Jason shares that when he wrote the book Leadership Sales Coaching many years ago, he took the philosophy that a salesperson is an athlete, and should be coached like an athlete not managed like an employee. 

There are circumstances in life, and then there's the meaning we give it. Whatever charge you have in your life that's kind of holding you back, you're putting too much meaning into it, we've got to let go of that charge.

A warrior always finds the advantage. And so what's the advantage that I can do here? How can I leverage it? You know, how can I change my thinking around this?  I think that's the message everyone needs to hear is whatever, whatever charge you have in your life that's kind of holding you back, you're putting too much meaning to it, you know, we've got to let go of that charge.

P equals K minus L. So performance is what we do. Knowledge is what we've been taught to do. But then you have to minus out the leashes.

The second type of leash is a story. So a story is anything that you kind of blame on outside circumstances or something outside of yourself.

Because the power of duplication that is it? Is that what you do over and over again, you desensitize yourself with it?
