One of the senior AE’s calls me accidentally over Teams. We start talking about sales and how things are slow now, and I’ll admit I started the conversation saying my sales were shit and non-existent… outstanding proposals with nothing materializing. She cites how this new covid stain and rise in cases is contributing to fear and reluctance with business decisions. I thank her for listening and wish her a good morning and day.
Coffee starts to work. Where do I start prospecting…. Get out of Marin, Sonoma Counties. Go to SF, I tell myself. Tech and internet companies… get in that world, more. Use Bottledaux more. This discussion with self builds and then I realize the 365 project is done. Finished just a few days ago. Started it in the Caddis tasting room. And here I am…. Wide awake now, coffee singing and speaking to me. I mute the TV and put on music, Tycho to put myself in amore a relaxed patch of thinking.
So early, I remember. 7:42, imagining myself as a radio or podcast host and the whole premise is waking early, starting the day early… health, mental health, happiness, and how it’s all DIY. OR, a news anchor like these Channel 2 people. Waking early solves so much… just when I think I can’t write I remember the students in my classes and certain ideas I’ve offered. “Magic of the meta”, and ‘use what’s present rather than grieving what’s absent’, those types of thoughts.
