I understand about indecision, but I don't care if I get behind. People living in competition, all I want is to have my peace of mind. – Boston
Growing up I was enamored with sports. I loved football, basketball, baseball, golf, and track and field. I was very competitive, almost to a fault. I hated to lose or see my favorite teams lose.
When in business, same thing…I needed to be the number one sales rep, number one product in our category, and the thought of losing to my competition created many sleepless nights and anxiety. On the one hand, that fear of losing gave me great motivation, but the price paid was the constant angst in my gut.
It took my last 3 years of working under new owners to learn that all that angst was unwarranted. There is so much more to life than being “number 1”. All the awards and accolades have been discarded or are gathering dust. What really matters are the people in my sphere of influence who love and care for me plus the ability and opportunity for me to help them in any way I can.
Peace of mind is a much better place.
