GRANT VANDERBURG
I just a had meeting at World Financial Group/ Trans America for a possible part time job. The part time job isn't a choice for additional income, in fact it's an opportunity for me to progress through my political journey. The group of people that work within the bussiness all have different ties in professions. We have people who are well diversed with realty, doctors, lawyers, public speakers and the list goes on.
If I take this job and train, I can understand the financial world and actually help people who are less fortunate through the world of finances. My friend Colin reminded me one evening that when I finally decide to run for office, it's going to take money. I told him I would worry about it when I get there but until then, I wanted to get the support of the people and be known from word of mouth or attend rallys and volunteer work. However, I find it interesting how this opportunity was laid out in front of me. The morals of the company seems good, but it's essentially a pyramid scheme on gaining money from others. I often thought that the pyramid scheme had a negative connotation, but it's only negative if you don't give it a purpose. I may be put into the line of helping privileged investors and if i can build a rapport between them and my political views, I may have investors in line for donations when I run for office! Not only that, but if I'm successful with the job I'll have additional funds to put into savings and our home. I wont have to quit my original job, in fact. I wanted to keep it for safe of mind, so the company is asking that i put in 5 -15 hours a week into the office as well as training time, I can see if it all works out. I dont lose out of anything, except for the fee that I have to take the test and licensing. Now this isn't the first meeting I've attended that had the same concept, but at the times that I had interviews for I was in need of a stable income just to pay for bills. Now that I'm comfortable with our income, I have more to gain from this than anything. I no doubt will have people working under me, that way I'll be able to make more money. But if i can put into the view to why they would take this part time risk with me, that it can help with their own agenda to our future partnership. I want to speak with Shawn in particular, he has the drive and passion to help the native american community, but doesn't know where to start. If he goes through this with me, he will not only gain money to help him with his cause and belief, but he'll be able to hire more people for his team that follow the same cause as him. They gain funds for their community project, i gain money from them to continue my political career and we form a coalition on helping each other unite others! The same practice will go to the others that I feel have a political or strong belief that could make a difference with the community.
