The I Love Door Knocking "December to Remember" Christmas Extravaganza Thread (powered by bacon)

[KRobby]

It's raining. A very cold rain. I really do not like door knocking in the rain. I won't do it. I know I should. But I really find life unenjoyable when I am struggling to keep my materials dry and myself presentable while walking along dirty wet sidewalks in the cold December rain.

I love what I do.

Except when it rains.

I really do not like door knocking in the rain.

It was 45 and sunny in the beer city. Almost wore my beach shorts. Still had to watch out for pockets of ice though.

I'm only about $250 away from reaching my original goal, and about $7000 in AP from my revised goal.

In either event, I am as of today sitting on my best month since I went full time in February.

UPDATE:

I should ... write $1667 in monthly FE premium in the month of December for $20K AP.

$21,252 AP MTD, aka DecemberToRemember

Nice, but still tracking for activity goals?

I can't write $21K FE without lots of activity.

Nice! I know lots of people do well with money goals like this and just make sure the activity is there, as opposed to an activity thermometer.

For me, personally, I find focusing on the activity keeps me mentally in the game through the occasional slump. I have had four separate 12 hour days in the field this month when I made not one sale - two of those were back to back. As I was focused on making sure the doors were knocked, rather than the money money I was not terribly bothered by those days.

Maybe it is just me, but if I were focused on the money, I would be tempted to break that down into a daily money goal. Any day with a goose egg, especially back to back zero dollars could really make me feel like I had fallen behind. Then comes the pressure.

The idea for me is to focus on what I can control and let the chips fall where they may and any individual knock or any individual day.

If you only focused on the money goal, you would've already hit it and stopped, without knowing what you could max out at. Activity's the right way to go.
