I am Paul Singh

I just this one and it really did help to make me a bit happier.

Rid yourself of a nagging task: answer a difficult email, purchase something you need, or call to make that dentist’s appointment. Crossing an irksome chore off your to-do list will give you a big rush of energy and cheer, and you’ll be surprised that you procrastinated for so long.

Things have been busy lately but the one common job that I’ve always (and will always) have is sales. At some point in my life it was selling cars, selling pizza, selling electronics — but regardless of where I’ve worked, I’ve always had to sell myself to someone.

First of all, get your mind out of the gutter — Paul Singh ain’t no male gigalo (but I’d probably be good at that if the situation ever arose).

Let’s face it — when you want a job and ask for a $103478546173570.99 salary, you’ve got to convince the other guy why you’re worth that much. (Unless, of course, you just want to be laughed at and brushed off — but I’m sure that’s not the case since you’re a badass reading this blog.) So, how do you do that?

Magic word = because

So, let’s go back to the previous example:

You(Badass): Yes, Mr. Boss, I’d like a $103478546173570.99 salary per day…

Boss: Hmm. (Most likely with a slight look of bewilderment.)

You: …because I’ll be bringing to your company and thereby assisting you to further grow this biatch by 4872065% in the near term. I’m sure my resume and references can confirm my ability to do that.

Boss: Ok, you start tomorrow.

You: YAY!

Remember badass readers, the magic word is because.
