Stage 3 day 27
Had Pretty funny day with some serendipity thrown in...
Early today i started some rituals for some personal development. Manifestation experiments for short and long term goals, and some of the short term goals were achieved within a few hours (one was a solution to an old problem and another was a unique and significant bit of information for my business).
I took my dad on errands today since today was rental car day and made a very surprising business contact at an old computer repair shop.
This is a place I've been going to since I was in high school, and the popularity of the place has fluctuated over the years. Now it's a bit empty and the owners are looking to amp up their online marketing. That's where i come in.
The owner knows my dad from decades ago when the shop first opened, and the owner asked what i do for a living. Cut a long conversation short, and i am now setup to do the marketing for this guy's business, with the strong prospect of helping his family's other businesses as well.
What's crazy and strange about the whole thing is that because this exercises my SEO knowledge, and I told him I'm a tiny bit rusty with new shifts that have happened in the SEO world, he didn't care and is 100% willing to pay me to help me get his business thriving again.
I mean, I told him I'm not cheap because it takes a lot of work. He said he'd pay. I also said I haven't taken in marketing clients for a few years because it's often not worth the time. He again said he'd pay. So...next week I'll chat with him over skype to see what i can do for him.
I'm avoiding any sort of disappointment with this dude thinking I can do more than what I'm able to do. But it's apparent that he's desperate and even basic marketing knowledge is just absent from this guy's business model. That explains his very much empty store.
So, I'll help as much as I can IF it turns out my abilities match his needs. I know the first impression was good, but do the expectations match ability? I guess we'll find out soon enough
