What I did for love...

It's 7:21 PM in my watch. I just got home from the Peppermill   Handing out about a hundred flyers to advertise this blog.

Man, I can never get over the 'salesman' fever. Can anyone reach a point where you just feel perfectly natural and confident when handing out flyers or knocking on someone's door? I wish I can . I  wish I have.

Joe and I have pretty much done everything a Realtor can do to 'advertise' ourselves. I once Door-knocked in one of the most prestigious community here in Reno. Every house it seems,felt like a kilometer apart. I'm fairly athletic, I swim and play basketball regularly but working that neighborhood definitely wore me out.

I remember when I got there I didn't even want to think of thinking, " Should I do this? would anybody even open the door?"  As soon as i parked i ran outside to go 'my' first home. "Don't think Ian, just do it" I kept telling myself.  And I did,  drinking half a gallon of cold water two hours later after I got done.
But you know what? After every time I door knock or stand somewhere with a stack of papers to hand out- I feel fulfilled. Maybe because I know i went out of my comfort zone. And I won. I won over myself. The fear of of the unknown was defeated. And that feels good.

Can anybody blame me if I open my doors for vacuum salesmen? or when I gladly accept every flyer  handed to me in the mall? you know what they, " Sales people are the ones easiest  to sell to" I now know why.

Here is the flyer I was handing out to the Joggers an hour ago. Let me know what you honestly think.
