If you’re building your career…

Prioritize these core principles:

Build a Personal Board of Advisors

The concept of “mentorship” has become too formal.

Asking someone to be your mentor feels like a big commitment.

Instead, build a Personal Board of Advisors.

A diverse group of 5-10 people you can go to for questions, advice, or feedback.

Swallow the Frog for Your Boss

One of the single greatest hacks to getting ahead early in your career:

(1) Observe your boss
(2) Figure out what they hate doing
(3) Learn to do it
(4) Take it off their plate

It's a clear way to add value, put up a win, and build momentum.

Create a Decentralized Growth Tribe

Having a decentralized friend group to grow with is a real competitive advantage.

• Unconnected to other groups
• Different backgrounds
• Range of experience sets
• Novel perspectives

Call it your Growth Tribe. It’s a huge value unlock.

Learn to Sell

To be successful, you either need to learn how to build or you need to learn how to sell.

Most of us aren't technically-gifted—so just learn to sell.

The more you progress in any field, the more of your job becomes sales.

If you can sell, you'll always make it.
