It’s summer.
Friday is July 4th, a holiday.
The average employee in a large corporation
is trying to finish the tasks already on her desk.
She wants to leave early
EVERY day.
She isn’t thinking about new opportunities.
She certainly isn’t hustling for business.
(I know.
I was once this employee.)
Lucky her, right?
No.
Lucky YOU.
You have first dibs
on all of the business opportunities this week.
And there WILL be business opportunities.
Emergencies arise.
Reporters still need quotes for their articles.
Shit happens.
The world doesn’t stop turning
because Friday is a holiday.
I’ve already benefited from this corporate laziness.
A reporter contacted all of the better selling writers
at one of my large publishers.
They were ‘on vacation.’
(or rather, their assistants were)
I wasn’t.
I snagged the spot.
These better selling writers didn’t.
Take advantage of the corporate lethargy
this week.
