9/12/2023-On This Day
Skill

On this day in 1992, astronaut Mae Jemison became the first African American woman to fly in space as a member of the STS-47 Spacelab J mission.

Why is this important to you, killer sales pro?

If, in 1992, Mae could figure out how to fly to space, you can do anything.

When Jemison told a kindergarten teacher she wanted to be a scientist when she grew up, the teacher assumed she meant she wanted to be a nurse. (Ouch.)

Think big, and you will be rewarded.

Wanna be in the TOP 10%? It's doable.

Today, locate that dream that's been stuffed away in your brain and reintroduce yourself to it. ("Hello, dream that I've neglected, nice to see you again. No, I'm not mad at you, I've just been busy!")

Dreaming is healthy and motivating…it's the fuel that'll propel you in your current role and beyond.

Don't be embarrassed about the shape your dream is in, just focus on getting it back into shape! You'll feel so much better about moving your "dream rock" up the hill, even if you move "it" only an inch.

Oomph

"I picked up the phone, called down to the Johnson Space Center, and said, 'I would like an application to be an astronaut.' And they didn't laugh."

That simple anecdote from Mae in his 3-minute video clip reveals a whole lot, eh?

Hopefully, Mae's early dreams of being an astronaut will inspire you to act upon your dream. Take that first step and see where it takes you.
