Yesterday by the Beatles

Yesterday by the Beatles

Have you ever listened to the lyrics in that song? Can't you hear a salesperson sing it?

"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away"

  • a full pipeline
  • several promises for month end
  • plenty of time

"Now it looks as though they're here to stay"

  • my pipeline is full of pushes and broken promise
  • tomorrow is the last day and I have nothing
  • performance plan starts the next day.

"Yesterday, (sales) was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away"

Then the final verse unchanged...

"Why she had to go

I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday"

Can you hear the salesperson singing it?

We all have challenges that require us to change, including me. My mentor came into my life and changed it and I'm not alone. Many people acknowledge and are grateful to the people that helped them through the challenge and subsequently changed their lives.

May I switch from a song to a poem?
