A new beginning

Yournamehere

so for all of my life I have been a laborer and blue collar guy. As some of you know I have some health issues that have got in the way of the work I am trained for. Finally my dr said I can work part time but I need low stress...well that really was not a option in the line of work I do. So I figured what do I know and what can I do? So I did some thinking and came up with fishing and Cigars. So the other day I sat down and talked with a high up in the b&m I go to regularly and asked if there were any hours I could have. He told me they were over staffed at the moment but he’d keep me in mind. Well to my surprise and delight I will be working in the cigar world and get paid for something I’m very passionate about. I’m very happy they are giving me a chance and really hope that I can possibly impact another newb to one day become a cigar geek. The future looks brighter now and hopefully everything will turn out for the best

I left the construction field ( Mechanic/operator/driver ) 8+ years ago and went into construction supply sales.....I love it.
My best advice is.... 
Treat everyone the same. I not care if their the owner of the company or the lowest labors.
Have a sense of humor.
With the people who you see come in often, take a little more time with them to find out a little bit about them and ask them about it the next time you see them. It could as simple as car problems, a sick family member, a mutual friend....People like to be remembered.

Congrats. Maybe you could look into a fishing guide / cigar guide combination service.  Take them out fishing and bring them back to the lodge for cigars and bourbon.

Had a sit down to go over everything they want me to do and well it sounds really good. I’m really suppose to help train the other employees about cigars and how to sell and describe them. They are starting me off on a good hourly wage which is much higher then expected. Plus the hours ain’t bad so I’m happy and I get to work with friends

That is absolutely outstanding...totally absolutely outstanding!!!!

How could you say something so hurtful, Bob? No wonder people are leaving the forum in droves. LOL
