A job I don’t hate :)

As you may know, I've been bitching in the past several months about my job.

I finally quit and have a dope set up now:

1. I got an independent contractor sales role with a small marketing agency. Their team throws meetings on my calendar and I close them. I can literally set my own hours to whenever I want, and take as many meetings as they give me. This is a full-ish time hours role. The last guy doing this did pretty well, and after reviewing his call recordings, I know I can easily at least match what he did.

2. And now I also have the free time to build out my side gig. I'm actually a certified hypnotherapist, and I've been wanting to set up a practice forever. So I'm finally able to do that now.

Ultimately, the goal is for me to get 75% of my money through the sales gig, and 75% of my fulfillment through the hypnotherapy gig. Not planning on charging exorbitant prices because I actually wanna help people.

For the first time in a long time I'm actually happy with where I'm at in my career.

Not in SaaS, and I don't have a W2, but I'm fucking thrilled.

“Look at my watch closely…”
“You are getting very sleepy…”
“You want to give me all your budget for my product…”

Congrats on the gig and side gig!

New vertical to target. Hypnotize those that are not hitting their quota to believe they are sales crushing machines. Charge companies Million, bazillion dollars for your services and retire to a tropical island. Then come out of retirement to hold company getaways where you can charge a million, trazillion dollars that includes hypnotizing all the reps at once.

Do you still wear a full suit to your 1st meeting with a prospect, or is that completely dust now and feel like a used car salesman?
