bachelor's in business management. Last may and then this past
stir in the fall of twenty twenty,
I tried grad school out and pursued an mba
I just found that it wasn't for me, so I dropped out so currently, I'm looking for a full time

It is time- and I love how outmoded I know you ve talked to us Alex. Can,
a correct! Yes! Yes! I love it
this on learning all the skills and eventual
applying all them into a,
this idea or a great coming to work or even investment opportunities, so
curly have any specific passion.
Follow or my own business idea to start. So I'm trying to go about my career building. My skill sets so starting out,
would be a good way to start off will be going in the sales and for the past few months
I been applying to job most teams reaching out to companies and employees, especially with linked in. I seem can't find
If he no job anywhere and no one's willing to hire me. So I'm not sure if I'm going about it the wrong way or I'm not really sure where to start to learn to get help with any piece of advice. Yeah. Absolutely so, let's dig into what you said:
have a hard time finding a job.
Didn't you said I can get peep
all to hire me. So are you getting job interviews a few
and if you make it past the first or you may get a pass, the first one or you just kind of doing the introductory, and you never hear anything, and I
so we had to lined up another basic entry level. Sales job mecca
All of them were not really and even
to me
We have one interview and then
The one interview had
to one interview and then I hear back from after that are well so so, let's, let's go.
Different strategy. So right now,
You know that sales you bit even paid attention Alex and that I think he's right on this and we did a deep dive interview conceded the can com and show you to channel.
The reason that sales is a good place for someone who's, not quite sure what the long term looks like while they're getting clear, I'm gonna give you some resources to actually help. You today are right. That's come in just a minute,
but why sales is absolutely good path, for you are you're. Trying to figure things out. Is
It's a wonderful experience. You
you can win in sales.
You could win in market
If you go wooden sales, you go winning leadership
If you go in and sales you go in and customer service, if you can win in sales otis of it, you can win
because a sales at its core
fundamental application? Assails person is problem solving
with a serving spirit like a girl.
salesperson is solved
the problem through the the
product or service.
and they're doing in a way that is really service focused
You can take that all the way up the ladder man to ceo entrepreneur. It's a lie,
If a wonderful thing, so I
What's goin on here is you need to be more urgent and you need to be less picky, so that's
formula for you? I'm gonna give you some tactical vague, but I think there is
a philosophy for you right now, my head, my in other words your minds it needs to be. I need to be very urgent.
And I need to be less picky because
not limited to the first sales job, I'm not limited or the second sales yup. I want to get in and start getting some sales experience to start making money true or false. True absolutely so,
There is a principle that that I create
after georgia talking idle. No couple, thou
and phone calls when we
the king college of years ago, and I came up with it
proximity principle of trying to come up with a way for people hundred it. How do I get connected to?
actually get the job. I want that
your call it about in the
principal says this. In order to do what I want to do, sales I've gotta get,
our people that are doing it. Salespeople sales managers.
And I gotta get in places words it's happening. I you start getting getting
maybe I'm online forums- maybe I'm gonna conferences on sales, like always think about our own people that are successful and sales
and I'm reading about sales, I'm I'm I'm thinking.
companies that have sales positions are open and one who right over there on any get over there because years.
Happens with the proximity principle
break it down with this- the right people, plus-
I place as equals opportunity its
you're calling me right now- and you said I
have any opportunities, and that's not the case.
You are in the right places. You aren't around the right people because of euro awry people in their places. Here's what's gonna happen
particular come you why you know.
rotation, somebody's someone's, could go. You're sharp your guy, the most cell outreach out a cell come work for me.
Read nor pause. I hit you with a lot
but is what I'm saying? Is it hit new right between the eyes you write absolutely so you get busy will unite what now for income.
I'm just working part time jobs right now on the side. I do so
Looking for a couple local,
companies in the area is due social media marketing yoga.
if I were to pull up job sales, jobs and tamper floor, you right now what I see
kiki well
ah
lot of insurance jobs. You could do so don't do that
popped up to me. He related against light years.
