Do you ever feel like you should start your own business?  for most of us working in sales means going out getting prospects closing them in even delivering service sometimes.

 I don’t know about you but often times I would look at managers and bosses I’ve had over the years and figured they were no smarter than I was.  matter fact most of the time they were some ass-kissing moron and that was what got him the job in that position in the first place.

 I got into sales because I thought sales meant the sky was the limit when it came to your income.  after being in sales about 10 years I realize that the sky wasn’t the limit there was a ceiling Play Store my income earning abilities.

 I had two choices number one I can continue doing sales for the company I work for and start a side business or number two I could quit and start my own business either way I had to start something outside of my normal sales job if I was truly going to have no limit on my earning ability.

 for most of us though especially if we’ve been at our job for a while we’re earning a comfortable 6 + figures a year and it’s awfully risky to start your own business.  think about it our entire lives we’re conditioned not to start our own business our parents say things like now you know it sure is tough being self-employed the government releases statistics that say 93% of all businesses shut down within the first 5 years

 while it’s no doubt the odds are stacked against you when it comes to opening your business it’s actually not as hard as most people think it is.

 in 2010 I work for a mortgage company I was the top producer and I was absolutely crushing it the government created a new law called the Dodd-Frank Act and basically I lost my ability to originate mortgages

 The Mortgage Firm I work for had no choice but to let me go and another firm offered me a job in the marketing position.  after working for the mortgage company for 90 days or so I was making more money generating leads for the company than any loan officer that work there.

 this pissed the CEO off and soon he figured out a way to let me go again I had set myself up to earn unlimited income and somebody else had gotten in my way

 that’s when I decided to start my own business as matter fact I didn’t have a whole lot of money and I didn’t know anything about business but I knew I can make sales and if I could make enough sales I can make enough business and that was all that mattered

 if you haven’t been in this position yet you’ll be in it soon enough and you probably have some ideas running through your head of what you want to do for a living besides what you’re actually doing for a living anyway

 once you learn the universal fundamentals of sales you can literally sell anything anytime anywhere to anybody.  this also includes you starting your own business and selling a different product that you’ve created or that you have the hookup on to a market place that you now control 

I’ve been self-employed now for 11 years and I have never made as much money as I make right now and I was always top producer in every sales organization I would have never been able to live the dream life that I’ve created on my terms without starting my own business either

 here’s what I would propose to you those of you that are working in sales that want to start your own business that are tired of working for somebody else here’s what it’s going to take

 first of all you got to stop partying you’re going to need every dollar you earn that you can save in order to build your business no more hookers no more blow no more going out trying to be the cool guy no more Rolex is no more Fancy Shoes f*** all that s*** you got to start saving money

 second you got to stop trying to impress people nobody gives a f*** about your $300 shirt your $600 shoes your $400 jeans nobody cares look I’m a multi multi multi multi multi millionaire in your wardrobe nobody gives a s*** what kind of clothes you wear as long as they look decent on you and they’re not like hanging off your ass you’re going to be okay

 while you’re saving up your money it doesn’t just need to go into a savings account it needs to go into investment accounts you need to be investing in safe Investments that get you somewhere between 5 and 10% APR that you can trust so that your money grows as you’re stacking it up to start your own business

You’re working in a six-figure maybe even a multi six-figure business right now for somebody else imagine if you got the keep just 50% 80% or even 100% of that money most of you would quadruple if not 10x your income

 in order to make that happen you need to make sure that your money is working for you you see you’re in a multi six-figure job right now you need to be putting as much money back as possible and then investing that money so that you got compound earnings coming so that you can start your business the right way funded

 looks sales is just the start of this journey.  for some of you you get comfortable and you just stay in sales your entire life for others they want to level up so they become self-employed for the troop Champions they not only build a self-employed business they build an executive board and become a CEO and if you’re lucky enough is the Ceo to build your business right you can sell it and become a full-time investor.
