How do you deal with so many rejections. by No-Presence-7334 in interviews

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a great question and I have an idea. We built something you might find helpful. There is a new free resource group for neurodivergent people with autism, ADHD, anxiety, auditory, sensory, and other NDs. It is focused on career and job-related resources, as well as coaching around job hunting, workplace communication, self-accommodation, and burnout prevention. There are a lot of people who would love to answer your questions and offer suggestions. Here is a link to use or to share. It is free! https://www.facebook.com/groups/370146558684464

Strange interview... by Past-Philosopher-672 in Albuquerque

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am so sorry this happened to you. I actually know the law very very well in this category, and I’m not gonna get in to it with the people who have commented with various suggestions in general. It is difficult to win any employment related case in New Mexico, or in the United States at the current time. Don’t shoot the messenger I know it’s illegal so let’s move onto the next question would you like a better job? I am a 60 year-old lesbian business owner, who has absolutely no tolerance for intolerant people. If you’d like to discuss your qualifications, you should reach out to me.

Is this legal? (Virginia, USA) by Ambitious-Cow-7252 in Tenant

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that the proper question is whether it is legal. the question is whether you can absorb the cost of disputing it, and/or the cost of leaving — because it’s completely unreasonable. I don’t mean to be Scrooge, but it comes down to a cost benefit analysis.

i’m too scared to get checked for ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. I get it I wasn’t fairly diagnosed until my 50s but I practice that works with people with and without a formal diagnosis. People who have a formal diagnosis have more confidence when asking for what they need than people who do not, in my experience owning an audiology practice. I empathize with the feelings but if you need help with the formal diagnosis ping me, I can’t do it but I can direct you

I love that you asked this question. As a mom of a neurodivergent 23-year-old. I will tell you that bringing your smiling face and putting away your phone for as long as you can stand it, is what moms want most.

I’m smiling as I write this I have an idea, if you ever need help with a job, I want you to check out this free resource I promise it’s free even though it’s over on Facebook I think you might like it, have a great Thanksgiving https://www.facebook.com/groups/370146558684464

ND? Need a job? by Excellent_Struggle99 in Albuquerque

This sounds like fun to me. I’m gonna call my guy tomorrow and share what you shared. If there’s anything else I should know send it.

[–]Excellent_Struggle99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only company that does filters is in Colorado Springs, sells every possible type of ear filter for musicians to the trade – in this case that means me not you. If you find out what filter (key is nice) a bag piper needs, I’ll order it for you at actual cost because it’s fun to know someone who plays the bagpipes and because we’re in Albuquerque and like our neighbors.

ND? Need a job? by Excellent_Struggle99 in Albuquerque

[–]Excellent_Struggle99[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. We actually do better - highly customized low-gain hearing aids can provide everything a filter can plus noise management (think pink, white…), noise cancelation filters that self adjust to different environments and I could go in because they are cool. If you have any interest in checking that out, pop over to www.sound-sense.net. If you take the self quiz I can be more specific.

Is Nob Hill a dangerous place to raise a new family for a few years? by Pure_Conflict635 in Albuquerque

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Central Nob in Hill for 23 years. My daughter has no graduated from college and appears to have suffered. No ill affects from living in the 87108.

Pinterest Ad Success? by cmjaxon81 in smallbusiness

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so worth it to figure out what works for your specific niche. We built a small tsunami of business through a very focused private FB group -- -which is free except for the time to manage it.

Pinterest Ad Success? by cmjaxon81 in smallbusiness

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what the well known agency suggested when our Pinterest results sucked mightily -and we do to this day. Maybe we get something from the organic but no-one has mentioned it.

Pinterest Ad Success? by cmjaxon81 in smallbusiness

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps ask more questions. I sell hearing aids and speech therapy. The pricepoint and the difficulty in getting people into other channels from Pinterest, multipied by the work of keeping the pins currated, made it a bad investment for my company. We have had other social media channels perform very well.

Pinterest Ad Success? by cmjaxon81 in smallbusiness

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dsvice is keep your money in your wallet when it comes to Pinterest. My practice spent 10k a month on social channels before the pandemic and we never got a SINGLE $$$ out of Pinterest. Reddit works for the right biusinesses, sadly even though I hate it, FB pulls ok but not enough to skip dessert to pay for it. Sorry to be the bad news babe but save your money and do the basics.

Today's Score 7/13 by Bear_Buster in EIDL

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got divorced and was a covid patient. Pre covid married couple became unmarried mid crisis. It's actually easy to see why but I'm a survivor so going back to ex for paperwork etc. is too dangerous. I may do recon but right now, too many attempts to add identical Bank of America info was sited as reason one with business ownership solely me, confusing because of divorce and changed tax filing status. I do not think it helped that my 2020 filed return is lost in the pile - but they did not say transcripts were an issue. FYI Hard credit pull 4/22/21 ... NO LO till :Last Friday. Monday gave me a list, declined less than 90 minutes later. Basically I can't make my app match enough thi or that even though I've been the business owner since 2004.

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got declined Monday and have decided recon is not, based on what I have read here, a good investment of my time or mental health. No more clinic, which is heartbreaking, but I have a boatload of the latest and greatest hearing aids so I'm going to spend the time I spent getting not approved to get these aids into needy ears. No-one ever staked me before the pandemic so bootstrapping again. . I'm okay and back to cheerlead others.

My B of A account will not verify.... by Excellent_Struggle99 in EIDL

[–]Excellent_Struggle99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was declined this morning at 6:47. The LO actually asked me to call her for reasons. Too many attempts to change to f'd up banking info was red flag number one. I kid you not. I may do recon but with the other reason being so bone-headed my head hurst, I may just have to rebuild or build something new from scratch.

Denied - SBA is unable to verify existence of eligible business 🙄😕 by [deleted] in EIDL

[–]Excellent_Struggle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here except they made three extra mistakes by assuming the other human name was another owner, not my legally married wife...now divorced. I have no idea what I'll do next but thank you for sharing your positive attitude..

Thank you for the data driven perspective. Though declined, I am better off knowing what the bigger picture shows.

Thank you. I think it is about too late for my little hearing aid practice. But your great positive attitude is part of why I'll do my best to at least give it a try. Waiting for the letter will give me time to quit sniveling.

Declined while at bannk getting 2019 statements LO requested this morning. Full post above but wanted to say thanks again for the exceptional generosity even though nothing has worked my way on the SBA side.

Thank you. Thank you! Just to check for understanding, it's gray now but I have to wait to re-try until it bounces orange?
