  <title>3 Steps to Combat Struggles in Sales (and Life)</title>
  <description>  In this episode of the Sales Today Podcast, Fred Copestake is joined by Marc Baladi, sales and senior leadership coach, and co-host of the podcast Beyond Enough. &amp;amp;nbsp;   Together, they explore a challenge many people in sales quietly face: feeling overwhelmed, behind, or not good enough - even when they’re capable and putting in the effort. &amp;amp;nbsp;   Marc’s argument is simple but powerful: &amp;amp;nbsp;   You are probably not struggling with capability or effort. &amp;amp;nbsp;   You are struggling with cognitive load - and not knowing what “good enough” looks like. &amp;amp;nbsp;   In this episode    Why “imposter syndrome” and “burnout” are real, but often misunderstood   How cognitive overload shows up in sales and leadership roles   Why your to-do list keeps getting longer   The difference between what needs to be done and what you just feel you should do   How to spot what you are avoiding   Why defining a “good enough” day can reduce pressure   The role of routines, values, and self-awareness in managing workload   Why progress matters more than perfection    &amp;amp;nbsp;   The 3 questions Marc shares:   &amp;amp;nbsp;   1. What are the 3 things that actually need to be done today?   Not everything on your list matters equally.   Focus on the few things that genuinely move things forward.   &amp;amp;nbsp;   2. What are you avoiding or letting slip?   Sometimes the issue isn’t lack of effort - it’s uncertainty, pressure, or misalignment.   &amp;amp;nbsp;   3. What would a “good enough” day look like?   If you defined success more realistically, would you feel more in control?   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Key takeaway   Most people are trying to do too much, prove too much, or be too perfect.   A better approach is to define your operating baseline - what good enough looks like for you - and work from there.   Because the goal isn’t perfection.   It’s sustainable progress.   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Connect with Marc  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; LinkedIn:  Marc Biladi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcbaladi   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Follow Fred:  https://linktr.ee/fredcopestake   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Watch this episode on YouTube: &amp;amp;nbsp;https://youtu.be/ucQEhWkWpmI   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Watch Fred’s FREE YouTube Course: Sales Mastery for Engineers:  https://bit.ly/Sales-Mastery-For-Engineers   &amp;amp;nbsp;   Useful resources    Take the Collaborative Selling Scorecard  – free Check how well your sales approach fits today’s buying environment  https://collaborativeselling.scoreapp.com/  </description>
