Dear SGS: Ambition Is Not Greed, Raise Your Standards, and Stop Explaining Yourself


Listen Later

We're reading your letters this week! In this episode, we talk about ambition vs greed, how to handle rejection at work, and how to keep going after you have been told “no.” We get into raising your standards in relationships and in life, especially when comfort is tempting you to settle. Then we cover what to do when your family does not support your goals, including how to protect your plans, stop over explaining yourself, and stay focused until the results speak for you.
