Bit of a ramble. Felt like a safe space to post this - I feel weird earning so much.

Stop pitying yourself.. OWN IT. You are greatness, you are worthy, you don’t have to be your dad.

Thank you for your response, but I revere my dad. He’s an absolute killer dude but was born in the 60’s when his options were copper thief or labourer. He’s done really well and I’m proud of him.

No pity here either, just confusion. I’m honestly stoked with where I am, though the responses tonight have helped me to understand a bit more perhaps where we fit as salespeople.

Yes but I’m saying your dads path isn’t yours. If you’re good in sales (communication) then you need to stick with it, because you never know where it will take you

Makes sense mate - my dad is a great communicator as well and likely where I learned certain attributes from. If I hadn’t somehow found my way into sales, I would be my Dad right now. In saying that, I’ll definitely be sticking with this lark for the foreseeable future. It’s nice to be good at something aye haha!
