Frustrated
August 30th, 2009
It’s another Sunday and I’m a bit frustrated.? I have an assistant that is avoiding my calls and a lawyer who is under-delivering.

Going to be a long night
August 26th, 2009
I’ve got so much to do it’s ridiculous! There is never enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to. I barely got a chance to work out this evening, but I’m glad I got that in. I ran about 4 miles on the treadmill, by the way, I absolutely hate treadmills. 4 miles on a treadmill feels like 6 miles on the street.
2009/2010 Yellow Pages
August 25th, 2009
I indeed decided to place an advertisement in the 2009/2010 Yellow Pages.? Although I believe print advertising is a dying medium, I’m following my gut on this one.? Deep-down, I really believe that the homeowner who is at risk of being foreclosed on may turn to the Yellow Pages to find who to call.? This would be especially true, if that homeowner is older and is more used to using a print directory vs. the internet.? The older homeowner will most likely have more equity in their house; see how this makes sense in my head?? You should.? And the main incentive is that my ad will be the only one in the Real Estate section about foreclosure prevention…boo-yhaw!

I couldn’t just leave you all hanging with the videos and not explain how I did things and the costs involved, so here goes:

Man, I have been slacking completely on my blogging. I’m back on it though. I haven’t posted any ‘Accountability Tuesday’ updates lately because as I mentioned, I wasn’t going to do so until I completed the launch of my direct mail campaign. It’s still not launched yet. I’m very close however, as I have the mail-merge setup, all of the stationary, and I’ve selected a college student with nice handwriting to handwrite my envelopes and stuff them (all 900 for $120 or $0.13 each). This same college student is going to act as my phone receptionist and field my calls during the day. I found this girl on CraigsList and haven’t met her yet, however she stands far above the other candidates and just from the looks of her on paper. She sent me her resume and this girl is solid, college senior, great relevant work experience, good GPA, etc. I’m to meet her this weekend so that I can get her the materials to get started on this first project of hers’. I can already tell, this girl is a real go-getter…my kind of people. I’m already loving the idea of having a local assistant.

Late Night/Early Morning
August 15th, 2009
Another Friday night posted at my favorite spot; On the couch, with my laptop on a TV-dinner table. I fell asleep, after going for a long-run (7 miles and could’ve ran more, I still got it!) after work at around 10pm and now I’m up at 3:43am. Don’t know what that’s all about. I’m trying to decide if I should go back to sleep or start Saturday now. Either way, I’m blogging in the meantime.

Back in it
August 13th, 2009
I haven’t updated for a week, as I went to D.C. last weekend and every time I go out of town it throws off my rhythm. That D.C. trip should be my last out of town trip until probably October. So, I should be able to work without interruptions for a quite a while. I’ve got a lot to write about from the last 8 days. I’ll post with some details later today.
