Keep the customers!!

This week I realized that it is much easier to keep a customer than to find new ones. A happy customer will return to you again and again. I am working hard on my $100.00 challenge. I am selling homemade banana bread, it is delicious, but I have found out that, it is not a primary need for the people. Each week I try to look for new customers. I have to sell over 500 units to fulfill my $100.00 challenge. It is not easy, but I realized that my happy customers are buying banana bread each week, and it has been harder to find new customers. So I want to keep them happy until I finish my project. As I mentioned before, one dollar for me means eight times more work. One Quetzal which is my currency is only worth an eighth of the dollar. I also learned that my product needs to be a purple cow. I don't have too many competitors. It is not that easy to find banana bread in the bakeries but I have to make my product especial and different from others. I will try to find the purple in my product.

I also learned something very special this week. We have to appreciate our life and take the best of each day. I understand that sometimes we just feel like sleeping all day, but we all have a great potential. We didn't come to this earth to rest. It is our time to work hard and succeed. The opportunities are out there we just have to find them. We have to learn how to believe in ourselves. Sometimes we are the ones that stop us from achieving our best. Our fears need to become our motivation not our stop. When we are not healthy, we wish for health to be able to do whatever we want, but when we are good we just accommodate ourselves and forget to keep going. I have wondered what does it mean to succeed? For each one of us will be different, but we need to set a goal and know where we are doing. Every day we can have little successes. Just even trying can be a success. But we will never succeed if we don't try!
