traceyj checks in friday march 21

since we created today's game, four days ago, i've practiced in my head, i've practiced out loud, i've shared with others, friends and family, that i would be selling on friday for an hour. .. .i've sorted it often. ...i've put attention on barry and harman through the week; i put attention on people, supposed strangers; i've put attention on who i would sell to---on friday. ...

i had two books (laughing with god $10) to sell; i was not allowed to Not sell at least one was my rule. (as my feet hit the pavement at 4 pm est, i realized i should have brought other things to sell...)

and now the hour is over, and my sales results are here:

10 approaches

6 presentations

2 books sold

I finished in 40 minutes and my energy and YES felt me and me them.

The people: Always surprise me; never do anything like anyone else; always have something going on; never hurt me; Always touch me; Usually tell me a story; Breathe; Seem alive and not; Delight and expand me.

Both sales were to women who I have a story that I "can't" sell to. One knows God is her personal savior. She didn't offer to make me know the same. She introduced herself, her name is Marion, and she has 3 children and 6 grandchildren. She thinks her son-in-law has his own copy of Laughing with God.

I had no idea either woman would buy. The second one didn't flinch, she didn't look at or in the book; she looked at me. She just pulled out her wallet and hoped she had enough cash because she never carries cash anymore. She had more than she thought she did. She looked forward to reading the book; her sincerity was kinesthetic.

I look forward to more playing with my friends barry
and harman and hope others join us.

Love,

tracey j


I will sell tomorrow----There Are No Accidents.

Tracey--Congratulations. I like your description of the people who bought. I am inspired by not letting yourself Not sell.

Cheers--more sales tomorrow...
