Scariest/Most Exciting thought EVER

I think it is scary because of the responsibility that comes along with the thought. 

You begin to realize that every situation you find yourself in is due to your own actions...good or bad. Most importantly there is no more complaining or self pity.

Even situations that seem to be brought upon you for no reason could almost always be avoided thru proactivity.

That fear is your survival instinct/ego kicking in. It's like the "dog sitting on a nail" story... people ask why the dog looks like he's in so much pain. His owner says it's because he's sitting on a nail. They ask why the dog doesn't just get off the nail... he replies, "Because it doesn't hurt enough."

It's like my dad... He actually tried his hand at entrepreneurship once and failed... never to try again. That's a sad thing to see someone who let failure defeat them. I had a genius business idea that would be fuckin perfect for him. I even told him, "look, I'll show you EXACTLY how to do it. But you'll have to put the effort in. It has to be your effort and I can't do it for you." He always gets this uncomfortable look (fear) and says, "oh yeah well that's all well and good but... excuses excuses excuses."

Starting a business is probably one of the most fullfilling things you could choose to do with your life... In my humble opinion.

Meow is more perceptive than he knows.

You need to find your "why" for emotional leverage to succeed.

Maybe you don't want to let your dad do that so easily dude? You could possibly make it easier for him to climb on board and potentially help it happen a lot more. Sucess is a great teacher. All I know is I coach while I work on my projects. So at any given point I feel like I'm pushing 15 motherfuckers while also doing my own shit. And it works, most of the time. Or I beat some ass. Haha 

Celebrate the small victories and give yourself a pat on the back along the way. It'll help keep you sane since your goals usually can't physically manifest itself till the end. Even though you know you're making progress, the world doesn't. No one but you knows the time you spent on your craft, turning a dream into a reality.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

I was really thinking about my initial post and I wasn't really scared of the amount of responsibility it takes.

I'm scared of failing to achieve my goals because of a lack of follow through; a lack of consistency.  I know that all I have to do is put in enough work and eventually I'll achieve my goals (very simplified); but my biggest weakness in my whole life has been taking consistent action to achieve my goals .  It's why I did poorly in college, it's why I haven't been taking control and actually banging all of these girls that I've had opportunities with,  it's even why haven't written a review for John on his awesome training yet. 

Follow Through - The ability to just set a goal, ignore your emotions, and just keep moving forward until you achieve that goal and even move past it.  The upwards spiral and downwards spiral that Tyler talks about is very real.  I've done both many times before; it's just now I feel like I have an opportunity and I'm hustling for it, but every day their is that devil on my shoulder, saying fuck it just sleep in today, fuck it just chill out, don't worry about meditating just go watch some Netflix etc.

Fuck Netflix. What is your hustle?

It's sales,  you hit sales standards.(which I've already met)  

Actually your writing and grammar is the best I've ever seen it lol. Good job improving that. 

You sure moving to this guy's new office is the best thing for you?? Or is it the best thing for him? 

I'm at a sales internship and love it. Be very careful like MW is insinuating. But yes, being one of the very first employees in an office can have tremendous upside but you need to work your ass off and prove you're indisposable. PM me I think I have just the thing for you to become a killer 

Heh, Manhose knows.

You know why they call them "stock brokers" or "insurance brokers?" Cuz they're broker than you. This isn't selling a financial product is it?

What are you selling?

This is my mindset for moving to this guy's new office.

This office provides more opportunity for me because:

I will learn what opening a new office is actually like, in preparation for when I open an office.

The #1 recruiter in the entire business is moving to the new office with us.  That means a lot of talented people interviewing and entering the business to become part of my crew.

A smaller office of about ten people allows for a lot more opportunity for me, because there is much less competion for those interviews (you earn interviews by how well you do in the field).  The more interviews you can get, the more talented people you can talk to and build up your crew quicker and get them making enough money to hit the standards that you need your crew to hit to get promoted, and you help them as much as possible in order for them to get promoted up the chain in the same way that you are getting promoted up the chain.

