The Sales Stoic

May 9th - Focus on today’s tasks before worrying about tomorrow’s


Listen Later

“Let’s set out with full commitment, setting aside distractions and focusing on this one purpose—before we realize too late how quickly time moves and find ourselves left behind. Treat each new day as the best yet, and make it truly yours. We must seize what slips away.” - Seneca

In sales, the only constant is change: deals shift, quotas change, competitors emerge.

The one thing you own is today: the calls you make, the relationships you build.

So, stop getting caught up in distractions. Focus on what drives results: outreach, follow-ups, refining your pitch.

Time slips by quickly, but every day is a new chance to focus on what really matters.

We can't control how fast time moves, but we can control how we use it. So, embrace today as your best opportunity yet, because the effort you put in now builds momentum for the future.

Actionable tips:

  • At the start of each day, choose your top three tasks that will drive you closer to your goals and focus on them first.
  • Dedicate uninterrupted blocks of time for prospecting, follow-ups, and closing deals. Protect these blocks fiercely.
  • At the end of each day, ask yourself, “Did I seize the day?” If not, identify what distracted you and adjust for tomorrow.

Remember you will die.
