Day 2 - Whew!

Okay - so every day's not going to be that piece of cake but good none the less because of the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, and that's always a good thing.

My husband claims that since we moved to Florida in 2004 I've become a hermit basically because I spend far too much time indoors and mainly at the computer in my efforts to produce an income. And he's right! So, me committing to go out everyday into the wild blue yonder and make one on one contact with 5 people everyday is amazing him. Frankly it's amazing me!

I have to admit that today was a bit tougher than yesterday...maybe it was me..maybe it was the locations I visited or just the time of day??? But the important thing is that I didn't give up or get discouraged and I didn't come home until I had my 5 for the day.

It all seemed to flow easier for me when I changed my approach from asking if they'd like to 'help me', to opening with "can I ask you a question?"...

Walking up to total strangers and starting a conversation isn't always easy and you may not always feel up on your game so to say but it's not Rocket Science either. I think we sometimes have a tendency to make it more difficult than it is or should be.

I look for 2 simple things in or about a person before I approach them to break the ice:

1. Do they have a name tag on? If so, then I use their name when I speak to them. It makes it personal for them - people enjoy hearing their name and I'm more apt to remember more about them from our conversation. I try to say their name at least 3 times during the brief conversation.
2. Is there something about them that you can compliment them on? Good hairdo, fashionable purse, perhaps they're wearing a color that just 'pops' on them... Again, it makes it personal to them and it's appreciated. They'll remember that.

Smile - make eye contact and just be yourself. Meeting new people is fun and if you're reading this because you stumbled on it, got one of my invitation cards, are checking out My Power Mall or you're a Power Mall member, I want you to know that this home based business is simple and makes so much sense. There's nothing about My Power Mall that isn't duplicatable even if you ARE a Rocket Scientist!

So, I don't have a sign up yet from the Boot Camp but I'm planting seeds and watering them and that's more than I was doing last week :-)

Til tomorrow...
