Day 16

Happy Tuesday everyone. I had fun again today going out and meeting new people. I also had the pleasure of seeing a couple of people I used to work with before we were all laid off. It made me realize how much I enjoyed working with these people. When I got home I thought how neat it really would be if we could work towards building our own businesses while also helping charities. We could work as a team and everyone could once again work together, only this time we could help others and together we could make a difference in the world.

I also ran into my daughter's sister-in-law while at the mall as well. I have been meaning to talk to her about MPM for awhile and never got around to it. Today was a good opportunity and I also talked to her co-worker who had heard me ask "What would you do with an extra $2000?" I think having an extra $2000 is great, but for a lot of us just having a few extra hundred dollars could make a mortgage payment, or a car payment. For some it would mean putting some food on the table.

One young lady that I met at the mall said she would save for a down payment for a house. She actually thanked me for talking to her. That really made me feel good, knowing that people don't really see this as a nuisance.

I also did some follow ups and people either hadn't looked yet or were still thinking about it. I guess this time of the year, people are really busy with holiday things. I am just happy that I can do a lot of my shopping online.

I agree, I agree, I agree!

Eleanor, I love reading your blogs. So true. For some people $2000 a month could seem like a fairy tale and unattainable so maybe depending on where you live you should adjust "Eleanor's Method" - don't you love that Eleanor? Make Eleanor's method work for you.

Thanks again Eleanor for such a great update today!

I had a great tilte but...

OK, I have to admit, I have the worst memory of anyone I know anymore. I used to have a mind like a trap but these days... what was I saying? Oh yeah, I was talking with Susan Huffstutler today and something we were saying really struck me as a good title for today's blog but of course I can't remember what it was since it was more then 9 or 10 hours ago. Susan will remember and I will be able to tell you tomorrow, if I remember to :)

Now onto my day. It was an action packed as always. I attended the calls, contacted local businesses about advertising (had to leave MANY messages but spoke to some), sent follow up e-mails and intro letters out. Spoke to so many of the "Campers" and Alternates - that really fills my days lately and called all of my contacts from the past two weeks. I answered countless MPM e-mails, bugged Owen (our Tech guy) many more times then he would have liked to request reports that apparently make his head spin and got some other requests from him back quickly. Speaking of which, I said I would send all of the camper's an e-mail tonight about how many hits you have received on your foundation mall site. Since I am tucked into my cozy bed with my laptop and my "real" computer is downstairs wit the info I need I will e-mail myself right now to send it in the morning. I bet you are worried I won't remember to do that either huh? Well I already e-mail myself so no chance!

When I looked at my calendar for tomorrow I realized I have 5 straight hours of conf. calls in the morning - early afternoon and then 2 more tomorrow night. I think tomorrow may have to be a 2 or 3 Starbucks day and I will have to hit it early to make my contacts before cementing the phone to my ear for the day.

I am looking forward to making more new personal contacts tomorrow and then working on new business contacts in the afternoon. I do love my job and its a good thing.

Time to turn off the lights because the kids will be up not too long from now.

Sleep tight,

Jacki

What a great day!

Today has been a great day. It started out with a friend of mine calling to touch base, we don't talk much since she moved to So. Va. I was heart broken to find out after moving her family down for her husbands job that he no longer had that job. Not only did the co. let him go but there was no severance or benefits for their family of 8! My jaw dropped, it is really hitting close to home now. I of course told her about MPM, actually she asked how it was going and I of course was happy to tell her. I also told her anyone that wasn't a MPM member is just plain crazy in this economy.

I also enjoyed hearing our "Guest" Barbara on the morning call today. All I have to say about that is... Brilliant!!!

The local merchant mall and BPP have been there for awhile, we started it back up last week and guess what? I hadn't even thought about putting my own co. on it (yes I also have a stained glass business) nor had I thought about approaching businesses about advertising to that many people for only $16 a month! Why not? Who knows. So I started down that path today and also made a list of local merchants to contact tomorrow.

Think about it, if you were trying to help out the economy wouldn't you want to start where you are first? I have a neighborhood that puts out a newsletter each months and lots of companies advertise in it. I want to start with the ones in my area to help their business and help with the advertising.

Tomorrow is going to be fun.

And to all a good night.

This has been a day...

Started out with a flat tire and so much since then I wouldn't remember it all if I tried. I will say this, not only did I have fun meeting my new contacts today but I touched base with 12 warm market people and sent out many e-mails to others to see when we can talk. I also worked with a lot of MPM members and reached out to my own teams whom I feel like I have lost touch with. There is a lot going on but I always want them to know I am here to help them succeed as well.

I would love to go into more detail but if my head doesn't hit the pillow soon it will hit the key board. I will touch base this weekend with a real blog but for now; Good Night!

Who would have thought...

