10 Learnings from one year of preparing and having tech interviews
By: Gabry Martinez
Tags: Interview Preparation, Career Development, Learning And Development

I had prepared for interviews at different times during my career but, this time my goal was to get a job at a product-focused company, outside of Mexico, which for many reasons put me in the same line as any developer from any place or country. There were many technical aspects of my resume that I had to enforce, especially on the programming aspect. Lately, I had taken up roles like Team Lead or Cloud Architect that required me to lean on more high-level software design, instead of coding. Because of this, I was a bit rusty at using algorithms and data structures. Preparing for the technical interviews was comparatively easy. Don’t get me wrong here! I mean it’s easier to get a list of articles and material for reviewing and practicing the foundations of algorithms and data structures. So, I ended up using many different resources, from books to online platforms. I selected a list of the ones I found most useful. If you are interested you can find it on my GitHub page.

Learnings and growth

When I started off, I knew I needed to practice more. As I went through the path of preparing myself, I started taking interviews with many different companies: consultancy, development services, product-based, and any company that seemed like a good option at that time.

After the first months of this journey, I was able to recognize some key things in the interviews where I passed to the second round; the entry point was to be good at coding and data structures but then there were other aspects that I was seeing relevant too. Communication skills and collaborating well with the interviewers during the coding exercises were equally important. Later, I realized that just doing real interviews was not going to be enough for improving and performing better. It was also important to exercise my soft skills in leadership and communication in real scenarios.

As the pandemic started many meetups and events were held virtually. I took this opportunity to collaborate with different communities inside and outside Mexico. Doing mentoring as a volunteer and giving talks about the technical things I was learning, and also taking a more leadership role in the job that I had, helped me to have real scenarios.

Participating in different communities where other women were also learning and looking for jobs as software developers helped me recognize that good soft skills make you stand out in the crowd. Developers who are more approachable while collaborating provide a better experience and outcome in a real project.

If you’re a coach or course creator, chances are, you love what you do! 💖

You’re passionate about helping your clients or students change their lives.

You help them overcome obstacles, limiting beliefs, and achieve their goals.

You create a safe space for them to be vulnerable and get real with themselves.

You’re the friend they need who not only listens but also provides the tools they need to solve their problems.

So you put yourself out there. You optimized your profile and Facebook Cover. You post inspirational posts on Facebook and Instagram and do Lives on a daily basis.

You might have even started your own Facebook Group and your own website.

You’re doing everything to position yourself to the right people. But you’re noticing that only a few people watch your Facebook Live, only a few people DM you to ask about your program.

Now you second guess yourself and get a knock from good ‘ol Impostor Syndrome. “What is it that I’m doing wrong?”, you ask yourself.

You see, people always think, “What’s in it for me?”. If your branding and message don’t resonate with them, they’ll scroll past you and ignore you.

They might not even be aware that they need you — -you haven’t clearly told them.

So how do we bridge this gap?

Simple — bring a copywriter in the mix.

You might be thinking, “But I can write my own content, so no thanks.”

The problem is you might think you are clear on your unique selling proposition, but you’re not. There’s a disconnect with your target audience.

There are so many coaches doing the same marketing strategies, offering the same thing, but only a few stand out — -and actually get coaching clients.

What separates six-figure coaches from the rest?

Simple — compelling copy that resonates with their target market.

They hired copywriters.

Copywriters help to clearly convey the USP or message of the coach or how they’ll change the lives of their clients.

They use emotion-evoking copy in websites (landing page, about page, etc.), social media, and email marketing.

A copywriter also helps in building trust with your audience in different channels and leads people to do your call to action i.e. enroll in your program.

The thing is you may have added hundreds if not thousands of people on Facebook, but you’re not getting your ideal clients.

When you work with a copywriter, you will attract quality leads, convert them from cold stalkers to raving (and paying) fans.

You will gain a clear understanding of your sales funnel.

And best of all, you’ll be able to focus on what you really love to do — -coaching people to live their most fulfilled lives!

Imagine what it would be like if people are the ones messaging you and asking how to get into your program… and are very much ready to pay to get into it.

They have the FOMO so bad they waitlist on your program. 😍

It’s possible when you work with a good copywriter.

Ready to be a part of six-figure coaches? 🚀

At Blogle, I want to keep the process of buying website copy, blog posts, or any other content, as simple and easy as possible.

My Copywriting Journey

My Copywriting Journey

It’s been a rainy day.

