But then your part-time job at Disney where you were basically running something.

Overall, you were doing a lot of work that you weren't getting financially compensated for.

Mm.

But you learn so much and you're able to transfer those skills to everything you're doing right now.

So how would you approach choosing where you'd want to invest your time?

Young and Profiting with Hala Taha (Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing)
Hala Taha: How Life’s Hardest Moments Can Spark Business Breakthroughs | Entrepreneurship | 7 Years of YAP

Because as a young person, I do think that's one of our greatest assets.

Where would you invest your time to get the most ROI?

I have, yeah, he's cool.

when I think about getting things from other people, the most important thing is how can I provide value to them?

Young and Profiting with Hala Taha (Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing)
Hala Taha: How Life’s Hardest Moments Can Spark Business Breakthroughs | Entrepreneurship | 7 Years of YAP

And where that's hard with young people is we haven't gained as much experience to provide value.

So people don't really know where to start.

But I do think it takes a level of introspection to realize where are my natural talents and where can I

Hala Taha: How Life’s Hardest Moments Can Spark Business Breakthroughs | Entrepreneurship | 7 Years of YAP

help people with their talents that they might be lacking in that exact area, because we do have natural talents.

I think going back to the school system, one of the things that is difficult about it is we don't really capitalize on what we're naturally gifted at.

Young and Profiting with Hala Taha (Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing)
Hala Taha: How Life’s Hardest Moments Can Spark Business Breakthroughs | Entrepreneurship | 7 Years of YAP

We try to build everyone up to be equal, rounded out.

Hala Taha: How Life’s Hardest Moments Can Spark Business Breakthroughs | Entrepreneurship | 7 Years of YAP

Well, I think what I've realized with this podcast is it gives me a lane to grow in the places that I'm excited to grow, to grow in the places that I'm naturally gifted at.

Young and Profiting with Hala Taha (Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing)

And I think that's what a lot of young people should be doing, finding what they're naturally good at and focusing on that instead of trying to round out.
