I left my job because I thought I could do better, achieve more.
But is that the real reason?
I am not in the habit of giving up +$3000 paychecks simply because I thought I could do better.
The travel was oppressive, the people uninspiring and the work was stagnating.
The catalyst to change was not the desire to pursue growth but to remove myself from a toxic situation.
At my last corporate job my salary was $140,000 a year. I had a company car. I had a company credit card. I traveled six days a week. Other than the fixed costs of housing and utilities I had few expenses.
I quit that job to do better, to achieve more.
What is better? What is more?
My objective is to reach annual income of $200,000.
A sports team has one objective, to win a championship. Failure to do so immediately or quickly usually results in dismissal of personnel. Every once in a while subjective metrics or barriers perceived out of the norm will buy time but the quest for a championship is a zero sum business. Achieve the objective or be replaced.
The same is true for most sales people, corporate officers or any business in general. The specific objective of sales, revenue and profit must be achieved or you will be dismissed and replaced.
In order to achieve the results you wish your mind must be conditioned to not only exist but thrive in a high pressure situation that demands specific results.
