Congratulations to Stacy O'Quinn

"Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution." Stephen Sondheim

This past month my brother Stacy O'Quinn wrapped up with $30,100. Now that is his profit after purchasing travel packages at his cost. Way to go Stacy! He deserves it, he is a hard worker and truly desires to help other people succeed.

I always share my great months with you as well. However, as you follow my success I have to be honest and share with you the weak months. Thank God, there has not been many of them. But, this month was one of them. I finished the month of March with a big fat Goose Egg. Those of you who are still wondering what a Goose Egg is, it's a Zero! I contribute this to me allowing myself to get distracted by my recent move to Michigan. I have not stayed as focused as I should have and have not spent very much time working my business at all. Now I am seeing the results of that and to be quite honest it is painful.

I have made some changes to get refocused, Dani Johnson's last First Steps to Success has really helped with that. I have doubled my advertising. I have applied principles that I have recently learned from the motion picture The Secret. I am listening to Dani Johnson on a daily basis especially anything that I have or that she has recorded on her website related to Prospecting and Closing. I have also registered for her teleseminar that is coming up related to Prospecting and Closing. I have identified some specific areas of my prospecting that I feel I can improve; such as, connecting better with clients through the FORM process.

So here is the math behind my progress for my goal of earning over $250,000 after the cost of goods in 2006. So far I have earned $34,000. $250,000 minus $34,000 equals $216,000. Divide $216K by the 9 months left in 2006 and that comes to $24,000. So I will have to average $24K a month to reach my goal. For the month of April I am going to focus on reaching $30,000. By reaching $30,000 this month that will help me to provide a cushion for future months. Thanks for following my journey, stay tuned...
