I really enjoyed reviewing Elder Robbin’s talk “Making a Living and a Life.” Each time I read his comments and very specific descriptions of workplace motives it give me an opportunity for introspection as to my own motives, how I treat customers, and how I integrate gospel principles in every area of my work. I need to remember to follow his guidance in reviewing this on a regular basis. He counsels, “What you do to make a living, or how many dollars you earn, aren’t nearly as important to the Lord as whether you: are building His kingdom including strong and valiant families, are honest in your dealings with your fellowmen and using your God-given talents in their service; and if you are filling your life with good works, that positively impact your community and world.” Related to this is what I feel is one of the best parts of the “$100 Challenge,” the good feeling of helping provide something meaningful to someone else in need.

Rebound week. A holiday weekend is a great time to sell in a resort community. We focused on the most profitable location, the Crestline Post Office and had people selling at both entrances to make sure we gave everyone an opportunity to buy. The previous marketing research paid off and despite cold temps, we generated an additional $140 in revenue which resulted in an additional $104 in profit. So far, our profit to date is $214.
