Nugget #11 - Surround yourself with people as hungry as you.

In my first sales job I sat next to my now best friend Joey Cohen. We developed a radically candid communication style with each other.

We heard everything we did. If either of us botched an opening, we’d say something and share constructive feedback. It made us better. That’s why we were both the best sellers on our team over time.

I’m not a religous proponent to in-office or remote work, but I know one thing: it’s easier to intuitively learn how people execute their job when in office.

When it comes to feeling the energy of people around you, learning for yourself how to absorb the behaviors of top performers getting into physical proximity is the best way to do it. We are still human beings after all.

Get yourself a Joey Cohen. You will thank yourself.
