Lost Motivation// Needs Advice
I’ve been a top sales rep for as long as I can remember, but recently, something changed. It’s not just about missing targets or lacking energy—it’s something deeper. Over time, I’ve realized my passion for sales has faded, and it feels like I’m just coasting, doing enough to not get fired. And I’m not sure when it happened, but the spark is gone.
It’s not just about numbers. There’s a pattern I’ve fallen into, one that’s tied to trauma and a toxic work environment. I was raped last year and I was constant bullying from a boss who told me I could “live off my base” has weighed me down. It’s not the same anymore—it’s hard to push through when your self-esteem is shattered, and the motivation just doesn’t seem to exist the way it used to.
I know I’ve always been capable of so much more, but right now, the desire to hit commission isn’t there. It’s not about money or targets. It’s about something much more personal. A sense of worth. A belief in myself that’s been knocked down by things I can’t control, and now, I find myself stuck in this cycle of doing just enough to survive, not thrive.
