Going back to working life and freedom!

After being a Stay Home Mum for 7 and half years, I am finally going back to work!

I went for a few interviews but non were suitable, through a friend who we got connected through Facebook, invited me to join her husband at Walton International. He came over to my place to show me what does the company do and how it works to help people double their value (wealth) in 4-6 years time! I was so impressed by the company that I hope I could immediately put my money in and let it grow and double! I thought isn't it a good job to help other people to grow their funds too!!!

So I went for their 3 full days training at their office at Republic Plaza just above Raffles Place MRT.

Finally on 09-09-2009, I joined the company! I still remember my first day of work. It felt so funny and looking at the telephone and feeling a bit apprehensive to how to share with others! Didn't know it actually takes a lot of courage to pick up the receiver itself! I did a few times before I could dial my 1st phone no.

My 1st call to an old friend (Tim) was full of questions which I was lost of how to answer them. But I told myself I have to be humble and learn or I will never make it, I have to have patient with myself, as I may need longer time to learn then others since I have not been working for so long and I will eventually get there if I don't give up.

On the second day of work I started to call more old friends, I have this sudden feeling of freedom that I had not felt for a long time. To be able to call friends and chat with them and even make appointment and meet up with them! Don't have to worry about the kids if I am on the phone for too long etc... I have not done it for a long time just talking to old friends on the phone.

Next few working days were more challenging, as I talked to more friends the rejection from friends were making me feeling very uncomfortable. You may have the best product of the world, you may have the best intention of helping others to grow their money, but if they don't believe in it, it means nothing!

My 1st appointment was with my best friend from Secondary School, she was so supportive and totally believe the product but doesn't have the mean to invest. It give me some confident but subsequent appointments and calls were too much to bear. I still remember this old friend who was so rude in the way she cut me off, that I couldn't make any call after that and went home feeling very sad, I have to hold my tear till I am home. What an emotional person I am!

Now I learn to tell myself the rejections are directed at the product not me, but the fear of calling friends are just too painful to bear. I started calling cold listing instead.

This is a learning journal for me. A re-discovery of myself. My strength and my weakness.

I feel everyone should at least try doing sale job, learn the ability to overcome difficult situation, learn to have positive thinking, learn to face our own weaknesses, learn from successful people around you and the encouragement from the team (colleagues) are very encouraging.

Will I make it or should I give up, I should choose to leave it to God and hold on to the believe the He will provide and know what is best for me. The most challenging part for now is to balance the working hours and time spend with my two lovely boys. Patience will bring great fruit. Amen.