Here's the challenge for you, Jake you're, work in a cup.
Part time jobs right now, so the bars low
its rays, the bar by just going to get the sale shop go down and get us carts sell a car tomorrow go get a job.
go start selling something
bringing it more income. Then we
are in what we're doing uses were moving forward
creating some forward motion a moving forward.
in. I actually liked george him getting a sales job that he's not wild about, because it's going to spur him on to go, get another sales job that he doesn't like and get some experience too.
Sperience you're, not gonna, be the greater salesman day one yet so here's
for you jake, I'm gonna give you two resources. One is there,
it clear career assessment,
twenty minute assessment and
It's gonna give you so much clarity on what you do best, what you love to do and results that motivates you spit out. A purpose statement gives you a high level job description,
And then I want you to read the book from paycheck. The purpose of the assessment is a compass. The book is the guide to climb the mountain, hang on the line, we'll get you that and that's gonna give you tremendous clarity, which will then give you confidence to actually step out and move forward. The young man, the best, is yet to be get after it towards Caille. Can you comin are here with you? This is the real issue.

The back to the ramsey show I'm kim coleman joined by george Campbell. The phone number to Japan is triple eight, eight to five five, two, two five triple eight eight, two, five, five, two to five we're going to stay right here in our backyard national tennessee
dwayne is they're, doin, ok, we'll, yes, sir! I ever
a hundred thousand dollar term for twenty.
Here's gotta nineteen years left, I'm coming up off another one. It's like this
the ones that it, but because I'm just coming the
First one I'm wondering maybe I should get a whole life and I'm listen.
What you and I think some armani was a whole life- is bad, but every time
not to be.
To mass and these other barracks.
Hence we need not it's a solid, you won't lose money, and so I want to call directly and find out
What am I losing when I start talking to them that it seems like I'm, I'm pretty firm on what I'm listening to what you guys are saying. Is there something I'm missing in translation while Dwayne here's a simple way to think about it? What
they stand to gain by
swaying you to get whole life his term, I from them on short and got it.
financial gain. There we go.
The commission's on whole life are astronomical,
There is a good reason. Your term life
see costs about five percent of the cost.
of an equivalent whole life policy, and so on.
Paying you know, fifteen twenty thirty bucks a month for that term policy versus six hundred.
well there's a lot more wiggle room for them to steal your commissions under the guise of well you're, going to build this cash value policy and you're going to invested over a long period of time, you're going to make so much money, dwayne, don't invest the market, invest
with me in this insurance policy
what they're doing there he yeah, but
It does sound like again
When I'm talking to him, I get overwhelmed the numbers and everything I wanna get done. They say he looks
you put this money in which to me.
A huge amount of money per month. It is that you could be
Investing yourself into.
much more solid investments that have a much better track record.
What they do, but here's I'm guessing years what they did. They did some rough fancy math that was real, complicated to wear them
dwayne. You just got to trust me man. This is this network.
Yeah I know I have a little about it. Just throw this little kid all the money you
We started the call by saying that you agreed with us on whole life. You ve you listen to this and you have an opinion on this yourself, true or false.
Yes, when I listen, I should hate. It sounds right because itself,
crazy, the money they're asking for rights so that afford that. I also stop
so remember why you feel that way that we,
made a case
in convince you. You convinced you.
