Missed Shoemoney

February 10, 2009 · Filed Under General 

Shoemoney was here in Phoenix, AZ for the past few days.  Last night he hosted a tweetup and ivited everyone to attened.  I work a “day” job that often has me working 2nd shift.  I wanted to attend the tweetup as it was an excellent opportunity to meet Shoemoney and many others.  Unfortunately I had to work my day job and was unable to attened.

I got kind of frustrated as this kind of opportunity doesn’t come around everyday, and I don’t like my day job anyway.  It pays the bills, and I am grateful, but its not what I want to do.  My normal response would have been to get mad and get down.  Then I would have gone into a slump and been un productive for the next week or two.

After my previous post about association I have noticed a HUGE difference.  Just by being on twitter every day and reading and communication with successful people my perspective has completely changed.  Associating with people that are where I want to get to is like an injection of a productive attitude.

My thought this time around is what do I need to do to be ready for an opportunity the next time it presents itsself.   The answer is as pound it out | work my rear end off between now and whenever it is.  The bottom line, this time I am motivated to move forward and hammer it out.  Associating with the right people is an amazing thing.  Twitter is an amazing tool.
