Buxton People are Awesome!
I just had my faith in people and myself renewed! Right in my home town of Buxton, four wonderful people in Plummer's Supermarket and Rite Aid listened to me! I told them how I had been chosen as a one of 25 people in this World Changer Reality BootCamp, how I was going to help the Buxton Community Cupboard and 10 others reach $2000/month in 60 days, and the response was incredible. Why was I so scared? Ginny is right, when you talk with people face to face, they can see that you have good intentions. I have no doubt in my mind that I, and many others right here in Buxton who meet me, will be successful.
Let's hope for a wonderful response!
Hi folks!
What a powerful idea - a way for non profit organizations to keep going strong even during difficult economic times. Almost everyone I know shops online. If people just understood that that's all they need to do to help.
I started calling friends today to tell them about the World Changer Reality Boot Camp. I am so excited about this! In 60 days, I will have earned a residual income for a non profit right here in Buxton, Maine. Have you ever volunteered stuffing fundraising envelopes, or selling cupcakes? It's a lot of time and effort, for not so much money. In my previous job, I was the administrator for a large foundation grant and saw the boom or bust cycle that most charities experience. Volunteers have good hearts and good intentions, but get worn out by constant fundraising.
I am finding that people just think this is another one of those multi level things. It a little frustrating. Everyone wants to know what I'm selling. I say "Nothing but a wonderful, powerful idea!"
I am feeling stressed right now because part of my daily challenge is to talk personally with 5 people, and I have been shot down twice. But, it's just day one and I am not giving up. This means too much to so many people.
All five of my children are home now, along with several of their friends. It's loud and chaotic, as usual. I'm going to take off soon to go grocery shopping and talk to 3 more people about My PowerMall. If I get shot down again, I'll just buy me some ice cream and start again tomorrow : )