Today I was on the Mgmt team call and I had a follow up appointment at my Dr. office - I ALWAYS try to multi-task. I got called in for my appointment and I finally let the others on the call know I had to hang up for a few moments. The woman doing my sonogram is the same person that saw me when I was pregnant with all 3 of my kids (possibly only 2 but I think all 3) so I have known her for many years although I don't know much about her. When I hung up the phone I said "Sorry, I had a conference call scheduled for the only time you all could fit me in for an appointment", she said "no problem, it's kinda cool. Sometimes in my profession you wonder what others in the real world do". I got to tell her about our company and how cool it is that you can actually make money on your every day purchases especially this time of year. When I was leaving I asked if I could send her an e-mail to give her a little more info and she said "sure, it sounds interesting". You never know when or where you are going to bump into people and have an opportunity to tell them what an amazing company we have. Kathy, if you are out there reading this - it was nice to meet see you again today. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hello Boot Campers

Hello everyone, it was another great day. I do love talking to people and finding out just what they would do with some extra income. Everything from paying bills, helping family to going on a vacation this year or putting it in savings. Some just want to be able to pay off their credit card bills after the holidays.

I also love the days when you are just going about your day and people basically just walk up and say, can you help me, it's a really hard time financially right now and I would love to give you my contact information and talk to you about what you are doing. Now did they really say those words? NO but... during a normal conversation people are telling me how hard this Christmas will be, how their kids will be so disappointing, how they are having a hard time paying their every day bills no less the extra expenses involved with the holidays. To me it sounds the same and I am so glad I do have what they need? In these cases I didn't have to ask what would you do with $2000? They are already telling me. I don't have to ask them to do me a favor, they are asking me for help. I am so proud to be with a company that offers help to anyone just doing exactly what they do every day, it can't get any better.

Not only did I make my contacts today but I also spent a lot of time working on things for all of the members. While Ginny was getting extremely sick today from food posioning (she thinks) she was able to hear the crys from the members. I sent her an e-mail explaining that I can't see her heart in the current presentation. If you have worked with Ginny at all you know she has a heart of gold and I just wasn't seeing it in the current presentation and after the call last night I knew I was not the only one. Guess what? Ginny once again did it. While she was getting sick she also rewrote the presentation. Can you believe it? How does she do it all? She does it all because she wants us to have everything we want and she wants us all to be so proud of the company we work with and she wants that to show. So I went over the new presentation and then it was sent on to the rest of the M Team for their comments and edits. We always get things worked out from every angle with the M Team because its such a dirverse group. Then guess what campers... you will get to take a look next. Then you will be able to give your feedback, this is your chance to have some input.

I also had the chance to help redo the NPO letters that you will all be using. Sandi had already gone in and did all of the updates so I really didn't have too much to do but it was really nice to know these will be updated and in your back office soon and they will be a powerful tool you will have at your finger tips.

Add in the boot camp calls, M Team call and all of the calls with many of you participants and alternates and my day has been more then full. How about you?

I hope you are all having such fun with meeting new people and connecting with those you know. It has been fun for me. I have simply started asking Do you buy groceries? How about gas? Do you know anyone else who does? Great, you can run a successful business.

Everyone have a great evening, I will talk to you on the call tomorrow.

Bed Rest? What?

Well, today I am not doing what I would choose to do. Last night changed my plans for today, I had an ovarian cyst rupture and although I should have gone to the hospital like my husband "told me so" I waited until this morning. I didn't want to wake up my kids after all and have them up all night, so I endured the pain. This morning when I went to the Dr. she said, it's bed rest for you and I will see you again on Thurs. If you know me at all you know I don't do well with bed rest. First of all I don't like to be told what to do and I don't sit still well. So again, I am not doing what I would like to be doing.

I was able to make some follow up calls and check the status of my foundation mall. So far I have 1 Business Starter Mall and 2 World Changer Malls; all from follow up done this past weekend. See, following up with your contacts is so important. I have to say it was great talking to these people and finding out their whys. Anyone who has taken the World Changer Clinic with me knows how much I love to find out what drives people and to be able to see what their long term goals are.

Have I been able to go out today and make 5 contacts? No, but I did tell my Dr. all about the co. and I found out her daughter is about to go to South Africa to help build some homes with a group she has been working with. Yes, you better believe when I am not doubled over in pain she and I will talk some more.

Lastly, I want to mention the Business Partnership Program Ginny just "let out of the bag", it is an amazing program; once again Ginny, you did it! and it shows her true heart. It goes back to the roots of the company; We are in existence to create funding for charitable organizations making a difference in the world. Those words are powerful and that is why I am so behind this company.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for the amazing things we can create today.

Good Night!

Back to work!

Good Morning!

It is time to get back to work. Yesterday was Thanksgiving, at least here in the US so I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and hope everyone had a moment to be thankful for everything they have. This is a really hard time for a lot of people right now and I am luck to have everything that my family and I need.

After taking most of yesterday off it is time to get back to work. With all of the amazing things we all have ahead I can't imagine any better reason to get out there and "grow your beans". What we have to offer people is a gift and if you are coming from a heart of giving they will understand and see it. I am off to make my 5 contacts today. I will write again tonight.

Let's Help Ron out!

