Today started out crazy. Kind of overslept being that I went to bed at like 0400. It was really weird. I just got into one of the modes where I'm reading and just can't stop. So I kept reading. Then I had this crazy dream which to me translated into, "keeping your mouth shut at times can be beneficial." Yeah, still working on that one.
Anyway, I woke up to an email about setting up a meeting with a potential mentor here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, which was really cool. This company does business with the NFL and over 150 college teams. So....
By 0900 my orders for Helmet Hoodies finally came in. Let me tell you. China can really put it to you at times. The dude I work with seems cool, but once I get that investment to do everything inhouse, I'm ghost. I'm tired of longass deliver times. Peace. I can get them jawns out in 2-3 days doing it inhouse, I just need that bread to do it.
So I have 10 orders I have to ship. Sidenote for anyone planning on shipping. If you buy your own boxes, and make sure they're the right size, you'll save a ton of money shipping that way instead of with the Priority or Express boxes at the Post Office. So I get these orders out and put in a handwritten thank you note to each customer. It's the least I can do. I mean, without them I'm just a dude with a hoody. So...
The rest of my day was spent looking for a job while I grind on the business side. I mean, I'm not eating off of H.E.A.R.T Athletics just yet. I don't want to have a business and live under a bridge. Kind of defeats the purpose. Moving on. I drove down to Dallas for a networking event. The concept was cool but the people were really cliquish, so I stayed as long as I could before I dipped.
Now I'm back at the crib. Bout to fire off some emails, read the Bible for a bit then hit the sack. Planning on getting up at 0600 for a run. That's the plan anyway. Oh, and a haircut. It's been almost 4 weeks since my last cut and I officially have no hairline. It's just a gaggle of hairs adhering to no official set boundary...
