I wish to write this down about my feelings during these 7 days of my new career. New career as a financial planner. I've never thought of becoming a financial planner at all. But because of my surroundings, it changed me. I've been a secretary under an insurance company for 2 years, I'm the only administrative staff meaning working office hours. Of cause there are pros and cons being the only one.

Sometimes whenever there's nobody in office. Sitting in a quiet place, done with work it really makes your thoughts run wild. Agents in my company are as young as me. They earned a lot more than me. Yes definitely this don't always come easily like a snap of your fingers. I reflected myself hard, am I not stepping out of my comfort zone?
So I decided to actually try out this new industry to me.

So you always have to start planning?
So plan about what?
1. who do you want to find?
I said I do not want to target my warm markets because firstly I do not have many friends. Secondly I believed it might actually affect your friendships. Which I really dont want it to happen, i have a few nice friends out there. And I really thank god for that.

2. Are you ready to be ignored?

There's a lot to be listed.

Today is my 7th day contracted.
I havent started my sales training yet so i cant really sell to cold markets cause I'm still not confident in the products. I'm trying to learn. Yes, i do asked my friends and all. To be honest , yes it was to earn lots of money. I want to give more contributions to my parents. But i started to realise actually.its not totally about money. You wanna help people. But of cause i get rejections and all. I have a habit of reading motivational quotes and kinda make myself positives.

Sometimes i get angry and disappointed because people dont know the importance. They dont treasure their lives. Their answers are 'my life not precious' ' not interested' 'no money'.
Whats makes you think your life not precious? Do you know how many people are so much unfortunate? What about your family members?
'not interested' , isit about your interest or caring and treasure your own life? WHat about if something happen to you, you or your close ones arguing over money.
I'm not born rich nor I'm very healthy.

No money, so how do you think your afford medical costs ten years down the road?
I'm not ranting but I feel when someone offer you a helping hand but no one thinks you are helping them.

I'm kind of affected but I do feel your client dont buy from you for a reason. And yes I'm trying to stand on their point of view and i will.improved on that. I hope I will be given more chance and I will do my best to serve everyone even its a rejections
