not back down nor apologize for my perspective . To recognize the authenticity and validity of my point of view even when it clashes with the other person – be it client or ( in this case ) professor . I will not alter myself nor chip away at the woman I ’ ve fought hard to become to make this prof happy by restricting myself within her parameters . Because that will not help nor change my personality magically to make me good at – or like ! – using costs , margins , percentages to inform decisions and strategy . That is not me .
She told me ‘ here is your box ; work inside it ’ to which I respond with ‘ oh , what a really nice box ; it doesn ’ t fit me . Thanks , no , I ’ m going to create my own box instead .’
After all , isn ’ t that what makes me an entrepreneur ? Thinking outside the box or – gasp ! – creating a different box entirely , only to smash and recreate again when it doesn ’ t suit any longer .
Just wait – the box I create will be fucking amazing .
