EPIC FAIL! Okay maybe not epic, but definitely not my best.
Im driving in my wonder woman costume to the gym on a cool day before Halloween evening, getting ready to put some humorously clad folks through a great workout to raise funds for the Camp Fire organization. After parking next to the gym and gathering my things from the car I strolled eagerly into the gym.
Fast forward an hour later after sweating, laughing and giving out some prizes a drove back home still in my wonder woman outfit disappointed, in myself. I really wanted to raise at least $300.
As I stretch out in bed that evening I began wondering if I was any good at anything…yeah I got a little caught up in the situation. I then remembered something that one of my business mentors says, “Remember that what you’re going through is just your current situation and it will pass, but it’s not your life, it’s just your situation. What you’re going through right now has nothing to do with who you really are, it’s just your current situation… that’s all… a freaking situation.”
Okay so where do I go from here?
Accept it for what it was, learn from it and move on. But I was having a tough time letting it go, Im sure that’s never happened to you right? I’m sure you just stroll through life looking at the bright side of everything…well suck it Pollyanna, I’m a work in progress.
Anywho, so back to getting a better mindset, I know when you reframe setbacks as opportunities, you find that you gain much more than you have lost. So I started racking my brain for a way to make this positive.
Wow wow wow! “Oh that’s a great idea”, I actually said out loud. That’s when the idea of helping more people raise funds was placed in my head. Then I asked, “well how much?”
I literally said $100,000 without even thinking. (yes I do talk to myself quite frequently)
So my mission was born!
I am on a mission to raise $100K by January 5, 2015. This will be for anyone.
So if you have anything I can do to help you get some money (legally I might add), let me know. I will keep a running tally of everything that I have helped people do from now until the deadline.
Please please please pass this information on to anyone you know…if I can help you make 400 bucks and someone else a quick $75 let’s do it. I’ll do my best to keep you posted on the tally.
So, how can I make you some money today?
