It’s 12:30 A.M Wednesday morning, I just risked life and limb to get my pregnant wife a flipping Snickers bar in the middle of what many forecasters are now “Snowmeggedan”.
Before leaving the house I thought “Snowmeggedan” was just a another hyped up media ploy, like this “Are money’s gonna run out thing” they’ve been crying wolf about for the last 6 years now.
Turn out, the “Snowmeggedan” thing is the REAL DEAL. Unlike “the sky if falling thing” they foolishly prod us with daily… Though I secretly do wish the IRS would start believing them and so they’d give me rest!
Even her beastly Toyota Mini-van was nearly overtaken by Snowmeggdan…
Why Am I Wrting This?
Well tommorow’s my kids first snowday EVER (he’s just 4) It got me thinking about how exited I used to be on snowdays. There was nothing better in the World back then… nothing.
Guess what, becauase I chose to “turned off the media” and ”turn on the hope”…
Because I chose Wholesaling when times were tight and everyone (including my Snicker eating wife) was telling me “Get a job like everyone else”…
Because I kept my eyes on the prize rather than other peoples opinions.
Tomorrows my snowday too. No boss to call. No explaining to do. Hell, I might just take the whole month off and become a “Candy bar mule”…
So I guess what I’m really saying is… When you’re finally ready to Drop the Zeros and join us heroes we’ll be waiting for you.
Eric – I couldn’t agree with you more. I am a full time wholesaler, and I absolutely love this business and the freedom it gives me. Like you, I refuse to participate in the recession. Great post.
