Love the problems of your career

Every career has a set of problems that comes with it. The key to success, I believe, is being in love with the problems you're going to be solving on a regular basis.

Running a business, being a consultant, running an independent show: they all have two consistent factors, sales and solving problems.

Your sales process

Think about the sales process of the business you're in. Does it require hand to hand? Does it require you validating a spreadsheet every day to sell online? What is your sales process? That's where you're going to be focusing a lot of your time.

And the problems

The second point is, what problems come with it? Delays in distribution. Unhappy customers.

If you love the sales process and the problems that come up, you'll be successful forever, because you'll happily do it every day.
