I often talk about this idea of ‘getting caught up in the shiny objects’. It’s one of the biggest reasons startups mishire and where so many salespeople take left turns when they should be going straight ahead.

In the SaaS world of fast-paced business, startups, sales, and growth, it’s easy to lose perspective on what really matters.

The clearer and more real I am with myself, the better my mind works, and the better I can lead or create a sales strategy that works.

I have a methodology and a workflow that I use daily. A key part of that is journaling. It’s had an immense effect on my mindset, sales process, decision-making ability, and clear-headedness.

While it may sound cliche, it’s part of my secret sauce and has yet to let me down.

The benefits of journaling are diverse and well-documented:

  • Boosting mindfulness
  • Intentionality
  • Memory
  • Understanding why
  • The ability to work through challenges faster
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Valuable lessons learned

And the list goes on…
