I ❤ 💓 💖 💗 💘 💙 💚 💛 💜 💝 ♥ SALES When I was 6 I took my toys/books outside in my apartment complex and put them on the lawn and stopped EVERY grown up that came by and told them what I had for sale. When they tried to keep walking I jumped in front of them and said Id give them 3 for the price of 1 and a massage LOL. Then my bio Dad used to work on nuclear submarines and would bring home muffins from the kitchen. I took the box and wrote, in permanent marker, Toys For Kids (a.k.a TOYS FOR DEANNA but we had to market the message right)..$3/muffin and knocked on everyones door at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Got this young, hung over woman answering the door all moody and tried to say she wasnt interested and I put my little foot in her doorway and told her these were bran muffins and good for her health and would make her feel better..She bought one and shut the door..Probably threw it away LOL.. Thennnnn..when I was 8 years old I made a bunch of flyers offering everything from housecleaning to dogwashing and lawn mowing..I named my company Double Ds (LOL omg..dont ask). The day after I turned 16, and could legally work, I applied at 7 places and had a job within a week and was SO happy to be making money. I never looked back at my younger years and regretted that nor have I ever said I miss the days I didnt have to work because I have always loved working. When Eddy met me I was working at a hedge fund full time and had 2 part-time sales job (real estate/retail) and I LOVED it. I was bored with all the time I had with the first full-time job so I went to apply for two more LOL. But every single time I added college to the mix I just wasnt feeling it. Ive got a million stories but I should have seen the signs back then. Id score in the 93rd-99th percentile for college/nursing program entrance exams. College wasnt hard for me and I have always liked learning but I was MISERABLE chasing after a degree. I was SO miserable and couldnt figure out why..Misdiagnosed myself with depression. I questioned myself EVERY night wondering if this was what I wanted to do for life and if it was worth going into $90,000 worth of debt..The moment I decided it wasnt and figured out I was BORN to be in sales was like having a black cloud lifted off my shoulders and my depression was gone INSTANTLY. Im not kidding you. INSTANTLY. NO meds needed. Stopped trying to fit myself into societys little box and the depression was GONE. I have never been happier or filled with so much purpose. Took the money I had been saving up and invested it into a business instead and never looked back. WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO DO SALES? College and jobs arent always bad but if you feel miserable and are going to sleep questioning yourself every night, you probably arent living out your dreams or following your passion. If you feel that nagging feeling...and youre restless..that is your intuition..dont question it..Listen to it...not your parents pressuring you, the news, your coworkers or your non-hustler friends lol.