The whole point of the business is that you make the most money through overides, which the client matching what the people that you trained up make in the field.  If you promote out a successful office, you're making serious money off how many sales their office does.

The way for (the new guy) to earn the most money off my effort is to prepare me as best as he can for me to open my own office and run a successful office.

A new office means more responsibilities on my shoulders quicker, with less competition to learn those responsibilities, as well as more focus on me to learn the responsibilities.   I need to learn them anyway to move up the ladder. 

A smaller office also offers more personalized training as there are less people to focus on as well.

It puts more  A LOT  more pressure on me to hustle and take control of where I'm headed.

Also within the next couple of years we are adding some really big name clients (F10), which means a lot more sales offices need to be opened up for our new clients.

Mario, I worked sales jobs and have run a business for 6+ years. What's the product lol?

Yeah I took a door to door sales job when I got out of the military. If you can sell someone internet services when they're eating dinner, you can sell anything. Lol. Now I just sell cock mainly, but still pretty similar 

So what are the benefits of staying with the larger office? What are the potential cons of going to this smaller office. 

Right now I'm selling Verizon Fios door to door, nothing special.  But the larger parent company works with various other companies AT&T, Comcast, SunRun etc, door to door and business to business etc. 

Stocks ugghhh.

The benefits of the larger office.

A lot less flunctuation that would come from not having to move.  They have a system that works in an area where we are already effective.

There would be much less stress on me.

My cost of living would go down, because I would still be living at home, allowing me to pay off larger percentages of my student loans.

There would still be opportunity but more competition because there are just more people.  Competition also forces you to get really good at the base of sales.

The owner is also a boss that had to go through the entire process of opening up an office and successfully managing it 11 months ago.

There are also a lot of different people that have skills to learn from that aren't quite at the point of opening up their own shop, but are specifically talented at certain skills, like in the office next to us has the 6th best sales person in the country, he's currently building up a crew.

Cons of the smaller office:

Moving out on my own/corporate housing to area that I've never lived in before.  Basically have to completly figure out how to actually support myself by myself. (Which I'm planning out budget etc)

Higher cost of living.  Greater debt initially, because I would actually have to support myself.

We could tank, the system in the larger office already works well.

Putting a lot of trust in the new office to do the right things as well, which would allow me this opportunity.

What are you guys seeing as pros/cons either way...

What's your budget like. Has this guy offered you any financial incentives to move over there with him?

Btw have you started your coaching review. Start it if you haven't, just get cracking on it here 'n there 

Ah, I see. I think that sales will teach you some amazing stuff. You'll start to realize that you have to actually go out and mothafuckin kill something, drag it back to the cave, dress it, and then cook it before you get to eat. That's good. Really good.

Probably the best lil piece of advice for sales I can give you, is always always always be on the customer's side. Never forget that. They are the purpose. Sometimes that means having a heart and saying, "you know what, this isn't for you." Don't ever sacrifice your integrity. About a month ago I turned down a big sale because it would have meant possible harm to my other customers. I told the lady, "ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS IS MY BUSINESS AND I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT."

I saw a lot of deuchebags in sales who commited the equivalent of "sales rape." If you see any of that coming from your team, the leadership, or the ownership. Run. Get the fuck out.

My break even to just survive on my own and pay for all of my bill is around $400.  No there is no financial incentive to moving down, all the money for the business is basically invested into opening the business.  But we're guaranteed to start making money from day one, just because everyone already knows the exact systems, we're just replicating the same system in a different territory where Verizon has just started installing FIOS all over the place, (just outside DC).

Yea I have bits and pieces of the review.

edit:

I'm about to pass out. I'll respond to anything else in the morning. 

I definitely have noticed that Infinity.

Very beautiful. I was the same way, in all my sales. Except for cock. I 99% of the time feel that cock is the answer to a woman's prayers and hopes and dreams. 

Rent and bills will amount to $400 at the new spot? That's not bad. I say do it holmes. Kiiill it 

$400 is nothing. Are you livin in the office?
