Transcript:
I’ve had people come to me and say, “Someone offered me a job but it’s in an entirely different area of work and I don’t know if i should…” They get all totally confused about it until I say to them, “I’m n ot asking you to take the job. Just think about it. Just think about it. Just go talk to the people. Go have an interview.Go out to coffee with them.” You’re not committing to anything. You’re just exploring your opportunities. And that’s another phrase that’s going to come up as we work through this today. People think that merely by letting themselves think about an idea, they have somehow committed to it. Don’t do that. It’s not about that. It’s about you learning about yourself and what you really want out of your life and career.
