Be Good

“No one will hire you because you are rich- they will hire you because you do good work.”

When you’re in your younger professional years, hungry for success and still believe in “old-fashioned” stuff like being an honest and hard working person- in 2009 you sometimes find yourself feeling a bit crazy, like you’re living in the twilight zone or that you’re out-dated because apparently “things are different these days.” 

What does that mean? We are supposed to be lazy and entitled? Hmmm….

Thankfully the combination of wonderful friends, family and a random email like the above from a professional who’s been around the block and then some in the business world- pop into the inbox to help give that little push to a young professional so they will keep believing that yes indeed, doing good work means everything. 

Thanks M.W. Glad we snubbed you first (HA!) so you’d ask us why and the conversations could start. Now we can be friends and do good work together. Everything really does happen for a reason.
