Most people reject big goals like becoming a Regional Vice President because they fear criticism, worry about income, or resent the pressure. Naming these three mental shortcuts is the first step to actually pursuing ambitious objectives instead of talking yourself out of them.
One of two things happen. The first thing is you say, you know what, I really didn't want that long-term goal. Maybe I don't want RVP, maybe I just want to be a qualified district. Or maybe I just want to be a, you know, a licensed representative. Or maybe I just want to be somebody in the crowd, you know, so I can just be in the room and not get chewed out by my coach, right? Or, or this is what happens. Jason stays his back towards me and he starts resenting the long-term goal. I didn't want to be RVP anyways. I didn't want to show up to those meetings. Those guys really don't make that type of money, right? They don't change lives like that, right? So what I'm— what am I saying with you guys?
