Grocery Shopping 911…
Dispatcher (CC): “911, state your emergency.”
Caller (Client): “Hurry, Hurry, I need help at the Grocery Store! ”
I was having a conservation with one of my motivated clients about compiling a grocery list. She began to explain that she simply didn’t know where to start. Being the gentleman that I am(wink), I showed her how to construct a grocery shopping list. Instead of keeping it between me and her, I decided to share it with the rest of you. I’m sure some of you will benefit as well. Enjoy…..
