Hey Guys!
I’m sorry but I missed my blog post for last week because I was out of town for my birthday.If you remember the comedian/actor Pee Wee Herman, he would say “I’m sorry…I’m not sorry!’
Well that would be me on this instance!
Anyway, while I was out of town, we went to the only public Diamond Mine in the USA where you can dig for diamonds and other semi precious stones and keep what you find.
It was really cool.The whole learning experience of picking a spot, digging in the dirt, filling up a bucket with the dirt, carrying the bucket to a water station, using 2 sifters in a big water trough to shake the excess
dirt out, and then dump the remains in the sifters on to a table and sift thru that with your fingers to find the diamonds or other stones.
It was an amazing learning experience, but also alot of hard work and hot sun.
I found what might be a small diamond, but I still have to get it checked out, and some other cool stones and crystals as well.
And when I woke this morning, another cool analogy popped into my head.Digging for diamonds is like digging for customers.
You have to try new methods unknown to you, you have to put in alot of preparation, and time and creativity, and hard work, knowing that nothing may come from it.
But, at the same time, something may come from it, something BIG, your diamonds in the rough. Which in this scenario, is your truly awesome and loyal new customers!
So keep digging my friends and I know that your perseverance will make you successful !!
Until next time,
Jim O’Brien
