Too excited to wait!!!

Okay, so I was going to post in the morning about the activity for today, but my urge to tell everyone that I was successful (mildly not wildly) overcame the urge to just do it in the morning.

Here goes...I met 10 new people today. They don't know I met them, which is the next step, but I can honestly say that I met and saw 10 new faces today. I think our interactions run surface deep as there were no "ah ha" moments just moments of...

"Why is that guy still wanting to talk to me?" and "I have work to do so I wish he would get out of my face" expressions.

I am realizing that is what is fun. The fact that the hunt is in getting people to respond. Not to blow you off but to actually look you in the eye and be responsive. Sure it takes 8 rejections to get the 1 to actually talk and then 10 more rejections before your reach the next pinnacle of excitement with human interaction.

Never fear I can still say that I met them. I want to post their names and occupations but right now I don't want anybody's privacy to be invaded. So instead ---a couple places I visited and initials in no particular order...

• Oracle Realty Investments - MS
• Malinda's Pet Grooming/Boarding - David (nicest guy of the day award - actually talked to me about what he does, what he thinks about small banks and everything)
• Keller Williams Platinum - TW
• Wentworth Property - M.?.
• Mountain Park Apartments - D.?.

I will continue to update you on the progress. The next step is to inform these lucky people of my little campaign and get there permission to post stories involving the interactions. We will see.

Who set this thing up?

Holy lime green template, Batman!

I know but green isn't a bad color. Maybe not my first choice but I thought it would liven things up to start. This is my third blogging attempt. My other two www.emurriettalending.blogspot.com and http://activerain.com/blogs/emurrietta are great for my business stuff, they coincide and I will double post them, all in an effort to reach realtors and anybody else out there who might find the information useful. (Though I am realizing that no matter how many hours I stay awake and how much research I do - I am always a little slow to the posting of my blogs)

This one is a creative outlet. I set this up almost 7 weeks ago and have done nothing since then. Why? Fear. Complete and utter fear. The daunting task that is before me - meeting ten people a day - keeps me from even meeting one new person a day let alone ten. But I am ready again and today will be the first day of the meetings and tomorrow morning I will post about who I met (names omitted for privacy reasons) and what they do.

Call me to the carpet or add your stories of the people you meet. There can't be a better way to network.