Tonight, I’m sleeping in my boyfriend’s car.

Why here? Because here isn’t the city.

It’s a rather quiet suburban where I prefer to be in for my creative headspace. There’s also a plethora of boba cafes in which I enjoy paying hourly visits.

To be totally honest. I’m not too sure why I’m writing in this style. But I applaud myself for finally publishing a piece on Medium.

The Time is Finally Here

I’ve finally had it with my weak motivation to write.

Today isn’t day 1 of writing copy. It’s probably day 256 after a series of inconsistent writing attempts.

To me, it’s an embarrassing attribute of being an indecisive 24 year old woman. I’m just saying.

Why Now?

I just arrived from a two week vacation to Tokyo and Hokkaido. I’ve learned many life lessons throughout this trip. And I continue to learn more as I continually miss Japan.

One of the lessons I’ve learned was that my 20’s are THE PRIME YEARS for making failures.

Yes, I know. It’s nothing new. But I am finally taking it seriously.
People read. Make it worth their while.

Did you know that blog posts are among the most shared content online?

The general consensus in the content marketing world is to go long or go home because long-form content is more popular than ever before, with the most shareable content an average of 3,000+ words long!

As a copywriter based in the UAE, this is one of the most challenging ideas to sell to clients.

Many marketing professionals only understand content on one level, in the form of sleek advertising that companies like Apple are now known for, and this is all they want me to recreate.

What many people forget, is that Apple started out with content like this:

When Apple was new, they had to explain who they were, what they were and how they were going to add value to your life. Remember, no one knew what a personal computer was, and technology certainly wasn’t where it is today!

Which is why if you’re starting a business or launching a new product, my first piece of advice is, don’t be afraid of words!

This isn’t a post about visuals, so I’m not even going to address that elephant, because we all know that presentation is KEY. What I will say is, no one will care how cute your website looks if they don’t understand what you’re selling.

The fact is, Apple has always represented simplicity and minimalism, but it evolved into a thriving content marketing machine because of meticulous planning, careful product positioning and a rare ability to reach into the heart of why people should WANT their product, then sell it.

One more point about writing long stuff.

Don’t be scared; it doesn’t all have to come from you (or your terrified copywriter who is knee-deep in edits).

The user-generated content that good products and services inspire is one example of how effective blogging can be for a brand and why long-form content is so compelling. People make purchase decisions off the back of reviews and articles every-single-day!
How to Say Thanks to Your Freelance Writer

How to Say Thanks to Your Freelance Writer

Many may not be aware, but it’s said that the 2nd week of February is considered Freelance Writer Appreciation Week. As a freelance writer myself, I consider this week as big a deal as my birthday (which if you know me personally is not a small thing). Many people don’t know or truly understand what it is I do so to think there’s an entire week dedicated to appreciating that rejuvenates my excitement for the type of work I’m in.

If you’re someone who’s hired a freelance writer before or currently (or even one of my clients!) and you’ve appreciated all that they’ve done for your business, why not take a moment this week to say thank you? If you’re not sure how to start, here are a few ideas:

K.I.S.S.

OK so the last “S” is a little harsh, but let’s focus on the first 3 letters: Keep It Simple. Shoot them an email that says how much you’ve appreciated what they’ve brought to your business. Maybe highlight something positive that happened as a result of their work. You could even go old school and send a thank you card because who doesn’t love getting something other than bills or junk mail?

Tell the World

The biggest compliment I would ever receive as a writer is a great recommendation. If you want to really help your freelance writer without any monetary effort, celebrate them publically. This can be done through a review on sites like the Better Business Bureau or a quick “thank you” on your social media channel that tags them or their business page.

Go All Out

If there are not enough words to express how grateful you are for your freelance writer, I’ll be the first to say honestly gifts are wonderful, too. If you’re like me and love to give gifts of great meaning, try something like Aqua Notes (because we all know inspiration comes in the shower!).

No matter how you choose to give accolades to your favorite freelance writer, they will truly appreciate it. I can’t speak for all of us, but I can bet that a great majority of us truly love what we do and love the clients we work for! Want to make me one of your favorite freelance writers? Check out my work!

To all my fellow freelance writers, I hope you truly know how appreciated you are this week and every week! #FreelanceWritersAppreciationWeek
Copywriters are the reason our economy isn't dead yet.

'THIS IS THE BEST DEAL OF YOUR HOLIDAYS', the banner ad screamed into your face; providing an ordeal of a light-red visual.

