Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    I have heard discouragement because of my choice to stick with Taco Bell. I do have a BA and looked into graduate school, but I have found happiness here and really like the challenge of turning this store around and back to being the top in my company.

  • How I responded:

    You just have to do what makes you happy and keeps you motivated! Let the people talk but you keep doing your walk and grind everyday.
