Hey all,
My name is Maria. Been lurking here and there for a while now.
Little backstory: I dropped out of community college. Twice. I got a job as a sales agent, learned everything I could about sales and selling over the phone, became a top agent, got promoted to sales lead, managed a team of 15 sales agents, found a math error in our comp plan that effectively gave every manager in my department a 10k raise (which the company did not appreciate much).
And then, most recently, I quit my job. I was at that company for 5 years, and hated all 5. So I quit.
I had been saving up for a rainy day that I knew was a long time coming, so I've been ok as far as paying my rent and bills. But it's been 5 months now and I'm not quite where I wanted to be at this point. I haven't been able to successfully launch my own business or even make any money online (besides an Amazon affiliate commission so small I cannot yet take it out).
I'm not giving up. I'm going to keep working on the things I've been trying to put into play, and I'll post again when I've got something more interesting to say.
Just wanted to get this first one out of the way.
