If there’s one thing that can change your life, it’s going freaking first.
Who the heck wants to do that though? At work I used to weasel my way out of anything. “Any volunteers to stay back late and help clients?”
I’d run for the elevator.
One evening our bank systems went down. Management forced us all to get on a call and gave us a sob story about how businesses couldn’t pay their employees. I didn’t give a flying you know what.
I was one of the only employees not to help out. It sounded smart.
Over time, though, I got passed over for opportunities. The issue was I didn’t understand the power of going first.
It’s rare an Instagram picture quote makes me fall down.
