The 3 P’s of Success gives some wisdom nuggets that are vital to understand how “overnight” successes are made. The following information is an example of P #3.

While on our date today in Atlanta, my husband and I heard some (pretty good) jazz music playing. But they don’t play music on the MARTA train. I looked over and saw a jazzy looking guy who’d just sat down (he had a gotee). My husband told me that this guy was actually playing a cd player. The guy then turned off the music and asked other passengers and us if we like  jazz. I told him yes. He stated that he had a few cd’s left for $5.

I didn’t buy one, but gave him my card and told him that I help people learn how to market themselves. He asked me how is he doing so far and gave me his card, as well. I told him that I think he’s very gutsy and that it’s obvious he really believes in himself because he’s putting himself out there in a bold way. And I told him that I really like his music, as well.

I definitely believe he sets an excellent example of pre-success. Someone that doesn’t know him or doesn’t like jazz may not get it. But I get it. He’s doing what it takes, and as long as he keeps at it, he’ll see his dreams fulfilled.

Anyway, if you’d like to check him out:

Here’s a video I found about him, as well, posted by Rick Perera.  Listen for yourself.

If you’re asking yourself, “How in the world does she manage almost 2,000 twitter followers and still have a life?”
One secret is that I use what the experts use to make twitter account management flow more smoothly:
tweetlater.com

I love tweetlater because they are excellent and always improving their offerings and making my job easier and easier. Their app is not in beta form (it’s already been tested and tried), is relatively easy to use, and enhances my enjoyment of my overall twitter experience, as well.
