Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11.

Jeff, welcome to the program. Hi, Dr. Laura. Hi. Hi. Thanks for taking my call. So I, uh, looking for some

advice, maybe a little like a different, a different perspective.

So I'm in sales.

I've got what I consider kind of a stressful job.

It's 100% commission what I do.

So there's good times and bad times.

I guess I'm calling about the bad times. So when

things are kind of going kind of rough and I am not selling so well, I just kind of get into a funk and almost to the point to where you get frustrated, you get aggravated, and then I can stay with you and to the point to where it can turn into frustration and, you know,

I can even take a good sale and make it a bad sale even because I'm still in my head about how,

you know, how, you know, that last week went or whatever.

So just trying to figure out how to not get into a funk, I guess.

Is that silly?

No.

I, for one, would never take your job.

I like the security of paying the bills every month.

You know, you'd take these huge risks and put yourself in distressful situations. It's tough. It's

very tough. It's like somebody trying to do a lot of auditions to get a TV show or a movie. It's

tough to get rejected a lot. It's tough. So if you're expecting yourself not to have a reaction,

that's nuts.

Now, what's not nuts is when you get in that funk, which is totally a reasonable thing to happen,

got to come out with a game plan.
