$100 challenge
I am not going to be getting the extra points on this challenge. Oh I sell stuff, but so slowly and the time is not worth it. This is not a business I would to have forever.
I have changed some tactics to get more people to buy and that helped selling a little more. I have agreed to mail something, if they paid for postage which is something I did not think I would do.
One thing I have learned with this. NEVER NEVER NEVER start a new business unless you have the time to do it. If I had the time I could do so much more but when I am constantly constrained with time I just do not do what I should be doing or putting the time into it.
Thank goodness I did set up early on forms we fill out and envelopes attached to it so when something sells I just put it all in the envelope and it is organized and ready to go and easy to handle.
This next week is going to be my push week.
Things to do - repost on craigslist
repost on some other sites I have
keep it at top on face book
call a couple of my friends who say they have stuff and get it over here and on line so I can get it sold
What I learned this week
Pretty interesting week. The leadership style survey says I am participative style - thank goodness because I thought my personality would be authoritarian. I already know I don't delegate real well.
I loved the article by Pres Kimbal and Jesus: The perfect leader. I have never read that before.
His attritbutes Fixed principles, understanding others, selfless leadership, responsibility, accountability, wise use of time, secular leadership.
I have read before the DPC article by Bednar.
Factor #1 BYUI is a temple of learning
Factor #2 BYUI will be located next to a House of the Lord
Factor #3 BYUI is surrounded by strong stakes of Zion
Kim B Clark's "Leadership with a small "L" is the best.
Principle #1 Lead by example
#2 Lead with Vision
#3 Lead with Love
Lots of learning. So I think if you lead in a business like you would lead at church then you just can't go wrong.
