Weekly Alluviance #129: The Price of a Weak Inner Game

Weekly Alluviance #129: The Price of a Weak Inner Game

Your weekly dose of Alluviance!

Last week, we started with why.

Why the Inner Game is the foundation for everything we want in life and sales.

This week, we look at the alternative.

What happens when the Inner Game is weak?

What is the real price we pay?

It may show up in subtle ways at first. And it has nothing to do with your territory, your leads, or your pitch deck.

  • The quota reset feels like a crushing weight, not a fresh start.

  • Your “commission breath” leaks into every call, and prospects can smell the desperation.

  • One “no” feels like a verdict on your self-worth, and it hijacks your entire day.

  • You’re constantly waiting to be “found out.”

  • You live and die by the leaderboard.

  • The coffee stops working.

  • The fire in your belly turns into a low, dull ache of “what’s the point?”

This isn’t just a bad quarter. This is the slow-burn erosion of your confidence, your energy, and your love for the game.

These are the warning lights - even if they're just flickering right now - that your Inner Game isn't strong enough to carry your ambition.

This is the diagnosis.

Next week, we begin the treatment.
