That is, feel like I am a solid member and contribute more meaningfully to the business.\u00a0 During that time, I spend a lot of time networking, reading, asking questions, and generally figuring things out as quickly as I can.\u00a0 It often feels like I am cramming for my final exam, but have only taken the course for a couple of weeks.\u00a0 There is a lot I don\u2019t know, but I need to produce results.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This has taken me way out of my comfort zone.\u00a0 It is truly exciting.\u00a0 I am meeting new people, learning a tremendous amount and having a lot of fun.\u00a0

stronger if I follow my own advice: take some risks, build relationships, continually refine my role, and build trust and credibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I can sense the next phase of this exciting
