Weekly Alluviance #8: Who Defines You?
YOUR WEEKLY DOSE OF ALLUVIANCE!
In sales, we're handed a book and told to go "crush quota."
When I first started in sales, my mentality was to hit quota at all costs to prove to the world that I could do it. Or another way of saying it, to show to the world that I was good enough.
The unfortunate part about this is I was defining success through external validation based on a number that I had little control over. When we let others define our value, we're oftentimes left ungrounded, disconnected and led to some unpleasant experiences. It sure has been my experience.
And yes, smashing a quota can be a great thing... If it's connected to you. If it comes from place of abundance rather than a place of lack.
This week, I really want you to ask yourself: are you going after big numbers to prove something or because it aligns with serving something greater than yourself?
1. The Rising Leader Podcast:
No new podcast this week. There was a technical snafu, and it didn't get published this week. It happens.
And as a gift for our newsletter subscribers, here's a video from our Alluviant Method online course that is normally part of our paid course. In line with this week's question around who you allow to define you, this video dives into how to embody your Abundant Leader. Enjoy!
2. Featured LinkedIn Post:
When I started in sales I thought I had to hit quota to show the world "I was good enough."
3. Quote to fuel your Alluviance:
“They say every man is defined by his reaction to any given situation. Well who would you want to define you? Someone else or yourself?” – Nipsey Hussle
I have had the greatest wins in my career when I've been connected to purpose. I am able to define life and success on my terms and the results naturally flow from there. It is my deep desire that you begin to define your life for yourself.
