Ohh, so now you're listening right?!?
I want to tell you the story because I want to show you the elements of the things I teach
working in real life.
We are both self-employed and find ourselves working from home all the time. So we've made an effort to have workdays outside of the home. Her normal workday to do this is a Friday - but this week she had to switch it last minute to Thursday. She's at the Starbucks working happily.
Eventually all that tea catches up to her and having to go to the restroom, she does what we all do - she turns to the closest person and says "Can you watch my stuff?"
Returning, happy and grateful she asks him what he's working on. This sparks up a conversation.
Now here's where the story gets awesome!
My best friend, who is white, is now looking at this 38-year-old attractive black man thinking… Holy cow Tanya needs to meet him! (I'll be 44 on July 6th).
He's a quality man, well-spoken and intelligent. In
the tradition of every great best friend - she begins trying to sell this man… ON ME!
