Sally Salesman

Well, I decided it's time for a career change. I've been going down the same path now for some time, but I think I finally found my calling. Here all along, I thought being a mom was my true calling, my purpose, but oh no, there's something bigger and better out there. Something no one else really wants and something I might have a niche in.

I've been dabbling in this profession off and on for a few years now but never full time. Heck, there's even been some times where I turned down the opportunity to partake in this line of work. But, oh golly, how ignorant I was. How feeble minded of me! There it was....the answer all along, the key to my professional dreams.

Fundraising! Oh yes, a salesman, or saleswoman. Sally Salesman, that's what we'll just call me! How I didn't realize this years ago when my darling children started getting involved, is beyond me?! Well actually, hold that thought. I'll tell ya what, I know why I didn't realize it all those years ago. It's because I had NO idea in the world how many more years I would have to endure fundraising. No one tells a mom with young kids that basically, if your child wants to do much, than sure shootin', you're gonna be sellin' some stuff....A LOT of stuff and like for the rest of your child's home life. Maybe even longer, I don't even know.

Anywho, as many fundraisers that my girls bring home, and as many avenues I've taken to try and help them sell their stuff, I decided that I'm wasting my time working a real full time job and using my college degree. My calling, at least for the next 8-9 years, obviously must be to sell, sell, sell! You name it and I'll try and sell it, baby! Cookies, candy, pasta, candles, popcorn, clothes, donuts, whatever, and I'm gonna make my girls teams some serious coin!

And to think, all this whining I did about fundraising over the years, just wasted. If I would have embraced the idea instead of fighting it, think of the dough I coulda brought in. Shame on me. Oh well, I have several years left to make up for it. I just have to make sure the girls keep bringing home more fundraisers, some job security. But in the meantime, I suppose I'll keep working my normal job that doesn't include sales. Wait to really hit the streets with another new fundraiser closer to the holidays when people need gifts! Ahhh, yes!
