This has been the most amazing journey! I awake each day excited to get going again—there is such an excitement and joy being able to finally live my passions—-AND to have a team of experts assisting me along the way! (In fact, I'm even dreaming my business now…so it's honestly a 24/7 effort.) My journey began with a dream of being able to pursue my passion of writing and songwriting. I tried an MLM company and spent 3 months pursuing that (learned quite a bit), but the timeline was much to slow (I have tons of energy!), and it felt as if I was STILL dividing my time between what I HAD to do and what I LOVED to do. I began reading Cracking the Millionaire Code by Robert Allen and was immediately convinced that I needed to turn my passions into a business venture—surely there were 10,000 other women out there wanting to tell their life stories, I thought. And then it all began…I got stumped on one of the codes in his book, and stewed over it for 4 days (the calendar code, in case you're wondering) and finally 'gave in' and went on-line to see if I could find some help. And BOY did I ever! One thing led to another and, before I knew it, I was going through the phone interview process with Prosper. Although my funds were running dry, I knew this was now-or-never time for me and I refused to give way to never. So I began my journey with your company.
I had already decided on my business—a website offering services, products, and a community where women could TELL the stories of wisdom from their lives. I'd already been 'given' the name for my site—I grabbed the domain name days before I ever began your interview process… (Of course, one of the many helpful things I've learned is how to go about things like that a better way! but in that instance the timing was not my own.)
I was accepted into your program and haven't been the same since! My coach is wonderful, bringing expertise and top-notch guidance, to-the-point answers and tons of encouragement, each and every step of the way. He learned quickly that I'm a ball of energy and has stepped up the pace in such a exhilarating way that I think we're both amazed with all that's getting accomplished. But he is also very precise and tasks me with essential and critical items, not allowing my overabundant enthusiasm steer us off course. He was the perfect match for my website. I am very grateful for him and look forward to our calls each week.
I have built a team around me—we are dividing and conquering. I'm the visionary and CEO, I have delegated all web-design tasks but do all of the homework, reading, audio coaching, research, etc. in order to be directing and shadowing the effort all along the way. I am also phasing in my business with a series of children's stories to generate funds so I can launch my website narrow but deep. Launch date is November 20, 2006—Day 101 (Don't forget about the Cracking The Millionaire Code—I intend to not only be a success story for myself, my charity, my customers, but also Prosper and Robert Allen—that was and is my goal and IF it can be accomplished, I WILL accomplish it!) I work daily with my illustrator. The first book is nearly ready to go…and in a big way—Nate has helped me identify and prepared me to implement a great marketing plan, has tailored my blog and website with anchor links, steered me to email campaigns, as well as a multitude of advertising opportunities. I've created added value items…oh, I could go on and on, BUT the one thing, so far (because I know each day will hold more and more delicious tidbits to report on) that has happened that is really big…are you ready? (Nate just loved hearing this one…) is that I have identified and am currently working with an award-winning doll-maker who has agreed to name one of their 2007 dolls in honor of the character in my children's book series! Yep! One of them will be Saijin! And, she will be advertised on my site.
Well, that was just enough, I hope, to wet your appetite. I look forward to the rest of the journey with you and the rest of your team at Prosper…y'all (not born in Texas, but got there quick as I could) remind me of the Verizon commercials—coming out from behind trees and buildings…a NETWORK of support. I'm confident my success is assured! Thank you!
