Jette's professional career and business both started in times of crisis. You'll learn Jette's top 5 lessons about career and business growth to build a way to make money that aligns with who you are and your life goals.
The truth is...
Making money can't stop when life goes wrong.
If it does stop, you can starve.
When Jette Stubbs graduated as an international student during a recession, she had 90 days to find a job or leave the country. Yes, she needed money. She didn't want just any job.
She wanted to follow the advice "find your passion" and "do what you love," but she quickly learned she had no clue how to build a career. She also had no idea how to "sell yourself" to employers to land a job she really wanted.
You can spend years in school and learn algebra, English, science, but somehow you're never taught how to make money, even if you go to university. You feel like you did what you are "supposed to do" - go to school, work hard, maybe build your degrees and experience. But somehow...
We are not taught how to:
- figure out what we want to do in life
- build successful career or businesses
- sell ourselves to make money or opportunities
But we need TO DO these 3 things to survive.
Jette went from a 0% response rate to over 100 job applications to a 70% response to 10 job applications, and she took a way some major lessons on making a career choice and selling yourself. Since then, she's worked in career development in 40+ industries.
Eventually, she wanted to start a business online to create more flexibility and work-life balance, when life was throwing her MAJOR curveballs. This came with another huge set of lessons.
In this episode, Jette shares the top 5 lessons in career advice and business advice she learned from trying to build how she makes money during a crisis.
