Ive been browsing this forum for some time now, became a member 2 weeks ago or so. Ive been soaking in everything on this forum whether I'm at college, at work, or at home reading and learning until 2 a.m. every night . I work at a gym , which is an okay job at the moment pays good and its flexible. Anyway recently this older gentlemen came out running out me screaming(yes, screaming at me ) because his locker was not cooperating with him and was blaming it on me. I was puzzled since this guy was a normal great guy, making 6 digits, and for the most part was always smiling and laughing ,cracking jokes and so on. So I did my job fixed the problem and instead of saying sorry for the trouble and the normal "have a nice day" routine, I decided to talk to this gentleman. I said "what wrong Matt you have trouble with the wife?" He stared at me, shook his head and told me this.
"Ive been working at blahblah company for years now and i just cant take it kid, my whole life i listened to my parents growing up, went to great university for my time and got a great stable job. I told my self everything was going to be alright, and as the years past... It never did."
He then went on to tell me that he was tired of his job and actually got laid off that day(His excuse for why he so called lost it and acted as a toddler). I tell you this story because after this moment I told myself this will not be me, no matter what I am going to enjoy my life and lead life and not let life lead me. I told you this story because I want to be able to look back on this thread, on that day when everything changed for me. Right now I am going to go into Ecommerce and start doing the Hard/easy way that is talked about in this thread . I am going to find a product that is lacking value, listen to the market and add value that turns their wants, into needs. Turn a product, into a brand. Im not going to do what i love but rather, love what i do. Like i said before though i am still in the process of finding a good product i will keep you all updated when i have found one and what my plan of action will be .
