Tippr and sellhapplee

Today was my first day with tippr. I learned the power of job satisfaction and happiness. It wins over money. Four new hires were at the training today and two team leaders. Team leaders and two new hires all talked about leaving high paying job for happiness for their life even if it means taking a huge pay cut. I started thinking about that quite of bit along with what Aimee Carpenter had said long time ago ;Leaving 70k job for less than 40k to me was un thinkable. When I found out about the unexpectedly low commission percentage from one of tippr employee I was shocked that so many people were fond of working here and talked about great things. I was simply pissed that I let go of Cbeyond's 95k offer. I was screaming inside. Then, things started to get better when I started talking to new hires about pay structure. Commission was actually five percent. One guy has been there for over three months and he was still only getting paid 17.50 without commission and bonus. I thought it was very odd considering my offer includes those as an independent contractor. Big turnaround was when the real training began with Marty who had great reputation and successful track record for building sales team in his life, many talks of millions, including mentoring founders ofTableau and zillow. Since I researched those firms, my respect for Marty grew. Real deal breaker was his patience to listen, humble presence and open minded coaching style. He really reminded me of Ed Love who I looked up to and copied to have my greatest success with student
painters in my latest year as a general manager. I guess I am definitely spoiled in a sense of always having great working environment with much autonomy. Compared to what these people complain about their working environment, my resentment and impatience toward working with Jessica and Grace was not so bad after all. I have been blaming on losing passion to work with young college students and painting industry, perhaps my fall was simply due to my complacency based on my spoiled presence for wanting more fun. Abby definitely spoke of that difference between us. Looking back I wonder if that had anything to do with our split. My guess is no, but it did lead to showing her my weakness of falling into mild depression and thinking about breakup to bounce back in my life. A that time I was too blinded to see what
outcome it would bring. Enough about Abby. Her presence in my life is fading away rapidly. Now I see her much weaker than ever before due to her still having a boyfriend without real interest and her inability to control her emotion and blaming me of playing games. But I still care for her dearly, perhaps I'm choosing a path of resentment momentarily.




Enough


Great interview today. Mathias is a big chicken and if I decide to hire him, I will spend much time ripping his stupid emoployee attitude out of him. I am no sure how talented he is, however, follow up call with Ken will tell me much lucid picture. My wish is that he is willing to learn as he goes and become a valuable asset for API work and web application. I also find him to be a gate to meet more talented people in Information technology field and android developers. I do like his personality in his ability to solve a puzzle. The big question is how diligent he is and how good of a student he can be to get coached by Ken and Hassan.

One red flag was that he has very limited experience with php. He is a java specialist. Since all of our work is done with php, that is gonna take some time to either adjust or write a whole new one.

Daivd's lack of preparation really tested my patience, his interviewing skills showed much mediocrity. Given the benefit of doubt that he does not have any experience, I kept my mouth shut and praised him. It is my fault for not training him. I must make a note to either train him or find work that suits his skill more.
It is embarrassing to show my anger or frustration towRds david front of Katy and ilan because I really what them to see that I have been working very hard to control my emotion past two months. I must talk to him with ease and discipline, he try's to get away with his tongue way too often. I must lead by example.

Embrace, let go, grab on tight, look up, stand tall, bow, respect and smille with confidence.
