Three days down and 4 to go!!!

It’s Garbage Day!!!!

Whoopee…lol. Well Monday went well at work although the boss has put serious pressure on me by making me choose Wednesday what income split I want for the next few months. In other words, I have to sell, sell, sell if I hope to have a job in January. I hate the uncertainty of being on straight commission, however, if I am successful I will make great money; if I am not successful I will be out of a job so I really don't have much choice in the matter.

I achieved everything I set out to do yesterday but 5 cold calls, therefore I will add those to my list for today and make a minimum of 10.

My wife and I went for a walk with the dog last night and I think this could turn into a habit for the two of us if I keep encouraging it but I will continue to walk whether she comes or not.

Today I will set my goals to be very basic but essential.

1) Get proposal out to client.
2) Make a minimum of 10 Cold calls.
3) Keep driving the sales cycle for my existing appointments.
4) Walk the dog.
5) Complete small job to improve state of my belongings.

One improvement I would like to make for later on this week is to add to my list of activities is a task which will improve the state of my belongings, like clean the car, garage or office etc. To start it doesnt have to be a full job. Like I teach my kids, "how do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time". So taking a smaller part of a job and doing a bit each night would work well.

One area that I let go this summer was the state of the house since I spent every available weekend hour at the cottage. As such the grounds of the house are in sad shape and the state of the garage is a thorn in my wifes side. I figured out one simple solution to the challenge of keeping both the cottage and the house in a good state of repair. I will do the house on weeknights in small projects and then the cottage on the weekend as needed.
