I Was Ready, Or Was I?
Progress before Perfection has become my mantra these past few weeks.
Alex Mandossian, my business trainer and mentor, along with my mastermind coach, Christina Hills, encouraged me to search strategically for my next TeleWebcast topic. It was clear that my motivation was to be a facilitator for a good news story.
I attended a local business association meeting to spread my TeleWebcastAssociates.com business story and I heard another story, a story of a man who volunteered to help raise $20M for a new university campus in our small community. Listening to him I knew this was it. This was the topic of my next TeleWebcast, also known as a TeleSeminar. This was a great opportunity to help my community by spreading the word of a cause that would benefit generations of our children.
After gaining approval of the university we set a date, I quickly put together an ASK campaign and I set up the teleconference and Instant TeleWebcast systems. I promoted the teleseminar through the local chamber of commerce, the local business association and I notified my friends by email encouraging them to spread the word. Promoted on Twitter too!
Excitement filled my mind as I kept saying to myself, Progress before Perfection. Oh yes, there was one more hurdle, the date we picked I was to be away at a business conference in Florida. As luck would have it my daughter lives in Florida. So there I was at a strange computer in a place over 1000 miles away from home base in Canada. With everything seemingly in place, I realized I had no working printer to print out my notes in case the screen went dead so off to the store I go and come back with an hour to spare. With my daughter’s computer in Florida controlling my computer back in Canada, that is itself controlling all the technology bits, I was ready! Or was I?
Then 4 PM comes and my guest is a no show. Scrambling for words I announce that I will try to reach him and restart in 30 minutes, which is what we did and the call then went off without a hitch. The information provided was informative and appreciated by the listeners.
Progress before perfection triumphed!
