I called my new client yesterday morning, the one who knew he knew me, but not from where. He met me for lunch, and I showed him my photo from five months ago. I told him I was sorry about not being up front about meeting him before, but that I thought he might not make the deal because of how I was at that time. He said he understood, and asked if I could tell him what made the difference in me.
I then began to share with him all I had been through with my hair loss, my job, my personal life, and all the changes that have come about because of Provillus.
I even told him about Justine, and how much my confidence level had changed enough to begin a relationship. Not only was he amazed at the changes in me, he asked me why I wanted to tell him all of this.
I told him about wanting to establish an honest business relationship with all of my clients, and that I felt I had been dishonest when I kept from him how he knew me. He nodded his head, held out his hand, and we shook hands.
He then told me that he was impressed with me. Not only because I am an honest business man, but because I was also his daughter’s boyfriend and had shown great Integrity.
I was floored! Justine’s father? I had never met her family, and Brown is such a common name that it never dawned on me that he could be related to her.
Embarrassed by my lack of knowledge, I am sure I must have turned red. He reassured me though, that he would keep our meeting to himself, until I felt comfortable telling her.
When I picked her up that night, Justine said that her father was in town on business, and did I want to meet him? I said yes, and then decided that I would tell her I met him for lunch and he was one of my clients, after the introductions. We met at a little restaurant on the edge of town, and when she introduced us, we shook hands, and I said “It’s nice to meet you again, sir.”
She looked shocked, and then her father and I laughed, and told her about our business meeting. She was delighted to know that we already liked each other, and that her father approved of me.
When I dropped her off at her place, I asked her to wait and talk a minute before going in. We sat in my car, and I told her that I think I am falling in love with her. She smiled a little, and said, “Me too; with you I mean.” Then I told her about my little cabin, and asked her if she would like to spend a day there with me in a couple of weeks. She said yes right away. I was surprised, I thought she might want to think about it.
“What’s to think about?” she asked me, “I love spending time with you, and now I know my father approves.”
Now, I can hardly wait for my vacation to begin. Thanks Provillus, you have given me the gift of self esteem and confidence to be honest.
