I May Have Just Found My Calling for When I Retire

I’ve been watching this nail-biter of a game between Villanova and UConn, and during one of the time-outs, a commercial came on that gave me an idea of how I can make some money when I retire.

Here is the commercial:

So I thought if Flo’s sister is willing to have Flo come to her house to talk insurance as a way to put her baby to sleep, then she would probably pay a premium to have someone come to her house to talk about accounting. It’s quicker, and would be essentially 100% foolproof.

I never knew such a job might exist.

But if I look back over my teaching career, it’s a role I’ve worked on and perfected for over 35 years.

And I’ve probably got thousands of references; just ask any of my former students.

Maybe that’s whom I should reach out to as a way to build my business…

  7. I still remember your video of when you went to sleep. You could charge a pay-per-view.

    I’m a big fan of most of these Progressive ads with Flo and Jaime and the rest of the crew.

    1. that video could be used as a promo – showing that it is so powerful that I can put myself to sleep while watching videos of myself.

      I also enjoy the Progressive ads.

  11. Hi Jim, My son asked me how he should start writing a blog post for a Uni assignment. The post is about climate change. I said that my blogging friend, Jim, writes about articles he reads and his format would be useful to consider. I found this post which was perfect for my purpose. I will up you and offer to read to babies about IFRS.

    1. that’s exciting about your son; if he starts writing a blog, please share his web site.

      and reading about IFRS would be tough to compete with; perhaps the market is big enough for the two of us 🙂
