Make Claude your peer reviewer and ask it to do a mock review of your paper.

Best part: Claude is free.

Here's how to turn Claude into a peer reviewer:

If a formal observation is the first time you are in a teachers classroom, then put the evaluation form away. Just observe the greatness of your teacher, then leave a note of thanks, praise or encouragement. Relationships first!

Network like your life depends on it.

You need a team.

You are limited on your own.

Build a world-class network by:

•Helping as many people as you can.

•Develop a reputation for treating people well.

•This gives you an unlimited compounding of future opportunities

Leverage Being Misunderstood:

Being misunderstood is bad right? Wrong!

Bad question:

Can you stop caring what people think?

Good question:

Whose opinions matter most?

Surround yourself with people whose opinions you care about.
