Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
Business development is basically sales, and sales is for pushy/greedy/skeezy people.
How I responded:
I had a very unfair and negative perception of business development and sales. When people were telling me I'd be good at it, I really resisted. It was a great learning experience realizing that business development for a cause is just about advocacy, thinking strategically, and building relationships with people who also believe in the same mission.
