Reflections from my recent solo ‘Think Week’

I spent a lot of time reflecting on all the things, and I wanted to share a few of my reflections with you (in no particular order):

To my job-seekers:

The other invites solutions.
______

Find the job that teaches you the most.
Don’t just take the job that pays you the most.
You’ll earn more in the long term this way.
______

It’s never “just a job.”

Your job shapes:

Make it count.
______

______

For my entrepreneurs:

Friendship is the real currency
Not followers.
______

It’s not a race.
There isn’t a prize for getting to a $1M the fastest
But there can be a cost.
______

In a world obsessed with how to get more follower/customers,
try delivering better to the customers that you already have.
Outlasting > out-marketing.
______

Most of all:

Stay silly.
Stay curious.
Be kind to yourself.

The world does not need a better version of someone else. It needs a better version of you.
