Sell Yourself

Christopher Columbus had zero qualifications when he set out to discover the new world. He was a simple merchant with no navigation skills, and he was a terrible leader to his crew. Yet he succeeded because he mastered the art of selling himself. Columbus carried himself with an unstoppable confidence and a clear vision that made everyone believe he was destined for greatness. He hired the best experts to handle the technical work while he focused on making bold demands. Skills can be hired. Ultimately, your official background matters much less than your absolute belief in your own vision.
