Motivation 101

what motivates you? that is the question i ask myself everyday i wake up in the morning. i've been doing sales for 8+ years and it has taken its toll on me...physically, mentally, and financially.

i dont have a kushy 9-5 salary job. i work 100% on commission. so that means, i grind/hustle/work my ass off to get a paycheck. i admit, the paychecks are very satisfying after a good month and like ben affleck, i'm smiling ear to ear baby (money isn't everything and i'll post my thoughts on this subject at a later time).

the thought of having a bad month stresses me the f*ck out. luckily for me, i have far more good months than bad. the key for me is to always have a positive attitude and work towards achieving my short/long term goals i have set for myself.

then...i have those days where i absolutely don't do jack sh*t at work (thank you ipad and internet) lol. and those are the days i want to avoid. it is hard to stay focus in this line of work because i can be easily discouraged by a blown sale, rude client, cancellation, etc...and that just adds to my stress level. it can be a real rollercoaster. one minute i'm at an all-time high then the next i'm cussing up a storm. i take it all in stride...

the reason i'm posting this is because it's the 1st of the month and i'm back to square one. last month is in the books and we'll see what June has to offer.

men lie, women lie, numbers don't...
