Bankruptcy to Millionaire

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!
