Is selling , begging?

Yesterday I was having a nap.  The truth I wanted to escape from the harsh reality that was looking me into the eyes. 

 

I was out of business and needed to get some bookings for my consulting.  It is not because I need money since I make in a month what is good for about two months of top executive salary.  But I don’t want to waste my time and so need to be engaged. 

 

But I need to sell my time. 

 

Selling is a glorified version of begging.  It is tough to be begging.  Of course by begging I presume that we have nothing to give the one who gives the alms.  However it is not true.  We providers are begging that the other person takes something that we believe he will benefit from us. 

 

It is a cool logic but in the real life, it is hard to make a mind register that. 

 

It is a deep dark cave, one gets into at this point in life. 

 

Then after escaping my reality for 2 hours, I said to myself, “it is enough.  I must beg.” 

 

Then I made my calls. 

 

I got orders confirmed for 20 days.  Two calls , 1 visit gives me one months’ handsome revenue.  The best part is that the client , values my work and appreciates I initiated the process, which he calls pleasant intrusion but which I feared would be seen as begging. 

 

Life is tough and you have to wake up to the reality of life. 

 

Do the toughest work: it is good for life. 

 

Ok I still to make more calls and one visit before I go motivate some psychologists (!) at the dept of psychology and philosophy at Tribhuwan University. In one way  I am honored the these people want to hear me speak on motivation.  They motivate sick people while I motivate healthy people, that is the only difference I see.
