Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Hey guys, so if currently right now you feel like you're broke, or let's say you've been working your nine to five for the past few years and you're like, dude, I'm not making enough money. Trust me. I've been there. Let's go ahead and start off with one of the first careers that I ever did, which was sales guys. I'm going to tell you something right now. I just turned 36 a few months ago. And I could tell you that sales is the number one

skillset that you can learn to actually make the most money, okay? Out of the three careers that I've currently had now at the age of 36, which I was in corporate America, I was in law enforcement, and I'm a full-time entrepreneur. Sales is what allowed me to actually level up in all three careers, guys. Because when you really think about it, you're always selling to someone. When you go to the doctors, the doctor is selling you on what medicine or what medication you actually got to go and use, right? To cure whatever it is you have. When you go to the mechanic, guess what?

The mechanic is going ahead and diagnosing your car and then saying, hey, this is what is recommended for you to actually change in your car, right? And then they tell you, oh yeah, the set of tires is going to cost you another $1,500. And you're like, oh shit, right? Everyone is selling guys. So at the end of the day, sales is the number one skill set. But before you focus on sales, you have to have your mindset right. And what do I mean by that? You actually have to have a winning mindset, guys. You have to have a winning mindset. And everybody's like, dude, how is it that you went from being in corporate America to

being a cop to actually being an entrepreneur? And guys, it all comes down to mindset. I know it sounds cliche, but if I was to tell you my story starting from humble beginnings, guys, I barely knew what I wanted to do when I got out of high school. I got a job at 21. My first serious job, I was a nightclub promoter at 18, but it was inconsistent. There was holidays where I would make $30,000 in one night guys, because holiday events. But then there was other days where I wouldn't make any money. It just depends on how many people you're able to bring to the club. And when I first started my first job,

I started with this cleaning chemical company called Ecolab. Probably a lot of you guys know, probably your dad's worked there, your mom's worked there. I mean, it's a huge company. It's a billion dollar company now. But when I started there, I started as a glorified dish machine salesman. Okay. So I started bottom of the barrel. Used to wear this ugly white and blue uniform, guys. But I was happy.

I was happy because it was my first job. It was commission based. And I started making a little bit of money. And my vision for myself was to actually level up through the company and actually get promoted as a sales manager. And within the first year, I actually had so much enthusiasm. I was so optimistic that my supervisors actually saw that. They saw the potential inside of me. So they actually gave me the opportunity to actually get promoted within the company. Five years in the company, I was a district sales manager, guys.

I had my own team. I was making six figures. I had my own condo and I was living life. And it wasn't until the next part of my life where I'm going to share with you guys on the next episode. But in the next episode of my life, I ended up making over $250,000. And it all started with just having a winning mindset. So hope this helps you out, guys.

I'll catch you guys on the next one. Remember, I always have your six. Make sure to share this episode with your family, friends, and anyone you care about.
