Day 9

I spent most of my day being frustrated at my other business's problems and lack of speedy resolutions to them. I figured that instead of being frustrated and aggravated all day, I should start my REI work earlier in the day. ( My butt now hurts from sitting in front of the computer for so long )
I spent some time responding to some forums and checking out things on this site that I haven't done before. I spent a good bit of time at the Property Assessor's website checking out the list of names I got from my SFL system and the cash sales list I got from the only responding (so far) agent. I think I found about 4 "heavy hitters" and will start putting together my letter to send. Will also design my
business card and get them ordered tomorrow.
Been practicing my 2 min sale's pitch in my head all day ( in-between cursing at my broken machinery and the heartbreak of a beautiful day wasted because of it.) I think my sales experience and general confidence in myself will help me when it comes to talking to people.
I think my problem is more that I don't like talking to people more than I'm scared to. I know that has to change if I am going to succeed. Isolationism can really create a monster if it's not kept in check. I've been that way for too long and must change. My only saving grace is that while I was watching Dean in disk 1 of the Edge course, he apparently is the same way around non- RE people. I'm more extreme, I'm that way with almost everybody. Working only from home for the past 10 years has definitely aided this condition. I think I can count all the people I have regularly talked to over that time on just my 2 hands. Pretty scary if you ask me.

That's it for now...

'Till tomorrow
