Rant/Brain Clear/Jibber Jabber?
It has just dawned on me that I have spent the last four to five years rushing round like a blue arse fly. I have been living my life at a constant 100mph.
I don’t give myself that much time to rest, I am always on the go, if not physically but mentally. I never ever stop thinking for a second. I think about allsorts everyday, sometimes to the point where I forget what I started thinking about in the first place.
I think it may be down to the point that I have made my life what it is. I chose to go down the path of self employment and have talked myself out of working for other people. I have always been independent and have taken things on alone.
I have searched high and low for years for answers to this and answers to that, most of which I have found, some though that I haven’t. I am definately happy with the path that I’m on right now, its scary but I’m doing the things I have wanted to do for years.
Some people think i’m crazy, certain family members do. Yes, it ias a big risk leaving a good job and starting work for yourself but surely they understand the term “you dont know if you dont try”.
OR, is it down to the fact that not everyone likes risks. At some point in your life, they have to be taken without a doubt. If you don’t you could carry on for years and years wondering what if this and what if that. I cannot deal with that, I have to follow my heart.
I have no idea where all this is coming from I just needed to let something out of my system before I start the sales for Maxxd. I have always been a bit anxious about selling advertising for ourselves as when you get knocked back it feels more personal than it would selling for someone else. I suppose its the rejection feeling that hurts, its gonna happen though, not everyone will be interested in what you have to say. Therefore, the number crunching exercise has to be carried out.
If I call a thousand companies, I can guarantee that maybe 4-500 will actually be interested, that may get knocked down to about 2-300 after a few weeks of chasing and trying to get the decision maker to nod his or her head.
It is a very nerving time, although we have work coming in from other areas, we would really like the MaxxDirectory to do well. We are kinda depending on it to make all our dreams come true. Once this has more advertisers we can really go to town on it.
This must be the biggest post I have done this year I think i’m doing it for some kind of motivation or inspiration to get more involved on the phones. There is a level of anxiety within me at the moment and as I write this I can feel it fading away.
I think I am gonna start using my blog every day again if I get time, it really does relieve tension.
Right, I’m gonna make some calls, wish me luck
