20 years ago today, I worked my first shift as a commodity broker. It was 12 hours of "smiling and dialing". It was not glamorous and it definitely wasn't what I had envisioned for myself right out of college armed with two degrees with a Magna Cum Laude asterisk. It was hard; I was hung up on, yelled at, and I called people who had died but weren't removed from call registers. I learned to work smarter by generating my own prospective client leads. Eventually, I didn't have to make outgoing calls, people called me instead. I worked 12 hours per day and a few more on Saturday and Sunday for well over a decade without knowing if it would pay off. Don't be afraid to dream big and take risks. Life is for living. 🙂🥹🙂🥹🙂🥹🙂🥹
