BUILDING A PERSONAL BRAND

Door-to-door phenom Jake Robles breaks down how he went from teenage pest rep to record-setting alarms seller at Vivint—and why he walked away mid-summer to bet on solar and his personal brand. We cover the highs (45 installs in a week, 110+ accounts/rep averages, 86 solar deals in 8 weeks) and the inner game that actually drives those numbers: presence over panic, starving dopamine, and removing fear so “God-given energy” can flow.

In this episode:

• The reality of solar systems (and how Jake navigates them)
• Flow state > tactics: how to stop transmitting desperation on the doors
• Presence as a competitive edge (and what “being present” really means)
• Starving fake dopamine, fasting, and managing energy without gimmicks
• Leadership that scales: one pitch, same words, every time—and why
• Handling online hate without fighting back
• Preparation stacks: sleep, diet, and phone discipline
• Surrender, unconditional faith, and letting life “tear down” old identities so you can rebuild

One of the worst questions you can ask yourself is: “Is it worth it?”
In this episode, I share how dropping that question changed my entire career — from rookie summer struggles to stacking Golden Doors.

Inside, I break down:

• The August shift that separated me from everyone else.
• Why most people quit before they ever find out what they’re capable of.
• The real reason some reps hit goals while others fall short.
• How to turn obstacles into fuel and proof you deserve to win.
• The mindset that keeps recruits loyal and careers moving forward.
• What it really means to adopt a champion identity built on sacrifice.

If you’ve ever felt tired, burned out, or questioned whether pushing harder is worth it — this one’s for you.

Questions I Answered in This Episode:

1. What took you from your rookie year to winning three Golden Doors?
2. Why do some people hit their goals and others don’t?
3. When you have a bad day in a good area, do you ever feel like you’re wasting it?
4. What are the best systems for retaining recruits across multiple teams and industries?
5. Should I make this job a career, or should I get out?
6. How do you give everything you’ve got and then, when it feels like you’re done, still give more?
7. How do you turn a big obstacle into a superpower?
8. How do you adopt a champion mindset of winning with sacrifice?
