Clip from Episode 36: Camille Clemons – Financial Services Sales Career Transitions:
First is I don’t give up. So I think it comes from my background of being an athlete and just like nobody likes to lose. Well I don’t like to lose. But if you lose you realize OK get back up and try again. I mean I’ve been told No I’ve been hung up on I’ve been denied entry. Like literally they just wouldn’t open the door. I’ve been told I’m not the right one for the job. I have been told to make a career move that I wasn’t interested in. And at the end of the day you’re the only one who knows what you’re meant to do. So don’t give up realizing your goals because of some external force trying to push you a different direction. You’re the one in charge. Just remember that. And I think that leads me to the second. And it’s funny when you realize your goals and I think I’ve talked maybe a little bit about this but I’m a reflective person. So it’s important for me to take a step back and I think that this is literally happening to me right now. And if anything if anything I could take away from it it’s when you feel you’ve reached like your perceived pinnacle. You step back and you’re like wait a second. There’s another mountain range behind me. I need to go do that next. And realizing that. What maybe enough for some people and it’s a very respectable thing to be satisfied. It doesn’t mean that’s enough for you.
