Had a morning meeting with someone from networking. She is a financial advisor who is looking for help with email. This is another example of someone who heard me say I specialize in working with life and business coaches, helping them with email. I think this is the power of exclusion. We had a good … Read more
I spent a lot of time on LinkedIn sending connection requests to potential clients and researching and taking notes. Until LinkedIn stopped letting me. I was doing it too fast. Violation of policy. LinkedIn isn’t to be used for selling to people you don’t know. Except lots of people do it. I’m doing it manually … Read more
I felt better today but still not particularly hungry. I went to the store and got some cottage cheese and cinnamon raisin bread. I ate peanut butter sandwiches and cottage cheese off and on all day. That cinnamon raisin bread is really good. My stomach mostly felt settled and I wasn’t particularly hungry. I got … Read more
I felt a little better today but not much appetite. I cooked some eggs and coffee for breakfast and that didn’t sit well.

My marketing email list finally hit 100 people and I’m happy with that mini-milestone. I’m still mostly inviting people personally but they still need to say yes, people aren’t … Read more
I’m slowly extending my walks, in training for Florida in a couple of weeks. I’m feeling stronger than Monday. Today I didn’t go to the Wednesday networking group and felt good about that. For one thing, the walk wasn’t rushed. And then went to lunch with an insurance guy I met at an event a … Read more
This morning’s networking was so so. I’m getting really picky about the groups as my time is limited. One of the new “ambassadors” in this group and I aren’t really a good fit. He isn’t aware of that. I feel he is much more into sales than sincerity and is comfortable promoting himself when he … Read more
Meeting with Phil my finance guy reminded me I should do a video of the talk I gave at networking a week ago. Phil though the talk I did live was really good and helped him understand what I do. In fact the talk is a bit long for sales purposes but having it out … Read more
