This doesn't feel like self-improvement month; it feels like gin rickey month.
Amen Sister.
I almost didn't send out a message today because I'm just NOT feeling it. But, I'm trying to stay consistent with at least one message a week.
The good news is, I did get a former client to bite on the discount. So, that pretty much paid for my time.
If only I could get 10 more, life would be mighty fine.
Thanks for your comments Ginger. As I said in my backfling, you are really good at this stuff!
Erin, I haven't looked for linked in groups OR commented on other people's stuff. Maybe that sort of thing is what I should be doing when my creative juices are flowing like a not even moving thing.
Thanks for the nudge. And the complement. I've been using Constant Contact for 10 years and this is the first template I've been really proud of.
It took EPIC tweaking.
EPIC tweaking.
I am rapidly learning that that phrase is shorthand for OH GOD OH GOD MY EYES PLEASE STAB ME A THOUSAND TIMES WITH A PITCHFORK INSTEAD.
bonny, slight error in the second paragraph in the blast email "with
you
finances and in your career".
Oh crap. Thanks Epic. I really should get editing before the fact because there are ALWAYS errors like that. Most of the time, I am pretty sanguine about being dyslexic. It's stuff like this that makes me crazy.
And I apologize for taking your name in vain.
And, yes, Erin...stabbity stab stab.
I connected with the head of tech at CC, so now I get even better service when I need help with the tweaking. And the evolutionary process of their design wizard has been really good.
I have a question about wording.
I want to check in with a financial planner I met with last week to see if he has come up with any referrals for me.
I don't want to be pushy, but I want to be pushy because I need those referrals, he said he might have some and I don't want him to forget me.
My initial impulse is to link him to a couple of blog posts about money communication.
What can I say that doesn't sound desperate?

My pleasure. I can't turn it off, so I'm glad to put the grammar/spelling/typo nazi to good use. (I was trying to not use "nazi" there, but couldn't come up with another word to convey what I was going for. Hmm.

Hee. It did catch my eye, though. So I guess it worked for the best.
edited to fix tag/paren error that would have driven everyone mad

A fucking men, sister.

I don't think you need to specifically remind him about the referrals. Just send the articles and say something like, "I thought you might find these helpful."
Check. Desperation talk duly redacted.
Just the two links and a hearty, Enjoy!
Thanks.
My oldest friend opted out of my mailing list today.
A fact that has no particular meaning, and yet, I'm bummed.
Sheesh. I try to provide decent content, but is just goes nowhere.
Feh.
If I knew the right thing to do, I'd do it, dammit!
