SHOW NOTES:


SOMETIMES WE FORGET HOW CHALLENGING THAT FIRST JOB WAS

  • Sometimes your first job(s) are just cogs in a machine - you work, but you don’t really care
  • A tale of two first job searches and surrounding activities
  • [Tale 1] Are you qualified for a job? Do you know how to do all the required things?
  • “I’m about to do this first task, and I’m very nervous”
  • “They keep giving me more things to do, and asking if I want more things to do”
  • “Just run with it, own it”
  • We meet 1:1 every week. Sometimes they miss/cancel the meeting. 
  • Understanding the entrepreneur’s mindset and challenges
  • [Tale 2] The fork in the road, and the road less travelled. 
  • The job that doesn’t pay as well, but provides the necessary experience.
