Good Tuesday Morning!!
So, at the end of every interview I ask, “What questions do you have for us?”
Last week, a gentleman named Devin asked me…
“What was the thing you focused on that helped you be successful?”
Good question, right? So what was my answer?
I said…
“100 things had to happen, including hard work, dedication, LUCK, timing etc. However, I’ll break it down into the TWO things that got me here…”
“First, sales. I figured out pretty quick that better sales mean more hours, and more hours mean more opportunity. I make goals by more, I get more responsibility. So I honed my selling skills by asking for help! As I got better and better, I got promoted again and again.”
“Second was people. I focused on sales for close to three years and it got me to a certain point. But I actually remember where I was when it hit me that sales can’t get me any further, and developing people was the next piece of the puzzle that I had to get, and accomplish.”
“I put a major focus on those two things, I got A TON of help from my bosses and mentors, and with a ton of hard work and luck, here I am!”
So as you get your day started today, I invite you to learn a valuable lesson that took me three years to “get”, so you too can have the opportunity to answer that great question that Devin asked me last Friday.
The lesson: Crush all goals and develop others.
Start the lesson TODAY with the first customer you help, and the first teammate you work with.