Compelled to buy yet? Me neither. Nor is your customer.

Yet so many companies make the mistake of following this template. This template of trying to convince their customers that their product is the shiniest, the fluffiest, the <insert -iest adjective here>.

But adjectives don't sell. Feelings do. And if you can't communicate feelings in your adverts, there's only so far you can go in business. Your customers are disinterested in your product.

Read through that one again.

Your customers are disinterested in your product.

We can talk about the sense of urgency and all the other dozen factors that influence the customer's decision to buy, but today's message isn't about them. It's about feelings.

Why do people buy?

Reason #1: to move further away from pain.

Reason #2: to move closer to pleasure.

You telling your customers that "it is simply impossible to resist this deal" will simply not cut it.

What if you were selling cherry-red corvettes in the '67s? Would you sell it as the fastest, the best-looking? You might sell one or two, but you're not gonna sell a bunch.

But what if you tried to tie the Corvette to an emotion — either to pain or to pleasure?

Let's try this one again.

They don't write songs about Volvos.

My sincerest apologies to all the Volvo owners that might be offended by this.

Chevrolet ran thousands of Corvettes through the production line because they had an emotion attached to their product.

Your customers are disinterested in your product. They are interested in the emotion that the product provides them with.

Copywriters are the cupids that shoot the arrow of affection and connect the dots between your heart and the product of the company.

Copywriters are the Tinder right-swipes that match you with your next purchase.

Copywriters help you feel the emotion engraved deeply within the product's body.

Without them, we'd be drowning in a sea of brand messaging that would be all the same.

The best. The shiniest. The emptiest.

Emotionless.

Getting your management consulting offer! (2021)
By: New Grad Musings
Tags: Interview, Consulting, Careers, Jobs, Case Interview

Hello there!

About a year ago, I began my application to consulting firms such as McKinsey, BCG and Bain. The process was pretty daunting. For starters, consulting interviews are objectively tough. While there are tons of resources out there, the good ones are few and far between. Some of these resources require you to pay large fees to access them! (I’m just a college student…). COVID had just hit, and the entire application process had undergone significant changes too.

Fast forward a few months later, I was fortunate to have received numerous offers. This would not be possible without the help of my seniors, peers and people around me. Their time, advice and lessons shared were extremely useful in allowing me to navigate this daunting process.

This is why I have I have written a series of posts detailing my experiences and tips for the Management consulting application process (Tailored to the South East Asia region). By sharing my experience, I hope that I can pay it forward, demystifying the process for any aspiring applicant, making it a little less daunting, and showing that it is definitely achievable with a huge dose of hard work and commitment.

You can find the links here:

Please comment, share and leave any feedback! This would be really useful for me to refine and improve on these articles. While I’m keeping this space anonymous (for now?), you can reach me at new.grad.musings@gmail.com!
Why Choose ICRI INDIA for a great Career Start?
By: Icri India
Tags: Icri Mumbai Reviews, Icri India Reviews, Icri Reviews, Careers, Icri Fake

Every aspirant looks after a great career start after completing their graduation. However, many believe that a great and renowned college is the foundation for the same. To reach that level, ICRI India, the renowned institution for education in clinical research, has been a great part of its alumni career. There are a few reasons why you can pick ICRI as the establishment to seek after your advanced education. A few of the reasons are mentioned below –

A huge number of industry tie-ups

As referenced before, the ICRI has associated its name with more than 2000 distinct organizations in the hospital and research industry. This permits the students from the ICRI to be among the top preferences for occupations just as research programs as trainees. A few global and public organizations in this rundown of tie-ups guarantee that the students choose to seek advanced education or occupations inside India just as out of India.

Great Salary Package

While the students who finish their college classes get an average salary package upto 4 to 7 Lakh per annum, the average salary package is raised multiple times after completing postgraduate education. This is the motivation behind why students from around the world presently don’t spare a moment in picking a postgraduate degree over a job and placements after graduation.

Students from the ICRI get an average salary package of 15 lakh to 25 lakhs per annum with five years of experience. The students who have a college degree as a resume feature can never reach these statures in a humble time of involvement. The development of a student with a postgraduate degree can nearly be viewed as the student’s growth.

Top Recruiters

Another significant reason you ought to go for ICRI India for postgraduate education is that the students of this institution can easily apply for international recruiters. This guarantees that you are the top priority for the organizations searching for freshers for a job opportunity. The organization additionally guarantees that there are over 2.5 lakh vacancies worldwide, making the ICRI an institution that can undoubtedly accomplish its objective for 100% placements.

