      Can I ask what type of sales you are in? I have been in sales for years, but I work in education and we don’t make commission. I do very well for an average middle class income, but I feel like I am very skilled on the phone and am curious where these huge incomes are coming from in sales? I am an hourly employee and it’s more stable, but I am curious if your income is pure commission based? Do you have any advice for helping me get over the fears of pure commission work? Thanks!

      Man, 1000% facts. The rewarding myself part is great for me to hear because I've logged that in my notes after coming to that realization myself 5 years ago or so. To hear that repeated from a man I look up to and respect so much is amazing confirmation that I'm on the right path, while also even further raising my confidence in his words because I've already been living in and experiencing the truth in his words. Powerful. I'm very grateful 🙏🏿

    This is wonderful and what an opening eye. Do the hard work, and reward yourself for every big or little accomplishment. And remember, rewarding yourself does not always mean spending big money or going into debt. A lot of the times, taking your wife out to dinner and connect with her, to speak about the future, will be priceless.

    Sales almost always involves lying. The soul can only take so much, and drinking every night eventually stops working. Being a successful salesman, yet again, almost always involves deception. Getting out of "sales" was the best thing I ever did for my family and self.

    Setting goals that you actually care about is key. I have the hardest time with that. I've bought everything I've ever wanted and all the stuff I haven't bought costs huge amounts of money. It's hard to find smaller and achievable things I care about to look forward to as I keep pushing for the real big stuff.

    There's a lack of connection to what's actually going on other than sales that leads to sort of a mental lack of resolution. The trouble is we're all so specialized now that you can't really be in sales and be connected to what you're selling to really know everything tangibly about it from start to finish.
    Your advice is good as sales isn't really anything tangible unless you're so lucky that you just love spending time with your clients (even outside of sales) and they have a need for what you're selling. After that, you can have rewards or you can have goals, or both - how someone responds to each depends on the person (most people like to have rewards rolled in - but the reward can be as simple as putting more money aside for the future and watching it grow rather than buying expensive stuff).

    Great episode, but unfortunately too late for me. :) I've been a Head of Sales & Biz Development in an IT company, worked 24/7/365, and burned out after 3 years in the industry. Had to take a position 100500 times lower to just re-charge myself. I never got back to top positions - just couldn't (those who know what a burnout is, will understand). Starting my own business seemed to be the solution. I wish I understood that I need to reward myself back in the days. But then if I didn't burn out? I wouldn't take that leap of faith and make major changes in my career (and mindset, too).

Your reward shouldn’t be SPENDING, otherwise you overspend and never have anything in life. Patrick said something very important. The reward is tied to a number of revenue and savings. Understand this! You make $100,000 and you spend $2000. You don’t make $10,000 and spend $12,000. Great video man.
