Danny Halpin shares his journey from a blue-collar concrete cutter to a successful sales leader, explaining how commission-based work transformed not just his finances but his entire life perspective.
• Began working construction jobs at just 10 years old and spent years in labor-intensive fields
• Took a leap of faith by quitting his job, spending his savings, and committing fully to sales
• Experienced early struggles in sales before breakthrough success came
• Discusses how commission work provides the freedom and income stability hourly jobs never could
• Emphasizes the importance of family support and "burning the boats" (having no Plan B)
• Shares candidly about overcoming a troubled past with addiction and incarceration
• Now focused on building a culture-first organization and helping others achieve similar success
• Values genuine leadership and creating opportunities for others
If you're sitting on the fence about making a change in your career, Danny's advice is simple: "Risk is the best. Take the risk now that way you don't got to later and sit stagnant your whole life."
