Day 7

I am bursting with excitement because I have signed 30 reps and can live my dreams now.

I just wrote this big beautiful post and my internet froze and I lost it but oh well here it goes again.

I finished my last momentum today as I updated my LinkedIn profile.  LinkedIn is a lot cooler than I originally thought.  I can see how great of a tool it can be to me.  It is like constantly looking for a job without doing anything.  I wrote out a huge list of recruiting strategies that I think will be effective in reaching my goal. 

Here is what I have up to this point.

It feels so good to get all these ideas in writing because now I feel like I don't have to worry about forgetting about them.  I am most excited about the online social networking through LinkedIn and Facebook and building a blog about my story of doing pest control.  That way I will be able to refer people to my blog at anytime to get a good grasp of what the job offers and how awesome it can be.  I like having all these ideas written down because I feel that I have figured out more of the how in reaching my goal.

Successes I had today was we think we found a good couple to move into our apartment.  I called Clayton and asked him to be a recruiter for my and incentivized him to do so.  He accepted.  I went to the new EcoFirst office and had a good talk with Sam and Kyle and Brian.  I really like the guys I get to work with at EcoFirst.  They are all driven good guys.  I had a really good feeling while I was there.  Good night.
