How do you get a real nice job without a car; how do you get a car without a real nice job?
Starting out is hard, and I feel like I've had to do it so many countless times. Start from the beginning. Any mistake will take you back to stage one. Right now I'm just trying to grasp how to make it out there. I know that America is definitely the place to become successful, but I'm lacking encouragement, knowledge and skill in the category of: building success.
Interviews: I suck at them. I don't know what it is about me, but I can't just sit there face to face with a stranger and brag about myself. There isn't much to brag about. Yea, I worked on a Cruise Ship in the middle of the Pacific selling cocktails to thirsty drunks for $6.50 an hour. One time I was a half ass book keeper for a catering company, hired by a friend of my parents that they knew from church, made 5 bucks an hour, job lasted a couple months. I've cleaned houses for $10 an hour, rich huge million dollar mansions, I've cleaned their carpets with a neighbor for $10 and hour, using the wand and big equipment. I've flipped burgers, cleaned the grill, managed lanes and waited on bowlers, bringing them pitchers of beer, shots, whatever they wanted, and I did that for $5.35 and hour. And I've hustled alcoholic beverages for a classy downtown cigar and vodka lounge owned by a Lithuanian couple for $5 an hour, but making those gratuities really changed my perspective on things.
Money is out there. Getting a hold of it is hard to do, unless you put yourself out there in between it. For example, I can make a dollar for walking a total 6 feet from the well of a bar to a high top table in a croud, and handing them poison. I can do it again, over and over, the more friendly I am, the more they want my service, and the more service I give them, the more intoxicated they become, and the more inoxicated they become, the better they feel, and the better they feel, the more they pay, the more they pay, the better I feel, and the better I feel, the more I come back to work and hustle those drinks.
