The Hot Tub Sale
I had made a post in General Marketing Discussion about your favourite sale and many mentioned I should blog the post. So here goes!
I got the opportunity to spend some time down south in Lagrange, Georgia to work on my golf game and at the same time work online. I had been building this site for about 2 weeks before I left for a month. The site went live the day before I left and I spent my off hours down south marketing the site.
I had some sporadic sales throughout the month, then it really kicked in gear. I started making 2 to 3 sales a day on average with a few nice days in there.
The best part was this (the story):
I had made 2 sales early on in the day, I played a round of golf - no sales, ate dinner - no sales. I had a pretty bad kink in my neck/upper back and hit the hot tub. I came back in to a nice $27 sale. I thought to myself "how amazing is this, I made a little over $27 while relaxing in a hot tub". Now I mentioned there was a lot of hard work up front, but how cool is it when you are doing something you really enjoy in life and make a little money while doing it.
It's the little successes and steps along the way that counts. Work hard, enjoy the journey, and once you end up on top of the world (because you will) - you can really look back in enjoyment.

Sounds like a Hot Tub Time Machine to me, great story mate and well done, keep em coming!!
great post, cant wait to get to the stage where you can play while the money rolls in - wont be doin the hot tub bit tho, bit too cold for that here!
You're singing to my tune! Haha yeah, most people don't throw out indexes as only a select few (mainly tournament players) know about them. My index is a 6.8 since I play on a slightly lower than average course...makes more sense to use them as slopes vary a ton. I will definitely keep that in mind if I cross the border!
Not bad. Im about a 8 or 9 myself. However, my club pro just told me we don't actually have handicaps, we have an index. Shooting 6 over can mean one thing or another depending on the course, you feel me? If you are ever in Wisconsin hit me up, I'll play ya for some beers! I just busted out a 79 2 days ago on a very tough course, I was happy. Not to mention there were a few Kokanees involved :)
I'm a 6 handicap so a good round for me is mid 70's...not too long ago breaking 90 was a good round though!
Good story. Paid to chillax in a hot tub, nice. BTW, what is a "good" round of golf in your opinion?
You also have to shoot a good round of golf, eat a home cooked meal, and deal with a painful kink...then you will make lots of sales while you work it out in the hot tub haha

I know diddly-squat about golf and hot tubs, but I like the combination:golf, hot tub, sales. I'm impressed with that and the way you are keeping your balance on that raft. Serious. Inspiring blog. Thanks.