And so you walk away gone. That's not crazy to put all that money in their desire to use it
you remember that
you trust yourself. You trust your common sense. You trust that opinion,
You came to before you ever walked into talk with these guys. Typically,
We I do what I know. So, no, no not! But what have you sit down and somebody makes a really compelling case and they ve got this thing down. Pat then
Their say and makes sense to, but then you get it done makes sense, but now there make selling makes it you just gotta, say I'd building,
make sense,
I know it is a big sets hears why they it's crazy and move on one may this year
after two that after twenty years, what's gonna be the cost
Other term unjustly dwayne here all knows how europe can tell you that. So the idea is that now you, if you don't, have insurance for your whole life, the idea
is that you follow the ramsay plan. You pass your house
fifteen years? If you do our plan with a fifteen year fixed rate mortgage and twenty years later, you gotta huge pile of money in your investment accounts and then
come on. We call self insured where you don't need that money anymore, because you have more than that in your investment account and you
if someone relies on your income like a spouse,
in georgia last week just break that down the money that you would invested whole life and the return on that versus the money you would put in the four one k the stock program. I mean that's because a mutual fund program based on the growth
the whole nine yards that we eat up,
return on. That is big time, different break it down cook s. So if you take the difference from that whole life premium with your term premium, take the difference that you would have paid and you
that onto our investment calculator, ramsay solutions, dot com,
so you get an average return, even eight to ten percent over thirty years, see
that would turn into by doing it on your own? You don't need them, because all they're doing is taken most of that and commissions for the first bunch a year.
and eventually maybe you'll, get a crappy return. So
void this at all costs and run. Why even talk to these people?
Talk to our friends is Andrew they're, not gonna, sell you this whole life crap and stop,
and entertaining these fools, though, it's
good advice tell me riled up. Well, I love boy. Oh boy, love in your life that that's what gets me riled up ken, but it's fine well as you're doing gives me
Gives you doing you I like seeing you with the Jews j is on the line and our nations capital, washington, d c j? How coil
away today we're having a blast J. What's up my what's,
in terms of paying their my card debt.
and paying less interest on my car loan and then I'm collecting in the bank of a mutual fund. So why would I pull out twenty five grand or so pay down on? I could swear it accrued the differential you're. A genius
So here's an idea why we go borrow as much money as we can to funnel into investments. If that's the case, if the walk rate yak or site, would you do it
tell me why I shouldn't have you seen the stock market J? Am I the only one googling around here, though I didn't say that I said the few who have walked rates. I have locked rates on my car loan emi mutual fund. What's your mutual fund, making three nine
ok, so my money market, my my high
savings account makes more than that.
As guaranteed for how long.
at the check that get squishing measure what if it goes down,
three percent two percent, so that I could pay it off,
Well, here's another question: how much is your car payment monthly yeah worried?
wouldn't make more sense to free up four hundred and eighty dollars to them
final into those investments.
And also for represent we're going to sell us whatever for
putting already into an index vondra mutual fund on air.
Gino! Over the next thirty years, with long term thinking, you could be making eight to ten percent a great
And so I rather giving them money away that twenty
and, let's say, it'll pay off my car,
so I got a giveaway today or give away over the next three years,
but one way or another twenty grand has to the car payments. I
What if you went back in time, would you go into debt again for the car
I don't know why you're defending the lenders here go, and while these guys are my friends because they gave me a low interest, you know,
but I will do ass, you do too I'm trying. I wasn't your pay cholera gold at it with a
I'm trying to get away. I should do in my twenty grand. I can't convince you that a debt free lifestyle is going to give you a better life.
guy, why you use your nightly with you know what you got the wrong narrative you
We can come to this in your head and, if you're here to debate us, we're now
gonna. Do I know you're, not a member, but listen rather, I'm did. But
keep coming back to that it
I think you got the wrong narrative, the narrative,
why should I give away twenty thousand the
questions you ask yourself is: why did I borrow twenty thousand dollars for a car that I couldn't afford? You put
I know you're you're narrative is. It is wise to leverage that, in order for me to build wealth- and I affair
that debt is now
a friend of mine it doesn't help me build wealth. Its steel from my paycheck steals from my joy. It robs may have so much, and so
for years the.
Think about it. What if every
all are coming into my house. I could use for whatever I wanted
could invest that money and get more than
four percent return long term. What if I could have been,
cash for a car that allowed me to do that. So what's your income.
