Great story! I kept reading and thinking, ok this is where his success is going to happen and it doesn't. It's amazing how many times you kept on trying and trying. Having someone who believes in you goes a long long way.
I think this quote really showed that she 100% understands the journey that you were both on. "We looked at our options and I thought the best solution was for me to find a night job. My girl disagreed arguing it would simply put me back in the same position I was making deliveries." "Every time I drive my Murci I get a rush from every angle, the amazing rush from the car itself, the intense satisfaction of my journey to acquire it and the feeling of pride to be seen in it. I never want to lose that because that is the heart of my enjoyment, if I lose any of those elements I start to lose what is to me the real life value of the car, it then just becomes a car that sits in the garage that I show people and then try and desperately feed off their excitement hoping to regain what I once had but lost." When that new car rush goes away and you just let it sit in the garage, it's time to get a new one. Some people who buy these cars never ever get that rush. There are certain cars that just put a smile on your face every time you mash down the gas pedal. People who don't understand think that we buy these cars for show. They ask you how many women you pick up with it. They don't understand that some of us buy them for ourselves and would be total happy if nobody ever saw us driving it down the street.

Great story. I have to tell you I to sold Kirbys. I did it for 4 years. was even a area distributor at one point. But my distributor was a greedy bastard and did everything he could to take every dime any of us made. He tried to keep us under him from the start. I have to agree that it had to be one of the best schools for sales training there was. I think I can sale anything. Thanks again for the story. Talmadge |

Very inspiring.
Wow, I can SO relate to the rollar coaster ride. I can only hope and continue working to moving forward with my own story. Mine is a good story so far, but also far from complete. I can't wait to complete the next chater(s).![]() |

Thank you for your story. I found it quite unbelievable to see (no - very clearly watch, as I was on the edge of my seat reading this) how you can have it all, then lose everything including yourself, then regain everything and then some. A truly amzaing story.

i think you should turn your story into a movie. so true that people often are afraid to step out of their comfort zone. you had it all, then you lost it all beliving that you will achieve someting greater. truly inspirational.

I read your story and it reminds me of the decisions we make and how that's really where the rubber meets the road. Most people would rather be unhappy than face uncertainty.
I've been there, asking "what the hell am I doing?". It's those moments that we really learn who we are. What a fabulous story. Thanks for sharing

What an amazing storing.!! Especially have you talked about the rough times you had showing it isn't that easy to become wealthy. I really see from your story it really takes hard work, dedication, and never giving up. Thanks for the inspiring story, Cantwait2.

Wow! Thank you for sharing that was an emotional roll-a-coaster that had me on the edge of my seat.
So I too sold Kurbies (and I thought it was shitty selling a $1,600 vaccum) and now I am wondering if I didn't shoot myself in the foot. I had quit my job and been out of work for a while living with a room mate paying bills with my last check and credit cards so I answered a Carpet Shampooer ad turned out to be selling Kirby's. I gave it about four weeks sold two (one got repo'd so I didn't get paid) Could no longer afford the gas money plus the vehicle wear and tear so I through in the towel for what I've always regarded as a "sucky" job Now everything I have read thus far is making me realize how important learning sales actually is ![]()

That's truly an amazing story Can'tWait2!
Sometimes it takes hearing another's story to come to the realization that your life isn't really that terrible. |
