“Focus on what's in front of you— the principle, the task, or the message being communicated.” - Marcus Aurelius

Whether big or small, every task reflects your character.

Small actions shape who you are, so approach each one with diligence. If you cut corners on routine tasks, that mindset will carry over into your major deals.

Excellence isn’t a one-time effort; it’s a habit.

Like Tom Brady’s commitment to every practice, consistency in the fundamentals lays the foundation for success.

How you do one thing is how you do everything.

Actionable tips:

• Don’t just bring your A-game to high-stakes meetings. Make every interaction a quality one, whether it's a quick email response or a call with a cold lead.
• Focus on the basics that often get overlooked: follow-ups, CRM updates, and personal development. Consistently executing these "boring" tasks will make you more effective in the long run.

Remember you will die.

The Sales Stoic draws inspiration from the profound wisdom of Stoicism as presented in Ryan Holiday's "The Daily Stoic." As avid readers & fans, we deeply respect the work of Ryan Holiday, and acknowledge the significant impact of Stoic philosophy on our own approach to sales and life.

While The Sales Stoic applies the core principles of Stoicism to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by salespeople, it is an original work with its own distinct voice and focus. We aim to build upon the timeless wisdom of Stoicism to empower sales professionals with practical guidance and actionable insights for success in their careers and personal lives.
