The Sales Stoic

April 8th - If in doubt, question it

Actionable tips:

  • Question your thoughts: when doubts or fears arise, ask, “Is this thought helping me, or is it holding me back?”
  • Practise daily mental checks to separate helpful beliefs from “counterfeit” ones. This will help keep your focus and motivation intact.

“When it comes to money… We’re careful to judge anything that might lead us astray. But when it comes to our own thinking, we tune out, accepting whatever idea comes along without stopping to consider the cost.” - Epictetus

In sales (and life), mental clarity is everything. But too often, we accept ideas unchallenged, letting doubts or assumptions derail us.

Before accepting a thought, ask: Is this helping me, or is it just noise? Don’t let “counterfeit” beliefs shake your confidence.

We're careful with money—scrutinizing its value, avoiding scams—but do we apply the same process and principles to our thoughts?

Take time to think before either accepting or dismissing an idea.

Stay sharp, stay discerning.

Remember you will die.
