Thinking Like A Manager

THINKING LIKE A MANAGER

I AM A MANAGER & NOW I THINK LIKE ONE


Okay I am a Manager now, have been since November 2015, before that I was Assistant Manager (still a Management Position but just not with as much responsibility as a Manager). Since I have become Manager I have started thinking like a Manager. I realized this once I was put in charge of receiving job applications and having to weed through them. You know whenever I was searching for a job I would find one that I wanted to do and I would read the description and think Damn I don't have experience I wish they would just give me a chance to get experience.

Now that I am looking through job applications submitted to my store and to Exxon I have to think like a Manager and so I have begun to do so. If you think about it the reason Hiring Managers ask for experienced people is because they don't want to have to train a new employee. They want someone who has experience so it takes less time they have to train that new employee. I too want someone that has at least 2 years of experience in the retail/customer service field because it will take less time to train them. If you think about it, training takes time and money.

What's Your Morning Routine - 30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 9

30 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE - DAY 9

"WHAT'S YOUR MORNING ROUTINE"

So today''s 30 day blog challenge is entitled, "What's Your Morning Routine". First I wake up every morning at 4am, happy that God has woken me up for yet another wonderful day filled with happiness and gratitude and gratefulness. I RISE AND GRIND!!! I go smoke a cigarette while I check my Facebook Notifications and my e-mails and get that first cup of coffee in my system. That's my go go juice. Around 4:30 I go take a shower and get ready for work & take a couple of selfies then I kiss Vickie goodbye and head into work. I am Manager, I take care of the Shell Station and the Exxon Station but I am mostly at the Shell Station now so I go into work and I start the coffee pots to brew coffee and I put that morning's newspaper on the rack and write down how many were left from the day before and how many came in that morning. Then I go and open the register and login to the Lottery Machine and print the lottery numbers from the day before and sit them on the counter so the customer's can grab one. After that I really get to work. I organize the paperwork from the day before, I organize all the credit/debit receipts and all the coupons go in one stack and organize all the scratch tickets and online tickets and put them neatly in a stack and then I put each shift paper by shift from the day before together and put my Manager Sheet on top and staple the 4 of them together and grab the report off the printer and staple that. Then I start writing down everything on my Manager Sheet and tally everything up to see what our sales for the day before was. After paperwork is done I go and stock the coffee bar which includes stocking creamers and sugars and coffee cups and lids. Then I vacuum the rugs. After that I go and take a break and go outside and smoke a cigarette. And I get on my phone and post a selfie or two on Instagram.

AVON - Join my team!

AVON - Become an Avon Representative today!

Join my team! So many reasons to get started today.

Hello everyone, hope each and every one of you has had and is having a great day. It's always a great day when you wake alive and breathing and in good health. Think positive is what I always say, thinking positive is the key to a happy, positive life. I am Aiden & I am an Representative and Star Promoter with Avon. I started as an Avon Representative 2 years ago and selling was great but I wanted more. I saw how other leaders in the business were growing their teams and just making so much money and moving up the ranks so I decided to start my own Avon Team and so I started to build my team and at one point I had 35+ people on my team. And with that I became a Unit Leader. Avon has changed the leadership structure and titles and ranks. So I am now a Star Promoter with Avon. I don't have quite as many people on my team as I did before but that is because people unfortunately gave up and they quit or Avon just wasn't for them. I am here to make money and help you make money and be successful in your Avon Business. See a lot of people don't have the extra time to sell Avon but if you are a stay at home mom or want to work from home then this is a great opportunity for you. Do you want to be your own boss and not have to answer to a boss at a job that you dislike? Well, I know I sure do. I wanted to be able to set my own hours and work for myself. 

BUT WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN AVON YOU MAY ASK? The answer is simple really, join Avon because it's ONLY $15 TO START. Join Avon because you want to be your own boss. Join Avon because you want to start your own business and become a successful entrepreneur or network marketer and be in network marketing. Market and advertise your own business using social media tools available to you. Join Avon because they offer you a way to move up the ranks which means more money you will make. You have a lot of potential, you just have to see that and with Avon their are other Avon Representatives there for you that will inspire you and motivate you to be a success. 

