Blogging is work too!
I am writing this at quarter to seven on a Sunday evening when I would normally be chilling so it may seem a bit rushed.
Firstly, the dollar challenge. I sent a message to family members,
and a few friends last weekend. Six people in total. I used the script
in the book to request the dollar:
Hey [first name]
I’m reading this book Million Dollar Weekend, and
they told me I need to get $1 from someone.
You’re the first person I thought of, and it would mean a
lot to have your support.
Can you send me $1 right now?
[Your name]
Everyone responded either that evening, or the following
morning. I received five positive responses and one negative response. So
pretty good response rate for family and friends …
So, what did I learn?
1. I pressed the send button with some trepidation, even when asking family and friends
2. Asking for a $1 when living in the UK is going to cause confusion …
3. May have received a few envelopes with dollar bills enclosed if I lived in America, but in the UK it is important to include another payment method.
4. Could I send the same message to anyone other than family or friends?
5. Some people will just laugh and give you the finger …
The second challenge I did during the week was the Coffee
Challenge which involves going into any coffee shop, make a purchase and ask for
10% discount. I tried it in a Costa and was told no. The point was to feel
uncomfortable, so mission accomplished.
I have still to finish the whole book but found a summary here
if you are interested:
Next week I’m going to tell you about wochay and how I see
this blog developing. Stick with me for a bit!
