Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

Success is supposed to be the goal. But for a lot of salespeople, it becomes the thing that unravels everything they built. Once you hit the leaderboard, start crushing your number, and get comfortable, success starts whispering that you've earned a break — that the fundamentals that got you there are optional now. That's where the danger lives.
In this Money Monday, Jeb Blount breaks down why comfort and complacency are the natural enemies of sustained success, what elite athletes like Kobe Bryant, Jerry Rice, and Tom Brady understood that most people miss, and how to do an honest success audit so you can find your hunger again before the wheels come off.
