You probably read the last post and realized I was near melt-down. Then I found relief (well, actually 4 – my sister who told me about WordPress, her assistant who got me set up, Roy from Cyprus, who wrote me an encouraging email detailing exactly what to do next and lastly, Duncan in England, who knows WordPress and will get me completely set up.
I’m giving you Roy’s and Duncan’s links because they deserve my support and they are the ones to go to if you want to get into Internet Marketing or Blogging. Whereas Roy has been like a mentor to me for my ebooks, Duncan has saved the day so that I can get them out to the public. He was responsive, professional, encouraging, thorough, and on top of that, patient to teach me the technical side of website making (site development) so that I can actually go forward with this big dream of mine.
As you know, my full time work-a-day world is Furniture sales, and boy has the economy hit it hard. But I’ve studied cycles for years so I know that this is not a linear thing. At the point when all of us salespeople grow weary and begin to pack our bags, I expect the “money tree” will ripen again. Sales is not a fun profession really. Usually you’re in someone’s space (they think) and they don’t like it. But the reason I do it is because it’s like when I went on Easter Egg hunts when I was a little girl, I desperately wanted the Golden Egg. (Can you Boomers remember Mother Goose shoes? If you bought them, you got a Golden Egg! My mother always took us there because of those eggs and somehow my neighbor found them in her backyard on Easter morning (smart marketing even 50 years ago). For a few years, my neighbor was getting golden eggs and I just couldn’t understand why our yard was not.)
Oh, the point – sales is like that – 1 in 10 times of saying hello to folks and showing them around the Showroom, and I’ll finally find a ”Golden Egg”, and it’s so much FUN when I do!
The crickets, the frogs are singing out of my window. Now I’m going to watch one of my favorite shows (with Naomi Judd) “Can you Duet?” I just love the married couple – Joey & Rory – her voice is rich and mellow. UPDATE – Joey & Rory placed 3rd, Will & Caitlin placed 1st. Both were fantastic!! Of course, the 2nd place guys, Brownell & Richey were great too. Be watching for them in the next few months because they’ll be on our country radio stations.
