1. Self realisation- what are my abilities and what I should do to improve the shortcomings. 2. Break up milestones - before jumping in to bigger goals better brake them in to small achievements. 3. Over expecting- get rid of being in the net of hyper about life and possibilities. Actual realisation comes for the roads you covered and the distance you need to cover. 4. Let it go- when goals moves faster than the expectation or goals are beyond reach better let it go. 5. Give free time- giving some space to mind to think and relax and then take next steps. Some time hurry makes mistakes and that can’t be compensated in long go. 5. Discuss- discuss with your mentor or someone you relied on. Take feedback and modify if necessary and restart.

Setting realistic expectations allows sales professionals to balance ambition with achievable goals, sustaining motivation. Prioritizing self-care ensures mental and physical well-being, contributing to sustained high performance by preventing burnout and fostering resilience in the demanding field of sales.

There's a series called "Severance" on Apple TV. It's about humans whose minds have been surgically divided between office and personal lives. How I wish sometimes we had that, but we don't. Easier said that done, but setting a clear boundary is very very important! Boundaries between yourself, and your work after office. Boundaries between yourself, and your personal live when in the office.

Sales folks binge eating, sleeping less and drinking a lot of coffee; is often romanticised a lot. Take series, podcasts, and meme pages - they all talk about these traits.

When you take care of your body and health, you take care of everything else in your family.

Establishing a consistent schedule with a focus on incorporating exercise, especially in the mornings before work, can cultivate healthy habits.

Deal losses are common in sales, agreed. But every loss should teach you something to carry forward - a lesson or a learning, to begin with.

Some salespeople are really good negotiators, but also really bad delegators. They are 'perfectionists', so they tend to do everything by themselves. Sounds fancy, but is extremely draining. This trait causes you to have burn out rather quickly in your career progression. we can never estimate when the burn out will exit your life, so it's a risky bet to invite burn out at an early stage in your career / job / role. So - 1. Prioritise the tasks that need your attention and only you can get it done. 2. Identify the tasks that can be done by others, and it would still be the same thing as you getting it done. 3. Practice the art of delegating - politely.

The more you appreciate, the more good you start to notice. The more you complain, the more bad you start to see. So celebrate and appreciate yourself first. Then others. Then their contributions in your success as well.

Even a small win is a win, we should start appreciating our winnings and learn from our loses, end of the day besides the economic aspect, the real reward of everyone sales person is the relationship with the client and the longevity.

“If you want something doing, give it to a busy person.” Why is that old adage true? Almost certainly because they are more efficient than others. The key to achieving more within the same timeframe as others - and to generating 5 or 10 times more revenue than people doing exactly the same job as you - is to become more efficient at everything you do. Better at closing, better at objection handling, more organised, more intelligent follow-up emails to customers that are tailored to each conversation and a whole lot more. My point is that if you are more efficient at everything, you smash all your targets and have more time for yourself. That’s the way to love yourself in 2024