These were a few reasons why ICRI is the top foundation for clinical research in the country. There are a few different reasons you can pick ICRI India to be the institution for completing your postgraduate courses.

Life After Mac: Real stories of alumni finding their way — Natalie
By: Mcmaster Alumni
Tags: Mcmaster University, Change, Self Discovery, Mcmaster, Careers

During a night in my final year of undergrad, I had my business casual attire on, my laptop propped up on the numerous textbooks I now owned and was getting ready for my online grad school interviews. I felt nervous and weird; nervous because they could determine what I would do for the next few years, but weird because I still hadn’t figured out why exactly I was doing them.

As a kinesiology student, I was having a bit of an identity crisis when it came to what career path I wanted to go on and felt the unsettling pressure from comparing myself to my peers and friends. When I got accepted into a chiropractic college in Toronto, I thought that would solve it.

But, it didn’t.

It was constantly a battle; go for the thing that a lot of people were more approving of and sounded good (become Dr. Chan) or take a break to figure out what I want and find time to invest in other interests. Thankfully, my parents and sister were fully supportive of me. Ultimately, I chose the path that I felt was best for ME and making the hard decision to not go to chiropractic college was truly life changing in many ways.

I was fortunate to find a job soon after graduation in managing a healthcare clinic, and because I had a good work and life balance, I was able to pursue other passions and interests; the main one being starting a side business for baking, calligraphy, and handmade cards with my sister. This project would have never come to fruition but had I not made the decision to trust my gut and I never would have experienced all the joy, meaningful relationships, and growth it brought me.

Once again deviating from the healthcare route I was so sure I’d be on for most of my life, I have been working in the marketing and trade industry for the past year; STILL learning more about myself, refining existing skills, discovering new ones, building new connections, and actively moving forward in pursuit of my direction — one that incorporates science and art. This journey so far has been eye-opening in taking the time to try new things and find out what my likes are, what my strengths are, how to use them in a positive way, how I want to help others, what I value and how I want to grow. I look back on all that has happened in the past two years and am confident I made the right decision.

So, I want to encourage and support you with these:

1. Be patient with yourself and take time to reflect.

2. Seek wise counsel; consult people you trust and know you well and/or seek guidance from people who are trained/equipped to help you on your career journey. Surround yourself with supportive people.

3. Be proactive.

4. Know that change is okay and welcome it.

Keep on persevering; you will overcome the challenges you face!

Strike Gold: Jobs In The San Francisco Area
Tags: San Francisco, Career Paths, Employment, Careers, Jobs

No matter how you slice it, Silicon Valley’s iconic next-door neighbor will not be displaced as the business hub of California anytime soon, which is great news for the nearest metropolitan area: San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward is one of the top 20 most hiring metro areas on Lensa, beating out its southern tech hub neighbor by several spots.

While job growth is not skyrocketing, it is extremely stable and superior to the national average: year-over-year job growth in the Bay Area reached 2.4% in early 2019, which is a significant increase over both national and state job growth, which sit at 1.7% and 1.4% respectively. Meanwhile, unemployment remained particularly low in the region — 2.0% as of November 2019, while California unemployment was 3.7% the national average sat at 3.5%. This stability notwithstanding, the Bay Area also experiences periods of impressive growth, which is no surprise for arguably the most future-focused employment hub in the nation. Workers from around the globe flock to the San Francisco area to seek gainful employment and a better life beside the Pacific, and not without reason: San Francisco ranks as the seventh best place to live according to U.S. News, having earned a perfect desirability score.

It is a good time to be a jobseeker in the Bay Area, with the retirement wave opening more and more jobs while increasing numbers of people leave the region due to problems of high cost-of-living, overcrowding and gentrification. And the slightly slower labor growth, combined with the exodus of people to more affordable areas, is encouraging employers to seek new workers outside of traditional talent pools, so people returning to the workforce after absences or with more highly varied qualifications and experiences have improved chances of employment.

Think you have what it takes to make it in the City by the Bay? Here are some important employment trends to help you start your search.

