This is THE #HeadTrash episode
#PaulLanigan is a failed software engineer, failed salesman, raconteur, photographer, film maker, confused father, middling husband and all round good egg. He is the author of SoftTalesHardAsses and the longest serving international #Sandler Franchisee. I first came across Paul in 2003
We discuss head trash in all its glory - attachment, demotivation, limiting beliefs, mismanagement - and our journeys through it, facing it today and the work we do with our clients to help them through theirs.
If I'm being honest, I quickly realised the best way to deal with my own head trash was to find someone who was just as messed up as me in a particular area of sales, and then get paid to fix us both. Turns out this is a good business model. I want to thank all of my early client in particular for the lessons you taught me and the help you afforded me to better understand the human condition, and for funding my decadent lifestyle.
Paul and I argue about whether it is possible to motivate anyone to do anything, ever. I say so. He says yes. What do you think? (Hint - he's wrong)
Paul draws a very interesting parallel between excellence in sales and excellence in photography. If you've not come across a very special blog #HumansOfNewYork, check it out.
This episode has a bit of rum language and the recording quality is not great because my broadband at the office has plummeted to 0.2Mb upload speed and Paul proved why he should have left IT development by his own technical ineptitude. Sorry about that. The content is still fantastic and you'll be an absolute cretin not to listen to the end. Get stuck in. Comment. Subscribe. Share.
