Before that, you were probably making little to no money.\u00a0 Now you have a steady paycheck with more money than you\u2019ve ever had before. You\u2019re meeting new people, you\u2019re learning new skills.\u00a0 You feel empowered. You feel useful.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThen, you hit the dip.\u00a0 You\u2019re given more responsibility with no pay raise.\u00a0 They give you the toughest project that eats up seemingly all of your free time.\u00a0 It\u2019s frustrating, your performance and confidence are dipping (no pun intended). You want to quit.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMaybe you can relate?\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nGodin\u2019s advice is that, when appropriate, it will be highly rewarded when we push through this dip.\u00a0 How?\u00a0<br />\r\n\u201cYou have the power to change everything.\u00a0 To create remarkable products and services.\u00a0 To over-deliver. To be the best in the world.\u201d\u00a0<br />\r\nHow dare we waste this opportunity?<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here\u00a0.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
