No matter where you're at in your career or work journey, doing more does not equate to receiving more.
In fact, it's in the best interest of those responsible for outcomes to have you believe those same outcomes are yours to deliver.
You're set to believe you're responsible for some manager's command. If the boss says so, then it must be.
What if you drove results based on your own merit? What if the outcomes fell to your own two hands?
Responsibility's a scary thing. A synonym and an antonym to ownership, depending on the context.
If you don't do it, who will? If no one's taking responsibility, there's no owning the outcomes.
That outcome could be a better financial vehicle. More revenue. More opportunity.
The Right to Opportunity is a concept I've spent most of my life battling with. What if, ignorance was by design? What if, you didn't have better outcomes or better exposure to opportunity because of what signals you had access to?
Every paywall to a trying individual disgusts me. I used to imagine it was easy for someone who isn't concerned with finances to wave their entrepreneurial finger urging you to "figure it out".
Empowerment is giving you that olive branch. Free to own, free to operate, no markup or margins.
The Job Scout is a project that I've always measured as impact-first. It got me my current job, it's always evolving in iterations to help others that are already paying for tools access it themselves. Join me at noon EST tomorrow to walk you through the non-AI powered and then the version I'm running today with my Codex subscription.
