Online Class Notes (Jesse)

There was an exciting change which is I found my emotion of my current job became calm down this week. The reason was I thought the essential of job more clearly, which means I got the reason for why I felt so frustrated and demotivated. The truly reason was I was misled by my boss and big boss. Although they wanted to motivate me to improve my career skills, they used those methods just told how they were disappointed and how big or stupid of your faults and mistakes you have made. That will lead me feel so terrible for myself and lose self-confidence to my job. However, I know I have a lot of achievements in the past career periods, whether FMCG or Internet, such as Ali I always could obtain targets and awards again and again. So, when I made myself calm down and figured out why did I make my boss even myself so disappoint, I caught the point, which is it’s not my faults. I’m a same diligent and smart staff as before, and my views of our business are correct and go straight to the point. The big problem was I could not get resources and supports from my boss, that is the truly need to improve and enhance point for myself.
Since I understood that point, I felt I can breathe easily again, you know I consistently considered resignation in past 5 weeks. I didn’t care about the blames and cynicism from my boss, because I knew those were unfair blows and not truths, above that, I can individually find solutions for the business challenges when I jumped out the weird box, and I believe that can help us to get more share in the China Market.
Sperate the resources lacking, I know I need to expand my expertise in digital marketing and livestreaming, especially the whole circle in Douyin. For example, if we want to gain double increase rate in Douyin next 3months, and I have $4million to invest, how should I make arrangement and implementation to assuring the target can be approaching. Currently, I think I just got some basic knowledge and lack the execution experiences in Douyin.
So, I decide to lean the knowhow from any expert about Douyin next 3 months and spend lots of time to execute and optimize operation techniques. I want and believe I could be an expert after 618 festivals.
