I had a job in high school and one day they asked me to do phone sales. Problem was I stuttered and stammered when I talked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone laughed, but I said okay. No guidance, no directions. Just a phone, a list of numbers, and a product to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the guys pulled me aside and said, “You don’t have a stuttering problem, you have a thinking problem. You’re trying to talk faster than the thoughts are forming in your head. Slow down and you’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I knew it the sales were coming in. That turned into a process, and that process turned into a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He probably doesn’t remember saying it. I’ve thought about it for thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what’s something somebody said to you in passing that ended up mattering way more than they knew?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And if somebody’s answer sounds like something you needed to hear, tell them. That’s usually how these get passed around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The porch light is on. Pull up a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This conversation started on the porch.