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN MY TEAM? You should my team because well, I am a great leader and I can help you become successful. It's not going to be easy and you may get frustrated and want to quit but that is the key, you must NOT quit, must NOT give up. So many people have come and gone with Avon and they wonder why they weren't successful, its because they gave up, because they quit. You won't become an overnight success, now don't get me wrong, some may have become an overnight success maybe, but if they have that's because they REALLY worked their business and they were determined and dedicated and motivated to be successful. WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN MY TEAM? Join my team because I will train you and give you the materials you need to start your Avon business and I will help you get started. I will motivate you and hopefully inspire you. I make it fun to be on my team. I offer incentives to my team members, such as whoever gets the highest sales in a campaign will get a gift card from me or if the whole team had a successful campaign with sales being really good then I take the team out to dinner or have a pizza party. I make it fun to be on my team. I will stay in contact with you and never ignore you. I will be here to answer every question you have. I will walk you through how to place your first order and how to order Avon Books that you need for the next campaign.

SO JOIN MY TEAM!!! It's ONLY $15 to join and get started and Avon sends you a starter kit with books you need to get started and also in the kit you get FREE AVON PRODUCTS. Yes, FREE!!

Even if you don't want to be an entrepreneur maybe you just want to earn an extra income or have extra cash or make enough cash for that SUMMER vacation that you've been wanting to go on. Either way, there are so many reasons to join Avon and as Summer is quickly approaching, now is a great time to join my Avon Team and get started with Avon as an Avon Representative.

Favorite Quotes - 30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 6

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 6

"Favorite Quotes"


Today's blog challenge day 6 is "Favorite Quotes" and some of my favorite quotes that come to my mind are quotes from The Joker. So I am going to share some of my favorite Joker Quotes.

MADNESS IS LIKE GRAVITY
ALL YOU NEED IS
A LITTLE PUSH

So how true is this quote? And can you relate to this? I surely can. It makes sense if you think about it. You don't know madness until you are pushed over the edge.




THEY LAUGH AT ME
BECAUSE
I'M DIFFERENT.
I LAUGH AT THEM
BECAUSE
THEY ARE ALL
THE SAME.


I can relate to this quote because for my entire life so far I have always got picked on, made fun of, talked about, you get the idea. Everyone always laughed at me and made fun of me because I was different then them. Had I been like them none of that would have happened but that is okay because I would rather be different and unique then be like everyone else. Because let's be honest, being like everyone else is boring. Why not stand out in the crowd. 


YOU CAN'T
SELL DREAMS
TO SOMEONE
WHO HAS
WALKED
THROUGH
NIGHTMARES

What do you think this quote is about? Does it make sense to you? In my opinion, there are so many meanings behind this quote. You can't promise a person that their dreams will come true when they have lived a nightmarish life. Joker for example lived a life of abuse at the hand of his father. You ask him and he would tell you this exactly BUT it made him the person he is today. It made him a much stronger person.

Have you walked through nightmares? I know I sure have and like I said above how it made The Joker stronger as a person, the nightmares I walked through taught me a lesson and made me stronger as a person and built the foundation for who I am today. I think these things can be a lesson for each of us, maybe a lesson we didn't want to be taught however.

INTRODUCE A LITTLE ANARCHY
UPSET THE ESTABLISHED ORDER
ANY EVERY BECOMES...CHAOS
I'M AN AGENT OF CHAOS
OH, AND YOU KNOW THE THING ABOUT CHAOS?
IT'S FAIR!

