That must be one hell of a nice car.
Listen to Harvey.
I know in a sales position you have to look like a major baller to make it look like you know what your doing.
I take the opposite approach and I do real fine around here. I tell everyone I am barely hanging on. Which I am.
I am not a baller. Yes maybe that is embarrasing to some. Not to me. I am not going to try and impress anyone. I am here to survive in a (hopefully not) dieing industry.
This doesnt mean I am not doing better today than yesterday. I am. I am working hard and making more every month. But there is no easy money for the most part.
My first thought when reading the above paragraph I quoted was, if you are making $200,000 even for one year, then you should have a little something saved. You must be blowing thru the cash man.
Seriously that is a lot of money. Serious money from where I stand. Once you make that kind of money you should never be close to hurting for money again. Sell the car!
If I made 200K for one year I would be set for life. You have way too high an overhead. Do you think money grows on trees and a huge income will last forever.
In 1999 a baller style killed. But now it comes across as a bit phoney. We all know Traffic Shop. We all use it. Forget the baller style and instead concentrate on being a nice guy.
A lil humility goes a long way with people.
