When I left the business world to be a full time mommy I was excited to get away from the "Good Ol'Boy's Club." I was quite sick of the way I was treated because I was the female in the office. The ONLY female in the office most of the time. They had their little things, and that was fine. But they made sure to take care of each other and didn't take care of the one who did everything.... That would be me.....
I am back in a venture now, once again in a male dominated business. Oh gosh, what was I thinking?! It is a commission based situation, which is fine, and great, and has amazing potential... Once I start getting paid... For now, this is the beginning of month 3.... I am learning that the person that I am having to work with most, is someone who is paid on salary and has very little tact. I work very hard to be tactful and diplomatic in my correspondence. (I know, this may be hard to believe. I am much better at written correspondence. It takes more time, I don't feel rushed, so it comes out much better than when I am upset and just blurt stuff out.) Its business, not personal, so attacking his character is not appropriate. I just ask for the same respect.
I take time to make sure I am doing things properly and thoroughly. I am not perfect by any means and will make mistakes. But it makes me want to throw in the towel and do something that I know I will be paid for.
Gosh... Why do I continue to get sucked in to these new business ventures and work for free?! I guess I like feeling needed by someone other than my sweet little people and my man. Like I am still relevant. I am a sucker for an ego boost I guess...
