      I guess I'll also say that "Once you become good at something it will become your passion" obviously isn't always true, and if it is true it isn't stable I never ever talk about this anymore but there was a time when I worked in sales, and I hated it, and *I was really good*https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1343177343678836743 …

      This is a necessary *corrective* to bad advice other people give, perhaps, but if it were actually generally true then there'd be no such thing as the stereotype of a "midlife crisis" Nobody getting paid six figures would suddenly crack up and burn out and wreck their life https://twitter.com/mouneer/status/1342559926611271681 …

      I don't ever talk about this usually because one of the things I can't stand about "sales culture" is how literally everyone says this about themselves When I talk about my old job it's never about that fact But, well, it's true

      The one thing I enjoyed about sales was I went into it well after my company told me I would be no good due a personality test. Turns out I wasn’t a “natural” sales person, but I studied it as a skill and was able to read people and do well.

      Absolutely nobody believed I would be good at sales when they put me in that position, they just thought it was low-risk because we made most of our money on commission And I'm really not exaggerating when I say I was the best sales rep they had

      Like my average weekly revenue was easily 2x-3x the next highest person's It was insane *I* didn't expect that to happen and it's the main reason I spent so long in that job even though I was miserable all the time

      And the particular kind of miserable really sticks out to me in my memory Like I'd be lying if I said it didn't *feel good* to break a weekly or monthly sales record, or it didn't *feel good* in the moment to close a sale at all Every one of them felt good

      But it was a very fleeting high that immediately had the feeling of "Okay, so the fuck what, the next potential sale is coming down the pike and you might miss it if you get lazy" tingling in the back of my mind Like, well, like being addicted to a video game or something

          If I wanted to be an inspirational speaker at a sales seminar, which I could, having the record at the time to do so and having attended more than a few of them unwillingly, I could've spun that as a positive "Treat every deal like it could be your very last", etc.

          Being driven by fear, and channeling that fear into performance Which as we all know is the Way of the Sith
