My Biggest Trigger as a Top Producer in Sales

I made half a million dollars a year as a financial advisor. I was a nine time Million Dollar Round Table qualifier. And every time a client backed out of a deal, my hands would shake and I'd have to go home and fall apart in private. This episode is about survival mode, the world's greatest disguise. It looks like ambition and drive and someone who has it all together. Underneath, for me, it was one hundred percent terror, and it started long before I ever sat down at a sales desk. I walk through my childhood as a Russian immigrant during the Cold War, the core belief I carried that something was fundamentally wrong with me, and how that belief quietly became the engine behind every number I hit as a top producer. I also share the year everything fell apart, the year I call bagels, Bud, and breakthroughs, and the single question that changed the entire trajectory of my life. In This Episode: Why financial security is a basic human need, not a personal weakness, according to Dr. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs How childhood experiences and even inherited family trauma get wired into your nervous system as your drive to achieve The difference between drive that energizes you and terror that drains you, and how to tell which one is running your life What happened the day I fell into second place and woke up with hives on my face The one question that began my healing journey after losing my job and my income: who am I when I'm not making any money FOLLOW ME 👇🏼   / violetrai...​   facebook.com/groups/1022556574829414   / therainmake.  .
