Episode notes
Celebrate Small Wins
- Celebrate small wins like finally doing job interviews because they require courage and build momentum.
- Use that momentum to tackle the next uncomfortable step instead of dismissing the effort.
Sales Is A Spectrum
- Sales is a broad spectrum, not only commission-driven cold-calling or pushy tactics.
- Roles like Whole Foods staff, marketing, or tech booth work are valid forms of sales and customer service.
Prioritize Tribe Over Title
- Seek jobs that create tribe, shared mission, and visible daily accomplishments.
- Choose workplaces where helping customers and coworkers feels meaningful over pure commission pressure.
