Teams meeting, or an initial appointment set by one of the new AAE’s, at 11.  Just shaved and out of shower, much better.  A presentation in the leads meeting this morning has me fiery, impassioned but wanting to singularize and centralize MY electric character – with writing and blogging, business, lead generation.  Not letting my nerves or fear of conversion and quota stop me or even be a blip on the smallest of radars.

Leaving for HQ soon, sipping from coffee made the other day and in this blah-black tumbler.  When I think about the new number, 2022 quota, I get tight and can’t move and have trouble functioning.  When I don’t, I’m encouraged, confident, eager.  

Well there’s the answer right there.

Took a pic earlier on the way back of my keys in the center console, in the cup holder.  Told myself to make something of this shot, an other irrelevant and meaningless (to some) observation and capture.

Ready to prospect, ready to make a new list of new leads that WILL materialize in NEW ink.

From here where do I go, that’s my question to self after her presentation this morning.  Can’t believe I’m having these thoughts at 42, nearing 43, but here I am. 

Packing laptops, out….

10:31

Call in 29 minutes.  Sent some emails, have coffee.  Waiting for call time.  Looking up literally any business I can think of… lawyers, starting there.  Then dental offices.  Then… OH.  Snagged to side by the idea from this morning.  Another IdeaA, if you would.  Not changing my mind, but more contained and directed.

Staying in the office today till 5.  Will document each hour and step, project, bit of production.  Toward EOD, going somewhere.  To market self, try to get new contacts, anything.

Changing my entire attitude and character and story…. No more word count focus, and less emphatics toward writing.  Writing and posts, entries and books are the ‘after’.

As many pictures as I can find, and take.  Waking early tomorrow to run then drive East on 12 to capture the sunrise through vineyard rows and over and between the cordons.  

Freelancing….. not money on the side but ‘revenue in tandem’.  Lunch with an IT partner tomorrow.  Looking forward to it for a number of reasons… to get my mind off quota for one, and to further build collaborative stories.  Tired of this quota and sales obsession and toxicity.

So…. ANEW.
