Bankruptcy to Millionaire

In my post earlier today about thinking and being positive about landing the job has paid off!

I thought through the entire event over and over in my head, exactly what I was going to say. And now I have the job working as a restaurant magician at Red Robin.

Thinking positive pays off!

I’ve been poundin’ the pavement. Kickin’ the dirt. Hittin’ the streets. And a number of other euphemisms for cold calling lately.

Basically I’ve been walking into businesses unannounced and trying to get their business! Yea… IT’S TOUGH!!! And I pretty much HATE doing it.

For 2.5 days this week (and ever other day I’ve gone out prior) I’ve been catching nothing but AIR. Nodda. Zilch. I was wiffing at every corner. But I kept at it. 5 Hours each day, getting told “No!” “Get out!” “No thank you” “We’re taken care of…” “That’s not something we’re interested in…” “No I’m sorry he’s not available.” And pretty much any other blow off you could possibly think off.

But at last! After practicing my rebuttals, rehersing, getting over my FEAR OF FAILURE. I’ve finally gotten passed the first wall.

Today, I walk into Red Robin for the second time in as many days. Ask to speak with the manager, and a few words and a card trick later… I’ve finally got an audition which I’m sure to NAIL to becoming the regular performing magician at that Red Robin restaurant.

It’s a small step. Yes. But it is a STEP! I thought I just wasn’t cut out for this. I was beginning to think “maybe I CAN’T sell”… ugh. I hate failure!!!! That’s NOT me anymore. And BAM when I least expect it. I get my chance.

This is a great opportunity at a supplemental income, and will open up doors to other Red Robin’s in the area when I land the job! This is tremendous step for me in helping me pay down my debt, and come closer to becoming a MILLIONAIRE in 48 months.

So as my thanks to Red Robin.

EAT THERE!

Have a great Friday everyone!!! And remember, don’t just GIVE UP. Keep at it until you find success, or success finds you. You’ll be happy you did. I certainly am!

Turns out Dogs are a great friend.

But “To Do Lists” seem to be my best friend. Not only do I get more accomplished. I get it done quicker and better when I have it written down as a constant reminder to myself.

When you have your own writing staring you in the face to do something. You get it done just to scratch it off the list.

Today my list consisted of getting “small” things done I’ve been putting off for not only weeks, but an ENTIRE YEAR. I made up some comb bound books for my cold calling session I’ve been putting off, that I’ll go on tomorrow at 10 AM Sharp. But I made a few calls and finally took my car in to be inspected for some damage I’d done to it OVER A YEAR AGO. The good news is, I did something I told myself I should do. The bad news is, the damage is WAY worse than I thought it would be… *sigh*

So I urge you. This week:

Begin Making To-Do lists. And follow through. Make sure you have it on you at all times. So you can write things down as you think of them. Then you have no more excuses for forgetting–and therefor not taking action.

Start your To-Do list with something you’ve been putting off for a long time(days, weeks, or in my case over a year!) and do it. No matter how small.

Once you begin to Take Action you begin to build moment. And eventually the inertia keeps you achieving things just out of habit.

Tomorrow should be a fun day! I’m going to be taking my new Mogul Smartphone on the road!

I’ll be supply video throughout the day updating on my cold calls! Should be fun!
