All in a Day's Work...

Yesterday Rachel and I went to the BX on Base to peddle our wares. 

She was selling her Peruvian jewelry. 

We also set up Christian's organic, handmade soap and Hannah's beeswax candles. 

The kiosks were gorgeous; even had spotlights.  

And we could have asked for a cash register. 

This was better than "playing store" when my sister and I were little. 

We were really doing it in a real-live place of business. 

Yet it felt like we were playing. 

It really is a game. 

How professional can one act?  

How long does one have to "fake it til you make it?"  

Not long.  

Experience truly is the best teacher. 

The more you do it, meet the public and sell your wares, the easier it becomes. 

The day wasn't a hugely profitable day, but it was hugely profitable in a non-financial way. 

Bargain Hunting

Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from  it. 

Today Rachel and I had to run to Walgreen's for an article. 

WHile I was busy scouring the aisle for my needed item, she was scouring the bargain bin and came back with rechargeable batteries . 

I asked, "WHere did you find that?" 

SHe took me to the bargain bin where I proceeded to find discount ink cartridges for my printer. 

What a find. 

what an eye. 

What a nose for bargains.  

That's my Rachel.. 

Always looking and planning ahead. 

ONly one of the many characteristics owning your own business will give  you. 

 

What a time at the Conference.

Whew! 

What a week I had last week.  We went to NYC/CT to attend an entrepreneurial Boot Camp Wed-Sunday.  

Wow!  I was blown away by the amount of doable information.  

The main speaker, Ryan Lee kept saying he is no different than any one of us.  

I appreciated his humility.  

There were many trainers there who had successful online training businesses and were wiling to teach us how to do it.   

I set goals on the flight home, wrote them down, will work on my businesses daily and be accountable to other trainers. 

The mindset is the first important part of being successful and then being diligent and working  daily is key. 

May the hands of the diligent prosper! 

The attached picture is Ryan Lee, a man who has been successful online as a personal trainer and is turning around and teaching others how to do the same.  I like that. 

(Ignore the date, it is wrong.  I'm not good at reading instruction manuals and did not know how to set the correct date.) 

Talk to you soon,
