Chapter Fourteen - Create Your Own Mythology

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Create Your Own Mythology

IF I WERE evil, I wouldn’t just build a team.
I’d build a pantheon.

Every cult needs gods.
So I’d start forging mine in-house.

A few fake legends.
A few real ones.
It doesn’t matter.
No one’s checking the math.

“This guy did 847 in a summer.”
“She hit six sales her first day. No skips.”
“We had 2 Golden Door winners last year.”

All of it—the mythology.

Because when you give people legends,
you don’t need to give them reasons.
You just show them the scoreboard.

I’d create awards like:

• Rookie of the Year
• Dog of the Day
• Golden Door Club
• Inner Circle
• Legendary Status

And I’d start calling a 3-sale day a “hat trick.”
And 6 sales?
Legend.
Doesn’t matter if the guy got lucky.
Doesn’t matter if the script got waved through.
Doesn’t matter if it’s real.

The story is what sells.

I’d publish a glossy record book at the back of the training manual—
a holy text of made-up sales statistics,
so wild they stop sounding fake and start sounding inspirational.

“Whoa… this guy sold 1,100 in a single summer?”
“That’s insane.”

I’d name-drop the legends like celebrities.
Treat them like apostles.
Post their faces on slideshows and walls.

And I wouldn’t care if their numbers were inflated, forged, or ghost-sold.
Because if I were evil, I’d know one thing above all:

When you can’t sell the truth, sell the myth.
