along with my SA job. A friend asked me to help out in her business about 20 hours a week. I thought it would be no problem as it was early afternoons and most signings are after 6:00pm. It was also the understanding that I could take signing jobs if they came up. Well, Murphy must have been following me around because as soon as I started, everyone had to close in the afternoon.
I was going in late and leaving early most days. If I had been the boss I would have fired myself. The stress of trying to keep everybody happy, along with lost signings 'cause I wasn't always able to answer my phone, made me realize that I couldn't do both. Oh, and edocs were a huge problem. Even though I was told to go ahead and print at the job, the printer was so s-l-o-w. I attempted this dual career for a month. I was late getting to work, late getting to appts., late getting to bed.
I consider myself a pretty organized person, but I was not able to accomplish this without feeling inadequate in both roles. The extra money was not worth it. Actually I made about the same as before, but worked alot more. Hopefully, the stars will align for you and it will work out fine! |
