Last week a massive storm decimated the Asheville area. I live by the Asheville airport and we lost power / cell / internet for 8 days. We were trapped in our development for several days before folks could hacked at them with chainsaws.
At that point we had to drive over downed power lines, queue up at the grocery store for 2+ hours just to grab whatever was left on the shelves, and figure out how we were going to make it.
In short, it was horrible.
That being said, we pulled together with our neighbors to share resources, look out for each other, and spend time getting to know each other.
Now that the lights are back on it’s easy to think everything is returning to normal, but it will take years for everything to get buttoned up. Plus, it will be a living memory for decades to come.
If you’ve heard about all this and you’d like to help, then there are three ways I’d personally suggest.
First. Red Cross. They’re legit and they know what they’re doing. That would be the best way if you want to help, in general.
Second. Buy one of my books. I released my brand new sales book a couple days before the storm hit, and I was unable to let the world know for more than a week. So, if you’d like to give it a bump in visibility, pick up a copy and leave a review.
Third. Sign up for one of my personal media training programs. We will go over branding, marketing, sales, systems, tools, and core mentality changes you’ll need to reach your goals. Buying a book is a small step in the right direction. Getting direct / ongoing guidance is a leap forward. If you’re curious about how this might help you, hit reply to this note and let me know you’re interested. We’ll put a call on the books so we can get on the same page.
In closing, I wanted to thank you for emailing, texting, posting online, or however else you reached out to me while I was in the thick of things. It made all the difference in the world. Thank you.
