I don’t understand this concept. You get together with a bunch of other people to get them business. More people know you, the more people you’ll have for refferals.

There’s meetings, there’s events that you should attend to show your support and then there’s the “homework” you have to do as well. It’s like going to school for meeting people. It’s the more connections you have in the community. It’s a reason for poeple to ask for free things and discounts on services.

I guess I’m just frustrated with so many people knowing my name in a town I could care less about. In a place where the poeple are so fake and the lies flow out of their mouths like air. A place full of buisness owners where the the nieghborhood you live in matters more than the degree you worked hard for. It’s not the size of your accomplishments, it’s the size of your pool. It’s a small town Minneapolis wanna be.

Hypocrites.

It’s our name, it’s our word that should define us. Not how many zeros are at the end of our yearly net income. Not the vehicle we drive or the house we live in or the fake smiles we make our families put on. Showing off what you have doesn’t change the lies you hide.

Frustration with this goes deep. I just don’t understand what’s wrong with honesty. Even if I had a seven diget income, you wouldn’t be able to tell. I wouldn’t show it off like a new Maserati. I would rather have people want to know me because of my personality and not my money. Here, the more money you have, the more hand outs you get. The more attention you get even if you are a complete losers.

Yesterday, I was in the office for a meeting and I was so frustrated by the lies. There’s just so many things that we are doing wrong. We don’t have leaders, we have friends a that’s why we fail… I would love another position to be honest. My age has officially become an issue.

That stability I long for… it’s so far away I can’t even see it’s coattails. This slow time of year puts my head in the clouds. Dreaming of a time where I know exactly what I am walking into and a time where I no longer have to worry about what people think of me. We train ourselves to look past that and move on… not here. If they don’t like you, you aren’t making any money. I feel like a prositute to my career. Which is dramatic but it’s true.

“Show them a good time and give them all the information and they’ll reward you greatly.”
