Emotionally Unavailable… Stories
I’m a writer. Perhaps I have always been a writer, but during the decades that I didn’t write, or at least not often I thought of myself as more of a storyteller. The concept of being emotionally unavailable is part of a much bigger story that is crucial to the telling of stories, I believe.
When I left the world of classroom teaching as my full-time career and real estate — I worked as a listing and sales broker, as well as a residential appraiser on a part-time basis — I realized the value of storytelling in everyone’s life.
In 2006 I came online as an entrepreneur, marketer, speaker, and author (there is a difference between writing and authorship) and used the stories of my life as my entrée into a world I knew little about and was becoming more fascinated with each day.
My first internet marketing conference was one I attended in November of 2007 in Atlanta. That event cost me over $1600, including $500 for the conference ticket, about $75 for the shuttle to and from the airport, another $400 for the airfare, more than $500 for three nights in the hotel (even though I shared a room with a lady I knew online and had never met in person), and about a hundred dollars for incidentals during those three days. Food was included at lunch and dinner (this was Armand Morin’s “Big Seminar“) and it was all I could do to make this trip happen…
