Cringe thread

[Itizn]

Writing this post for past me and for future newbies coming in with doubts. Being afraid of looking foolish or inexperienced is a major factor for not taking action.

Here are some of the things I felt like an idiot for after they initially happened, but that's how I learned.

- Tried selling CEOs and presidents respective products to each other in a competitive market. Basically saying " hey, wanna help the other guys beat you?"

- Being on a sales call with one hardass CEO and trying to pitch him a product I had minimal understanding of. He got so pissed that he called me out on my inexperience, and he was in the right for that too.

- Pretending for a long time that I had experience I didn't have, instead of being forthright about being a novice. This burned me a lot as well.

- Making this thread

If any members feel like sharing moments, particularly early on where they looked a fool, be my guest. I'll probably come back and share future mistakes just for the hell of it.
