Day 17 & 18: Off and Running

Zoom...Zoom...Zoom Hopefully you'll recognized those three words from the car ad seen on TV the past couple of years. That was the best way I could describe yesterday and today. I was up at 5:30 yesterday; left the house at 7:00 and finally put my feet up about 9:15 last night. Today is starting a little later and should wind up a little earlier; but it is just as full.
That isn't intended to be a complaint, but it is an explanation as to why two days are being merged into one.
The good news is that there is lots of action going on that is a direct result of staying focused on the goal I set 17 days ago. In the past two days I have identified two different strategies that will allow me to contact approximately 200 people in the next few weeks! That is exciting! And, here is what is interesting about it. These potential contacts didn't suddenly appear out of no where. They were actually there all along but I didn't see them until now. This is a powerfully important concept for each one of us to understand. When you set your goal and start believing that you will achieve that goal, your mind starts looking for all the ways it can to make that goal a reality. One of the ways it does that is to refocus on the information it all ready has. When your mind starts doing that it allows you to see all the resources that have been at your feet all along. It reminds me of an illustration I heard a long time ago about two shoe salesmen who were given a new territory in Africa. When the first salesman arrived he immediately sent a message back to the company saying, "This is impossible! No one wear shoes in this territory." When the second salesman arrived, he also quickly sent a message to his company,but his message said, "Wow, this is amazing. Everyone here is a prospective customer: No one wears shoes! Send more mmediately!"
