Hello, it's me, the M, the I, the K to the E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good sensations and vibrations. And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you from the subject of not interested. Not interested. Oftentimes there are people who see you You're an entrepreneur, You're a person who has their own business, who's doing something excellent, and you are trying to get other people to partake, invest in or just be involved in this process of what you're doing. And this is not necessarily just directed to entrepreneurs, and this is not necessarily just directed to entrepreneurs, but that's a very subject near and dear to my heart and what's happening. And there are people who see you and they say not interested. They look at all your products, look at you carrying your products, look at you taking the time to pick your products up, put them in a box or the carry and tote, and you even have everything all set up and as far as like your carrying materials and your tubs or crates or whatever you have, they look at you and say not interested. And there's nothing wrong with that, because saying not interested is the best way to not waste anybody's time. And there are even some who say not interested. In a rude way, they just say not interested, they yell it. Some of them just put their hand up and you're like they won't even let you talk, they'll put up a stop sign. But whether they say it nice or whether they say it mean, the bottom line is the fact that they are not interested. But then there are also other people who will let you run the whole gambit, knowing already that they're not going to buy anything. Of course, me being who I am, I'm going to draw some positivity, no matter what, because the positivity about it is that they're at least giving you practice. They don't realize it. But the bad part about it is that they're kind of, in a way, stealing time from somebody who's. There also are those people who are saying gee, I sure wish that I could find somebody who does whatever the thing is that you do. They're like OK, because I have high blood pressure, I have diabetes, blah, blah, blah. You have products that can regulate that. They are looking for you.
Speaker 1:But there were people that said not interested, which caused you to be deterred, and you said no. But there are people out there who are interested and they're going to do the same thing. They're going to invert it, because for almost everything, there's the inverse or inverted way of it. They're going to look at you You're going to get out your stuff, they're going to whip out their purse, they're going to whip out their wallet, they're going to start asking for cash apps and because what's going to happen? I'm going to say, oh, I know so-and-so, they have already done that and I want it. Or they're just like say less, because they already are looking for it, they might grab it. You'd be like hey, do you want my, my business card? I've had people do that pull up to me and they didn't want. They wanted, excuse me, what I was selling and they were like, no, they didn't want the business card. Do you think I was like, hey, man, give me my product back, give me my um. You know, give me that back, I'll give you your money back because you didn't take my card to follow up.
Speaker 1:No, they're going to be people that are going to, like I said, do the exact opposite of the bad thing, but they're going to do it a good way. They're going to be like okay, and they're already ready for you and some of them are going to even be looking at you, smiling with a big smile, like, oh, look at them. I know what they at them. I know they're trying to do. They're trying to do their presentation. This is amazing. I'm gonna let them run the whole presentation. Little do they know I'm already about to buy what they're selling and, like I said, you're the one who's been studying YouTube on sales and reading books and everything, and you have something that will change their life. And they are looking at you like, yep, but again, everybody has a right to pass, a right to not want something, and that's okay.
Speaker 1:But then there are also other people who are doing that. With your time, talent, your treasure. They will sit up there up under you listening to your conversation, doing everything, but knowing that they don't want to really be bothered with you, but all they want to do is just use you. Use your time, your talent, your treasure. You're a fabulous person. You're entertaining, you're great to talk to, you're just who you are. They will fill up theaters to pay for artists, comedians and people that do what you do and will pay them, but you're free and that's really not cool. That's where the not interested part really is about to get personal, because really they're not interested. But they're interested in getting something out, but not appreciating you and I'm going to say this on your behalf and you can say it if you want to as well.
Speaker 1:I've heard it said that we're looking for people that are serious, not curious, and we're doing that especially in the realm, when there are things such as relationships. There are people who will sit there accepting things from you. I'm not going to sit up here and say that you're some kind of victim, because you also have to be mindful of what you're doing for that person. So don't take it that way. But they will sit there. They're really saying not interested already in the on, in their subconscious, in their mind, but they're like but I am interested in getting that information, I am interested in getting compliments, cheap thrills and things like that, but they're really saying not interested. So if somebody gives you this weird answer, you know they're going to, but they may say not interested. They don't have the guts to say not interested.
Speaker 1:But I want you to understand there's somebody who's actually interested in what you're giving your time, your talent, your treasure, your jokes, your music, your and they're like uh, this is a definite yeah, let matter of fact, let me throw you a couple dollars a and they're gonna say, hey, well, uh, we're having a um party, a picnic or something. You got some of them jokes. You got some of them jokes. You got some of them songs. You're like, oh, because you're not, you weren't expecting it. There are people that are serious, not curious. You know how they say serious offers only. There are those people who are going to give you serious offers only.
Speaker 1:And for those people who are playing around with your time, talent and treasure, I want you to look at them when you see it, when you read it in their face, and I want you to say cut them off really quick. Listen to them saying yeah, but da-da-da-da-da, and I want you to say not interested. You have once again come into the land of my belief, a place that makes Emerald City look like a pile of green rocks, wonderland. Wonder why I was created in the first place and Never, never, land, wish that it never existed at all, and I encourage you to dream like you'll live forever. But please, pretty, please, live like you will die today. I quit Music, thank you, thank you.
