Why I Didn't Succeed in Sales

Why I Didn't Succeed in Sales

Posted by Trixie Ricablanca

It's no secret that I had been a real estate salesperson for sometime before and had quit being one. I always thought I loved it. Yes, I did love it but anyhow, my quitting all boils down to one reason: My passion is not in sales.

Yes, I have interest in houses, going out of towns, the idea of being in the real estate field, I loved the idea that I was able to meet new people and learn from them. but at the end of the day, I think there is something missing. I was interested to know something about it but I am not passionate about it. 

The motivation is all about the money and every time I get to think I don't get monetary gains, I really get frustrated. I just realized that its not the right equation for success. If money is the only thing can motivate you to do those things, you won't be happy for so long. You'll long for fulfillment and soon, you will still choose to do a thing not because you are paid but because you love doing it. 

Yes, I still wanted to have my own business but up until now, I still don't know how to start, however, I am always dreaming of having one that is somehow related to my passion. I know too that, I am technically still not yet successful, but I know for sure that I am on the right track because  I am able to do what I love, on the side of working full time. As one blogger said in one of her magazine features, "Don't be afraid to redefine success in your own terms." - @alessandralanot of Life After Breakfast. Which has been very inspirational for me. 

Key Lesson for the day: If you feel unfulfilled, never stop trying . Do things you thought you love or interested in. Sure you'd be heart broken for a number of times, can fail more than once, nevertheless, don't stop searching. All those failures will be worth it!
