Peak Performance Selling

BUILD A MINDSET STRONGER THAN STRESS AND BURN-OUT

Join us today as Jordan welcomes Kevin Bailey. Kevin is the Co-Founder and CEO of Dreamfuel, which helps teams perform at higher levels while reducing stress. The two discuss burnout, stress, and the importance of focusing on life's quota over the standard sales quota. Kevin also breaks down the 3 ways to create new mindsets so make sure to stay tuned to this latest episode of Peak Performance Selling.

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

KEVIN: MINDSET BALANCE BETWEEN BURNOUT AND RESILIENCE

“I realized I needed to learn the other side of mindset, which is like how not to burn out and how to stay strong and be resilient.”

KEVIN: YOUR EMOTION CREATES YOUR MINDSET

“Emotion is what creates memory. Emotion is what creates new mindsets. If you want to get confident, have natural confidence, you got to get really excited about you being confident, and that will wire and fire and build new neural networks for confidence.”

KEVIN: AVOID CREATING LIMITING BELIEFS

“Last thing you want to do is get into an already bad situation and make it worse because you turn a bad situation into a limiting belief that lasts with you for the rest of your sales career.”

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

RACHEL: FEELING BETTER BY HELPING OTHERS

“If I'm feeling bad about something, something's not going my way, like my automatic reflex is not necessarily to kind of like, turn to something that will make me feel better a little bit like, I turned to kind of the reflex of how can I go and help someone else with something that they're going through”

JORDAN: TRUE FULFILLMENT THROUGH GIVING

“I think true fulfillment comes in with one of the key aspects and necessities in our lives to really feel fulfilled is by being able to give to others by knowing that there is this abundance out there in the world.”

RACHEL: SUCCESS FROM MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION

“Success to me, is the ability to contribute in a way that's meaningful to me, where I'm no longer doing anything because I have to, whether it's working at a job that I don't like, or hanging out with people that I don't want to but know that I have to. So that's success, that's freedom to me.”

JORDAN: PERSONAL CONDITIONING

“If we can condition our outside or inside world of what we see and what we take in to help us move forward to lift us up versus continually take us down, like the news cycle. I think that's such a critical, critical piece, and really, really powerful.”

“If we want to bring it back to sales or your career, like to succeed in anything, like it requires that element of personal development so there's no such thing as professional development without personal development.”

IT PAYS OFF TO PAY GRATITUDE

Rachel Shi is back in another round with Jordan and today, they talk about living a life of gratitude and appreciation.

Rachel also gives her insights about the value of self-sufficiency and self-reliance, the lessons she learned from her first job, and practicing empathy in sales which she learned from becoming a buyer herself.

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

RACHEL: CONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH BRINGS A NEW PERSPECTIVE

“Having a consciousness of death and having a consciousness that everyone is going to die, and again you don't know when that's going to be, humbles you, and it gives you perspective.”

RACHEL: THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF ‘WHAT IF’

“They always hold back because it's like, what if, what if this doesn't go right? What if I look foolish? And I always try to encourage them to reframe that what if. What if everything goes great? How powerful is that? If everything goes better than expected, and that's just a small mental shift that you can make, and it makes the world of difference.”

JORDAN: WORST-CASE VS BEST-CASE SCENARIO

“In most cases, our brain is going to default to the worst-case scenario. And that isn't even the most likely scenario. And so if we can say, well, what would the best case be here? To your point, like, I think there are just so many subtle little tricks that we can do with our mind to move away from our kind of predisposed negative fear-based state that we all live from.”

STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS

While a lot of people have a stigma of vulnerability being a sign of weakness, but for Tim Clarke, vulnerability is something that leaders and colleagues should have alike.

Stay tuned as Tim also shares some light on the misconceptions about mental health, only here in the latest episode of Peak Performance Selling.

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

TIM: PEOPLE WANT TO BE CARED ABOUT

“People are moving. People want to work for not only a company, but we're for someone, a manager who cares about mental health. And so I think every leader on here right now should be considering, okay, what am I doing for mental health? What am I doing for vulnerability, not only to attract talent, but to retain talent as well.”

TIM: VULNERABILITY SHOWS TRUTH AND CONNECTS

“Vulnerability is just what opens up the door for people to see more of who we really are and to connect.”

TIM: #1 MISCONCEPTION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

“The first one that comes up to me is mental health equals mental illness, whereas mental health could equal mental wellness.”