Top Industries in the Bay Area

With the San Francisco metro area being the key business hub for northern California, you can understandably find any kind of work there. But some industries are growing faster than others, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The highest-growth industry from November 2018–2019 was Information, closely followed by a four-way tie in Construction, Financial Services, Education and Health Services. The following are the most demanding industries on Lensa in the San Francisco metro area:

My first act of ‘prophesy’ was when I was about 8 years old…
By: Dave Partner
Tags: Career Advice, Prophesy, Career Change, Careers, Predictions

My first act of ‘prophesy’ was when I was about 8 years old. The year before that, my dad had told me a story about an old woman in the same town that could predict people’s demise. He said she was accurate several times and she told them she could tell that people are about to suddenly pass-on if she saw a yellow halo on their head.

A year later, I returned from school one day and met my parents sitting in the compound with a certain man who visited them.

I was going to walk past them when my mum called me back and introduced the man to me.

I didn’t understand her explanation so it sounded to me like

“Dave, this is your uncle’s brother’s cousin father from the left side of your right family tree”.

I smiled it off and went into the house. About 5 minutes later, my parents came in to give me a further explanation of how the man was related to us.

I cut in while my mum was still speaking

“mum, this man is about to die, the next news you will hear about him is that he has passed on… “.

My mum screamed at me “keep quiet! You don’t say stupid things like that? Does he look sick to you? Are you a doctor? Are you the witch that will kill him?

This man said he is coming to visit us again on Tuesday… “

The questions were still pouring in when my dad interrupted her “let him speak, son what made you say so?”

I replied “nothing.”

By this time I was already too afraid to speak.

My parents cautioned me not to ever say such again.

2 days later, I returned from school in the same manner. This time, my parents were sitting at the same spot alone, their faces were empty and you could tell they were waiting for me to return.

When they saw me, they both started talking at the same time but my dad held back, so my mum continued

“Do you remember that man you told us will die?

We just got news 10 minutes ago that he is dead!”

They both called me indoors so that neighbors won’t eavesdrop, “What we want to ask you is, How were you able to predict his death so accurately?” my dad asked.

I waited a little to make sure they weren’t about to beat me, then I replied

“You remember that halo you told me about that woman used to see on people’s head before they die?

I saw it in his two eyes when he looked at me, they were glowing red”.

Though still visibly in shock, my parents made me vow there and then never to ever predict people’s demise again, ever. I was told it’s not a good gift to possess and that it ruined the old woman who wielded it.

That was how I abandoned that exercise forever, now I just play with predicting boxing matches, some of which I get dead wrong.

But one such gift that has stayed with me ever since is being able to predict the right career path for people. I am almost always dead-on accurate and it has nothing to do with halos and yellow lights, just common sense.

If you are not in the career you like to be in, you don’t need any special prophecy, move from there, you are not a tree.

Ask the Experts: Driver Shortage & Women in Supply Chain
Tags: Women In Tech, Transportation, Supply Chain, Careers, Technology

For the first post in our series, we spoke with two industry experts and two Transfix executives. Here’s what they said:

What are your two cents on the driver shortage? What is the impact that it’s going to have over the next decade?

“People have been talking about a truck driver shortage for over 20 years and some shippers are always skeptical. I think we really need to be thinking creatively around this and really change the structure of the industry. It’s just an idea and it may not be viable but it’s almost having drivers be a shared resource?”

-Adrian Gonzales, President at Adelante SCM & Founder/Host of Talking Logistics

“It’s more important now than ever to leverage technology to improve the utilization of the carriers we have. Trucking is an imperative piece of the puzzle for the economy and the truck driver shortage can have detrimental effects on both companies and the end consumers.

For us, that includes using data and our carrier matching capabilities to make sure carriers are never driving empty. It’s about taking the limited supply of truckers we have and using them more efficiently and intelligently.”

-Jonathan Salama, Co-founder & CTO, Transfix

What would be the one piece of advice that you have for women in the supply chain industry that aspire to become leaders like you?

“I tell other female professionals that they always need to surround themselves with people that are strong [and have] diverse backgrounds. It’s just so important that they don’t have many versions of themselves that they’re hiring.”

-Shana Riggs, VP, Logistics, Customs & Supply Chain Operations, Chico’s, FAS Inc.

“Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of perfectionism. It’s a cliche, but I think women in particular can benefit from reminding themselves that perfect is often the enemy of good.

When you release yourself from expectations of perfection at all costs, that’s when you open up the biggest opportunities for personal and professional growth — when you can raise your hand for a hard task, or ask for the promotion you think you deserve. It’s freeing.”

-Andrea Blankmeyer, CFO, Transfix
Have you heard the story about the girl that tried to defeat Destiny?

Have you heard the story about the girl that tried to defeat Destiny?

