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.