One! Eighty!
you're making a hundred. Eighty thousand dollars do and yet a moral borrowing for a core. Why
in the first place, making that credible than income. But here you
I'm wondering did your crushing and you could really build some amazing wealth. Are you a net worth millionaire yet
My question is on your the heck. Not you make a hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
And we wonder what we're doing with we're trial was I'll. Tell you why, because he's been in four hundred eighty dollars a month as one example towards
appreciating asset now
sound financial decision making our we're knocking on you return
You see what the real narrative ought to be. In your mind, why am I
spending foreign and eighty dollars a month for a car,
try, this pay off the car you can produce today. I imagine you have the money and live a debt,
why, for a year- and if you hate it, if you absolutely hate where you are, you can always go get alone, they'll be happy to give it to you or eighty per cent interest rate. Oh they love you. You could always go get more debt. I liked Allen. George was a fun when we had some fun there, hopefully jade and take it to personnel were really were for you. This is the ramsey show the welcome back to the ramsey show. America were thrilled that you are here. This is where america exiled to have a conversation about your life, specifically your money, your work and your relationships. All of those are tied together. If you want to live a life. Well, I'm ken coleman joined by george Campbell, the phone number. If you want to jump in his triple eight eight, two, five, five
two to five triple eight, eight to five five, two to five
if you go or who are you, I hate it when you doing
I'm one of their ramsay personalities and focus on work spoke
but they all want you doing work that you are good at that. You love that matters to you. That is
purposeful work, let me tell you what happens you make great
income in greater impact- I that's what I do:
support of rabies solutions- and I hope
in committee. We covered a story earlier today and james approaches at this. This is interesting.
So this comes out of the news, but george, it's not
just a new story, its act.
We a pervasive problem,
and the story. The news right now affects us where the hottest stories right now comes from the political world. This guy
name? George santos have you heard of this guy I'll yeah, so using nine alleges that they know georgia's, while sees a newly elected congress and from new york? If you don't know what I'm talking about and I
taken a lotta heat from the media.
Rightfully so because it's come
It almost feels like every day. The dude has just lied and lied and lied and lied to cover those eyes about his reza may his background. We just lie to everybody and boy, you know
pressure on this guy to resign and
it's a little bit ironic that people are now shocked that a politician lied. The first time in history. A politician has lied, guess so this is big news, so everybody's trying to grasp that deal and and and and
but you what there's a deep
were thing here, and there is a temptation for all of us to do.
what george santos has done.
Break it down a second, but I wanted george, you put up at least give us. If you would just a couple of the fantastical lies that this
this congressmen has journals has laid out for everybody lied about where you went to school, lied about where he worked, lied about owning a number of runnel properties, lied about being robbed of his rent. Money lied about his criminal status in Brazil. Lied to donors, lied about his athletic accomplishments, lied
The timing of his mother's death lied about us.
campaign finances and this one might be done the funny,
one. He lied about being jewish and then he came.
can said. None are now. I said I was jus issue
is which is even worse than the lie
now borderline comedic.
Well my gosh, I mean so. This is a guy who's, pathological low, that's the right now lisa!
The logical ire now
What are we bring this up in
work contacts. For a moment. Those of you who feel a sense of
out. Maybe you are dealing,
imposture syndrome and we took
from a young man or lose our trying to get a job and when
we face. Doubt george, it it it
I'm sorry to be deceitful, grisly
if I'm not good enough
I've gotta make up
A story that makes me good enough: that's the slippery slope!
and that's what he did, what he took fake it till you make it to a very dangerous lao here. Man, I mean it's a label so doubt leads to this
when we don't manage our doubt,
think I'm good enough. I don't think
get the job. I don't think you'll like me. I don't think she ll marry me. I mean this thing spirals out of control and its.
Deceit. Wine like this and in this is unbelievable folks, listen whose data
This is. This is right here, in my hand, CNBC article
eighty five percent of americans-
admit to lying on their resume? At least once fifty five residual,
this. According to a recent survey from state elsie and now gets worse,
by the way before I tell you this data. If anybody
out there once to really know what
The people are really like you to know what the
the world really like you to know the true human condition go
Google searches, that's
ultimate indicator of who
We are as humans case in point.
