I haven't blogged this week. I've been running from pillar to post with work.
I went to Sales School on Tuesday, after being snowed out on Monday.
The whole eight hours was like a sermon. Canvassing and Prospecting. The Sales School teacher basically told us we have 90 days to "succeed", or we would be fired., even though they aren't paying us a salary. He didn't define what "Succeed" is.
I went to the main office in the city yesterday. I ever so gently made my feelings known to Jay and K. They subtlely agreed with me.
However.. K did say that if we don't meet goals in 90 days, we would be "Re-evaluated".
Tonight.. I went to a new agents meeting. Jay kindly invited some people, including me, to s special new agents training meeting,. Essentially, he explained that this is an accelerated training with higher goals for certain new agents. We were given a list of things to accomplish.. also within a certain time frame, even though he didn't say it like Ben did as "Do or die in 90 days". He wanted us to write down goals for ourselves, and how much money we want to make in one years' time. I'm not going to share what I wrote down, as its personal, but,. it wasn't a low number. When I showed it to Jay, Jay, the ever optimist,. said.. "That's entirely possible".
The guys in the office said they are going to work with me to overcome the stuttering issue due to the cold calling.
I called my dad, and bless him, his attitude toward me has completely changed. He said that he doesn't want to talk about the letter he wrote me, that got me on this path, only the change in me. When I lost it, and told him that if I don't achieve their sales goals, I will likely be fired.. he said that I cant think that way. He also told me that he knows the casino every weekend is my escape, and that he';s not going to make an issue of that anymore.. so long as I work. I told him that while I'm very lonely.. it isn't fair for me to be involved with a girl now. As long as God Willing my dad, Cheryl, I, and the rest of our family stays healthy, Mitch has to focus on work.
All I ask for personally, is four hours of sleep a night, and Jim Gardner for a half hour at 11pm . Besides that, I'll work every damn waking hour if this works for me.
I hope my mom can see. My feeling is she';s busy with other things in Heaven. I just hope she knows that her son is down here, thinking about her, going through changes I could have never imagined.
To my friends. Pray for me., Even though my dad said "I'm getting my Mojo back".. Reality is.. since my mom';s brain tumor, after being told she was "Cancer Free",. I never like to take anything for granted. All I can promise is this.. I'm going to give 1000%. I want to succeed, hope to succeed, and expect to succeed, but,, if God Forbid I do go down, its not going to be without the fight of my life.
