Showing results for "The Inner CEO" in Career Success

Juggling exhausting workdays, managing kids at home, and giving your relationships more attention than you give yourself is a recipe for misery. Instead of enjoying the fruits of your labor, you feel tired, unhealthy, and joyless. Fortune 500 sales executive Becca Powers knows this feeling all too well. Having overworked herself into autoimmune disease and anxiety disorders, her self-worth plummeted. She was missing out on motherhood by prioritizing her career first.

Managers can’t teach a mindset. Only the salesperson can learn it, master it, and arm themselves with it each day. You may hear the word “mindset” and remember empty "positive thinking" exercises. Such exercises lead underperformers to stand in their underwear, eyes bulging, and yell at their mirrors every morning, swearing up and down that “This is the day” they make $10 million. Affirmations have their benefits, but they rarely deliver black-and-white results.
