My personal motto is: I WILL figure it out.

This motto perfectly describes how I tackle all aspects of my life.

When I say this phrase, it is not a shaky response at fear of the unknown, but a commitment to learning something new.

In the face of adversity, it is the phrase that takes away all self-doubt and lets me get to work.

It is my way of acknowledging not that I may not know how to do something yet, but I am about to learn something new.

When I joined my current team, I had to figure out how we used every detail of a customer in our auto pricing strategy… I had an IT background.

When I was offered my first post-college job, I had to figure out how to move from Georgia to New Hampshire … I had no money no family outside of Georgia.

When I wanted to go to college, I had to figure out the process on my own… neither of my parents graduated high school.

Because of the many times I have used that motto, I am now armed with plenty of confidence to reach out to anyone and ask just about any question.

Today, I might not know how to do something, but I will not let that stop me from saying yes to a new opportunity because I know I can figure it out. After all, I have done it before.
