Wonderfully thorough bro!! ... unfortunately ...
... you will find that 50% will have gone by the time you come ... just the speed of turnover ... your list will be about as useful as yesterday's newspaper ...
So you'll end up finding that it's your SKILL in producing the list that helps you, not the list itself ...
You'll want to make a new list two to three days before coming, with 20-30 names on it max
And then review it the day before coming to come up with a final shortlist of 10-15 names, with the longer list as a reference backup
like I say, being able to do that quickly requires some practice, being able to quickly spot the ones that fit your criteria without spending long on the ones that are second-best.
Come up with a game-plan for your first day: who will you call first? where will you go first? What are your 2-3 fallback options if the first choice bombs for any reason? That's all you need. Just go, and play hard.
Then at the end of the first day, make a new game-plan for the next day ...
Too much early preparation is wasted ... as George Patton said "any plan is out of date the moment you finish it". Don't try to make a good plan. Instead, get practiced at making a good plan quickly!! | |
