From Fortune 1000 Sales to Successful Entrepreneur: Mary Grothe is a masterful, inspirational storyteller. Her Keynotes, crafted effortlessly between her professional and personal worlds, will give listeners an in-depth look into how she achieves worldly success, yet overcomes the dark side of the pursuit of over-achievement.
If asked what problem she solves, Mary would reply, "enslavement", referring to people who worship things of this world: fame, money, titles, and achievements, and lose their souls to gain earthly success. Her words are for the lost, the weary, the lukewarm Christians, and the Christian-curious.

The conversation uncovers invaluable insights for high-performance sales professionals facing similar challenges, emphasizing the necessity of inner work for genuine success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Success in sales can sometimes be a mask for personal struggles; acknowledging inner turmoil is crucial for true fulfillment.
The pursuit of success can stem from a need to fill emotional voids or past inadequacies, leading to an insatiable hunger for achievements.
Separating one's identity from professional accomplishments is essential for mental and emotional well-being.
Spirituality and finding a deeper sense of purpose are instrumental in achieving true fulfillment and overcoming the dark side of success.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
"I had destination addiction because no matter how good my performance was, it was never good enough."
"I was trying to heal inside of myself. And the success became the drug and the addiction and the hit felt great. The high, I wanted it all the time."
"Our world focuses on the hustle and the grind, and the 'do whatever it takes to win' mentality. That's not transferable to any average person to pick up my playbook and do it."
"I have been living my life so backward. My understanding of my worth, my North star, the source I'm plugging into. I got right there."
"There's so much freedom on the other side of that, when we're not tied to that [external success]."
