I think most of us will remember this classic hilarious scene from Tommy Boy where he, in great detail, explains why he sucks as a salesman.
Once he lays it out and destroys the biscuit, two things happens.
1. He changes the waitresses mind.
2. The explaining opened him up to the solution to his problem.
It turns out he didn’t suck as a salesman…he was just doing it wrong.
He had all the tools, he was just using the wrong ones at the right time.
But ‘I suck as a salesman’ was the trigger for becoming a great one.
‘I am an ok salesman’ wouldn’t have triggered such a change.
It might be time to say out loud that you suck at…..
That way it’ll change.
