Business and Meatballs

Sign Up For My Blog(below) which is usually real estate/finance articles. But today-----a funny.

 

Adam Sandler portrayed a character in the movie, “The Wedding Singer” who provides singing lessons to supplement his low pay as a wedding singer. The only problem? His main, actually, only Client, liked to pay him in meatballs. Sandler’s character, hilarious as it is, serves a cautionary to us all (author included).

 

In the pursuit of business, deals, leads, I have spoken to other sales professionals who bemoan the infinite stream of meetings, coffees, or business lunches that are the professional version of Sandler’s ‘meatball monetary system’.  Of course, there is nothing wrong with being paid in meatballs, IF you really like meatballs. Remember-meatballs won’t pay the rent, or cover the car payment.

 

Just a reminder, to myself as much as anyone, be wary of being a business psychologist.  Evaluate projects that absorb a lot of your time and expertise, particularly if there is no reciprocation from the other party.  And---if you are going to get paid in meatballs, make sure they are the best darn meatballs on the planet.
