Fastlaners, I am very excited to be posting in the execution category instead of the mindset category for once (it seems the mindset was a required shift before execution could happen).
Because of the steady investments of efforts I've made to developing my writing and marketing skills, a CEO contact of mine has enlisted me to prepare a lengthy marketing document for their services that will be presented at an upcoming conference by sales team to prospective customers. This is the first time I've negotiated a business transaction without suckling on the corporate teet.
The income from this transaction is negligible (a few hundred dollars), but I am most happy that someone recognized my ability to create value on my own. My only hope is that they aren't doing this as charity, and that they genuinely believe enough in the quality of my work that it seems like a worthy investment.
This being said, it certainly isn't CENTS. I remember reading elsewhere on the forum recently that "You can't expect to merge in the fastlane in a lambo if you're currently puttering along in a toyota with a rusted tailpipe." ... So I guess this is my getting a 2018 Toyota haha. I don't know how I will build momentum with this engagement, unless I'm able to get referrals. However, it was a spark I needed to believe in myself. I hope others will soon get their sparks.
- Cheers