I like this quote, its actually kind of describes a little bit about me. See when I was 19 I decided as my first tattoo that I would get the Anarchy symbol tattooed on my bicep. You may ask why I chose that as a tattoo and especially as my first one, well, the answer is simple. The way I grew up I never liked authority or being told what to do. I liked to do my own thing, I didn't want anyone to control me and especially not the government. I broke the law yes, did I caught? NO! Did I learn a lesson, maybe but hey I was young. Did I care? NO. I got married years later to someone who was older then I was and who thought to use that as a reason to control me even more. Hence why I don't date older people now, at least not one's old enough to be my parents SMH! It was a bad marriage. Controlling, Emotional Abuse, Mental Abuse, yeah. Of course like I have said before, that situation molded me into who I am today, it made me not make the same mistake twice I'll tell you that much. NO ONE CONTROLS ME!!!! I never really let my parents control me and I was sure as hell not letting some woman who was older then me treat me like a child anymore or control me anymore so I got the hell out of that situation and boy I had never been happier to get the hell away from her. Since then especially I have not let anyone else control me or dish out any form of abuse to me. I try not to put myself in situations like that anymore. I am much more mature and wiser then I used to be. I am definitely an agent of chaos at least I used to be. There was always chaos when I was around. Ha!

WHY SHOULD I APOLOGIZE FOR THE
MONSTER I'VE BECOME? NO ONE EVER
APOLOGIZED FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY!

Now without trying to sound all psycho well, if that's what you presume about me then hey I don't mind but I can relate to this quote HOWEVER with that said in a sense it's like The Joker is blaming others for the way he has become. I know everyone should take responsibility for themselves and their actions BUT I do agree with The Joker in a way. What way is that you may ask? Back to my marriage that I totally regret to this day, my ex wife made me the way I am today. It was a fucked up relationship to be honest. A relationship that I should have never gotten into however I was young and dumb and naive and let others take advantage of me and use me and that is EXACTLY what that damn woman did. SMH! So relationships after her I started not to trust anyone I was with, and I always thought they were out to use me or take advantage of me and maybe you will say I am just being paranoid but if you look at the facts and information you have, the next relationship wasn't me being paranoid, it was what you would call being aware. Because exactly what I thought was happening did. I was used, I was taken advantage of. Every relationship I have had did have some good times, maybe, I mean there may have been some good memories but it is hard to think about those good memories when the bad memories outweigh the good ones. So to my point, as Joker says, "Why should I apologize for the monster I've become because you made me this way"? Yes exactly. Why should I apologize for becoming this way when all of yall made me this way. Mind you I am now currently in a good relationship with a wonderful woman who is so NOT like the rest by no means at all. Also its not just about relationships that made me this way. Growing up my dad and I are so much alike that we used to butt heads and I would cuss him, yes I was a bad kid, a mouthy one, who didn't respect authority you know you get the point. My dad and I used to fight a lot when I was growing up and he also used to tell me that I would never amount to anything and that I was retarded and the emotional abuse and mental abuse I suffered from my father really shaped me into who I am today. However my father could be the reason I am so fucked up in the head with bipolar and other mental shit you know. I don't want to put the blame on anyone else for me being fucked up in the head BUT you don't just wake up and all of a sudden there is a monster inside of you, ya know. We are all a victim of our circumstances so to speak, a victim of our circumstances and our surroundings. I grew up being told I wasn't good enough, that I was retarded and that I wasn't going to amount to anything, you know that kind of fucked me up in the head and made me actually start thinking it was true. When you are told something for so long you start to actually believe it. So I grew up with a father who was always so very negative and a mother who has always been such a positive person in my life and was the complete opposite of my father. Not that my mom babied me necessarily but when my father would tell me I was retarded my mother would tell me I wasn't. And when my dad would say I wouldn't amount to anything my mother said the opposite to me. She was very uplifting and encouraging and she always has been. My father isn't the same person who used to be though, he has changed. He is not as negative as he used to be but that's because he just gave up on life really, he doesn't care about anything anymore. He just sits in his recliner every day watching tv and only gets up to go to the bathroom or go to bed. He does that every day. You know I have always wanted to be like my dad because despite the way he treated me as a child, he was like my hero and I looked up to him. BUT, I don't want to be like the person my dad has become. I am determined NOT to become that person. I don't want to waste my life away. I want to actually live my life, make something out of myself you know.

