I had two places to go to today. One was to get my hair cut; was looking a bit ragged and needed some serious cutting. The other was to pick up my new glasses (friggin bi-focal 8&%0#_*%). I have to get used to them. 
Anyway, I get to my stylist and she's there waiting for me, a gal from Scotland with a lovely lilting voice, telling me all about her family and friends getting together for the celebration of Easter. Now, this is a small shop, 2-3 operators and various other people sitting waiting their turn for hair cuts and colors, stripping, and frosting etc. We are talking away and of course, I just happen to mention that the spring is a great time to get a reading done. (Yes, she knows I am a reader and you have to make your own openings, I forget what Zig Ziegler calls that, but you need to in order to get the ball rolling). Well, first, my girl asks for a business card, which I gladly give, then come the other two operators, then about 5-6 customers. So hopefully these people will call and make app't with me. A lot of questions were asked and ME THE DUMMY THAT I AM DID NOT HAVE MY DECK ON ME!!!!!
I leave with promises and no app't. Soooooo dumb. My good friend Umbrae has told me a million times, ALWAYS CARRY A DECK!!
Even if you give a small reading to just one person, others get attracted and want theirs or will make an appointment with you. Or if they are shy, they will ask for a email reading or over the phone.
So lesson learned here is,...always be prepared. Ooops the phone is ringing and it's one of those people who got my card. (yes, I took names and yes, thank God for caller id).
