that was random and I apologize, I am often pressed for free time (not completely unheard of in the world of business) I have some semblance of a gathering in our orginazation tonight and it's really not boosting my enthuseasm like it's designed to, rather I feel like i'm watching reruns of previous meetings with our vp's. all of the information is regurgitated, handed down the corperate ladded and sooner or later some punk newbie is emulating them. the precious few statements of our allstars seem to have become scripture for the rest of us.
that is not how I want to spend the rest of my career, like a bike boy for the jehovas witness spreading the same tired old success stories of our senior vp's, rather I want to find a way to have people do this business on their own terms and give their own information and still have a decidely profitible business. now i've tried this myself and it didn't work quite as well as I hoped. i initiated a conversation with a cold contact in a parking lot (it was shopko if you must know!) basically he was just outright rude, man that guy will probably never know how close he came to death that day, I was so pissed afterwards I went to sleep with a throbbing headache.
but I digress. I have several dozen such stories and they hardly get the prospects jumping; rather they cringe at me and I can nearly smell the fear "my goodness theres no hourly wage AND you have to deal with public rejection! thats ghastly" (it's not necessary but I like to think of the meek as having victorian accents. the business owners can be tougher, the get all puffed up and confrontational. as if insulted by my proposal to replace their income. I mean i understand that nobody likes to feel like they've wasted time but these people look to project that feeling of dissapoint at me for having dissilussioned them.
one of my mentors a jason colton promised me that this business would help me grow as a person, he was right about that but i'm not sure he knew just how it would affect me. (not all bad mind you just like half)
i'll be sure to tell you how things progress over the next week (i'm moving around so it's been tough to look credible (get rich like me! ignore that I live out of a car) no worries folks not for long, a week tops then i'm just gonna hit it hard and continue contacting business owners they all can't be nos so we just have to keep on keepin on.
