Another day of Urgency as I had created a goal of collecting
50 stories for my book as well as setting up three software conversations with
retailers. As there are 2 days left in the month, I’m not necessarily feeling
that these goals that I intend to accomplish are happening, but I prefer to
live in possibility and responsibility so I keep trucking along with urgency
and efficiency.
After bringing myself to tears reading through the stories
collected via HARO, and responding which alarmingly takes much of the day, I can
only feel somewhat special as I’m really doing something special that will
really benefit others. It’s so exciting yet humbling at the same time. I cannot
believe some of the experiences these people have endured and so many when they
were children. I also have people that have written that are still seem to be looking for emotional support, I just write them with words of encouragement knowing that their
experience is not only healing by sharing, but healing for others as well. A few are so
excited about my project that they are telling other’s to get involved. Some
choose to have their real name posted as they want to be available in the event
that someone wants to simply talk. This is so remarkable, I love it.
Since, HARO was such a huge success, I have put out another
request for stories, I have 24 hours to collect about 25 more. It’s most
definitely possible!!!
Now, with regards to ShopAddiKt, I have many many emails out
to retailers which have yet to get me anywhere. So I decided to start
conversations on retail groups that I find such as on LinkedIn. Also,
am working on submitting stories via news sources such as Bloomberg, WSJ, etc
regarding the future of e-commerce to attract attention of the retailers. I’ve
been emailing back and forth with some people at Zappos, but really an intro is
the way to go sometimes, unless I get outrageous in my ways of attracting attention.
I’m working outside the box here. As well as utilizing my network
to set up meetings.
Lastly, I have my second webinar tomorrow so I send out some
last minute reminders via all social media avenues, as well as decide to send a
blast out to my previous real estate network, I mean, why not send it to everyone? They can unsubscribe if they want.
Now mind you, this may or may not seem like a lot, but in
the middle of this day I also had a 2 hour lunch with a potential colleague as
well as preparing for a dinner of seven with a friend. So, once again, even
with a complete plate full of “get to’s” it works out marvelously.
LESSON OF THE DAY: Once
again, I am reminded that even when there is much to do, it always works out
just perfectly, and in many cases, more perfectly than I had intended.

One statement just didn't jive with my experience. You wrote: I am reminded that even when there is much to do, it always works out just perfectly. I'd change the last part of the sentence to read: "... there is never enough time ..." or "... there is always something even more to be added that I remember as I work on the much to do." Nonetheless, I'm glad the divorce stories you've gotten have been so hurtful, astounding, and even hopeful. If you come across anyone who is STANDING for their vows, and hurting, and expresses that they are searching for someone to listen, please pass on my email to them. Count me in as one who would "... want to be available in the event that someone wants to simply talk." Best Regards, Gary Ciesla gary.ciesla@gmail.com
