Not just a pitstop.
In my experience, I’ve noticed a lot of Sales Professionals treat their jobs as a sort of pit stop or bridge — just something to get us to the next thing.
If I’m honest, I’ve had this mindset myself.
Since I was a teen I wanted to own my own company. I wasn't sure what type of business I would start, but I knew I wanted to be my own boss. My feelings have changed a bit about that in some ways, but that is a conversation for another day.
I would spend hours learning how to market. I would spend hours teaching myself about real estate. I would read books and listen to podcasts about anything and everything except how to do my job better.
Isn’t that funny? I would devote so much time and energy learning how to make money doing something that wasn’t paying me while I neglected getting better at the thing keeping my lights on.

Has anyone else been there?
