QUOTES
03:51 "Early on, I learned so many bad habits in sales. I treated people very transactionally. It was all about me and my commission check. And it was very typical sales is a number game sort of mentality."
06:07 "I just knew I didn't want to be poor. That was it. So I didn't have a plan A and I fell back or got into sales by accident. There was literally no other opportunities on the table for me."
07:53 "I'm getting sales and that feels good, but not being honest doesn't feel so good. And so I had to start to really figure out what type of person did I want to be."
09:35 "The long term value of delivering those great experiences was worth more than a quick sale here and there."
10:43 "I was starting to realize that the happier I was and the more that I invested in myself personally, that I would perform at a higher level professionally."
