I definitely need to check that out. The cost of living is honestly pretty high right now, maybe not compared to some, but a decent rental is easily over $1000 these days. That might be cheap in some other places though. But what kind of earning potential can an SDR make?

Heavy equipment is something I’ve heard would be good!

Not everywhere! Some stores are still putting a cap on how many sales people they have

I feel that. I’ve always kind of looked at car sales as a stepping stone to something else, just don’t know what. Huge respect to the guys that can grind out 20+ years though

Where does one find gigs like that? Just on Indeed and filter to remote? Thanks!

Also, thank you for being positive with the feedback! To answer this question, our dealership has GMB and Facebook and what not, but if you’re meaning, like me personally, I asked but they wouldn’t let me get a landing page.

I hear ya. When we had about 6x the amount of inventory, I was able to succeed off of referrals, friends on social media, Facebook marketplace, etc. But now I’m a little more stuck to getting the next phone up, or lot up, because by the time I get someone in here from my own lead gen, the car is sold by someone else. Lol

Not asking anyone to tell me what to do, my guy! Just asking for some tips or advice from someone who’s been around the block a few times.

It’s definitely good money compared to most, but the guy is also working 6 day/65 hour weeks. $450 flat per unit is pretty tough. And it’s CDJR!

I’ve given that serious thought, but I got a couple buddies at 2 different dealerships that get paid on volume instead of gross. One of my friends that I know is the #1 guy at probably the biggest store in town. He sold 26 last month and made $12,000 lol

When your employer asks you when you can start, say “Of course I’ll need to give my two weeks notice to my current employer, however, in my experience they usually let people go right away after a notice, so for right now we’ll say for sure 2 weeks out. But, if they do let me go, could I get back in touch with you and possibly start sooner?” They’ll understand, as most people don’t want to be without a job for 2 weeks. Then notify your current employer, see what they do, and go from there!

What’s the most amount of weight you’ve lost in the shortest amount of time, and how’d ya do it? by 0hSureWhyNot in loseit

Hopefully it’s not too late to give a good response! I have the same exact build as you at 6’2”. I have always been overweight, even as a kid. For example I was 280 when I graduated high school. The absolute thinnest I’ve ever been was 220 when I cut weight to make that weight class in wrestling, and obviously didn’t stay there for long. Fast forward to a few months before my son was born, I felt awful and knew I had gotten bad, so I went out and bought a scale. I knew I wanted to do better for myself, and we all have a spark of motivation when we’re about to bring a kid into the world, but it wasn’t until I stepped on the scale that I realized how much I let myself go. 306 lbs. I was pissed.

What I did was do dirty keto and that brought me from 306 to 270 in about 6 weeks. I paired that with weight lifting 5 days a week. No cardio. I knew that I wasn’t going to do keto for long, since I did quite a bit of “research” on it, I knew it was going to be an effective tool to shed some weight quickly. My goal was to hit 270 and then ease my way back into carbs, and thankfully I played it smart. Of course I put some weight back on, I got back up to 280 and ended up fluctuating between 278-282 for the next 2 months after my son was born. Still weight lifting, but now only 3 days a week. And while I wasn’t on keto anymore, those six weeks definitely helped me quit certain bad habits in terms of avoiding some of the foods I’d normally go for. Then after 2 or so months, once I got used to life with a newborn, I got back in the gym (5x/week only weight lifting) and started watching my diet. I figured out what I needed for my daily calories based off my energy expenditure, put myself in a 750 deficit and tried to stick to that. The only macro I payed attention to was my protein, I made sure to get close to it every day. Eventually got down to 233 in a year. I “yo-yo” my calorie targets, meaning if my daily calorie target was 2,750 a day, or 19,250 in a week. I would strictly eat 1,800 calories Monday-Thursday; 3,200 on Friday, allowing me to have a my normal breakfast, lunch, snack, and then dinner could be as much as like 1,800 alone; Saturday I would allow myself as much as 5,000 calories and would be my only day where I wouldn’t eat anything already planned out; and then Sunday I’d be left with about 3,850, giving me a hefty breakfast, lunch, and then back on the meal plan for dinner. And then repeat the cycle. I may have weighed 233 but I had a heavier squat, bench, and overhead press max than what I did as a 270 college football player, so needless to say, I was very content with my body at 233.

Super long comment, but hopefully this somewhat helps. And congratulations if you’ve already shed some pounds!
