Hey guys, Nick here.
Normally, this is something I wouldn’t do.
Ever since my wife and I went out on our own, I was always able to take care of her and our kids.
Things were stable; I was able to pay bills or fall behind a little bit to pay the rent.I took on a new career opportunity in the solar industry at a great base pay that would slowly put my family and me ahead.I thought I finally hit the jackpot and found a career that I saw myself in for the long term.
Recently, an opportunity was presented to me in the form of intense training to improve my skills and become extremely successful in the solar industry.
The sacrifice I would have to make in order to be successful seemed like a small price to pay.
Two weeks of training selling fiber optics in Texas and an opportunity to make more money than I have ever made in my life.As soon as I got off of the plane, that is where the nightmare started.
Without any details, I found out it was commission-only selling fiber optics in a bottom-of-the-barrel market.This meant that if I didn't perform, I wouldn't get paid.First week, I did okay and made a little more than I would expect.
The second week was starting, and sales weren’t happening. I wasn’t panicking too much because I had one solar install in the pipeline, and I had 5 installations from the fiber optic gig.
As the week ended, I got a sick feeling in my stomach.
I came home with absolutely no money from my solar install, no money from my fiber optic installs, behind on last month's and this month's rent, and, to top it all off, no job whatsoever.
I am scraping by as it is, with so much debt stacked up and an extremely poor credit score. I no longer qualify to get an emergency loan.
I officially don’t have money to pay December's rent and January's rent. I am still scraping money together to avoid eviction.
I have sold most of the things I own to take care of my wife and my two daughters.
With nothing left to sell, I am turning to the help of my friends, family, and whoever is able to help.
If you are able to help me and my family out, I will be eternally grateful.Every little bit helps out tremendously.
Thank you.
