Selling Pure Joy

About a month ago I wondered if there was a need for singing telegrams.  Do people even do such a thing anymore?  Would people pay for such a service?  

The answer, my friends, is YES!

While on vacation with my darling hubby I was contacted by a local Realtor about delivering a singing telegram to one of their recent clients as a way to say THANK YOU.  They wanted me to surprise the couple at their housewarming party at their new home since the realtor and her husband were going to be out of the country.  

After giving the project some thought I decided...what the heck?  Why not? I started my entertainment company a little over a year ago and it's my duty to provide professional quality entertainment to my clients.  I met with the Realtors and gathered information on their clients.  What sort of music do they like? What was the message they wanted to get across.  And all the other pertinent information needed for a successful delivery! I was very nervous.  It was my first ever singing telegram and these new homeowners were very special clients to the Realtors.  This gift was well thought out and very heartfelt.  I knew that I had to do a wonderful job.

As I researched the job I kept coming back to this question:  What are you afraid of?

And then it all came flooding out.  The song, how I would chang the lyrics, the special message, how I would deliver it and how I could stand out from other singing telegram companies and truly make a lasting impression.  

When I perform it comes from a very spiritual place.  Somewhere deep within my soul, God planted something in me.  A responsibility to spread joy through music.  I take it quite seriously.  I always looked at myself as quite ordinary and still do.  But he graced me with the voice I have. And one day something clicked in me.  This is truly what I was put on earth to do.  I have tried EVERYTHING!  McDonalds, Cleaner, Barnes & Noble, Sous Chef, Postal Worker, Medical Coder, Retail Fashion, Non Profit Management and Fundraising, and so much more.  I always dreaded waking up and going to work and I even cried behind closed doors in my former jobs.  Not because they are not good jobs but because I knew deep down in my heart they weren't the jobs for me.  Now, when I cry it's because of the sheer joy I get from looking out from the stage and seeing the smiling faces looking back.  It's that moment...I know I'm doing my job and I'm where I belong.

That's how I felt the other day when I delivered my first singing telegram.  There I am standing in the backyard of complete strangers.  There are about 20 people - family & friends of the homeowners - staring at me wondering what the heck is this chic doing???  I placed the homeowners in front of me and started the telegram.  Seeing how overwhelmed they were by the generosity of their Realtors as a direct result of the service I was delivering I became overwhelmed with emotions, reminding myself again that I am right where I'm supposed to be.

I'm blessed to own my own business that allows me to make a few bucks doing what I love and was born to do.  How many people can truly wake up every morning and shout to heavens I LOVE MY JOB?????

I know you and I have talked about this before :), but we have had similar paths to finding our joy in creative careers. This was an excellent post and really touched on what it feels like to pursue something you love even if it doesn't fit the mold of a "job" in the traditional sense. It takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing and I am proud of you! You are a true class act :) *applause applause applause* :D

I want to find a singing telegram company that makes a lasting impression. I have never heard of a singing telegram before. But I want to get one that leaves an impression.
