How I changed my life with "mini-systems" (from an RVP who burnt out after 15+ years):
A few weeks ago I posted about how I burnt out after 15+ years in a high-pressure sales environment.
As Regional VP of Sales at a fast-growing tech company, my life had become an endless stream of:
I would wake up early to get a headstart and work late into the night. My phone was always buzzing with email, Slack, and WhatsApp notifications.
To make matters worse, it was taking a toll on my family life.
The breaking point came when I missed my son's jujitsu belt test - something I'd promised I wouldn't miss.
That night, seeing the disappointment in his eyes, I knew something had to change.
I spent the next year obsessively developing and testing productivity systems that would allow me to
I started creating what I called "mini-systems"
Small changes that had a compounding effect.
What began as a quest to regain control of my calendar...
Evolved into an operating system that helped me recover 10+ hours every week.
More importantly, spend more time w/ family.
Turns out there was something to this systems-based approach.
About a month ago, I realized there were probably many other sellers & sales leaders struggling with the same challenges I faced.
So I thought: "What if I start sharing my learnings with others?"
And that's when the idea to create The Systematic Sales Leader Newsletter came to me.
After asking my network to validate my idea, the response was clear.
Several others were struggling and wanted to learn more about the mini-systems I created.
So, if you are tired of dealing with constant overwhelm, missing important family moments, and feeling like you're always behind, I promise this is exactly what you need.
The newsletter will be officially launching on 1.7.25.
As a subscriber, each Tuesday at 10 EDT, you will receive ready-to-use templates, step-by-step implementation guides, and actionable mini-systems to help you escape burnout and recover 10+ per week, without sacrificing your numbers.
My goal is for you to find something worth implementing in every single edition.
I hope to see you there.

6dWhile they haven’t done anything to improve my photography skills - Your tips and systems have been so appreciated by me. From how to get to maintain inbox zero to how to get more out of conversations with decision makers when I have them in front of me really saved me a near mental break down or two…or 4000