If I Won The Lottery - 30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 5

30 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE - DAY 5

IF I WON THE LOTTERY

What would YOU do if you won the lottery? Well, me personally I would buy my fiance Vickie and I a house with a lot of land and no neighbors and put a fence around my property so Bo and Cinder had room to run around. I would also buy myself a brand new vehicle since I have never owned a brand new off the car lot vehicle OR I would by myself a VW Bus like I have always wanted, however I can't drive a stick but buying one of those would force me to learn how to drive a stick shift lol. If I won the lottery, I would also fix up my mom and dad's house, actually I would probably tear their house down and just build a new one for them on the property. I would also pay off my parents bills as well as mine so we are then debt free and have no past bills to worry about. I would also, since I would be in the giving mood and want to help my family would give my sister and her husband some of the money to do whatever they wanted with it, and I would set up a college fund for my Niece Kaylee and a college fund for Vickie's niece Zariah and also set up a college fund for Vickie's other niece Ella. I think its important a child once of age goes to college. I didn't go to college right after I graduated and I regret it however I did later go to college down the road. I ended up also joining the Army. 

If I won the lottery I wouldn't be all selfish about it. HOWEVER, you know when someone or anyone really, finds out when you win the lottery all of a sudden you have relatives and friends you didn't know about. That's how it always happens. If I won the lottery I would donate some money to the Warm Homeless Shelter in Waynesboro because what they do is help a lot of homeless people and what they do is great.

If I won the lottery I would open a homeless shelter for GLBT Youth. That may sound strange BUT you would be probably, VERY surprised at how many Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender youth become homeless, when they are a kid still, yes a kid, hence homeless youth. Its sad because they come out of the closet so to speak, tell their family about it and a lot of times, not all times but a lot of the time the parents disown their child and kick them out of the house. Its sad and I got lucky to have such great parents that didn't do that to me but a lot of GLBT Youth are not that lucky. So I would build a homeless shelter just for those youth. The shelter would have rooms, private rooms for each person staying there equipped with their own private bathroom. The rooms wouldn't be extremely big but they would be big enough for a bed, a dresser, a desk, a closet and a bathroom. Yeah, can you tell I have already thought this out. Yep! This has crossed my mind so many times. Trying to open one well, I don't even know where to start, wouldn't even know where to begin. BUT, this is one of my dreams though. I have to look into it for sure. I would hire people to work at the shelter and to run the shelter in which case that would bring more jobs to the area. In the shelter there would be a game room because most kids love playing video games and their would be a library in the shelter equipped with books that they can read and there would be a study room so they could do their homework in which would have tables and laptops or desktop computers for them to use to do their homework installed with the latest programs such as Microsoft Office that they need for school. So there would be a game room, a library, a study room, oh and there would also be a gym at the shelter so they could work out and keep in shape. There would be a fully stocked kitchen in which they could cook for themselves if they wanted to and if not there would be a lunch room which would be staffed to make the kids food for them sort of like a cafeteria but smaller. So what do we have; a game room, a library, a study room, a gym, a cafeteria, a kitchen, the homeless shelter would also be on property with land so the kids in the shelter could play outside if they wanted. And outside would have a basketball court, an area to play soccer with soccer goals on each side. I would buy a LOT of land of course to make my dream come true. Am I missing anything? I would also hire mentors for the youth which would help them study and help keep them motivated to do better and would hire tutors to help the youth with their school work if they needed it. Also I almost forgot, there would be a medicine room with a nurse that would hand out the kids medicines if they needed to be on medication. Oh also each kids room would be equipped with their own TV mounted to the wall. So yeah if I won the lottery that is one thing I would do because I forgot to mention above but I am a Volunteer at the WARM HOMELESS SHELTER and 2 years ago I started a cause called BACKPACKS FOR THE HOMELESS, that is a cause I started which I would buy stuff and pack backpacks with essential items for homeless people and hand them out at the WARM SHELTER and the homeless shelter in Staunton, THE MISSION. I would buy toothbrushes, toothpaste etc and I would pack a women's backpack and a guy's backpack. So as you can see now I have a love for helping homeless people. 

I don't know what else I would do if I won the lottery, I would probably, well I would definitely put a chunk of it in a savings account and let it draw interest and not touch it. Back to I would buy Vickie and I a house on property. It would be a log cabin with a basement, the main floor and an upstairs and an attic. I would have a garden in the back and I would have a place to ride 4 Wheelers and of course I would buy Vickie and I a 4 Wheeler to ride.
