I thought the harder I worked, the more likely it would be that the higher ups at my company would value my output. Well, they valued it but only enough to take advantage of me.
Over time, I realized that I was never going to move up. It was a hard lesson to swallow. It sent me into a long depression. I would ruminate over the many days, months, weeks, and years spent at my desk trying to make the company better while ignoring my mental and physical health. I started smoking packs a day to cope.
That expensive habit only made life harder.
I was stuck in a job I couldn’t stand because I literally could not miss a paycheck. There was no way out... UNTIL THERE WAS!
One night after work, I met a friend at a local pub. She had been texting me for a week about an EXCITING MONEY-MAKING JOURNEY she wanted to get me in on.
I thought she was full of it but at the end of a long week, a beer and a friend didn’t sound so bad. Thank God I met her that day! She gave me the run down on the process – get on WIFI, set up an account, choose a business model, pick a website template and corresponding pre-built marketing campaign, activate a funnel and click or tap GO! Honestly, it sounded like BS, but I was curious and agreed to access the system the next morning.
I made coffee, followed her instructions, and went about my day. My phone was blowing up all morning and afternoon. I thought it was a stalker ex and ignored it. That night, I finally checked what these dings were about – ENDLESS COMMISSION DEPOSITS! I couldn’t believe it! This was real! That was when it all changed!