Oh, have you heard the story about the girl that tried to defeat Destiny?

Eve wanted to be so much more than what she was,

she never knew what her true path was.

So she thought of all the stories in their glory colours

motionless on each wall of her room unfolding heavy

in her imagination of what she could be only her mind could follow

as the universe would not let her be anything.

she dreamt so much dancing with a tether to this world of illusion

foolish child to think that she is the narrator of her own story

but the fallacy she could not decide what story to tell

she could only dream and freeze when she was about to tell her story

we never found out what her tale is.

she used to sit in front of these three doors green yellow red

she didn’t like each of these colours

she was afraid of opening the doors not knowing what’s behind

she chose what’s in her way pulled away by doubt and ego

I wanna go back and hug her and tell her not to be afraid and hold her hand and help her choose a door and walk on one path rather than none

maybe she is afraid of one path,

in her dreams, she walks on all three

but when she wakes up

she only sees a white door.

5 Ingredients of an Architecture Resume
By: Cv Simply
Tags: Resume, Resume Writing Tips, Resume Writing, Careers, Jobs

A good architecture resume may go in a couple of different directions, but it does tend to have some central characteristics that make it hit harder than the rest. To emulate a great resume, you need to be aware of the common resume mistakes and consider which of the components would show you at your strongest.

In that case, you will notice that it is concise, well-written, engaging, and tells the recruiter the most important things they need to know before compelling them to inquire further with an interview.

1. Resume Length

As most architecture resume are small to mid-sized, the chances are that the person reviewing your application is the Principal Architect or an architect senior enough to be put in charge of hiring.

Recruiters tend to get tens if not hundreds of job applications after an opening gets posted. In other words, they are busy architects, and you only have a few seconds to make an impression for them to either continue reading or file it away.

2. Summary

A well-written summary provides you the opportunity to frame your skills and experience directly to the job you apply for. The extra effort in tailoring your resume to each specific role conveys your commitment to the job.

The inclusion of a summary is contentious — should you or should you not include one? However, avoid the mission-statement style summary with empty phrases — it does not tell the recruiter anything and wastes space.

3. Work Experience

Clarifying your work experience lets the employer know what you are already proficient in and, more importantly, how the firm could use your expertise to support their work. Above everything else, the employer will want to see what you have already done as an architect to assess the type of work you have under your belt.

4. Roles Performed

In your employment history section, include specific information on the roles you performed along with any distinctions that made your job unique to that employer. Listing who you worked for is standard in any resume section, but it is more critical to list what you did.

5. Education

With little work experience behind you yet, your accomplishments in architecture school are going to be your shining beacon of growth and achievement. This area is crucial when you graduate and first put your shoes on the pavement.
Weightloss is HARD, so is growing your Career? Excerpt from Ep 6. CareerCashCulture

Tags: New Year, YouTube, Weight Loss, Growth, Careers

Buying better “shit” could mean a lot of things. Anything that has a label on it that says healthy, organic, green, fit, fast, and lose weight, anything of that nature, you’re probably going to grab regardless if you know how it works. If it works for you. Buying better shit could be a couple of different things. Could be that you’re listening to new podcasts. What does this mean for the average person?

Chances are you’re probably going to google search this and say how can I improve my career? Thousands upon thousands of pages and videos and podcasts are going to pop up and it’s a lot. Can you consume it all? No, it’s just way too much to really injest and make sense of it all. So you’re going to have to figure out exactly which person has the right message that matches up with what your aspirations are in life.

Now don’t overindulge, don’t subscribe to everything.

If you take on too much, it’ll be information overload. It’s like drinking from a fire hose. It’s not possible, but you do have to be cautious about how much you consume because having all the right conversations and meeting with mentors and listening to all the podcasts and reading all the books mean absolutely nothing if you don’t put it into action.

As the clock struck 12 on New Year’s eve, we were all thinking about what we wanted to do to better our lives and better our position in this world. To achieve more, to give back, to be a better human, better contributor. We also started thinking about the next year, but here’s what’s most important. If you’re not consistent, committed, and really confident in knowing where you want to go and where you’re headed, you’re not going to get very far, but that doesn’t set you apart from anybody else. We all struggle from the same pain points as I mentioned…The struggle is real, but what even more real is giving it your all. It’s really owning it. Being consistent, committed, and confident is what’s really gonna drive you to whatever goal you’re trying to accomplish. Simple as that. So just go fucking do it already.
