What can the stoics teach us about staying in sales? A lot. #sales #salestips #salestok

What happens if you never leave your sales job? Now, the still looks practice something called negative visualization. And this is basically imagining the worst outcome to clarify what you need today. So let's do it. What if you never leave sales? Year five, you're still here, same Sunday, scary, same pipeline anxiety, same forecasting call. You hit quarter most quarters, got promoted, maybe once or twice, make a bit more money, but nothing has fundamentally changed about your reality on the day-to-day. Told yourself one more year, four times. And here you are. Year 10. You're a senior rep now, maybe a manager, maybe a director, the stress is now worse, not better. You have direct reports who remind you of yourself five years ago. They're hungry, optimistic, ready to grind, ready to get after it. And you want to tell them it's not always cracked up to be get out while you can't, but you don't. Because then you'd have to admit that you should have left yourself 10 years ago. And they might actually do what you should have done and leave and put you in a hard spot. You're 20, now you're in your 40s. You've made good money over the years. But you don't actually own anything that's generating money for you while you sleep. Other than some investments that you're hoping will be enough to retire. We got no equity, no assets, and you don't own any businesses. It's a bigger bank account and a resume that says sales for the last 20 years. You look at anybody that's still at ranks you. You see stress written all over their face. You see the cortisol belly that you started to develop yourself. And you realize that's the ceiling. That's where the road ends. Now I'll come back to today. How does that future feel? Can you see that you are literally headed to exactly that? To a least car and a job that means that you cannot spend time with your own son or daughter because you don't have the capacity for it after work. Or you're traveling so much that you can't even be at their baseball games. That's not a nightmare scenario, bro. That is literally the default path, and that is the path that you are walking. And this is what I realized 10 years ago. I was like, I don't want that. Negative visualization isn't about fear. It's about actual clarity. When you see the path, clearly the decision becomes obvious. Day 30 more years of quarter resets, Sunday scaries, a life that you're really not going to enjoy with a great bank account that you don't have the time to do anything with. Leave scary for six months, building something for yourself, but only something that compounds. Which ones do you actually want? The Stoics didn't visualize to paralyze themselves. They did it to move. Try to stop imagining and start building, drop a file, drop freaking for sales reps every single day to help you guys see a path outside of the default path and sales. If you want to follow, step by step, exactly what I did to go from a six figure sales rep to a seven figure CEO that was able to quit his job in six months after starting this company, check out the free training of the top of my profile. Much love, guys.
