Thanks guys.
It's just f*cking with me because I was good but now I am supposedly better by taking ownership and whatnot but things aren't working out. So naturally I wonder what is the benefit of taking ownership and improving? If I'm just getting worse, what is the point? I don't see an upside.
EDIT: Read Wikipedia about the dunning kruger effect.
This does not seem to be the same thing. The dunning kruger effect is about low-competency individuals thinking they are better than they are. While I am low competency NOW, I wasn't when I first started. Everyone on my team is telling me I used to do very well and that I need to "get back to what you were doing" so this does not seem like the same thing.
I think what is happening is I'm learning about things that I do not understand and it's eroding my confidence, which makes me perform badly.
Before, I was blissfully unaware and that unawareness was allowing me to be confident and get sales as a direct result. Now, I am aware of some things that I need to improve on and my confidence is gone so I don't make sales like before.
So again I wonder: what is the point of knowing what you need to improve on if that knowledge erodes your confidence and makes you worse than you were?
I believe Ben talked about this IRT RSD videos and how they put him in a bad state because they showed him all his flaws. As a direct result of watching the videos, Ben did worse with women (I believe that's what he said)
