If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship... don’t ask what seat, just get on.Seeing people miss out on awesome opportunities because they are unhappy w/ title.

Titles are funny to me…there is a great interview with Elon Musk where he’s speaking the the WSJ CEO Summit and basically tells the crowd that all their executive titles are just made up.He essentially goes on to say when you register a business you can choose anything you want so he re-registered as Technoking of Tesla. His point is who cares what they call you, what is it you do that makes you valuable?

Even more ironic considering people make up their own titles on linkedin all the time anyway, or their titles don't even accurately represent the role they're in. Silly thing to get hung up on when no one else cares about it at the end of the day.

I don't think I would be getting on any rocket ship blindly because I have been offered a seat. You never know what kind of mission that ship is on. Not signing up for a suicide mission without knowing if I would be martyring for some good cause or not.

I need to know where these rocket ships are going because a lot of rocket ships lead to nowhere.

Contender vs competitor...the contender worries about outside factors (i.e. title) vs the competitor who has that internal engine that will make them successful regardless of the outside factors. The difference between the successful and the impersonators.

I started my freight forwarding career as an Ops Agent I. It's been a fun a ride ever since because I understand business and deploy a strong work ethic. Title means nothing if you are a good leader and dedicated worker. Although, in sales, sometimes a better title can get you the attention of whale accounts 😁

    What if forgiveness isn’t about compassion? What if it is about people valuing their own happiness.

    Software providers... please stop putting out content like: "ten things to consider when evaluating software" It's not genuine. It's extremely biased. It's misleading... and ultimately not helpful.

    If a sales leader's number one job is recruiting, then why is there a disproportionate emphasis on managing existing teams vs. continuously seeking out / connecting new talent???
