The roles we play
I’ve spent all morning on conference calls. My battlecard, which was supposed to be focused on one industry vertical has now expanded to four. Aggghhh!!! While on the call, a friend e-mailed me and said, “MORE MONEY!!!!”
Going back and asking for more money, or asking for enough to begin with, is very difficult for me. I’m finding that life is presenting me with challenges that are right in line with my ‘learning edges’. Today, it’s about asking for what I want and need and not overfunctioning (or, let's be honest, at least minimizing how much I do).
It's funny, I'm aware that I have certain patterns of behavior, but after stating my intention to change old habits, I was quite embarrassed when a dear friend called me on overfunctioning the other day. And, I'm so thankful for it, and for being seen.
Studying last night with a couple of friends, we all laughed. "Now, why did we ask for this?"
