I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret).

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads.

I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
