In enterprise software sales, you're paired with a field account executive.

These are often the MOST tenured account executives. They have a 6 figure base and their years ride or die on deals closed.

These guys are sharks.

They're not loyal to the company, loyal to CASH only.
These guys work at home and set their own hours.

They work on MASSIVE enterprise accounts, fortune 500.

The first time I met my field, he was giving me all sorts of advice as to when to leave the company and how to come back and get paid more.

He told me his whole playbook.
I asked him what advice he'd give his former self if he was my age in my position.

He looked down and paused for a moment.

As he looked up, I saw the look of regret in his eyes.

It was a look that I'll probably never forget in my life.
He told me that he wish he took more risks while he was younger.

He said that he wishes every day that he started a business before he had major responsibilities and was 15 years into a lucrative career.

He felt like he couldn't leave what he invested all of those years into.
I'm 25.

I'm no life coach, but one thing that I've learned from observing these "successful" corporate employees is that you only live one life.

Decide what you want and go after it with everything you have, because the worst thing you can do is look back with regret.
