Today I recruited two people. It was my very first attempt. I mentioned about my current job asked if they would be interested in joining. Regardless of excitement and expectations, both attempts didn’t go well.

The first person was one of my Reiki students. I haven’t talked with her for at least 8 years. We had a good time on sharing our recent life. It was very natural for her to turn down my invitation. She is 69 years old and currently taking care of her husband who had a stroke and getting weaker than ever. She said she is pretty occupied with taking care of her husband.

The second person was my old friend. We met at the ESL class back in 2009 and became friends. She had been the business owner of a Japanese restaurant for the past 10 years. One of our common friends told me she recently retired from her work. I expected her to take the job opportunity as an insurance producer with me, but she turned down my offer strongly and right away. She is turning to 60 this year and does not wish to get back to busy work days. Since her retirement in last October, she has been enjoying her happy retirement life by shopping around, eating at restaurants, and going to vacations with her husband here and there.

So, two of my first attempts of recruiting didn’t go what I hoped, but I am still thankful that I experienced it. I know I will learn from mistakes and failures and eventually I will reach at the goal at the right timing.

All the process of First training from the company has completed. Today I watched all the archived training videos created by my team leader. It was helpful to watch the video on my pace. I watched them as 1.5 faster speed and whenever I wanted to take a memo, I could pause to take memo or re-listen the part.

At 7 p.m. in the night I attended the CEO’s team meeting. My immediate supervisor was promoted to the upper rank and she made a speech.

After the meeting, I was suffered from the emerging emotion to the immediate supervisor. I am not going to write about the details, but my emotion was negative such as anger, jealous, and sadness. After I took some homeopathy remedies, I meditated.

My family spirits shared their block of thoughts like this.

Dear our child,

Please know that the truth is not only what you see in your physical eyes. There are lots of facts that I cannot see. The person might have helped me in our past life, and now on this lifetime, it is my turn to repay her. Or, this person might have paid lots of energy in her past life, so that she is deserved to receive the rewards back to her. Or, it might be all in this lifetime only, meaning that she already had put lots of efforts so that now she deserves to receive rewards.

In any way, you don’t need to compare with anybody. It is not a win-lose race. You can proceed in your comfortable pace. We want you to enjoy the process. Enjoy every moment. If you can fully be happy for her achievement, then next is your turn. You will soon have your success moment. All is good. Keep smiling and keep moving forward. We all love you all the time.

At 11:30 a.m., I had a zoom training with my team leader. She walked me through the process of another carrier appointment. It was for long term care. This process took us almost one hour to finish it. Then she showed me how to create an illustration of IUL (Indexed Universal life insurance.) I learned a lot today too. Days go by so quickly since this March.

At noon I had a zoom training with my team leader. Today she walked me through the process of carrier appointment. One of the insurance companies requires agents to watch their own training videos before they approve to have a contract with them. They had three training videos and they taught the detailed instructions. Just watching their training videos and having the quizzes drained me.  

I attended the regular meeting in the morning at 8 a.m. Today’s meeting was full of helpful information. One of the supervisors explained about the company system. She mentioned it may appear unfair and cruel, but in the end this system helps the team members to motivate to get promoted. Her explanation made sense to me. I appreciate my current situation where I can learn a lot and get inspired from my team.

From today, I finally could start reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad written by Robert Kiyosaki. Many of the company higher ranked people recommended this book in their seminars. Today I just read only the introduction and Chapter 1. I enjoyed reading his book.

At night at 7 p.m., I had a zoom meeting with my team leader. I sent my CE certificates to the company. I am still in the first preparation process before I actually start working.

For lunch my husband and daughter went to their favorite Mexican restaurant and celebrated my daughter’s greatly improved test result report. I was happy that they had good time at the restaurant.

I stayed behind at home alone to study CE courses that is required for my insurance agency work. I learned a lot of new information today.

In the morning my family and my daughter’s teacher had a conversation over the phone for Teacher-parent’s conference. We were delighted to know that my daughter’s test results. She had improved a lot especially on math. She is always way higher than average on her reading and comprehension skills, but this time, her math result was at the high level same as her English result. The teacher also confirmed that my daughter is going to proceed to the next grade on this autumn.

Then my family and I went to the DIY store and purchased 6 plants including 4 different types of tomatoes, jalapeno, okra, Japanese cucumber. Unfortunately none of the seeds that we planted at the end of March sprouted. I hope these plants will grow healthily.

In the evening at 5 p.m., I had a zoom meeting again with my team leader. With her help, I finished Agent registration online. I am lucky to have her as my business mentor. She is smart and effective, and very kind.

Today was my life-long best friend’s birthday. Every year two months after my birthday, she goes ahead of me. I truly appreciate her for being my life-long friend on this life.

In the evening at 4 p.m., I had my third business training from my team leader. Then in the night at 7 p.m., I joined my bigger team meeting. My team member asked me in advance to give a 2-minute introduction speech in front of the team member. Due to the small mistake from the MC accidentally started the timer before my other team leader introduced me, my time was only 40 seconds rather than 2 minutes. So, I changed my speech to 40 seconds and finished it within the alarm ended. I appreciate I have been provided the opportunities to speak up in front of people nowadays.

In the evening at 6 p.m., I attended the business training from my team leader. It was my second one. She said I will receive the work training for first times one more time.

My state already assigned me the license number. My information was listed on their official page. I am ready to take the next step.
