38 sales reps building businesses w/ W2
The unfair advantage of being a sales rep
Sales reps have an unfair advantage starting businesses while working a W2.
Think about it. You’re stacked with upside and can hedge all your downside.
→ high income
→ time flexibility / unlimited PTO
→ negotiating w/ business owners
→ competitive environment
→ skills training
It’s kind of like living at home and working full-time for the first 2 years of college.
Yeah, it totally sucks. It’s a lot of sacrifice and hard work.
But totally worth it looking back.
The upside is that you can create wealth, keep 100% of what you sell, become independent, and have a creative outlet.
This is a special group, over the next few years, they will go on to build awesome things all thanks to sales.
Watch close.
