Making it Happen: Successful Phone Calls for Bookings!

In summary, Anna finally made the phone calls she's been putting off, and left a few messages. She is now practicing for her show and looking for a new house.

Well ladies-I FINALLY DID IT!!!! I forced myself on the phone today-I've been putting it off and putting it off, and I FINALLY MADE THOSE CALLS!!!:sing: I didn't get any bookings, or at least not yet-but I left a few messages, so hopefully those will pan out for at least one show! I had been coming up with every excuse imaginable-the house needs to be cleaned, I don't want to be too loud while DS is napping, I need to shower, I need to run errands-and while making these excuses I was dragging my task out so as to put the calls off a little while longer-point of the story is, PICK UP THE PHONE!!! After the first call it gets easier, and then after the second even easier and so on and so forth. The phone DOESNT WEIGH TEN TONS!!!! I'm so happy! (And rambling, so I'm going to go for now, and I'm going to try to find MORE people to call!!!:) )
 
Way to go! I did the exact same thing this morning, and was surprised how easy it felt after a few calls. Hopefully phone time won't be so hard next time. Keep it up!
 
Set regular work hours and those excuses won't get in your way.:)Way to go--it gets easier from here on out!
 
Good job! if only I could get over my "excuses" cause this is a serious stumbling block for me for 2 years now! I really want to Just do it and I think I will start this weekend!?! Keep up the great work!

Augusta/Gardiner area. We're house hunting now, and the market and I are NOT friends, lol-houses are soooo expensive in central Maine-it's all those bedroom communities, lol. I was going to PM you-I'm starting to think about hospitality and all that-I want to find somebody I click REALLY well with, and I was wondering where you have your cluster meetings?
