    INTRO Made $400k as a sales rep this year at 19 and want to expand to my own business

    Hey Sam! Ive been in solar for a year and 2 weeks. Working maybe 40-50 hours a week. The main lesson I learned was the importance of an insanely great offer. Honestly, before this offer I was making significantly less but working way more hours. At my old company in credit card machines, the top...

    I really like how you break this down! I do tend to have ideas but they are usually very random. But if I keep generating, something will be doable for sure. I am curious, what is your non-freelance business about?

    This is a great response :) This is likely to be my path This job is remote so I can do it in the day and explore some value screws when the work is completed. I am lucky to have little to not past trauma to hold me back. I am glad you overcame this! How did you find your own value screws?

    Its called Natural Selling by Michael Oliver. The whole philosophy is that you start not with expecting a sale but expecting to have a good understanding of the person and if there is a sale to be made in the first place. Then it teaches you how to figure out someone's emotional blueprint and...

    Thanks man! A lot of it is having an insanely great offer. I have good enough people around me that the bar I have is insanely high for what is good sales. If I don't have a perfect understanding of their emotional profile and talk only in relation to the features they care about the most, I...

    I love that! I agree with that. Honestly I feel rusty in my sales ability so for Q3 2024 I paid 2k for a sales course I want to ingrain into my being cause the principles of being a problem finder and solver are universal but I will start solving my own problems to get into the habit. Any...

    That's great! I am curious, what made you want to pick up that book? I ask only cause in my experience, if it is solving an immediate problem in front of you it will stick incredibly well. For me, until I had a kid in my class I was arguing with all the time, none of the concepts stuck until I...

    Feeling slightly starstruck you replied! I am still at this job and am making from 25-40K depending on the month but the opportunity wanes depending on incentives in Canada and I think a big one will end in the next year. I have the vast majority of the money saved up in an LLC as I did not...

    Hello Everyone! Read the millionaire fast lane at 16 and it really opened my eyes on the incredible focus on value. Long story short, found a great offer in solar, absolutely killed it but for me, I am very driven by creating my own thing and more importantly, value that actually helps the...
