Wheeling wth new wheels

I figured out a good way (let's hope so)to generate interest from consumers. I wrote the story of my friend who lives in the apartment upstairs and it came out rather well. I always believed that everyoe has something to offer so now I will prove that statement by really taking the time to get to know people. Hopefully they will be inspired to get involved with Infobility. I will compile a dozen or so stories and call it "Stories of Life Challenges from people with Personal Challenges." Like the Chicken Soup for the Soul series but I don't have the rights to that name.

I'm attending a forum on employment in Philadelphia on Saturday. I plan on meeting and learning from the speakers then sharing all of this information when I return to Lancaster. October is Disability Employment Awareness Month. I have a handout for employers and individuals. Hopefully this will generate interest and I will meet individually with people starting October. It's so hard to overcome challenges and be pleasant when you have a disability and you're unemployed. I have a friend who is just really mad at the world. There's no way that doesn't spill over to prospective employers. I wish I could find him a job since that is the answer.

A good way to improve on something is to take a class; to gain credibility one should have a personal experience with it. Therefore, I am enrolled in my third entrepreneuial course one of my goals will be to encourage consumers to think about starting a small buiness. I'm excited to use Infobility as my exammple as well as my goal. I will meet people in the community who may be interested in a program as well. It looks like the part of helping consumers will be more active than reaching bussinesses. Both goals will still remain.

Tomorrow I have my first two Infobility meetings with people who represent the Lancaster community. I'm doing it differently this time; I will gain exposure through my involvement with popular local events. My website will start with a simple wordpress but it will become a full fledged site. I certainly have done enough projects and programs to validate my skills. The one thing I really do not have is a following. People need to want to share their stories and ideas because that is the only way this will be successful.
