Currently Writing: “Are you good enough to find work abroad? It's likely you are. You just don’t know it, yet.”

While working on outlining Gen Propel’s Skillshare course, an idea for an article arose. The working title is, “Are you good enough to find work abroad? It's likely you are. You just don’t know it, yet.”

We don’t always know what’s good and what sucks. That’s why it’s important to get things in front of others and see how they react.

“Sometimes you don’t always know what you’ve got,” says artist Wayne White. “It really does need a little social chemistry to make it show itself to you sometimes.”
