I’ve attached my hero story below.  I had sent it to Halle’s email as directed in one of the videos, however,  I didn’t hear anything back.

I’m finding that this site is sometimes very hard to follow with regards to communications.  The best feature, where I always get feedback is the Journal at the end of some of the sections.

Anyway hopefully this is the right process so I can get Halle’s feedback and move on.

2. That’s interesting, do you live in the Portland area?

3. How long have you been there?

4. Okay, great, let’s chat for a few minutes, I have a fairly large network that might benefit you.  Are you available tomorrow at 1, 3, or 4 oclock?

May I have your mobile?

5 things that frighten me in life:

Poverty, no money to pay bills, no money for food and shelter

Fear or lack of anything, life itself.

Overwhelm

Unable to support myself, and at the mercy of others control

Failure at life and lack.

Pain and anguish: physical and emotional

10 thnings I am grateful for:

1. I am grateful for my Savior and my faith and religious beliefs.  I am a spirit daughter and a child of God. A daughter of the most devine Father in Heaven.

2. I have a home- shelter

3. I have family

4. Food

5. Friends

6. Help

7. Improving health

8. Growing knowledge

9. Trainings to help me learn

10. I am still alive

I am grateful to money because it lifts me out of poverty to a greater life.

I am grateful to money because it helps me find hope of a better life.

I am grateful for money as it helps me feel I deserve better than what I grew up with and need more of.

“Paul – good to hear from you.  Not sure I understand your question, but I am in software sales.  I have sold many different types of technology, but currently focused on Supplier Information Management and portals.  Is that what you are asking?”

“Sorry I’m confused. Are you looking to hire me or looking to show me what your offer??”

“Hey Paul, hope you are well too. I’m in Supply Chain. Anything in particular you are looking for?”

“Hi Paul, we met through networking many years back. I sense this is a cold LI outreach campaign vs. a persona connect. Good luck with the campaign. If there is something specific, please let me know. Glad to be a networking partner.”

My Q #2 would not appear to be an approriate response to these replies.  Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I am a financial advisor and took my lead for the questions from the Video #2

Please review my LinkedIn Profile and provide comments.

I have completed the bulk of my LinkedIn profile based on Matt’s narration in Video #4.

I will continue to enhance the Features section as well as other as I go along.  I’m anxious to just keep moving forward :))

Thanks again Dean Hanson

My letter to money..

I have always wanted to live a comfortable life so we could help our children, grandchildren and just have an easier life than our parents.  It’s also allowed me to give to those in need.

My father loved money because it made him feel powerful.  My husband loves money because he likes to see it accumulate and it helps him feel secure.  I mention these because it helps me establish why I love money.  It allows me to do the things I want for myself, our family, and others without asking for permission from anyone.  We were able to allow our children to go through college without debt because of money.  I also love money because it gives me a sense of security.  In relation to my business, I have had a successful career and love that money allows me to feel confident about when my next opportunity arises.  I do not live from hand to mouth.

Money has allowed us to make wise real estate investments over the years and to save for our retirement.   It has allowed us the opportunity to visit our families in Italy for a month, some of whom we’ve never met (this was a dream of a lifetime for us).  Without money none of this could have happened.
