They

They…

said you would have a fruitful career

said we promote from within

said you need more experience

said you need to get your numbers

said it isn’t about the numbers

said you lack in this area

said you lack in that area

justified every decision with corporate policy

Everyone I have ever met in a company from the receptionist to the CEO lacked certain skills. No one in the business world has a full skill set. No one ever will. Don’t spend your life jumping through hoops to climb the hierarchy. Remember, what ‘they’ say is based on ‘their’ perception. You don’t have to agree. You don’t have to be perfect to be successful. What they are saying may not even be true. You can’t learn when your being held back. You can’t learn from someone you don’t believe. You can’t learn from someone who doesn’t believe in you.

Maybe you should stop listening to them?

Maybe you should leave, maybe you should start your own venture.
