Well written, Ty. Giving yourself time and space to grow into new adventures really is important. I still remember the first time I made cold calls back in the mid-80s, traveling an assigned route as a tool salesman. I’d walk in, hand the store manager our monthly sales flyer and my business card, and nervously ask, “You don’t need anything, do you?” I was so anxious to get out of there! But after a few calls, I started getting more comfortable with the process—and eventually, I became one of the top salesmen in the company.
Hi John, thank you for paving the way for remote workers. As an OG, you have so much to offer on this topic and I always enjoy hearing your experiences. I am quickly learning that finding and using confidence is anything but a linear process!
