wooden stories series II

I am posting second in the series of the paid story that I did for a client of mine about 2 years ago. The client was into wood work projects and supplies. The story goes as below:


I am a single working woman working for a bank. 

It happens to be my new job and a new home in a new town. 

Among the many new things that I have gained in my new life, a new gained confidence is also there. Today, within a month of settling into a new place, I know that I am ready for any challenges that lie ahead. 

The reason for this is mastering one of the things that I never knew I could. It is the woodworking by  tedswoodworking.com

I have a busy and engaging life working as an analyst with my bank. My job requires me to meet and interact with a lot of people everyday. A lot of people among them happen to be my well-paying clients. Apart from giving them my valuable strategies; I am also expected to look presentable at all times. 

I was excelling in my job, but still I was not able to convert profitable sales from my clients. After some amount of soul-searching, I was able to pin-point the lack of a smart and presentable attire of mine. My inability to iron my dresses was the reason for my poor performance at work. I was ironing my dresses on my study table, since I did not have an ironing board in my new home. 

Adding to despair was my lack of time to go out and buy a sturdy ironing board. Luckily, I saw the advertisement for woodworking guide for the handyman on the internet. After browsing through the numerous woodworking plans and projects listed on the site, my eyes got stuck to the plan teaching the basics of designing a sturdy ironing board for a layman. The well laid diagrams were an added lure. And that was it, I ordered the tutorial and on a banking holiday I was converted into a woodworking master; who created a fantastic ironing board for her everyday use.

Today I am proud to state that I not only excel in creating profitable sales from my clients as a financial strategist, but also as a mastered woodworking specialist.
