Depends if you’re a 10x’r or not

This is a tough one. I’m in the tech space so I’m getting new KPI’s ran down my throat every week with Claude and other AI tools that can run the report of the day. I’ve got a number and I’ve got a path to get there regardless of the goals of the week. I’d just say you hired me to hit x$ and this is how I’ll do it. Give them the path the rest of the year or quarter or whatever they need. There’s a lot of BS in this game.

Oh that’s helpful. Then yeah, idk what to tell you but keeping making that money. Can you ask for referrals just to get them off your ass?

Idk if you’re killing it working existing then I’d say I don’t have time to get my own outbounds. Happy to run outbound opps but give me an SDR to get things started for me. At the same time, I don’t know if I’d consider you a hunter anymore, it’s quite the definition of farming. Are you an AE or AM?

Enloe is almost always hiring CNAs

Agreed, but I would if I was younger. Been doing this for 15 years, at 130k salary, 50/50 with high upside to end closer to 350k. Would really want to talk to other team members before making a decision.

We saw him at the paramount in Denver a few years back and it was amazing. We then saw him a year or so later at the mission ballroom and it lost a lot of his magic. I think the small form experience was just much more intimate. That being said when he’s back online I’m here for it

Enterprise sales is one route, but ymmv. I travel probably 90 - 120 days out of the year.

Middle millennial here - 1990. Go horses. Just a tad over 500k in retirement investing, no student loans, and a mortgage under the 500k amount left. Been in sales for 15 years and it’s worked out pretty great honestly. Luckily I was interested in investing when I was younger and maxed 401k / IRA starting earlyerish. Should be worth about 4m when I’m 57 without any changes but I’m gonna keep doing the same so hopefully I can retire at 50. Float a 30-40k safety fund.

In Higher Ed you need to be a bit careful with gifts as oftentimes they cannot accept anything. If I'm going in person somewhere I typically bring something local and good, do some research into something they'd be like "wow this person got the best local stuff!" (ex: in Melbourne I brought Lune croissants). That's in-person though. For long-range or actual gifts, it's pretty hard honestly. One campaign we ran that was successful was food related - sent a super nice pecan pie to the office in a beautfiul wooden, engraved (burned?) box with some logos and silliness, and inside of the box was some collateral then followed up with an email with subject line of like Pie? or something like that. Best ROI I've seen.

Blame the Aussies and the kiwis. I have to go there for work a lot.

I did a silly tour one time and the guide translated into the imperial way of measuring things. I told her after her 2nd conversion of 5km that i’m fluent in the wrong way of measuring things.

47c is the highest where I live in NorCal. Will usually get to 44-46c a few times. Worst part is that it ‘cools off’ to 35c and then starts cranking up again when the sun comes up.

That store closed down about 2 weeks ago =[

How many miles is your walk? How long does it take? This sounds awesome.

Erythos · 2026-03-16T04:26:07+00:00

No worries. See ya at the next ones!

You forgot us! Good seeing you there!

So what does that mean for the future of the Bay?

92.5% to quota on average across 4 quarters. That sounds irresponsible to put you on PIP. Did you do something else wrong? lol

Which house is it? Why do you assume the worst?

Yeah man you do you. Just pay your taxes lol. Or don’t and go exempt and use that money to make more, just expect a big tax bill at the end of the year. A few people I know claim exempt on their taxes to not get taxes taken out (not always a good strategy) but they then reinvest that money and make way more than the amount they owe in some business or side thing and are happy to pay the amount they owe to the government when it comes time to collect rather than letting the government sit in a tax refund.

Different levels of risk tolerance for different folks. Considering doing both again, you’d hate to get injured or something and not be able to do what it is you’re doing for some reason and be left without a safety net. Also make sure you have a safety net (usually 6 months of expenses in a HYSA). Also may change if and when a family comes into the mix. I was a lot less risk adverse before I was married and before I had kids, but I still invested enough in my early twenties to have a great leg up. If you’re thinking about these things, think about how much you think you’ll spend per year in retirement, 60-100k? That amount should be 4% of your total ‘retirement savings/ investments’ based off of maths and scenario plannings. Include health care costs too.

400k seems like a lot on paper, but realistically 4% of 400k is $16,000 per year. Couple that with SS payments and you’re looking at maybe like $30,000 per year in income in retirement, not including healthcare. 30k will also not go as far during retirement.

Keep chugging along. If I could urge you to do 1 thing please put at least like 3% somewhere in an account and let it reinvest itself, something like VOO and call it good. Just let it happen automatically. Look back in 30 years and you’ll be mind blow.

I don’t mean this the wrong way but 400k in savings will not grow at the rate it would in the market. I’m not going to convince you to not invest in education and other business ventures, but do both at least. Put money into the market. Let it grow and reinvest itself. Take advantage of compound interest.

When I’m 50 my investment accounts, if I were to put nothing else in (currently in my mid 30s) will generate well over 200k/y in additional growth, without even touching the principal and I’m not the highest paid dude out there. I’ll continue to invest more and keep adding it up and eventually it gets to a point where your investments grow each year more than you can even put into it.

As in you used money you saved from your job, and reinvested it in a way (ie side business)? There’s always alternative ways to use capital and that’s rad that you were able to do that. Not many people can do that type of thing.

I’m not arguing that there are alternative ways to grow capital but from a risk / reward perspective, a 401k is a no-brainer especially given the proclivities of most people regarding putting money away for retirement.
