Very well put! I would say they won't hear you though. Kinda tired of having these convos with people. The usual shoulder shrug crowd people that believe the cards are stacked against them and say why try if nothing changes.
Soon as I hire a new employee that comes into my firm, within about two months can tell whether they will leap frog other people who have been at the company longer or be stuck in a neutral career. Luck plays a factor for sure but people own bullshyt gets in there way a lot! Usually hear the same speech will do anything to get ahead, then when the company mentions we are expanding and everyone will have to give up weekends for 5 months straight nothing but whining and moaning. The ones that don't whine and moan and put in what is needed to go beyond always branching out on there often to start there own firms that we invest in or get what they need from us to go do bigger and better things!
My own tag quote on thecoli says it all! Repped for the solid response, nothing but best wishes to you on your journey to getting the bags!
