Yeah, I think there's two things. The first is, for my definition of body of work, it's really as you look at the course of your life, what are all the things that you really want to create, contribute, affect, and impact? That's the one decision that you would make is really what is that body of work that you want to create based on things that are really important to you

Using your skills and your strengths. And so with that as a definition, I don't just mean concrete things like helping to build organizations through sales, which is a hugely important skill set, which salespeople have.

But it's also in what are the intangible ways in which you affect the world? How are you as a parent, as a community member?

as a spouse, you know, what are you really contributing? What's your emotional wake that you leave as you really walk through the world? And is it something that you feel proud of and that you really leave as a legacy?

you can be pursuing what seems to be the next great opportunity. I really was fortunate. I spent about three years with a client who had a sales training business. So I've worked with hundreds and hundreds of salespeople who I think happened to be some of the most interesting, flexible, positive people. I really like it. I love the skill set.

And so it is the kind of skill set of any, I think, that are out there. that can be really effective to be moving in different places.

who gets really excited about helping early-stage entrepreneurs create a solid foundation for their business and to get sales moving in the early stage. So in that case, maybe you're just working for an organization to get them up to that stage, develop the capacity of the internal folks to sell more effectively and hire other people, and then you're ready to go on to the next challenge.
