Well you all know how I'm on a family vacation until Sunday, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem, and it hasn't slowed me down a bit, but the internet connection was a different story!! After the call on Wednesday night, I was just sitting down to enter in my 5 contacts for the day and wouldn't you know it NO INTERNET!! After trying numerous fixes, still nothing. So after calling the front desk, I was informed that since the next day was Thanksgiving that they wouldn't be able to get to it until sometime Friday. Needless to say, I WAS FREAKING OUT! I had done my part and moved my beans, but I couldn't enter in any information. I didn't want Ginny or Jackie to think I was slacking or not following the rules. It really made me think about how much this opportunity means to me and what I was getting out of the experience. Not to mention, that reading the blogs everyday is something that I totally look forward to. So for the last 2 days, I have been going through withdrawal.
But now the problem seems to be fixed, so life is good again!
Well I was able to get my 5 contacts again today and it is just so much easier than the beginning of the week. I almost don't feel like the same scared person, I am definitely more confident walking up to a total stranger. I think also because I seem more relaxed people are more willing to give me their information. Before I was like "Um, I need your email, um oh and your phone number...but I won't sell your information or anything...it's this reality boot camp thing..." and I think people must have thought I was a crazy lady or something! But now, I sound more self-assure and instead of taking 4 hours to get a contact, I got all 5 in about an hour today. Also, I think that it is easier to tell someone about your foundation mall and what MPM stands for instead of "selling them".
Well, I'm off to watch "The Polar Express" with the boys and figure out what I'm going to do tomorrow to get my 5 people. I always try something new (a different store, calling contacts, etc.). I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I'll write tomorrow!

Day 2 Better than Day 1
Hi All!! Well...day 2 was definitely better than day one! I was able to get the remaining 3 from day one AND get a new 5 by the evening conference call! YIPPEE! Although no one has yet to sign up for even a business mall...I at least know that I CAN CONTACT THESE PEOPLE. I know that I can do it and it really wasn't that hard (well not that bad anyway).
The 2 ladies I had mentioned yesterday were not there when I called today, but I did get a voice mail from one saying she wouldn't really be able to talk until tomorrow morning, so at least she got back to me. I am still committed to getting both of them to sign up at least for a free business mall.
After listening to the call this evening, something struck me that I thought I would mention about your "warm market". And on this note, I have a little confession to make...I didn't think I would be chosen for the Boot Camp and so I didn't think it was a big deal that I went on vacation this week...my family is on a vacation in Colorado for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday until Sunday!! So I have been away from home, away from a true land-line, away from my neighborhood, etc. since this all began. However, once I received the email last Saturday when I was boarding the plane, I VOWED that I would not let these obstacles slow me down and I would do whatever it took to meet and surpass the requirements that Ginny & Jacki had set to be a part of this Reality Boot Camp. Even in the line for the ski-lift today, I at least handed one of the attendants an invitation card; and although I didn't get his information (I didn't count it as one of the 5), I at least felt a little rush thinking that maybe he'll look at it? But back to the warm market...I KNEW that my location would be a challenge, so I started thinking about the people I could contact to get my 5 contacts for the day. What did I do besides hand out fliers on the ski lift and hotel lobby (which I met a great lady with out a computer but wanted to sign-up)? I went to my email/contact list. For every person that I had an email address for, I would check to see if I had their phone number. This includes personal friends, business contacts (from business cards), ebay buyers from the past (I have been selling on ebay for 7 years), etc. And what did I do? I picked up the phone and started dialing!
I had one previous ebay buyer that was a little confused at first, but then I explained that I was not trying to sell her anything, I just wanted to share some information with her about an opportunity I was a part of and that I could use her help. She lives in Texas and so she asked me if I was a Longhorn or an Aggie. For those of you not from Texas, this can make or break a conversation! Well I thought my chances were 50/50, so I told the truth...I was an Aggie, Class of '94. The response: "Well of course I'll look at what you've got to show me honey! You just send that little link over and I'll take a look at your site." BOOM! that was easy...I did also say to her that I was trying to help 10 people make $2000 a month over the next 60 days and her response, "Shoot, if you can make me $200 in the next 60 days, then you've got a deal!" To me this was exactly what Ginny was talking about, just finding what it will take for someone to become a part of your group and get them to their financial goals. Of course, with the late timing again, she has not signed up, but I think that tomorrow on Day 3, I will be able to follow-up with all of those people I have sent the link to and get some great results.
MPM Rocks!
Best of everything to all!

Day 1 Results
OK, so the first day has begun...I was not able to listen to the morning call, so I dialed into the evening call, and though I am still getting my 5 "magic beans" to move to the left pocket for the first 24 hours, I at least have completed 2 of the 5. I was able to speak with a woman who had contacted me through my ebay listing for tips and ideas on how I made money every month. I told her how I was in this new "Boot Camp" and that I needed her help. She was totally open to what I had to say and if it wasn't so late (it was 9:30pm), then I am sure she would have signed up right then. I do have a follow-up with her in the morning, so I do believe that she will see what MPM has to offer. My second contact after the conference call was a close friend that is going through a divorce. She and I only spoke for a few minutes, but I do know that she is looking to supplement her income from child support so she can go back to school to complete her degree. I promised her that I could follow-up with her in the morning, but I also made her promise to watch Ginny's presentation so that if she had any questions, that she should have them ready in the morning when I called her back.
So for the first day (which for me I'll have my "5" by the conference call tomorrow night), it started well, I am just still so excited about what I have to share with others, that I am still not totally processing what is happening.
So in the morning, I have already mapped out my plan...I will have my other 3 people by 10am so that I can get another 5 by the end of the day. Honestly, after hearing the steps from Ginny tonight, it really doesn't seem to be all that difficult. I mean, JUST TALKING TO 5 PEOPLE A DAY? If you think about it, how many people do we really speak to in one day? 10? 20? If we only just took the time to mention MPM, even in passing and got their name, email and phone number? I know that some people will not give that info out because they have been burned in the past by other "ideas", but if we just allow those people to find us at a later date, then we just might even change their minds too.
Well this is all for tonight, I have to get up early in the morning to find my other 3 for day one. I know this is going to be a great ride and I am TOTALLY ready to buckle my seatbelt!

The night before it starts
Well it is the night before the beginning of the World Changer Reality Boot Camp and I AM NERVOUS!! Will I be as successful as I hope to be? Will I be able to do the things that Ginny asks? Will I be able to keep up with the other Boot Campers? Will I succeed? Will I fail? Of course I don't know those answers now, but that isn't stopping them from running through my head. I just feel so blessed to be included in this group and I just don't want to let anyone down. But I guess that's the point, right? I guess if I understand my fears and doubts, then all I have to do is not let them slow me down.
I started with MPM about 2 weeks ago, when I was on a social networking site for moms. I read a person's blog in which she mentioned MPM. I will usually click on others links, because really, you will never know what they have to offer. Well, when I watched Ginny's Presentation on the World Changer Mall, I had to sign up right away! For me, the start-up costs were extremely low (even the Business Mall was great because it was FREE), and I felt that I could make a difference with a WCM. I saw the power behind MPM and I just knew that if anything, I could get great rebates for my everyday purchases.
For those of you that will follow my journey, I promise the I will not give up. That I will do everything that I can to be a success and to show you that it is possible!
This is my Foundation Mall that I have created through MPM:

Here's to the long road ahead!
