[Intro]

Hey. Welcome back to another episode of Sell Without Selling. I am your host, Stacey O’Byrne and I believe that learning the art and the science of how to sell without selling is the only way to achieve high six and seven figure success.

Today I am speaking with a really good friend of mine, Josh Neihaus. [Intro for Guest]

I am really excited to get into today’s episode. Really quick, if you are a business owner, entrepreneur, or sales professional, and you haven’t hit the level of success that you wanted or needed, or if you’re stuck and needing a pivot in your business, in your success – or maybe you just want more, and you understand the importance of having a coach to help identify the blind spots, increase accountability, and help with success strategies to take you, your business, your income, and your success to the next level – if this sounds like something for you, then head over to pivotpointadvantage.com/IWantSuccess.

Stacey: Josh, welcome to the show.

Josh: Stacey, thanks so much for having me. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I saw you last in your classroom.

Stacey: You know what, I have too. You are a dynamo, dynamic, and just a force to be reckoned with, and I have been so excited for our listeners to hear a lot about your journey and who you are. You and I have a lot in common, as far as starting out young, achieving young, and just blowing things up. First, how does anyone move to Southern California with $100 in their pocket?

Josh: Well that is a question, and I will do a condensed version. I grew up in South Dakota, small town, and you kind of get that small town vibe. And it snows a lot in South Dakota in some winters, and seasonal depression – I am a true believer – is a real experience. I went through a bad breakup. I started drinking real heavily. Drinking is really common in small, rural towns, and I started drinking heavy. It got to a point in my head where I said, “Hey. I need to get away from this environment.” So I said, “I am going to sell everything.” I sold my car. I couldn’t afford a plane ticket to southern California, so I got one to Vegas. On the morning of, my mom was dropping me off at the airport. I couldn’t get a hold of my ride that was supposed to pick me up to take me from Vegas to southern California, and I am like, “I am going anyway.” I actually ended up sitting at the airport for 12 hours and finally got a ride over to southern California. I quickly realized that it wasn’t South Dakota that was the problem, it was myself.
