As I was sifting through the e-books I've collected through the years, I came across this business skills thing for dummies. And one of the most essential ingredient to running a successful business is.. drum roll please -- rapport.
I guess that's the part where I've had quite a success in my dealings with difficult people. You know, no matter how good you think you are but if people aren't receptive, nothing gets done. The irony of it all is I can have rapport with everyone else (save for a few) but not my wife. We often have clashes of opinions and she's quite adamant when she talks on how to go about things. However, when things go south, she asks for my help. I told you this was gonna happen, I often tell her.
I had all these e-books and I'm rushing to read and pick the essentials of what's gonna be next for me. There's a job that's just waiting for me to go but it's gonna be in a call center. I could use the experience and well, it's also a good place to brush up my engrish.. hehe
Wifey's cousin happens to co-own the company so my one foot's already at the door. I would probably be useful to them with my vast experience in the *cough*cough* corporate world. Then there's a lot of hiring in some jobs website and I must admit, it definitely scares the crap out of me!
Eighteen years of not having to apply for another job takes its tool on ya, I guess. That's especially true when you're not at the prime of your life but that's one of those self limiting beliefs I am trying to shake-off and overcome.
To increase the probability of getting hired is to send out an overwhelming number of applications. Heck, I can drive for Uber because I just got my NBI clearance and there's a car to drive at. What I really, really need right now is to focus. I'm like a shotgun firing at some goal and the bullet just splinters away. I needed to be a sniper rifle so I'm shooting at something and hitting it directly.
Ultimately, my goal is to start my own business and be an entrepreneur. There's a boatload of information and education to be had but it's been a month since I abruptly resigned and I'm still grasping for what's my biggest next thing. I need to make some quick bucks not because I want it but just to feel better that I'm earning again. I've given most of my savings to Wifey so she can grow it. Been helping her grow her business further. There's no need to experiment because hers is already up and running it just needs more pushing so it can grow some more.
I'll give myself one more month to sort my issues out and then it's a do or die situation already. LOL!
Memo to self: After this party we are going to later, it's time to turn up the heat and get something done. Already!
And NO, no more Facebooking! Only when it's about business because it is such a waste of time to watch people giving their best shot in some awesome places here and abroad. Yeah, I feel execrated!
Happy Sunday and it's time paaaarrttttyyyyyy!!!!
