There are many many more fulfilling ways to make a buck bro #sales #salestips #salestok

Every time that you defend your sales job, you're pursuing the goal of being right, not the goal of being actually free. I can say this is somebody that defended their sales job for years. I remember I used to defend it to people talking about how much money I was making, how great it was, all this stuff. And I say this is somebody who is a top-performing sales job. But now I've been an entrepreneur for the last 10 years, and in hindsight, I realized that it was very ego-driven. Recourse that I had with myself a lot of the time. Here's what I mean by that. Every time you defend your sales job to somebody, you're not defending the job, you're actually defending yourself. Because admitting that the job is really not that great, and you're really only there for the money, means that you might be wasting time by staying. Just think about it. You probably have been playing about your sales job at some point in the past, and maybe somebody said, "Hey, look, why don't you leave?" To that, you say things like, "The pay is good, I'm learning a lot, it's got good benefits, I'm almost at the next promotion, all these things that we say to ourselves." And by doing this, you're not actually defending the job at all, you're just defending your decision to stay. This becomes a trap, but here's what's happening psychologically. Admitting that the job and staying there is the wrong move for you means that you've been making the wrong decision for years. Your brain can't handle that, so instead you start finding reasons why staying is smart. Even if those reasons would actually bring you any happiness. This is called psychological consistency, and it's keeping you stuck. So you're not pursuing the goal of being free, you're pursuing the goal of being right. You're defending your identity as a salesperson. Being right means, "See, I made the right choice by staying because I have good benefits, I'm making a lot of money." I'm so lucky to have the sales job. Being free means that you say, "Hey, I've been here for the last three years, and I've been wasting my time, so I'm going to go ahead and leave." I'm going to start building something for myself that actually compounds. Most people, though, whether they admitted or not, would rather be right than free, because being right is easy, and being wrong hurts. I personally did this for a long time. I was at the top of forming sales rep, I was making a lot of money, but I actually realized after many years that I actually wasn't happy with what I was doing. I was happy with the money, but I wasn't happy with how I was getting the money, make sense. So I kept defending it, I kept defending it to myself, others. Every time that I would complain, I'd be like, "Well, I've got all these excuses for why I should stay." And then somebody finally said to me, "Hey, you know what? It's actually my wife." She said, "You don't actually sound happy, so why are you defending your job? Why don't you quit?" And I realized that I actually wasn't defending my job, I was defending the last five years that I had spent building my career at this employer. So if you find yourself defending your sales job, like a lot of people do in my comments, ask yourself, "Am I defending this job because it's actually a great job?" Or because admitting that I'm wrong and it's really not that good means that I'm going to actually have to go and do something and start building something for myself. If you're ready to stop defending and stop building, maybe consider dropping the follow. I drop free game for sales reps every single day that want to build something for themselves exactly as I did 10 years ago that helped me go from the six figure sales rep to a seven figure CEO. By the way, there's a free training on exactly what I did at the top of my profile.
