It's easier to sell things you have

An epiphany, that is rather stupid, but true, it's it's easier to sell things that you have.  I had a few items that we hadn't normally stocked I started carrying because I had enough requests for them.  It's interesting because we sell them since we stock them.  When we special ordered them often times they would go bad or never get picked up and have to sent back.  If we have the item WHEN the patient wants it, they will buy it.  This all goes to say that you need to have what you're selling in life.  If you sell yourself as a good successful person no one wants to wait for you to stop being a douche and become one.  That is in essence what I did previously in my life.  I was a good person and on the right track but rapidly losing my way, when I became friend with the woman I love, and sold myself as what I had been, and what I now have become, but at that time what I was not.  She didn't want to wait for a special order man she wanted a real legit man that was a good successful man at that time, not in 3 years.  Well three years later, here I am, sorry as hell.
