I have an interesting situation that has perplexed me for quite some time so I thought I would bring it to you my great readers and get YOUR take. Here is the situation. I have literally run into this situation hundred's of times over the years. I interview all of these out of work alleged "Great Sales People", and what amazes me is that some of them I sincerely believe I could help become peak performers and acquire complete financial independence.
The "Unsolved Mystery" is that I cannot figure out for the life of me WHY they all wait to get a new job until they are broke or are so far behind the eight ball that they don't give themselves enough time to acclimate themselves to their new position, much less start generating income! I have seen several people just in the last 2 months that have thrown away GREAT opportunities for just this reason.
Perplexed, I ask myself if these people are just lazy and took too much time off after their last employment? Were they no good at their last place of employment so they always lived hand to mouth? Or, are they just plain arrogant and fool themselves into believing that they are so good they can learn anything and make as much as they want anytime? Therein lies the "Unsolved Mystery". Whatever the answer, and I hope my readers can give me some insight, IT'S NOT WORKING! Please take note, if you are making a career change or are terminated from your current position, look for work IMMEDIATELY! "The Specialist" guarantees you there will be a learning curve before income starts being generated.
It truly saddens me the number of people I have crossed paths with that have missed tremendous opportunities because of this "Unsolved Mystery".
