How to change your life FAST by changing your environment & How it helped me grow my clients’ revenues to 7-figures.
When I reflect back to starting out as a sales person, I didn’t think it would come to a full time business such as my Trusted Sales Academy is today, and I always try to learn a new thing or two by observing it objectively.
Cause I used to be an entirely different person in 2013, back when I started with entrepreneurship.
At the time I thought the best way for me to be successful in life was to climb the corporate ladder and eventually…maybe… one day… if I worked hard enough, and made enough sacrifices - get to the top of a big company.
When you spend most of your time in an environment where you’re uninspired by what you’re doing on a day to day basis, like a grey office away from home for several days a week you form bad habits.
I worked really hard to build my department, but I was not living a true life of success. I did not prioritize myself at all, and I gave everything to everyone else.
So..
After working so hard and building my memberships division (for my boss) to over 500 members, I was kicked out and thrown to the wolves. But I didn’t learn my lesson. I did it again for another 8 years in another company, generating almost $55 million for them and their clients.
Slowly in 2016, on the side, I started my own business, and back then it had no name, and today it is the Trusted Sales Academy. I also gave tonnes of advice to over 5,000 entrepreneurs on how to improve the value of their time, and increase their revenue. I loved it.
I eventually worked out that I keep helping these large companies to make more money, but in fact what I really cared about was helping smaller companies to also have a shot at improving their sales and revenue.
Every single time I meet with a new client it takes me back to those conversations. It’s just an amazing feeling. AND…I feel really excited about growing the Trusted Sales Academy now, using all my knowledge and skills from making large companies MILLIONS, to putting it into a way that can be used by EVERY entrepreneur.
I just couldn’t figure out why I did not make this jump earlier, but now I know why as I didn’t have the awareness of how huge of a role the environment actually is, and how it changed everything, when I finally figured out that I needed to take control of my own environment.
Essentially most people I speak with and including myself, try to change as a person entirely ( routine, habit, interest wise etc. ) in the same environment we’ve been our ‘’old-selves'’ in for years or decades.
This is the most common form of self-sabotage which occurs automatically, where will-power just doesn’t cut it, no matter how hard you try...
Once I started reflecting back on what contributed massively to my transformation, changing my environment was a huge one.
March 2024, I joined a mentorship program and started surrounding myself with other people all on the same journey and that’s where I attribute most towards my growth, by changing my environment.
Because of that environment, I was recently encouraged to put all my knowledge and skills together into a new model, no longer working with just large corporations, but opening up to help every entrepreneur.
If you’re an entrepreneur, changing your environment and the people around you while trying to become your ‘’new-self’’ is huge.
You don’t have to go to a different country, you can simply start by paying attention to where you’re working and who you’re spending time with.
Are they lifting you up in life and helping you to drive forwards, or do they try to drag you back down to earth and crush your dreams?
If you find you’re uninspired by your environment, find somewhere else to work.
If you find yourself surrounded by people who don’t support your ambitions, find other people to hang out with. People who have got your back and encourage you instead of telling you to settle.
Hope this was valuable to you!
