The Value Of Time and How Much People Disrespect It.

Posted: 15 Sep 2015 09:41 AM PDT

My BIGGEST pet peeve is how much people disrespect their time on this planet.

Time is the most valuable commodity you have.  You can’t get more of it and its running down until you die.

One example is the bullshit extended warrantees on products you buy at the store.  When I worked at sears 20 years ago I sold the shit out of them and you got a big commission on them.  Next time you buy a washer and dryer as the person what kind of rip they get on selling them.  We called it the “cheese” cause you would make more off an extended warrantees than the commission on a 2k set of appliances.

I good at selling them they called me the “Cheese Man” and had me train others on how to do it.

But I digress.

Ever get an extended warranty on your phone?  Good luck using that one.  First of all they charge you a deductible if you ever actually need to use it.  Its usually about 20% of the phone price.  Then you have to wait to get a new phone.  and they don’t give you a new phone you get a refurbished one.  My wife went through this once and she went through 2 refurbished ones before she got one that was fine.

The fact is although they sell extended warranties like they are doing you a favor its really bullshit.  Companies BANK off of these.  You think these companies are in business to lose money?

Ever try to use them?  Good luck.  Spend an hour on the phone with someone who tries to tell you its not covered and then wait weeks for them to actually fix it.   Fuck that.  I will just go buy a new one.

Last week we officially formed the ShoeMoney Network into its own company.  Their was issues getting a federal tax id number and we had to call in to the IRS.  So we sat on hold for 4 FUCKING hours only to find out they could not help us and we had to relax in the paper work again even though this was the number listed if we had problems.

Their went half the work day completely wasted.  Do I get compensated for that?

I could go into countless examples.  Airport cancel your flight?  Oh don’t worry they will give you a $20 voucher.  Mean while it was the last flight out and I had to spend the night in a hotel (they did cover that).

Their goes most of a work day,  time with my kids,  or other things that wasted a percentage of my life.

Anyway it just pisses me off how little companies care about wasting your time.  And the consumer doesn’t give a shit.   Companies can give you refunds all they want but is it worth your time?  Do they compensate you for your time?

Think about it.

I’m Back Bitches

My blog has been “ok” with posts but I will just be straight forward with you tell you that most of them have been written by a ghost writing service.  Except for the good ones on here like It All Goes Back in the Box which was published in Affiliate Summits Feed Front Magazine.

I wasn’t happy with the blog for a while.  I didn’t like the way the site looked.  It had advertising all over the place and to be completely honest the revenue dropped.

First thing I did was reach out to advertisers and tell them once their agreement ran out and took off the advertising page.

Then I purchased the magazine theme from MyThemeShop which not only is the theme really awesome and packed with features but their support is outstanding because I had some small questions about css (CSS is my nemisis).  So I did it 100% myself and honestly I don’t care what other people think.  I am very happy with it and the responsiveness and mobile friendly stuff with it.

The only thing I do advertise is my ShoeMoney Network and that is all I will not take any more 3rd party advertising.

I also went away from my cardinal rule of post like nobody is reading and just be yourself.  If you want to say fuck then say fuck.

I am gonna have a lot of fun with it and probably start some shit storms but thats just me.

So for those who have stuck with the blog – Thanks.  For those that have been reading for the last year or so…  prepare yourself.  I will be back to writing a couple times a week some will be short and some more in-depth.
