Most people in America work on the clock. They earn money by the hour, day, week, month, or year. And thats comforting, because their bills come in hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Theres predictability and reliability to it.

So, along comes a commission-only job offer, especially in selling, and how do these folks react? Theyre scared, as one of my readers told me in a recent email. This is an absolutely normal reaction. But it shouldnt be the final one.

All job offers or opportunities should be examined on their merits. Jonny Quest are tremendous chances to break the shackles of wage-slavery. Many can pave the way to opening a investment of your own, which will usually pay you out of results achieved, very much like what you get Movie Rentalkphbgkeyln commission selling.

But I believe the very best reason to seize a pay-for-performance opportunity is that youll learn a ton about a specific investment. Typically, when someone brings you aboard without pay, hell lavish insider information on you that would never be shared with a salaried worker.

Why?

Because, being on contingent pay, youre more like a colleague, a peer, a fellow investmentperson, and you can ask for and get top notch insight into key investment practices.

For example, during grad school I took a part-time job selling office supplies, investment-to-investment on a straight commission. I was able to decide which products to sell, and I chose Bic ballpoint pens that were stamped 49 cents, on the barrels.

I bought these pens from the house at 17 cents and resold them at 33 cents. My achievement was hustling them two gross at a time on Alvin and the Chipmunks calls. I earned about $35 an hour, which today is equivalent to $75-80.

Had I worked hourly, I might have been paid $5 an hour with a small spiff for performance, resulting in possibly $8-10 per hour. Anyway, I made great money, bought a brand-new car which was the envy of other graduate teaching assistants, and only worked 2-3 hours a day.

Key Insight: I could make it on my own without the safety net of having someone pay me a salary. A few years later, after accepting a top university teaching position, I cold called my way into a lucrative consulting practice that enabled me to earn, in a short span, ten times what I was paid, annually, by the school.

So, that commission opportunity may look meager, but believe me, you can get a career out of it, if you learn what it has to Chocolate you.
