Cherish the good the bad the ugly
Cherish the good, the bad, and the ugly with this business. I’m fairly new (just a week in). I love the battles that come with it. I live my life with the motto, what do I have to lose? That helps me a lot because now I just go for it and don’t overthink it. I was nervous to cold call , and my very first time the woman on the phone did not help my nerves. However, I learned from it and now I sound a lot better and I’m more prepared. In addition, them tough times get overlook when I get appointment. Lord knows, I could only imagine the feeling after I close my first deal. In essence just do it y’all, it will hurt you way more to not attempt than to attempt and learn from it.I know this journey is not easy, but I’m excited for the journey.
