Half dozen decisions will determine where you end up in life! On this day, as I celebrate the 46th anniversary of my foray into the car business, I’m drawn back to a pivotal moment in 1977. It was September 10th, and I had just enjoyed an exhilarating start at Marietta Dodge, clinching two sales and pocketing a $600 commission. As the month drew to a close, the accolade of 'Salesman of the Month' was a cherry on top. But as October rolled in, a call from IBM — where I'd interviewed just before embarking on my auto-sales adventure — posed a significant crossroads. They had a sales territory, previously discussed, now available for me. I stood before one of those crucial 'half dozen decisions' that life occasionally presents, the kind that unveils our true North Star in due course. It was a choice between the well-trodden path of IBM or the passionate drive of automobile sales. Trusting my gut, I chose the road that felt right. Years deep into this voyage, I realized it was less about cars and more about discovering my authentic purpose. Now, 46 years on, every handshake, every class I conduct, and every mentee I guide further cements the knowledge that I chose wisely. Every significant milestone in our lives often stems from one of those six pivotal decisions. So, as I take a moment to commemorate this journey, I ask you: Have you encountered moments where your heart's passion overruled practicality? Embrace and cherish those moments, for they guide you to your true North Star. #LeasingIsForClosers #Leasing #NVLA #TLMODA #NAMAD #NADA #Sales #IsTheJuiceWorthTheSqueeze

I Help CEOs & Owners Grow Revenue From $0 To $350M ARR & Transform @13.25% CMGR | Business Dev (CBDO), Commercial (CCO), Growth (CGO), Marketing (CMO), Product (CPO), Revenue (CRO), Sales (CSO), & Strategy (CSO) Officer
CHAPTER 23A - THE INADVERTENT MIDLIFE CRISIS, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES = MY FRIEND, SELF-IMPOSED EXILE, WORKING IN A WAREHOUSE, & REBUILDING POST DIVORCE I loved my Nissan team. We created a successful program from scratch, using Ford dealer complaints to build Nissan's offering right. I am still grateful to Jonathan Y. for enabling our success. But leaving Nissan was a mistake. My faith I thought led me to pursue my career dreams, so when Chrysler offered near 2x the compensation & a return to field sales & dealers, I seized the opportunity, getting a colonial in Orlando to live in. I worked on payments, ads, media, strategy, events, incentives, contests, & sponsorships, falling in love with the product. I was glad to be broader than digital retail. I met the then sole US Alfa Romeo employee (it was pre-relaunch). Little did I know I was led for different learning: the importance of family. It was a lonely experience, having left my kids behind in Nashville. I flew home every 2 weeks, relying on Southwest for the short trip. Chrysler's office was in an Orlando parts warehouse on Boggy Creek Rd, aptly named for the swampy surroundings. Despite the lucrative job, I was miserable, disconnected from my kids. The environment was far from ideal. The bi-weekly flights weren't enough to alleviate my longing for my children. Our leader, a brilliant micromanager who had endured the contest & incentive director job 2x during Chrysler's bankruptcy, rightly demanded perfection from the new guy who hadn't lived his same hell. Despite our similarities, the situation given my context was untenable. An in-office agency supervisor said she almost walked out when she got there, she could barely cut the office vibe with a knife. My grief simply didn't mix. One dealer, trying to curry favor, insisted on carrying my briefcase, hoping to secure an outsized share of my budget. I found him prostrating himself before me distasteful, as I was committed to helping all dealers & customers, not one. When my 7-yr old came Christmas 2011, his tearful 2012 goodbye wailing out my folks' car window down the block confirmed in my heart that my time at Chrysler had to end. Thankfully, months later, a friend pulled me back to Nashville into the big data world. Eric Brown's generosity & interest in me were lifesaving. I gained new opportunities, & helped service automotive accounts & prospects. Most importantly, I was reunited with my kids, eliminating the need for that painful separation & then bi-weekly flight from Nashville to Orlando. Despite seeing the Disney fireworks from the air just before landing every other Sunday, the cognitive dissonance of such a beautiful display & my grief on returning were irreconcilable. Have you ever made life-altering decisions that have dramatically changed your journey, & those of your beloveds? Did they impact your worklife? Career? Looking back, how do you perceive them now? #job #drive #family #opentowork #sales #marketing #field #cars

Can count on one 🖐️ when I’ve played hooky at work. 🔹 29yrs ago when had first real job. Went to Chili’s in EP with two other coworkers. Me and day drinking, no bueno. Never went back to work. All lied to our boss. Sorry Scott Birtles. One of the many times where you never fired me and kept giving me chances. You were a big influence on me to give those diamonds in the rough a chance. Though, I was terrible at chances and would be quick to get rid of. 🔷 Early Shamrock days. Went in after a crazy prior night day before. Notice themes 🥃 in my past. I was a slow learner. Back to story. Had an oh crap, I’m going to... 🤢 slowly got up and told my processor I’d be back. Didn’t make it far down Rte 44 Seekonk and whole middle console covered 🤮 somehow managed a few days later to get BMW to fix the “electrical issue” under warranty. Sorry to whomever was the auto tech 🔹 today - finished my training, posted my goofy selfie, and took Zoe for a walk. Took a walk down a street have never been on in the whole 18 years that I’ve lived in my neighborhood. Maybe it’s a metaphor, but figured before I’d go all in with work, I needed to explore new roads. Change my way of thinking. Change is never easy, yet it’s the most constant thing there is. Looking forward to changing it up and to evolving. #onward #newbeginnings

If life's not going how you planned, don't worry, there's a bigger plan. Early in my career, I was fascinated by public speaking but didn't get many chances to explore it. My first time speaking was in a temple, talking to a bunch of people, including my family. I tried selling marbles and flooring goods for a business idea, but it didn't work out. I wanted to go to a better college, but my grades held me back. Then, I got a job at a big company, but they didn't pay me what I deserved - you know, the whole "naam bade aur darshan chhote" thing. Later, I joined Ford Motors, and things were good. I even survived the 2008 financial crisis. After some years, I discovered I enjoyed natural public speaking. So, I started giving talks about my experiences. Having fun with it, I decided to quit my job at Ford and start my own company. But then COVID hit, and my plans got paused. Ford even had to shut down because of it. Next, I needed funds for my business. After facing many rejections and questions, I sharpened my skills and got the funding. Currently, I'm working on my product and moving forward. ........... Life won't always go as planned, but that's what makes it an adventure. Don't dwell on the past or blame circumstances. Be ready for failures, falls, but most importantly, be ready to get back up. For a smoother ride through life, take one day at a time.
