Looking to Grow & Continue Becoming Successful
Well to start out I know the title of this blog sounds like a hack name for a self help book but I felt like it conveyed the point I wanted to get across with this blog post.
I am always working on trying to find a way to be more successful in my life. I feel like I am reaching a stagnant point in my life, and maybe I have even been here for a few years now. I should be doing something where I make a good wage. I'm not even greedy, I would love to have a job where I made around $17 or $18 bucks an hour.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I feel like I am a decently smart cookie. I know I am a hard-worker, and I'm easy to get along with. So why is it that I see people who are not even in the same league as me mentally making ridiculous amounts more money than I do?
They say money doesn't buy happiness which I think is true to a point. Some people are going to be miserable no matter what they have and that is just the way it is.
My issue is that I am not a miserable person, I am a person who feels like if I had a steadier, income I would be happier. It really sucks not being able to afford to do something fun once in awhile. Like go on a trip to a city for a weekend or a bigger trip to a beach somewhere. Or even more standard just to have money enough to go to the Casino or go bowling or something like that.
Now I know a lot of people that are far more broke then I am and they manage to go out every weekend and party all the time but those people are irresponsible and most of them have a parental safety net which I do not have.
I work, pay bills, work, pay bills, work, pay bills etc. etc. but there needs to be more to life than that. I could just say fuck it and become a scumbag and default on everything but that is not who I am. I want to improve and start working in something that will pay me what I am worth.
Not to sound like this is a resume or a cover letter or anything but I want to list some things that I feel I am proficient at just in case anyone that reads this might know some jobs that are opening up or they could put in a good word for me or something like that.
Anyways I am a strong writer and I have been freelancing for about five years now. I can type about 80-85 words a minute. I am familiar with Microsoft Word/Excell/& Powerpoint.
I am also a good manager/supervisor of people. I have worked in retail for nine years now and I've held a supervising/management position for about seven of those years. I have been in charge of up to 15 to 20 people at a time. Anyone that has worked for me knows that I am fair but not a pushover.
I am also the kind of person that barely ever misses work and I am always early to work. When I am at work I do not screw around and try to get out of work, I do my best and accomplish my tasks. So if anybody knows anyone that is hiring for a decent paying job let me know.
