So many updates I’m not even sure where to start…
Weekend started pretty chill/relaxing. Got everything I needed to done for the week, gym, time with family, but mainly it was the first down weekend I’ve had in forever, typically working 7 days a week. Went out for Dinner with my girl/family and came home and got in a pretty big argument with my girlfriend over something stupid.
Decided to meet up with my Aunt and Uncle for a drink because my girl went back to her place, and got a little carried away lol. I don’t drink much these days, but because of the way I partied in the past it turns out I only have one speed, ended up closing down the bar at 2 am, knowing that I had a 1 on 1 with my CEO this morning lol.
Got back home, and my girl was back over, ended up fighting until like 3 AM, pretty rough night and led to a lot of introspection this morning.
Good news and bad news with my meeting. The current company I recently started selling for is shutting down, however was offered an opportunity to come a board a new offer, but it could take some time to get up and running so I’ll have to see how things shake out their. Had some incredible friends I actually met here at SC give me some great advice on my next move, as well as an opportunity from a family member come up. While I am dissapointed about this company closing down as I was a big fan of the brand, I am incredibly grateful for the connections I made their, how much I’ve developed my skills in just 1 month, and for all the support I’ve had from friends and family. Some big news that I have to change and adapt to, but this past year has really showed me how capable and adaptable I’ve become, and I credit a lot of it to the titles I have ran here that have really helped me grow and develop into a man. Thinking back 4-5 years ago my life was a complete mess, I was partying all the time, chasing girls, working restraunts, and my life was going no where. Over the last couple years, (This past month more then anything else) I’ve made some life changing connections, people that I literally envisioned my self being friends with when I was a teenager, learned a skill that allows me to have a source of income and job at anytime I want, built foundational business skills that I’ll use for the rest of my life, learned how to manage money even when I wasn’t making much, just feeling really empowered about the whole situation right now.
While the next couple months might be tough while I transition to whatever opportunity comes up, I have a clear new goal of what to focus on next. This phase of my life is all about learning and acquiring new skills, so that I have the confidence and skill set to run my own business in the future. Sales is a very love hate thing for me, when your on it’s the best thing in the world, when your off you have crippling self esteem, but I’ve come too far to just quit. Despite everything going on I’m off to a banging start to the week with my sales, and I’m taking it as a sign to not give up. I’ve had too many times in the past where I look back at opportunites and think man, where would I be now if I just don’t quit.
So while I will be continuing to grind it out in high ticket sales, I’m looking to start down a path of learning the only skill set that I consider more important then influence/persuasion. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to get started, but I know my next stage in self development, is to learn how to become a LEADER.
New chapter starting today.
