Hi Blindwizard How are you doing in your new career? Let us in on your new life! without blinds owl Hi Owl Before I left Hillarys I set-up an event photographic business. Basically we are invited to events such as kids football tournaments, show jumping, dinner dances and take pictures that are printed on the day/night. Good fun (as everyone is there to enjoy themselves) and no pressure because people look at the pictures on a computer screen and then decide if want to buy - no pressure if they like em they buy them if they don't they won't !! Been a big investment in photographic, computer and specialist printers. trailers etc so long time before pay back but going well. Also recently returned to computer business software sales, working for an old employer but only work part-time as concentrating building up the photographic business. What you (and other ex-advisors) doing and how's it going ? Must say even through I'm now really running my own business (again) and also working as a part-time employee in high value sales I feel far less stressed then working at Hillarys - It wasn't the selling and fitting blinds (that was easy and enjoyable) it was dealing with Hillarys that was the frustrating part of the job !! Regards to all both current & ex advisors ps nice to have a speall checker on this forum. What happened to Motters and his forum. |

Hi Blindwizard.
I,m doing well at the moment, I,m finding the 1/3 off promo really useful, just hope the new promo that starts monday is just as good.
I also find, the less contact I have with H.O things do go better! and thats a fact.
Give us the leads, give us decent promotions, leave us to get on with it = results.

Just to show the other side, I get on very well with my FSM. He's suggested a few things that have made my life easier, he's sorted my diary out, and knows that he will only be successful if his advisors are. Rare maybe, but they are there. Cuba, Russell, K, same FSM - what do you think? |

Hope you're feeling better Chris. It's damned uncomfortable for a few days, but soon improves. I sleep much better for having it done. Try not to sniff any pepper for a few days - it'll hurt  |
