trying to reach the other lady I met.



Tonight I spoke with another gal who works at our local Fred Meyer. I needed labels for the homemade Kahlua I make at Christmastime and she helped me to find some. She was so nice, when she asked me if there was anything else she could do? I said well yes, I am part of a company called My Power Mall and they are holding a World Changer Reality Boot Camp. There are 25 people working the boot camp and I am following their lead and working it too. We are going from $0 per month to $2,000 per month in 60 days and we are gathering 10 people from our community to build with us. Would you be interested in adding an extra $2000 per month to what you already make? She smiled and said yes, do you have a card? I said yes I do and pulled out of my back pocket an invitation. I introduced myself, pointed out my name, email, link, and phone. She asked what she had to do? I pointed out the name of the website, the harmon family foundation, and told her that we each were encouraged to sponsor a nonprofit organization and to build our business under them and take them along with us so as we grew they grew. I told her that what we did to make money was shop on our own mall where over 1100 stores paid us rebates whenever we made a purchase and that if shopping was not how we liked to spend our money we buy American Express Gift Cards and receive rebates then use these cards to pay for our individual overheads like gas, utilities, groceries, taxes, etc. Then we follow the boot campers example and do just exactly what they are being taught to do and all our training and tools to do our business are supplied and free. I asked her for her name, as I pulled out a pad of paper and pen. She gave me her name and then I asked her to write down her email and phone number and told her I would give her a call to talk with her about the video but that I would give her time to look over the video and maybe call her on Saturday or did she work on Saturday? She said she would be working on Saturday but would be off on Friday, so I told her I would call on Friday. I thanked her for helping me, smiled, and told her it would be fun to work with her. She said thanks, smiled and walked away.



I do not find talking with people difficult. I don't know what it is, but I always feel uncomfortable about blindsiding a person in public. Now, if we are conversing and I'm asked what do you do, I have no problem talking about my work. So, as you can see I am very much out of my comfort zone but I definitely want this business and I will be successful!! As a sidebar, I had purchased leads and called nearly all of them before the BC, I have also been following up with them with emails and next week I will be making phone calls.



I thought I heard on one of the calls that there was a link in our back office for letters to send to businesses. I have been looking and have been having computer problems but I would appreciate someone mentioning on the call where I can find these letters. Thanks, Donna

5th Day of Boot Camp

Well, I forgot to blog last night but I have been out and about and open to talking with people. I am very committed to this business and have decided to change my approach. Just walking up to people in a mall or public arena is difficult for me. When I was doing the Mary Kay business that is the primary approach they wanted me to persue and I had difficulty doing it then as well. So, another approach is the business partnership.

I am going to redirect my nonprofit mall from TWCCTW to the Loaves & Fishes Center or the Oregon Food Bank. So many of the BC Team had the idea for using them as their gifting center and I like that lead, so I will do that as well. Since this is my family's nonprofit center I want to put in the nonprofit they like. I will talk to both this week. This is a great IDEA!! and I am very excited about doing something to improve our community's financial situation.

Yesterday, I spoke with a lady that indicated she thought this was a pyramid. We discussed what a pyramid was and how different MPM was from the multi-levels of the world. I told her about the win/win this organization offers and the support to nonprofits we give. She asked how and why the stores on the mall give rebates when they have their own website and people can buy on those and they don't have to pay out anything. I told her that it was a way to get people to shop on their websites and that MPM is growing with more and more people participating they are increasing the buying by giving us the rebate. I explained the AmEx Gift Card to her and she gave me her information and said that her daughter is the one to shop online. So, when I followed up, I sent her an email and discussed the mlm again, emphasising Ginny's experience and the concept of win/win and changing the world, and told her she can forward this email and link to her daughter if she wanted to get her input. I called her and there was no answer and no way to leave a message.

I spoke with my mechanic today about the MPM opportunity and he referred me to his wife, so I will speak with her today. He did not have her email address but will be in the office today for a short while. On Sunday I approached 5 people in Grocery Outlet and 2 people gave me their information. I sent emails to each and called them both. Neither answered so I left a message for 1 and the other didn't have a machine.

I know that I am not building as fast or as successfully as the BC Team, but I am not letting that direct me away from my commitment. This is the job I have chosen. This is the business that will help me to fulfill my dreams! I will do build this business everyday. I am on the road to success and I may not be speeding but I will be successful. I will persist and I will SUCCEED!!!! I might not find it comfortable to walk up to people in the mall but I can talk to people in other venues and I WILL!

My target this week is to contact businesses that support Loaves and Fishes with money and with people from their organization volunteering. I will make appointments with the corporate philanthropy organizer and I will present this progam to them. Prayers are always welcomed.
