Default Preparing for take-off....

Where do you go from here?

You have to crawl before you can walk, and you have to walk before you can run....

And you have to run before you can fly!

I think I agree with Gordon, that face to face selling experience is really good for running a business....

That's because a business can't make any money until a sale is made! So, if you can't sell, you have to at least hire or JV with somebody who can....

But learning it yourself is the best. And I believe selling is something you can learn....

While some people might seem to have some kind of "innate" selling skill, it really is something you can learn. You have to dress sharp (but not too intimidating). You have to be confident (but not arrogant). You have to be able to talk in a good way about the benefits of your product....

And you can see it on people's faces, or in their actions or their questions, when they are interested.... Luckily, the CD-ROMs I was selling had some unique features....

Unique products are the best kind to get involved with, I think.... :)

Anyway, I had a blast.... This is another skill I'll be adding to my "bag of skills" for growing and expanding my business.... Along with the knowledge about the power of outsourcing, contacts, Remote Hypnosis techniques, and the many other things we've learned here....

Thanks to everybody, you've all been very generous.... :)

Running running running and flapping those wings....

(Are you flapping too? :)
