It’s day 3 of the 31 Goals in 31 Days Challenge and yesterday I had another productive day. As you might remember, day 1 was to update my Master To Do List, and day 2 was to update my prospect list and call 5 people.
As often happens, just updating the Master To Do List is enough to start the ball rolling in the area of productivity. So, while I completed 14 items off the list on day 1, I was also able to complete 17 additional items on day 2. Now, the pace won’t be like this forever, but it was exciting to get so much done in 2 days!
The goal for day 2 was to update my prospect list and call five people. I ended the day with 115 people on my prospect list (Remember the size of your list determines the size of your business – you want to have a lot of people in your funnel at all times!), and as usual, once I start making calls, I tend to make more than I plan, because when you break through the first call (which is the hardest one to make), you get on a roll. So, I ended the phone calls (I only called for about 1 hour) with 11 calls completed. I left 5 messages, 1 number was busy, talked to 5 people. Of the 5 people, one is getting back to me about booking a show today, 2 said no to booking a show, but are looking at a catalog for ordering, and 2 booked shows. So, overall a good hour spent.
Now, on to day 3. I’ve posted before about being a starter and not a finisher, well, usually, I don’t have that problem with reading books. I am the kind of person who reads one book at a time and finishes it before moving on to the next one. However, somehow I’ve gotten myself into the situation where I am currently reading 4 books at once. I don’t like this, and it makes me feel torn between which one to read, and it doesn’t help comprehension either to jump from one book to another.
So, today’s goal for day 3 is to finish one of the books I am reading. I am currently reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, The Power of Motherhood by Nancy Campbell, What Is A Family? by Edith Schaeffer, Promptings by Kody Bateman, Founder of SendOutCards. I’m going to finish the book that is closest to the end today, which is the Power of Motherhood.
Until tomorrow….
To your success,

[...] went well, until I got the mail. Then I found myself distracted from my original goal of finishing the book, The Power of Motherhood. The reason for the distraction? The latest edition of Above Rubies [...]
[...] I got to thinking. I have definitely read several books this year, and remember most of them, so I thought I would try to recap what I’ve read so far [...]
