Tim Cole Today’s discussion places its focus on younger sellers, specifically how to prevent burnout as a millennials seller. But older sellers can benefit from this too.

Tim Cole is an award-winning CEO. He has helped launch 20 new brands to the market and has been instrumental in 6 legitimate blockbusters. A key player in the pharmaceutical industry, he has a book released recently called The Compass Solution: A Guide to Winning Your Career.

Here are the highlights of my conversation with Tim:

The Need for Overcoming Burnout

71% of millennials are disengaged from their jobs. They don’t want to be there and are looking for a place to go other than where they’re at.

You need to find something that can give you purpose and direction.

Tim describes burnout as a deteriorating process for people losing a sense of purpose leading them to lose their way until they’re no longer inspired. They deteriorate to full disengagement until they burn out.

Tips to Avoid Burnout:

1. Find something you’re passionate about.

2. Find something that you have some degree of attitude and skill around.

Practical tips to avoid burnout.

1. Exercise

Go to the gym and exercise for the rest of your life. Keep yourself in good physical shape and commit to that shape from that point forward. Assume that if your body deteriorates, your mind will too and ultimately your job.

2. Social Network

Have a strong social network. Have a group of friends you can confide in that can give you a strong network away from the job.

3. Family

4. Hobbies

Do things that occupy you away from your job.

Resilience

Have an iron jaw.

How to avoid being complacent:

  • Never allow yourself to settle in a comfort zone.
  • What else can you do make yourself better?
  • Do something more!

Tim’s Major Takeaway:

Never stop learning. Never assume you’ve figured things out. Challenge yourself every day to continue to evolve. If you commit to learning, you will eventually adapt to whatever the circumstances are and you’ll overcome them.
