Well I had a interesting turnaround last night. My plan was to join this company and hopefully make money enough so I could quit my full time job eventually, but things changed last night.
I had decided to get a friend involved to see if she would be interested in what I was looking into. So I made plans to meet with her and I invited my new friend to come along and show her what he showed me. By the middle of the presentation, I could see that my friend was getting irritated with the idea that she had to listen to this speech that he was giving her and she wanted to know what it was this was about. Cut to the chase, so to speak.
He said to her that he was helping me train because I was joining their company. I have since changed my mind after last night, because I got more insight as to what was involved and what I was really presenting to people to buy. Which is selling insurance.
My friend who we were introducing this to gave me something to think about. She is smarted then I thought. What I got was that the person presenting the information follows a script in a book style presentation. They don't look in the person's eyes much so it is a feeling of disconnection right from the beginning.
The people they present the information to, doesn't feel connected to the individual presenting. I was so interesting to be an observer of what was happening between the two of them. They started to become defensive, she wanted him to stop and he was determined to finish what he had started even thought he knew she would not be interested anyway. I came back with the knowledge of how I could approach my other business that I would like to work on most.
I think what I'll do is wait a few weeks and tell her that I really valued her opinion that day that helped me with my decision on if I should join this business. So I would like her to come and check out another business that I need her opinion on so that I can get a different perspective on it.
I want to be part of something, and I want support in whatever I get involved in also. Be part of a team. My other friend Julia, who has me involved in the business I want to work on, seems to not want to give up on me for some reason. I think she believes in me more then I do for myself. It's work in progress.
I'm interested in a book I must find called The Soul of Money. It has been mentioned to me a few time now, so I must need to read it. On top of all the other books I have that I want to read. LOL
Oh ya , almost forgot. I am going to this new talk on Thursday evening called, Money Connection which they will openly discuss the issues around money. We will discover our money archetypes. Looking forward to what that is about so I can blog about it.
Your Money
