I have seen many people through the years who were very unhappy and unfulfilled with their jobs, but needed the income so they couldn’t leave. That is the best time to start a business on the side. I have coached many women who started their Mary Kay business while working another job and grew their business so that they could choose to leave that job!

sometimes its great to explore more in the field that youre at. It helps even when you interact with other people who will in a way inspire & even relate to your other skills that you can engage to your job, which might bring that spark back. Otherwise, myself, i just left the job & i'm doing something diffrent & learning different things which is a challenge, which is what i like.

I was feeling that way... It was time to get out. I did for a year, and came back to my industry refreshed and motivated. Sometimes it's hard to accept that it's time for a change, but that's what I hear in your statement.

Maybe go to school after hours or apply for some new jobs just to see what's out there. Just because you apply other places doesn't mean you have to leave.

Try taking a week off. Have your self a vacation. I've been in a sales position for a little over 2 years now, and if I don't get away every few months I go a little crazy.

When is the last time you took a vacation? Maybe you need to take a week to clear your head and start fresh again

Honestly it sounds like you aren't challenged enough. Why not try making goals for yourself. Like. . I'm gonna sell this much this week! And see how you feel when you reach the goal. Honestly, if you still feel crappy after that, I would suggest another career path. Good luck.

People burn out in sales pretty quickly. Maybe it's time for a career change. You can't force interest or motivation.
