1) Redefine “satisfaction.” For the Sales Entrepreneur, there is no finish line. Success and profitability come and stay for a while but, like life itself, nothing is permanent. Not only is change necessary, it's the driving factor and the motivator.
The Sales Entrepreneur is cursed with a unique form of unhappiness (for lack of a different term). He/she envisions, plans for, embraces and engages change, and it works...for a while.
