I talk a lot about being a salespreneur, thinking about, you know, personal

0:06.1

responsibility about your career, your income, all the things that we have

0:10.6

control over. And that's is what we should focus on. But guess what? We have to

0:18.6

still work for somebody if we're in B2B sales. Now, the most common

0:25.6

frustration I hear from salespeople and what I felt when I was selling was if

0:32.1

you get a bad manager. And some of this you have control over, some of it you

because the part that we do have control over is when we switch jobs or when we

1:40.2

decide to work for anybody or with somebody, we should really think this through

1:46.2

from the beginning because if we don't, we end up having a lot of those six to

1:52.4

nine month things on our resume. And when we interview with the next contestant,

2:01.2

we have to explain the story and a hiring manager. The last thing they want to

2:06.1

hear is how you didn't like the last manager. And some people get it most
