[Thread]: Best thing I did while employed
From 2016 I held my last ever corporate job
I worked for the biggest telecom company in Canada
2016-2018, I was a territory sales manager, and had to be in the office 1 day a week

Rest of the time I was home/on the road
Managing 3 sales channels:
-50+ retail stores
-Small telemarketing team (which I "invented" based on my prior experience leading a 200-person contact centre)
-Small door to door sales team

My Sales VP was a BEAST
Hardest guy I ever worked for, he was highly strategic and ruthless
Not how I lead my people, but I learned a lot from him and he treated me "special" because I drove more more revenue than anyone else
Colleagues were "jealous" he was nicer to me

Sometime in 2017 I learned about online business, originally through ecom then info-products
I started dabbling in both, but I was all over the place with shiny object syndrome

In 2018 I decided I wanted to work from home all the time so I could focus on online biz
At the time I was working 60-70 hours not including travel time
Was making about 150K, so hourly wage wasn't that good, I knew I would do much better running my own thing eventualy

I found an opening in marketing
I pulled some strings and not only got the job... I negotiated a "secret" work from home arrangement
This was *unheard of* at my company.
But I showed I drove better results than any of my peers... and was willing to shave my pay by almost 50%

So my boss and her boss kept a secret
I was home all the time, telling people in office A I was in office B, and telling people in office B I was in office A
In about 14 months, I spend maybe 10 days in the office, LOL

But now... I was at home full time
So I got serious about my own biz
I made it a point to always respond fast and drive killer results

My boss knew I wouldn't be around for a long-time, but she was very supportive
In fact, we may do a biz together in the future
Anyway, while I was running national marketing campaigns, I was able to get all my work done in about 25 hours a week

Guess what I did with the rest of my time?
I learned copywriting, I improved my sales skills (much love to @ROGUEWEALTH) and identified Dental as my first niche

I found a dentist in my FAR network...
My wife's friend's ex-BF
Who was willing to give me a $6000 ad budget
(I worked for free)

So I went to work
Researched the market to DEATH
And ended up creating my first successful funnel
From 6K in ad spend, we returned 35K in revenue

I had money, so I started running paid traffic (facebook ads) to get discovery calls
After I signed my first paid client
I quit my job

Then I joined an elite marketing mastermind
Invested 10K to level up
