*UPDATE* – Yep I won 😀 http://bigmal365.posterous.com/and-the-winner-is
I don’t normally leave unlocked work posts but this will be one. Mainly because this is about what has been a long 12 months of my life. Today is the 1st July, which means the financial year is over. My year of stress, sales & what could be classed as fanatacism has come to an end. Thankfully I only have a few days left till a break because to be honest, I freaking need one.
Last year I started off the financial year by writing my bucket list. On that list was one major goal for work and lots of little ones for my life. Well that work goal was to be the #1 consultant. I told my team leader at work (who has changed 3 times in that period mind you) that I was going to make this goal happen and I would need every little tip, trick and bit of help I was going to get. I had been #2, god damn i was going to be #1.
I set the goal with the mindset that I will do everything I could do to make it happen. I would have to dedicate the next 12 months to this goal. I started to work more and more, towards christmas though, I was lagging way behind. I wasn’t sure if I was going to even come close. But, I knuckled down, I didn’t give up. Things changed, I started to regain some ground. For months I was sitting in the #2 spot, this was a bit disheartening but I knew that if i stuck with it, I could do it. I was coming into work like an hour early or more, working longer, skipping breaks (which lead to skipping snacks), taking every single call I could get to make every sale count.
Then I could see the light, Things changed I went from 10k down to being possibly in the lead, I got worse, working harder and harder to get that lead. Now with the month over, I feel totally and utterly drained. My body feels like it could do with a bit of a break. Thankfully the financial year is over, I can start to wind down a bit, i can unwind. I can start to take my breaks, I can be that little bit longer inbetween calls, I can do those extra little things that may not get me a sale but make people feel better.
So hear is to good news today (hopefully i dunno if the sales will be released, knowing my luck it will be monday) and expect another update soon about it.
