After now 5 years at my current job of selling promotional items I have begun to feel that familiar itch coming on that tells me its time to move on and do something new. This same feeling came on last time when I left the mortgage business and got into the promotional products business. Believe it or not I had a dream and in this dream I was in a stand or booth of some kind and at fair or parade or something. I was handing people reusable bags and they were smiling, laughing, and happy. I was doing the right thing, and people were happy! At that time (in my current job) I was selling mortgage leads. With credit limits tightening, rates rising, and adjustable mortgages adjusting- the last thing anyone was at the time was "smiling and happy." My dream was a very welcome relief and it felt great! In fact, I was told daily that my leads suck, I was a con man, a liar, a motherfucker and, well, you get the picture. So anyways, when i had the dream about handing the reusable grocery bags out and everyone being up beat and "GREEN" it was very refreshing. So i woke after "the dream" with a new found drive like I had never had before. I was in bed at 10 and up at 5am working on my bag company and "going green" - Wow what fond memories those days were to say the least. My industry was hot, I was a rising star! Well, at least I thought so.
So fast forward 5 years. Everyone sells my beloved reusable bags, nobody has any money, and the economic situation of the USA is dismal to say the least. I think its time to change directions again.
Tonight after the baby goes to sleep (as I sit on the couch sipping away on my glass of wine) I will reflect on my interests, my desires, my likes and my dreams.
