Actionable tips:

• Keep track of the skills you’re building and the strategies you’re improving, rather than just the praise or numbers.
• When a deal closes (or falls through), give yourself a moment to detach from the outcome. Remember, it’s just one of many, not the whole story.

“Flip it around and see what happens—how it changes when it’s aged, broken, or selling itself. How fleeting are both the admirer and the admired, the one who remembers and the one remembered.” - Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius encourages us to "flip it around" and see things from a deeper perspective—what may seem significant on the surface often fades with time.

Recognition and accolades are fleeting, but the skills we develop, the relationships we nurture, and the resilience we build are what truly matter in the long run.

In sales, the rush for titles and big wins is temporary, but the process and growth behind those moments is what sticks.

Dig deeper, ask 'why,' and focus on building long-term success, not just short-term glory.

Remember you will die.
