I SELL WATCHES

I remember I had to repeat this phrase over and over again when one client pulled out a chair for me to question me.
It was in 2015.

I had started hawking imported watch brands. From office to office. Car parks to car parks. When there was a traffic jam, I used the chance to approach cars.

That afternoon I went to sell watches to one lady. After her purchase, she pulled a chair for me and asked me to sit. Then the interrogation started.

Her: what do you do ?
Me : I sell watches
Her: yeah I know but professionally, what do you do ?
Me : I sell watches.
Her: no, I mean your full time job, like when you wake up everyday where do u go to work?
Me: I sell watches ( with a smile )
Her: “really, well I understand if u want to sell watches but you see, a nice young man like you, I think you should look for a proper job. You can even sell the watches on the side if u still want to but you can’t be doing this as a full time job”

I smiled. She meant well for me I knew.I knew what I was aiming for but she didn’t and thats normal.

What I was aiming for, may not even reach its full potential in my lifetime even with my 24/7 attention how much more doing it as a side gig? It was all or nothing for me.I had made a decision to BE REMEMBERED doing this till I die. When she spoke, I listened more and said less.

Long story short, a few months ago she met me and said I am an inspiration to her. I smiled.

Hello I am Anthony Dzamefe. I SELL WATCHES.
