I'm a Sponge
Every day now I try to get the paying work done (work that pays right now, that is) before tackling training and keyword-research-practice and article-writing. I never would have believed that I could get as much done in a day as I am doing. Nor would I have believed that I would see so many results in such a short time.
As far as the IM business goes, I don't need to see results in the form of dollars at this point. I know how to recognize when I am learning valuable things. One thing about being a student at heart is that you expect times of pure training, trial-and-error, practice, and mentoring. I'm comfortable committing to the process and being patient while I practice.
As far as my other business goes...well, I love that it's all intertwined with what I'm doing through WA. I had an interesting experience today that touches on the WA training. I was interviewing a client today (an Internet Marketing firm) in order to be able to draft their standard proposal document. The business owners complimented me on the knowledge behind the questions I was asking them. A month ago, I never would have been able to ask them those questons. I felt all smart and competent...not a bad feeling at all.
Looking over what I've written, and it sounds oh-so-serious. So I think I'll at least throw in an update on the worm farm guy. I got a full report when I stopped by the local pub with a friend earlier. The worms are breaking down that garbage like you wouldn't believe. I'm getting the full scoop on garbage and worms as I share fajitas with my friend. Ah, vermiculture. What would we do without it? I really do think that might be worth promoting. Remember that for your keyword searches, guys: VERMICULTURE.
The pub grub guy wasn't there, but some of his pub grub was in a dish on the bar--so I guess he was successful in his sales efforts.
The sex toy lady didn't show tonight either. Unfortunately, my bartender friend told me, I had just missed her. Damn! That might have been good for another story. Apparently, a shipment of her products arrived while her mother-in-law was at the house with the kids. The stuffy Greenwich-Connecticut mom-in-law opens up the packages (nosy so-and-so that she is) and there are all of the goodies. A plethora of the edible and the electric.
See how much I learn when I go see my friends at Jose's Pub?
