You don't get taken seriously by asking someone to take you seriously. Youโve got to show up and own it. If this is a manโs world, who cares? Iโm still really glad to be a girl in it.
Sophia AmorusoI'm telling you that you don't have to choose between smart and sexy. You can have both. You are both.
Sophia AmorusoThere is no normal. What my job was a few years ago was completely different than what it is today. As soon as I have it dialed in, the company changes and the team changes and my role changes as a result. What the company needs is always evolving, and I don't get to choose what I want to do as much as I thought I would be now - which is OK. It keeps me in this position of learning new things and keeping me humble. There is always something I don't know, and I'm comfortable with that.
Sophia AmorusoIf youโre frustrated because youโre not getting what you want, stop for a second: Have you actually flat-out asked for it? If you havenโt, stop complaining. You canโt expect the world to read your mind. You have to put it out there, and sometimes putting it out there is as simple as just saying, โHey, can I have that?
