Putting in the effort

Why selling tickets for an event, you are in, makes you want to try that much harder.

I have recently been selling tickets for a performance I am in next month, something new to me, because every other time in my life I have been asked to sale tickets to people I have had my mom and dad (or other relatives) buy the tickets. I did this because I felt I wasn't imposing on them and that they would buy the tickets, either way, just so they could see me perform.

This time, though, I thought that I would actually sale tickets to people other than my family... SCARY! I put down a list of names of people who I know enjoy music (as it is a choral performance), who know me well, or I have seen like to support local events. I made the calls (I am still too chicken to go to doors) and sold many tickets. As I delivered the tickets to the people, I thought, 'I have to show them they are getting their money's worth. I would hate for them to walk out disappointed and wish they had kept their money for another purpose. I am going to try so hard to make them love this, that when an event like this happens again they will want to come without any hesitation.' Since then, my dedication level has increased and I have wanted that much more to truly learn the music and be positive about the experience. I don't want people to be disappointed.
