aj's business storyAJ's business storyYou will remember that I was sitting at my desk. The desk was covered with bills. Credit card bills. Power bill. Telephone bill. A rent check. I shook my head. Every month my debt was worse. Every month I was more sad. Feeling hopeless, I looked up. I saw a book I had bought long ago.... ... a travel guide to India. I grabbed it. I read it. I saw myself traveling in India. I imagined being in a strange new world. I forgot my problems and dreamed of India. I remembered my dream: an international life of adventure. And then I knew-- something had to change. In fact, "something" did not need to change. "I" needed to change. It was me. I was the only one who could save me. Only I could escape hopelessness. Only I could achieve my dream. All of my life I said, "I am not a businessman". I told myself that being poor and bored was "normal".

I walked into work smiling. I improved my management skills. I improved my customer service skills. My life improved. My business attitude gave me a new feeling of hope and strength. Then a magical day arrived. I walked into the travel agent's office and said, "I want a round trip ticket to India!" It was an incredible moment,.... but a BIG problem waited for me when I got home. My life was super-stressful after that trip. Life actually got worse. My solution to that problem changed my life forever...... |
