Monday 3/1

Today I got up at 6, as Debbie had a (veterinary) surgery she was supposed to perform this morning, that she just found out about on Sunday. I was going to spend a few hours before she had to leave trying to get some stuff done, as I was going to be watching Elliana until noon, which was going to eat up half of the day.

As it turns out, she didn't have to do the surgery, and I ended up spending about an hour reading the Bible and praying instead. I probably should have planned on doing that in the first place, and the day seemed to go much smoother than normal, and was very enjoyable too.

Case in point, I sent off four letters and one e-mail to various companies about offering my acoustical software services to them. I got a very positive response from my e-mail within an hour, and I'll be calling that company up on Thursday.

I had figured I'd have to contact each company about 3 times just go hear back from one of them. I've spent all this time on business development, and trying to figure out the best way to market, and my first response came very easily.

One of my friends got a good laugh at my quick response, since he knows I always put a lot of thought and research before I go out and try and sell myself. Maybe I just should had fired off a bunch of e-mails two months ago instead of spending all this time planning!

Now that I've sent my first round of letters, the pressure is on to come up with a good demo CD to follow up my letters with. It will probably take about 20 hours to do, and I don't know how I'll get it done this week watching Elliana Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, but I'll just need to figure it out.
