“Eat like a human being, drink like one, dress well, get married, have children, get involved in your community, deal with criticism, handle a difficult sibling, father, son, neighbour, or companion. Show us through these everyday actions that you’ve truly learned from the philosophers.” - Epictetus

Stoicism isn’t about grand gestures, it’s about how you show up in the small, daily moments.

Integrity, patience, and self-control aren’t just for big challenges; they’re built through consistency in the mundane.

In sales, true growth isn’t found in the big wins alone but in the daily grind. Each email, every call, and even rejections are chances to refine your craft.

Success isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistently doing the right thing, no matter how small.

Over time, those small efforts add up to something extraordinary.

Actionable tips:

• Next time a client pushes back or things don't go your way, take a breath before reacting. Ask yourself how a Stoic would handle this - calmly and with perspective.
• Every conversation, every demo, even rejections, are steps toward mastering your craft. Celebrate the process, not just the big results.

Remember you will die.
