We are Shifting into gear
It seemed that all is well - the game is off to the printer, we have our fulfillment costs determined, our shipping costs look good, the website is phenominal and I am learning something new every day. Let me digress and thank the many people - really experts in their respective fields - for helping us make Shift a reality. We made our first, not cold but luke warm, call yesterday and appeared to be turned down flat. As much as we try to say “their loss”, “must be a bad day for them”, etc we cannot help but be affected by this. Nikki and I take turns telling each other - no worries. But what is our next step? How do we help others understand the power and significance of this Game? We started to discuss PR and how we can get the word out. Do we start now or do we focus on pre-sales?
In the meantime, I read in the paper yesterday that Deepak Chopra is opening a spa in Westminster, Colorado - just down the road from us. He is actually going to be in town to unveil the project! Deepak Chopra - a man who could be a champion for us, who has enfluenced so many lives through his writings, The Chopra Center and his practice - all are in perfect alignment with Shift. To witness your thoughts is to be able to change your reality.
I tell Nikki, we should try to meet him - to be in his presence, to hear his voice. I think she agrees, but doesn’t really think it would be possible. A columnist with the Denver Post writes he tried to meet with Dr. Chopra and was told that “there would be little hope” that would happen. I am a firm believer in Karma, if we are meant to be in the same room as Deepak Chopra tomorrow, it would happen. I make a few calls and get the most beautiful voice of the company that is developing the spa with Dr. Chopra. Yes, there is a Press Event tomorrow with a lunch to follow. Would we like to attend? Are you kidding me? Now we need to find the right clothes to wear…and all is well. Watch for the next post!
