Day 10

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.

I must continue living in the moment, it’s awesome.

  1. 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