HELP

HELLOIt's 6:30 here in Indiana, two and half hours from the call and I haven't moved one bean, I've been on the net all afternoon sent out over twenty e-mails, friends and relatives, no response. Some of them may not have quite made it home yet from work. With me being disabled and confined to home a lot I thought this would be a good way to at least move five today, no cigar!I need help family, lol I put the laugh out loud in there to let you know I'm not crying yet lol But if someone out there has any ideas on how a disabled Vietnam Vet can succeed in this great adventure from his home, please let me know. Ginny I need to "pick your brain please" lol

Ron

Please leave Ron a comment so we can come up with some great suggestions for him!

WC Reality Boot Camp - Day 2

Well, it's only 6:50 PM and for some reason today has already been a long day and if you know me at all I am usually up working until midnight, it's normally quieter in the house after 8 PM and I can think better.

Today started out with the daily morning rush to get my daughter ready and out the door, pick up kids along the route and drop them at school. Once we (my other 2 kids and I) dropped them off I came directly back home because I wanted to read all of the blogs from yesterday and get ready for the day before the morning call.

I opened up my blogspot list and LOVED reading the blogs that were there waiting for me. I do have to say some are so entertaining I could read them all day if I had the time. While I was reading and checking e-mails I was also making a list of things to go over for today's call. I then realized while reading these how many people were going to hear about My Power Mall this week. Lets take a look, Each of the 25 participants plus Ginny and I were required to talk to and get contact from 5 people so 27 x 5 = 135 more people that heard about MyPowerMall and received a link by e-mail so they could watch the presentation. We have 22 alternates following along waiting for their spot to become available to be a full fledged participant, they know they can not be bumped up if they have not followed the criteria and reported their results so 22 x 5 = 110 more people that heard about MPM and received a link to the presentation by e-mail for a total of 245 people yesterday. That's not including any of the other 148,000+ members. Can you imagine if everyone is taking the same steps? On top of that the blogs are now out there and so are all of the amazing video's the participants are posting on YouTube, we will be a household name soon.

I am finally back out there myself and although I said yesterday that I hated it, that was a little too harsh so lets just say I was less then thrilled about going out and making personal contacts but guess what happened? Today I was looking forward to it because I changed the mindset of going out and building my business and now I am going out with one thing in mind, and this is what my goal for this Boot Camp is and what I am telling all of my contacts "I am in a Reality Boot Camp and I committed to help 10 people achieve an income of $200o in 60 days". I am out here to help others and in turn will be helping myself. It doesn't get much easier then that!

So after the call this morning I finished up a few things and then set out to make some contacts. I e-mailed my Boot Camp invitation cards to the store, I picked up my daughter from school and headed to the printer to pick up my cards. I was determined not to wait until 9 PM to start making my contacts today. I met some very nice people at the printer's. I was standing in the store fussing at my 3 crazy kids for running around like idiots and this nice woman started making a conversation about them and as we were talking I realized she had started the conversation with me and we were talking. Yes that sounds redundant but... sometimes when my kids are crazy I just run on auto pilot and things just happen, and then I snapped out of it. I said, oh by the way I am having these cards here printed because I am in a Reality Boot Camp and I have committed to helping people make $2000 in 60 days do you mind if I get your information so I can e-mail you some information? She looked at me for a second so I said would it be OK if I got your e-mail address and I could e-mail you a link so you can take a look at what I am doing? and she said Sure! Now let me just say, this is not the part that surprised me because seriously who doesn't need to make additional info in this economy? The part that surprised me was the fact I had not brought my trusty dusty note pad... WHAT!?! So I ran to my car and grabbed my journal that was in the car and went back in and she was happy to give me her info. I sent her the e-mail w/ the link and my blog site and I will call her tomorrow. The next two were again at the printers, I said the same thing to the cashier and what may have been a manager and they asked what company I was with and I told them about Together We Can Change The World and a little about My Power Mall and got their contact info. I e-mailed them both when I got home and I can't wait to talk to both of them.

Now if you were on this mornings call you heard me mention that I understand being busy, believe me, I understand. Let me say this about not having time to "go out" and find people, I have 3 little kids and between car pooling to and from schools (for 2 of them), naps and after school activities my daughter is in - by the way, I don't talk to people during all but one of these, they all all drop and runs and before this I was glad about that, now? Not so much. Anyway back to my point. Between all of my kids activities and schedules and all of my other work as the Director of Marketing and all of my stained glass business (and remember the holidays are here so the orders are coming in) AND trying to sleep a little because I have MS and if I don't sleep my body will shut down and MS also comes with extreme fatigue for me, so with all of this if I can do it so can you! I did however have to get creative: Send e-mails the night before to local people I know, tell them I am in a reality boot camp and each day we need to tell people what we are doing and why and ask to call them the next day. I also go talk to my neighbors while my daughter is napping (with monitor in hand of course). I had had such a busy day yesterday that I went to the store last night at 9 pm after the call. So, because I'm busy will this be something that can't work for me? No, I just had to get creative. This can work for anyone. We are all busy but anything can be done if you really want it.

My last two contacts were from e-mails I sent out last night to warm market and after I talked to them today I sent them my link and my blog page.

It has been a fun day and I think I will be crashing not too long after the call tonight. I look forward to all of the blogs tomorrow and seeing the results from the foundation we set today.

Have a wonderful night!
