I’m wondering and I believe others may find value from answers to this question as well.
I came across an “opportunity” to work a sales job for a local entrepreneur who I look up to.
Although, there’s something holding me back from going after it -
My goal is a fast lane business
I don’t need the money immediately
The only reason I’d do it would be for skill aquisition.
I feel like I wouldn’t have a lot of time during the day to work on my YouTube channel, marketing services (thumbnail creation, web design (just started learning), tiktok marketing for businesses, etc.
Basically, what I’m trying to ask is would I be wasting my time taking this sales job? Is marketing and selling my own services the better way to go? Or is it a better idea to go and work under an established entrepreneur in an office sales job to get sales experience?
I’ve had opportunities like this before and I’m just starting to really get into getting skills and marketing my own products for real. But I’m very scared of wasting my time.
Thanks guys