The number of Google searches about how to fake a recipe is up
searches for had a faker as ways of forty eight percent. George
what do people line about here? Real quick, the top eight reasons
or what they are lying about on their residence. Fifty five
of people lie about their previous work experience. Well, that's.
because we know no one's gonna- check your references.
I got anxiety. Thinking about distort how do you keep up with audacity that you could even pull this off is impressive. Here's another one. This is my personal favorite because of the humility scares me
the opportunity humiliate yourself, forty three,
that people
Two line about their skills: ire,
I can operate heavy machinery or even worse, will on Monday morning, can you ve done this one? I know excel
the dangerous one year, but no heavy machinery. What are you doing, man that one could
life, all literally a life altering forty
percent lie about their college degree. Thirty, nine percent lie about personal details such as age, location or name.
Thirty nine percent live out. Highschool, hey can, I said everybody free whose tempted to live out highschool. No
who cares what you did in high school? No one,
not even your mom or dead:
cause. They forgotten
three percent lie about salary.
Thirty three percent lie about jobs, pacific software or equipment skills and then finally, twenty one percent- and this is so moronic- I don't even know how to process it. Twenty one
set of people lie on the resume about
player references
guess, they're, making that up? Hey George, will you do me a solid I'm, putting you down as a reference, so I give him ken's number and I go yeah. He was my previous manager give them a call, he'd be happy to talk to you and I slip you a twenty dollar bill and say: hey can if they call make me look good.
I feel like. I need a shower,
dirty, I feel, are so. The solution here can obviously to have integrity which, if I'm hiring someone I want to hire someone with integrity. How do we
get over this hump, yet so back
the reason I always like to try to give you a deep source behind. Why we do you- and I think doubt is what leads us to deceit. So then, if we,
we need to manage doubt better. What do we do so
doubt is the way where defied dealt georgia's it. I don't believe that
the good kanab. That's doubt
I don't believe that something good. This thing that I long for this thing that I want to do it. It can't have
I doubt that it can happen for a variety of reasons. It is
you have to do. There's you gotta, go, don't wanna get short cut this doubt. I can't take my
now in myself and introduce short cut it by line everybody else? No I've got it.
Step into me and go. What is the voice of doubt? Telling me I'm too old? Is that true
I must say in all mama got nothing offer finer the workforce is that true? Is there
evidence that that the doubt is telling
the truth because if doubt,
telling you the truth is protecting giving silly example. Georgia
basketball team for basketball goal in the lobby?
I tell all these five people watching hey, I can dunk. Have you ever seen me dunk before watch this, I'm gonna dunk and more
before I go to dump the ball, I have some serious doubt as I haven't stretched
to be honest, I've, never dunked, basketball and
What's going on dunno, we can do this. Doubts protect me from certain humiliation. Silly exists
well, but you get the poor I lower the hook for you can just for the record. Thank you, but even then
the question mark all right,
If doubted saying I can't ever start a business, I can't pay off debt. I can't get through the baby's. If I can
earning money. That's holding you back! That's the idea!
so, instead of lying and trying to shortcut, which is what people do here to get the job.
you gotta go. What am I downing? Why am I doubting? Is there any evidence to support that and then, when we get clear that hey, I actually can do this if I go get qualified. If I go,
some connections
all of a sudden, we're not having lie in here's. The big take away
the reason we bring this up is because you can do severe damage to your ability to earn money. If you get
Like this I mean
because of your line on a resume, your lie on the job and in that field
and if I'm the hiring manager I'd. Rather, you come to me and say: hey listen! I know you acquire this much experience, here's what I'm bringing to the table! I know I'm not quite there, but here's what I'm doing to get there I'm impressed.
You're ready to hire this guy right versus someone lying to my face, yeah yeah that good might be better. George santos, I'm trying to represent george's out here. You know form and lopez, costanza Washington, I like to put respect on our nato. The problem is the guy he's holding on for dear life, he's lied so much. He doesn't even know how to unravel or admit any of. I don't even know if his name's george anymore, why we should look into that. But I know your name is george. I know my name is kid, and I know that this is the ribs. You should not ally the
