Marcus Chan had some great advice for me when I came to him with my personal problems last week and he said something along the lines of
"there are no sales problems just personal problems" - and went on to explain that when your home life or mental life isn't doing good it's hard to have a smile on the phones, be focused, and productive. That if you can really master your peace at home, it is the foundation for being successful in sales. He recommended that I actually try to take off some time to deal with my shit and then come back ready to give it my all.
I didn't take time off, and the whole week was pretty much a wash.
But now that everything's all good at home I feel like I can actually focus and produce results and it's so freeing to just be able to work without crazy distractions.
This last year I have been so bogged down with this passive aggressive abusive relationship I was in it was entirely impossible to give my all at work and get the results and achieve the expectations I had for myself so my mental health always took a hit.
If you have a good home situation that allows you to work I implore you to value that and realize how amazing that is. And if you have a shitty home situation, I implore you to be brave and courageous and compaasionate towards yourself that it's normal to struggle to get results in that situation and to do everything you can to get out of that situation.
Because sales is so much more than the 8-5. Everyday outside of that, every relationship, every choice, has a trickle effect into your productivity and success. In sales and in everything I believe.
That is all.
I ended up calling the police on my abusive partner to say that she threatened to kill herself if I broke up with her and I didn't know what to do. They came and I was able to have a recorded conversation with her letting her know it was the only option she gave me and she agreed to go home that moment without fighting me or killing herself and came to pick up her shit yesterday without saying nearly anything to me.
I can sing, dance, and open the windows and talk to people now and travel. And I'm on a journey to reclaim my heart, mind, and soul after an imprisoned year as well as to hopefully excel in my sales career.
I let my boss know what had happened and if he noticed any effect in my performance why it was happening and that I would also now be open to traveling to visit the HQ and stuff like that. He thankfully said he is actually already impressed with what I am already doing and hadn't noticed and if I'm saying I can improve more than that is amazing. 2-3x me here I come
Didn't get one thing done with job .25 (flex role) the entire week because of the drama. And she took my work computer as I was using the macbook I gifted her so I lost my login info bc it all happened in a hurry so just waiting on my login info back to continue from bravado HQ.
Much Love,
The hurt kid
