The Passage of Joe: How Important is the Salesperson?

                                                                                                                                 How does someone convince yourself to do something in life. To buy a product, get involved with life or the opposite to get you to feel bad about yourself so you want the product. That is the salesperson. And I've been doing a lot of thinking about that. Many people now a days are trying to sell you on products, more and more. I'm even selling products, but there is an importance of it. With a society that feels that they are out of control a product might help. And do it better then the one you've got. As I learned this week about salespeople. People who are pushy and someone who was nice and wanted to help. In life people are pressured in to doing something when they have doubts. This is why products sell themselves. However, when they are pressured into get something or joining something they hate the product or regret joining. However, if

The Passage of Joe: Marketing Yourself in Today's World

How do you market yourself in today's world? Is all lost? Or have the opportunities not present themselves? What is the key to success? First, there is marketing. You need to be a good at marketing yourself and to be a good businessman or business woman. The fact is we all have the tools to succeed in life and haven't had that business opportunity presented to them and some have. And you have to work for success. I haven't been doing the right things like many. Like many I am an employee. I work for the benefit for others and I miserable with life. I bust my ass in two jobs and I work on my dream on the side, but I am going nowhere and the sad thing is like many I dedicate my hard earned hours and I'm either not treated good or not even paid attention to. I'm just doing a job. However, one of my jobs they look out for my health. They gave me time off to recuperate. I have been stressed like many. How do you market yourself when the environment doesn't suppor

The Passage of Joe: The Revival

Everything is a sign and everybody has their day in court and everybody deserves a second chance, but what does it take to resurrect something that has been buried an and forgotten in the ashes? What's is going to take in a changed world while living with the old values? How do you instill those beliefs in a world that cares about themselves. Everyone is into themselves now and the wars are out for control. How do the ancient values survive in a world that has moved on from them? How does the heart matter in this world? That is you fight for it. You comeback even though their are days that you don't want to get up. You comeback even though the world has left you behind. Sure there may be people that will put you down, sure there will be people who say that dream is impossible, but you have to rise above all of that and continue. You have to move on, but come back with something fierce. A fire like none other then before. It is a desire, but more then that it is a reviva

The Passage of Joe: Keeping your drive going despite defeat, story about Daniel Bryan

How does one keep your drive going, especially after getting knocked down. It could be in a good way or a bad way. I'm not going to focus on getting knocked down and dwelling on it. I'm going to talk about getting knocked down and keep on going and get up where you last left off like it didn't happen. In my life, I've had situations where my inside were ripped out of me, I've been in situations where my job was on the line, and I've been in situations where I've failed miserably in love, also where my writing wasn't good. I've had flaws in all areas and I take no offense, but defeat only drives me to be better at what I do. I know I'm not a best seller now or I'm not a famous celebrity, but I'm in it like in a marathon. I know there are some days where I don't feel like going. I've had those days. I've had days where I knew a major argument was coming and I had to fight to make that phone call when I was fighting myself

Update for the Month of April 2014

Last month I didn't accomplish that much with my writing I attempted to start a segment to a blog called what am I grateful for? And I tried to continue a blog entry called The Passage of Joe. I did complete an interview and was working on another one, but I have been busy outside of writing. I have been busy working my two jobs and working on getting my finances in better shape then before. This is what I will cover on the update for the month of April. Money is very essential to live and I have been reading a book called Smart Couples, Finish Rich. It has given me idea on how to put aside my money. I am like most people, I didn't spend my money right, but I am here to say it is not to late for anyone. People who are in their 50's can do it. Luckily I'm 34 turning 35 this year. I have a ways to go, but I'm going to get there. It all starts with saving money and building up a fund. Then start putting more aside for your debt rather it's bad debt or college loa
