Scalded my fingers a bit. Forgot the garlic to cook. Realised that I forgot to cook the rice when I was supposed to fry the rice. After cooking the dishes, forgot to put the meat with the rice to fry.
I was so affected by the happenings of today. Made me think a lot. What am I to others? What kind of a person am I? What virtues / characteristics do I stand for?
When my friends tell me that they do not refer my services to their friends, is it really true that they do not wish to recommend ANY financial consultant to their friends? If I was a responsible person whom others have no qualms over in terms of personality / ability, why am I kept a 'secret' who they do not even visit themselves when they know they probably need to look at their summaries?
When friends find out that I am in this line when we meet and know that I am with Prudential, what do they mean when they say, "Ï'll keep that in mind"?
Am I - like what I keep telling my boss and friends - too late in this industry / job? I am not even trying to make lots in this! I am just trying to help people around me understand what they have and be better protected! In doing so, hopefully I can earn my share for the work I put in. Am I wrong in doing so?
This business I am in is so different from the days when I was young. Back then, you probably could still get a few people to talk to you, in view of discussing more with you on the topic, when you stand on the streets and do surveys. You can hardly get anyone to stop in their tracks these days.
I went door-knocking for a period of quite a few months. What was the problem? Is it due to my gender? Looks? The time I went to knock on doors? The area? It only resulted in ONE hospitalisation plan signed, after months of toiling and door-knocking.
The business has become such these days that referrals are so so important. Why do I hardly get any referral? Do I do less than enough? Is my work not good enough?
To date, less than a handful of friends have referred someone who needed some sort of insurance help to me. Another recently took up my advice and told me that I was the only person he could think of when he thought of the topic. You know who you are - I thank you with all my heart.
