I am so sure that I am starting to feel the $20,000 in these 30 days!
let me explain myself: I have a serious backlog of customer projects I need to deliver (Web app programming) but there is no way that I could do all the work I have attracted to me (that is another story I have to share), so last week I posted an ad for some freelancing help (after failing miserably to get proper freelance help 5 months ago) and just after starting this experiment, lots of inquiries kept coming!! So now I have hired 7 people that will help me finish my 3 month backlog in about 2-3 weeks!
That will help me net close to $8000 in a very short time. Plus later repeat business.
Anyway something funny and related to this 30 day experiment happened to me: I went to a mall to pay my cell phone and a clothing store bill, I was expecting to pay $40 and $30 according to my calculations... but when I arrived to pay I was informed that I had to pay $28 and $21, not bad!! More money in my pocket!! but oh well, now its when my story gets more interesting.
The firefighters here have their annual fundraising sweepstakes and the prize draw will take place in about 18 hrs, so I was walking by past the 2nd prize display, a Nissan Xtrail, I just saw it and ignored it, but then the old guy that was selling tickets was yelling to me and insisting that I should buy a ticket, and I really mean insisting, he was saying stuff like: tomorrow is the sweepstake!!, your last chance! your last chance!!
So I ignored him again, I kept walking for like 20 seconds until I stoped suddenly and said to myself: hey!! you are in the 30 day LoA experiment, that truck is worth at least $20,000 and its effortless money like in your affirmation! At that moment I remembered I had actually spared $21 with the lower bills I got asked to pay and immediately turned back, walked and approached the guy telling him very decisively: you know what? give me a ticket! he told me the price was $13, so boy, I still got cash left after buying it! (if I had paid the bills as I expected them, then there would be no money left for the ticket). Now let me tell you that I very very very rarely buy a raffle ticket, but the fact that this guy went practically out of the way to sell me a ticket and me having the free cash to buy it, makes me feel like this is a done deal already.
Back to my story: I put my personal data on the ticket and tore it up from the stub, thanked the charming old guy and left only to discover later that the main prize is $75,000 dollars cash!! the X-trail that drew me to participate is actually the 2nd prize!!
And when I win the grand prize, he will be getting a Nissan Sentra because he sold the winning ticket to me, thus I think this is starting to fully adhere to what I was requesting along with you: for the greater good of all involved and for $20,000 or more! So in a bad scenario I got the truck valued at around $20,000 and in the best case, I end up with $75,000, not bad huh?
I am waiting for the call, anyway I feel if its not from here where I get my $20,000, it could be from anywhere because (from out of nowhere) I am getting a windfall of projects to work on, and the means to develop them in a short time! I already said that for march 2009 I will be driving a new car, and it feels so real!
So take care and I will update you on this and which prize I got, the $75,000 or the Xtrail!! And now off I go to sleep and meditate on this happening!
Bye!
