Books, Books and More Books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I have mentioned before that I am, or was, an avid reader. That said, nowadays I devour all manner of content. It’s true that I have hundreds of books at home. Unfortunately, not all of them are on shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These days I try to multi-task and will listen whist doing something else. Occasionally I will stop, make a note and then carry on. Today was no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday Was No Exception Either<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I had to nip to the local supermarket. I was listening to the radio as I was parking. They were interviewing an actress. By my own admission, I had never heard of her but she was enigmatic to say the least. her newly released hardback was the topic of conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you open yourself up to the universe, it moves to help you along. As I was perusing the book aisle, as I always do, there was the very book that was just being talked about. Gadzooks. Needless to say, I had to buy it. “Don’t Laugh. It’ll Only Encourage Her” by Daisy May Cooper is now proudly atop a nearby pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You certainly get the low down here, or what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irony And New Careers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
‘Captivate, Irony and New Careers’ is the title and so far we’ve only covered the captivate bit. Best I get on with the rest. The irony and new careers part are intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the best part of six months I have been wanting to get into loan brokering. My house husbandry days are coming to a close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After signing up with one company I then found another one which was a much better fit. I did my due diligence and finally plucked up the courage to book a call with one of their advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The conversation was going really well, right up until the part where I was told of a sign-up fee. Now, it’s true, you can do all this stuff for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem is, if you don’t know what you’re doing you don’t know if you’re doing it right. I’d much rather invest in something that is proven. That way I have given myself the best possible chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Much?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, I wasn’t expecting the actual figure to be as much as it was. Even with it being broken down into instalments, it was still too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not having enough money to become a loan broker is ironic. Here’s the thing. I had to kindly bow out but did make myself and the guy on the other end of the phone a promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In true Arnie fashion and I do a mean impression, I uttered the words, at least in my head “I’ll be back.” It took me four months and another favour from the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll bring you up to speed in the next post. Now would seem like a good time to stop. If you’d like to check out my previous post, you can do so HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way, there is a blatant grammatical error a few paragraphs up. I mention it only because if I correct it, my perfect SEO score disappears. I feel like I’ve sold my soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Captivate, Irony And New Careers. Captivate and irony are such a juicy words, no two ways around it. Another juicy word that conjures wonderment and awe is spellbinding. We’ll start with captivate.
