Resources to Start Winning Again When the World Is Against You

May 7, 2019 by Todd Liles

John quickly walked to his truck. He cut through the grass instead of using the drive. His sales binder was under his left arm and with his right hand, he fumbled for his keys. As he pulled the keys out of his pocket, they slipped to the ground. “Dammit!” John bent over to grab his keys, and his papers slid out of his binder. “&*@^!” He kicked at the papers and managed to rack his shin on the runner of the truck.

“That’s it! I’m done. This &*@^ sucks, and people &*@^ suck!”

John slumped into the seat of his truck. He should be calling in to give his debrief, but he wasn’t ready. He didn’t want to hear the voice on the other side. “She sucks too!” he thought. “The whole world sucks.”

John has reached a very low point in his life.

John was once a million-dollar producer. “A Champion!”  But this year has been different for John. He’s had one too many setbacks too close together. It started with a divorce. Then a change in leadership at his company. And now, John’s little girl doesn’t even want to come over during John’s visitation weekend. “I don’t blame her. I’ve become a real &@^$.”

John has lost his way. His confidence is gone, and he believes that the world is a cold place.

John is thinking about running away from his current life. Just pulling up stakes and going anywhere but here. “Right now, I’d be happy just hiding away on some old friend’s couch.”

If John quits now, then he will get a few brief moments of relief. After a small passing of time, the relief will give way to greater hardships.

If John keeps doing what he’s doing, then his life will only get worse.

What John needs is a change in his mindset. He needs to get his mojo back. John needs to find a way to start winning again!
