As a child, I’m sure your parents warned you not to swallow the seeds when eating watermelon. If they were anything like mine, they said it was because if you did, a watermelon would start growing inside your stomach and the vines would come out of your ears and nose!

This urban legend couldn’t be farther from the truth as, ironically, watermelon seeds are non-toxic and actually quite nutritious. They can be eaten raw or cooked and are a good source of fiber, magnesium, iron, and zinc. This literally means that instead of growing inside of a child’s stomach, they can help children grow.

As adults, our bodies might not be growing anymore, but our knowledge, skills, and abilities still can. This will help us in many areas of our lives, especially in our careers and as we build companies. The best places to do this are with organizations where we have the necessary support, whether that be leadership that encourages CE courses and networking opportunities or a strong team that can handle a new challenge.

Wherever you are in your corporate journey, you should never stop growing as an individual. Commercial Finance Consults would love to help you move forward.
