Looking to sacrifice about 3 years of my life to sales because:
1. I don't have a college education, so sales is probably the highest earning potential job I could get
2. Sales is a skill I want to get very good at, because it will be useful no matter what I decide to do after this 3 year sprint
3. I want to get around other competitive-minded people
Looking to work for TQL specifically because:
1. High-pressure environment
2. B2B sales (much more in line with my personality)
3. Office setting = high productivity
Would go door-to-door and pitch people on free roofing inspections

2. How to trust the process
3. That sales is the place for me

I did manual labor (digging trenches) for 50-60 hours / week during my spring, summer, and winter breaks for both my Junior and Senior years of high school
