HELP

HELLO

It's 6:30 here in Indiana, two and half hours from the call and I haven't moved one bean, I've been on the net all afternoon sent out over twenty e-mails, friends and relatives, no response. Some of them may not have quite made it home yet from work. With me being disabled and confined to home a lot I thought this would be a good way to at least move five today, no cigar!

I need help family, lol I put the laugh out loud in there to let you know I'm not crying yet lol But if someone out there has any ideas on how a disabled Vietnam Vet can succeed in this great adventure from his home, please let me know. Ginny I need to "pick your brain please" lol


GOD BLESS ALL

Ron, yes you do have it a bit more challenging then some others but of course you can make this work. First thing you should do is pick up the phone to reach out don't e-mail them. The reason I e-mailed my warm market yesterday was because it was 11PM and not the best time to call. I then picked up the phone and called them all even if I had not heard back from them yet. It's a great time of year to reach out and say Happy Thanksgiving; I hope you have a great day! Look forward to seeing how you tackle tomorrow. -Jacki

Hey Ron,
First let me say two things. THANK YOU for your service to this country. Second, I am sorry to hear about the agent orange situation. My cousin flew helicopters in Viet Nam. My nephew served two tours in Iraq as a Marine. My father served in Korea. I wanted to join but was turned down. That is a long story and better saved for another time. Now, is a good time to change the world. I do not really know a lot about your situation but I agree with Jacki. I would like to add one thing. Of course if Ginny or Jackie reads this and they feel something different would work in your case by all means go by what they say. Afterall, they are the teachers. I am only a student. It may work or it may not. There is a 50-50 chance. But one thing is for sure if you do not try it, it will 100% for sure not work. Take a look at the ecards in your back office. After you make the phone calls follow up with a nice Thanksgiving ecard from your back office. Earlier today I sent all of my friends a Thanksgiving ecard. Of course, I included my WCM reality boot camp URL at the bottom. This is really a "no-pressure" way of getting them to look at your site. Ginny and her team did a great job with these cards. They even play music if you choose that option. I chose "change the world". I thought that was quite fitting. Remember, "the fortune is in the follow-up" and you must show people that you care about them and want to help them. Build relationships and trust and don't try to "sell" them. I hope this helps.

Hello Ron,
I too am a 100% Viet Nam Veteran and you know that us Veteran's stick with each other through thick and thin.

Therefore, my friend, you have a whole group of pre-members to support you and a ready made group of people just waiting for you to reach them.

Everytime you go to VA hospital, clinic, meetings,talk to them, give them a card, your email, your phone number. You have a whole lot of got service men and women waiting to hear the gift you have to give to them.

Also contact every veteran's group you can. DAV, American Legion, etc. They are always looking for ways to raise money for each group in every city and in every state.

There are many vet groups on line that you can also reach.

You know as well as I do,every veteran even with their pensions could use some additional income by saving on what they have to spend on food, gas, and bills.

So, contact those groups and fellow veterans, they will support you and you will also provide them with a wonderful gift. As MPM is not a hand out, but a hand up.
Go get em Ron, we got your back, my friend.
