Can’t. Stop. Lead-Gen.

Monday started with coffee like it always does. Part wake up; part catch up; part management meeting, Allison making some tweaks to our website while I sit reading my newspapers.

Wall Street Journal: Ugh. Those Russians … Bird flocks are an issue for airplanes again … Interest rates going up, huh? Hmmmm …. you know, that means anyone selling cars or houses or boats really needs to get a mailing out to — NO! STOP! It’s 5:30 a.m. Just sit and enjoy some quiet, Bill!

Boston Globe: Jennifer Garner is a good sport. Looks like she had fun accepting the Hasty Pudding Award from those Harvard kids … I wonder if anyone is watching the Olympics … Wow, John Williams is about to turn 90 … Oh, look a full-page ad for a cross-country skiing event up in Stowe, VT. Scrolling down I see a list of a dozen sponsors. Maybe I should send this up to my friend Matt Noonan so he can follow up. Too late for this year, but … UGH! STOP! Oh, I give up!

I simply cannot stop thinking about prospects. The mail comes and I think about each piece as I go through it. I see a billboard. I drive by a bank and look at the window clings. POP signage at a gas station.

I wonder if it will always be like this. I wonder if my brother, a retired label salesman, thinks in these same terms when Marge sends him to the grocery store. Who am I kidding? Of course he does. He’s a Farquharson.

I am writing this blog on Monday Feb. 7. In two days, Allison and I will be on vacation in Scotland. Perhaps then I will turn it off.

Or maybe I’ll start now. Yeah. That’s it. I will mentally start my vacation today.

There. No longer thinking about any of that. I’ll wrap up this blog and start packing …

Bill Farquharson can be reached at….

But Matt Noonan, if you are reading this, you really need to check out that skiing event. Sounds like a ton of signage and a great way to make contact with the sponsoring companies.

UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
