Incident that happened today.
The pressure is really starting to get to me. Something happened, and I royally fucked up. Luckily.. My dad showed mega support, which made all the hell I'm going through now, so much easier.
As I may have posted, each agent took an advance with all of us having an insurance policy, with a large premium every month. I thought I had calculated this month's premium into my checks for this month, but with everything going on, not so.
I ended up having.. $150 less than I thought, which prompted me to have to ask my dad for money sooner than usual.. (Money he holds for me, that's mine).
He called me just before, and I lost it with him on the phone, crying, saying that rather than be a burden to him at age 74, I wish I was dead. He proceeded to get angry, and tell me I'm crazy, and have to think positively. Very, very difficult to do, when you have a termination letter sitting on your desk, and you're. not long away.. from being thrown out of a job, you killed yourself to get, and retain.
My dad told me that the attorney we know who works at the big law firm, is going to a corporate picnic this weekend, and is going to track down the people we need to move the deal along. My dad also said that another friend of his, a very nice man who is former head of a big corporation, and on the board of nursing homes, is going to help us.
He also said,., that if God Forbid I run out of time, and do get fired.. I now have a resume to go to another insurance company. My dad has gotten out of some tight business situations in the past himself, both when my mom and I were living with him, and after. He said "Mitch, you're a fatalist, you have to think positively". I see his point, but it's very hard to do, when I know the time frame I'm working under.
My speech has gotten better..and Im going to practice cold calling with my therapist next week, and then hopefully implement it in the office the day after that.
If God helps those who helps themselves, then I hope and pray he will help me.,
My friends.. say a prayer for me.. One deal. will change my whole situation at Aflac. I'm ready and prepared to do whatever it takes.. to succeed.
