Today I'm in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach to be exact. I'll be calling on an account that is worth about $5 million. Tonight, I drive up the coast to Wilmington North Carolina. Tomorrow morning I meet with an account worth $1 million. I project that next year my goal will be around 30 million in revenue. Therefore, in two days time I will have brought in roughly 20% of my 2015 goal, if I'm able to close. It's a big couple of days for me.

My hope is to get the signing today, head up a bit early to my hotel in Wilmington and go for a run along the river walk at sunset. Then, I have some additional work to do, mostly compliance training. After that, a late dinner, probably sushi and then I'm headed to see cW, unbeknownst to him at the place he works. They have fantastic cocktails!

I will return late tomorrow night, pick up my daughter and drive to Michigan. We will likely get a hotel room at the halfway point.

I'm excited to see mk, b_b, ecib, and the others in Michigan this Saturday.

This will be a fun, but busy week.

edit got the big deal!!!!!!

I hope you have a pimpin' car. If I were a traveling salesman I'd be rollin' an E-Merc at a minimum.

I don't get to choose my car, it's given to me by the company. It used to be a Taurus, but they decided to give us more fuel efficient cars and now it's a Fusion. We get to have the car until it reaches 70,000 miles, then we get a new model, or the option to buy it at a large discount. We drive so much that this is basically every 2 to 3 years. It's a pretty awesome perk of the job, what's really cool is that they don't regulate that we can't use it for personal use. But the absolute best part is that I don't have to pay for the gas.

But, if I were able to choose the car I drove it would most certainly not be a Ford Fusion. I did enjoy driving the Taurus, it was a very smooth ride, the seats were comfortable and it was spacious. However, if I had my druthers I'd be in another car. Not sure what really, just not this.

Free cars are judged by an entirely different standard than other cars.

Which reminds me of Drowning Mona. Ever seen it? For reasons that are only obliquely explained, every car in it is a Yugo. It's kind of hilarious.
