Found BP, got inspired, changed careers to 100% commission

I read a few real estate books and starting browsing BP for a few months and got inspired. In an effort to increase my income after realizing I wasn't going to be making decent wages for financial independence at my low paying hourly government job, I made a vision board / specific life plan with my fiancee and then an opportunity came and I left WA and am now in Denver on a 1099 as a solar panel sales rep. The sky is the limit if I can get the ball rolling and its the most exciting and challenging thing I have ever done. I was a helicopter tech in the Navy, then a wind turbine tech, then a wildland firefighter, all blue collar stuff and now I'm here so this world is completely knew. If anyone has any advice for a new salesperson barely keeping afloat, or any content like books or podcasts to help me jumpstart my knowledge and mindset it would be greatly appreciated. COVID sure has made traditional door to door sales quite the ethical conundrum. 

Thanks and good luck to you all,

Paul
