What has your
attitude been toward your business and your prospective customers lately?
Do you feel
like quitting?
Or do you
have a renewed zest for life and for your success?
It is like
the "glass half full" scenario isn't it.
When we think
that our glass is "half empty", the world looks gloomy and bleak.
Nothing seems to work and everything seems broken. Your family is against you;
your friends are against you; your closest associates seem to taunt you because
you are "not there yet".
They ask you why you keep on trying? Why not
just quit?
This is the
point where most people give up.
On the other
hand, change your stinking thinking; take a deep breath and forge ahead into
new frontiers with renewed vigour and enthusiasm. Success is just around the
corner!
Something I
discovered is that when I take my eyes off myself and focus on others, my
business soars.
How about
you?
That said, I
have decided to challenge myself to raise $100,000 for charity this year. I
plan to do it through crowdfunding.
One day I was
feeling a little "down" with my business when a sweet friend opened
my eyes to a bigger picture. She mentioned that there is a charity in my city
that feeds homeless seniors. They are struggling to find the funding they need
to keep the meals coming.
I was in
shock! I could not believe my ears! Are there really old people on the streets
during the Edmonton winter with only a backpack to carry all their belongings?
Upon further
investigation, I discovered that there is a friendship center called
"Operation Friendship" right here in my city. This center provides
three meals a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year for these homeless seniors.
I also discovered that more than 15% of seniors in Canada are homeless!
Now I was
really in shock! I had no idea that these people are being forced to live out
in the cold winter.
What could
li'l ol me do to help with something of such magnitude?!
Brainwave!
I had seen
many GoFundMe profiles of people needing financial help and how successful they
all were, so I decided to set up my own page for fundraising to help Operation
Friendship.
It would make
my heart sing if you would be so kind as to donate just $5.00 to help our
efforts. The money stays in the account until we are ready to donate it to our
charity. Then we connect it directly to Operation Friendship's bank account to
pass along the funds.
GoFundMe will
not list our crowd funding site for our seniors until we reach at least $500 in
donations.
You know 200 people, who
know 200 people, who know 200 people, and so on. If we share this with all our
connections and everyone only donates $5.00 each, we would achieve our goal in
no time at all!
Just imagine how we will
be helping our own people right here in our own back yards!

I hear so many Canadians
complaining about how we always go help everyone else in the world before we
help our own people. This should be one charity that will make our fellow
Canadians pleased to support.
Please, please, please
help me feed these homeless seniors!
