Are All Yard Sales Successful?

I guess you pretty much have to expect some level of success every time you host a "Yard Sale" even if your expectations are not really achieved. Today's Fundraiser Yard Sale was a success and each of the lifters will net about $120-$150 depending on a couple of items still to be paid for. This was far less that we had hoped for, but at the same time we are very happy with the outcome as this was more than what we had started with and other than a few hours in the hot sun it was actually a fun day. Of course it's back to lifting bright and early tomorrow morning and everyone will be a little worn from today's work so hopefully we can hit our expected numbers in the weightroom better than we hit our numbers today at the yard sale.
Financing the trip to the World Championships is well worth the efforts we endure and the final product will be experiences for these lifters as well as myself that most people only just think about and sometimes wish for. You can't wish for this; you have to go after it and make it happen. A yard sale, no matter how successful is a small piece of making it happen and the continued work and efforts on all of our parts make this experience what it will be. The yard sale is like one of the weeks in the gym, a step towards a goal, if we stay focused the end will be in sight very soon and more than likely get here sooner than expected.
