P/C
That's lousy.
You know, that you needed a client base that you did not have - that is something that lots of those sorts of companies investigate before encouraging people to sell products.
They ask about friends, family, social circles, church, etc.
Good companies of that sort do this, so they help people like you not to get involved if you are not in a position to succeed.I know we shouldn't blame others for our own shortcomings, but frankly, I don't see this as something you failed at. I think they failed to screen properly. How in the world could you be expected to succeed here? And if they had a decent screening process, you would have found out right away that it wasn't for you.
So, I'm sorry, P/C, but in my opinion, my sincere, honest, unsolicited opinion, you are NOT GUILTY. You are NOT A FAILURE. At least, not over this.
Are you mourning something else? I imagine you surrounded by this paperwork, cleaning up the entrails of this "job" and crying.
I wonder about something - how in touch are we - and I mean "we" in general - with what we are crying about? I know that I can watch a sad movie and weep my eyes out, and in fact, I am not weeping because so-and-so in the movie got dumped, but because of my own stuff. Do you think we do that a lot? Now I wonder...
Hugs again.
