Another great episode. I, too, have been surrounded by negativity at times. Distancing myself from those influences has been so, so valuable. I remember worrying about my life being “different” if I started distancing myself from those friends regularly pointed out the negative to any positive event in the name of being “realists.”
Then I experienced the incredible rush and peace of finding and surrounding myself with positive people who have similar goals as me and there is no going back.
Nick,
Wow – you’re last sentence captures the essence of my long diatribe on this. I’m sure I’ll be sharing that on upcoming episodes of my podcast.
I have a suggestion for the questioner who wanted to learn call center operations, specifically those related to Pat Robertson’s ministry. He can do that from home, right now. There is a company called LiveOps that hires independent contractors to take calls for a range of services, including those coming in for one major televangelist (not Robertson). Yes, I’ve taken orders for Slim Jeggings, expanding hoses and every other telemarketed product, but I’ve also handled donations to charities during telethons, talked with people in crisis when they requested prayer and directed people to the right telephone number when they misdialed an 800# and reached me. The pay per minute varies, according to the time of day and the product line, but it’s an excellent infroduction to the whole call center business AND it allows a work-at-home person to interact with people for a while. He can find the information on hiring in at: http://www.liveops.com.
Thanks for all you do @disqus_jUfj1DHMwB:disqus. Can’t wait to see you and Joanne at Shawshank.
Yay for more fulltime RV families! We’ve been on the road for 4+ years. It’s an awesome lifestyle…;)
