You've been calling it responsibility. You've been calling it integrity. You've been calling it just not being ready yet. Karen Yankovich calls it what it actually is: the good girl tax.

Same tax. Prettier dress." "You took that rigged scoreboard, internalized it completely, and now you run it on yourself for free — when there's literally no one else left doing this to you." "Potential isn't a finish line you can cross. It's a decision you make. And in your own business, you're the only one with a vote."   Help Us Spread The Word!
