While acting as Shop Mama for Pedal to the People, I was given the opportunity to test my craft in connecting a company to its customer.
PTTP is an on-site cycle service— a phrase coined by yours truly. As a budding business it was important to GET OUT into the world to make money & to raise awareness.
A common trick of the trade is to teach bicycle repair. Particularly in the off season.
Most bike shops teach an overhaul class. Which can be very problematic.
First, you need to be in a bike shop, with a stand, in order to overhaul a bike. Then you need tools to do it. And time, lot’s of time!!
PTTP was founded with the mentality of bridging the gap between could be cyclists & their bikes. Anything unfamiliar is often seen as intimidating. Plus, everything listed above costs money. The average consumer/ cyclist does not have access to all of that on a regular basis.
SOLUTION? You got it!
Don’t Get Stranded!!
This course was designed to be rider friendly. Really!
Simple tricks & tips to keep a bike going. Including the know how to get you back on the road in case of an emergency. With a $20 multi-tool available for sale.
Visualize: Living Your Life just as you Imagine it.
When you don’t have a hard structure around you, you have to be alert each moment. You must respond to the new situation before you.
It is Absolutely Possible!!
Now I’m ready with How to Guide You:
This class will cover two aspects:
1. How to tap into your self to know who you are and what you have to offer.
2. Steps on developing a structure for success.
Whether it’s getting into the groove of school, finding a job, managing your life as it is, or creating something all your own. This workshop will develop your own self-confidence.
Today, I applied to Starbucks. Yesterday I applied to WBEZ Public Radio. How do you feel about Roller Coasters?
: ) ( :
Until yesterday I was lacking a commitment. To MySelf.
Here’s what it is: I AM AWESOME!!
I’ve put in my time towing the line. I am a Professional. What I want- is what I have always wanted for MySelf & that is Success.
My most recent aim before yesterdays was to Grow Up.
I’d say that I’m doing alright on that front. To back it up I applied to Starbucks.
Upon taking this assignment I was forced to Reflect on WHY I was Arresting my own Development.
Guess what came up? A flood of memories! My parents, my neighbors, my aunts & uncle’s all miserable about their day jobs. Coming home tired & upset, exhausted. I wanna cry right now just recalling it.
RIGHT?! Look at our current societal state. Shit is fucked up! People are drowning their sorrows in food, sports, crazy drugs, what else- Avoidance.
I walked the plank to retrieve my college degree in May 2008. Astrology grabbed hold of me that February & somewhere around that time Pluto moved into my Sun Sign of Capricorn…
*As I ramble on here, we are rapidly approaching the 4th! WOW, already? Yep, the 4th tango of Uranus & Pluto on Nov 1st. They’ve been in close relations for months now. Can you feel their presence? The Great Awakener dancing with the Lord of Transformation?
It’s quite likely that somewhere in your life there are bombs blowing off while in another area there exists a deep painful unraveling. That’s how it goes.
If you don’t have these forces truly present in your life yet than I’m sure you have been a Witness.
Luckily, for me November 1st will bring about my FIFTH Pluto portal. The best for last as they say. So, by now I’m pretty use to the depths of my own despair.
What does this have to do with jobs? Employment? Well, to begin I forgot to sign up for the course in college that taught about job searches. Once I was finally on the outside I had no idea where to begin!
So with Grace & Ease I managed to carve a path. Blessings too! Now I’m on the flip side of employment and working to create a structure of stability.
I mean how common throughout history is it that the twenty somethings are unemployed? You don’t hear that everyday. Unless you are this twenty something living here today.
So my Commitment: To Honor MySelf! With a DAY JOB! One that will fuel the flames of my Creativity as opposed to the typical one which is likely to drain the life force from me.
I’ve been walking the entrepreneurial path long enough to know that the air is thick with potential. And, to know how important it is to work within the already existing fabric of society.
Everything I’ve done up and until this point was in preparation for a job! That is exactly what I want. Traveling Snake Oil Salesman is no life for me!
This place where I am standing is extremely frustrating. I have put in so much effort to build up to what I am today. I’m no good sitting here all alone though.
The Toy Store I applied to told me that I wreaked of desperation after taking one look at my application!
She was right! I am worthy of more. From where I stand though the question is: where will I fit in? Who is worthy of me?! And, how do I find them?
On another note Monday night I sang prayers to God over a microphone asking that he prove his love with a Mercedes Benz. Felt appropriate. He said he’d get the next round.
The kids were all hot & bothered over a bear though:
