when you say nothing at all

Thank You GOD! :)
It’s knowing that I’m blessed. My love and faith is a deep and treasured gratefulness.

The Coleman “Let’s Go Outside” and “School’s Out, Fun’s In” Column Ad Promotion started off very shakily, then somehow it picks up in the middle and roar very successfully until the very end. RM57k and RM75k respectively.
I think the English got frighten. They were caught by surprise and unprepared. They have become very aggressively as well lately, fighting me and copying my assortment strategies in every corner. They even have the guts to ask my suppliers for my Master List and I caught Atticus taking pictures illegally of my implantation in my Subang store :) In a way, I’m very proud. It indicates to me that I’m doing something right, something that Iron Butterfly do not see, do not appreciate but the top management of the English does. Somehow I feel much more valuable.

And this week begins with another nail-biting situation: 'a HEALTHY you' campaign. Again, sales are not ringing in. It’s driving me crazy. I even went a step further by having a joint cooperation with Fitness First; hoping to create a healthy-like-atmosphere-event for the customers. The pressure is incredible. Uninvited stress for sure. I never imagined that this promotion is going to be so difficult. Working alone and being the only one around who knew what's needed to be done was probably another reason for all that pressure. Nonetheless, I can't be grateful enough for all the encouraging remarks from everyone. Its hard work; but definitely tolerable at this point! No doubt; I'm gritting my teeth and soldiering on! Inevitably; I'll be rallying my whole team in moving forward with new & outrageous business plans. Sometimes I really pity my store people. No sales, means no bonus. They worked so hard and they deserve so much more. This is reality. If you can't hit your KPI, you ain't getting anything. And I'm trying very hard to help them to acheive that.

Timing is everything. Crossing fingers – I can pull this one off as well.
Best I could do is to shrug it off and go, “Well, at least I tried!” and move on to trying something else!
