On 5 hours of sleep, I got into the city at about 7:00am today and went to get a bagel w/ cream cheese and an orange juice at Stir Cafe by Wall St.
I arrived at the company building at approximately 7:25am. As the elevator doors opened on the top floor, I was greeted by the usual pumping music. I started by yelling my pitch at the walls, then I got on the phones and started dialing away. Cold calling sucks ass.
The CEO gave the floor a quick speech about how if he gets another stupid question or sees bags under any desks, he’s going to get compliance to remove you. “If I see them, then that means I can’t trust you. If I can’t trust you, then you’re a liability. If you’re a liability, then you’re getting out of here.” LOL.
Briefing.com gave the entire company a free lunch and a quick presentation. Their fucking product costs $3000. Insane price but I have to remember how rich some of these brokers are. It’s basically a stock information tool.
During lunch, some junior brokers started hassling this trainee who looks like McLovin from that movie Superbad. This is that pussy kid that I mentioned in earlier posts. He’s 18 though so you gotta cut him some slack…I mean I was a pussy too when I was 18.
Luckily we got out at 4pm today…or at least the other trainees did. I stayed until 4:20pm.
My senior broker told me to come in at 12pm tomorrow. I don’t even know if the other trainees have to come in, it depends on the broker. Do I care? Honestly, I want to just relax for the weekend, but if I have to go in for just 4 hours, then I’ll go. I really have to get used to working 68 to 75 hour weeks. Hilarious hours with a less than 50% guarantee that you’ll make it.
At the end of this week, I made a goal. $200, 000 by age 25. Gotta go through hell to get to heaven.
