networks are real 🥹 but its not as complicated as it sounds. make friends, people you genuinely like, reach out to them, meet new people. you will skyrocket with the help of good people around you
had a sudden call with a client VP on something outside my scope and I tried (failed) to answer 😂😭🥹🥲 stressful but genuinely, god i love my job hahahaha
I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
the single greatest thing you can do for your sanity is to take life seriously. we live in a profoundly irony-poisoned society and you cut off 1/100th of what life can offer you by being a goofball. the jester may be near the king but he does not sit at the hand of the father
All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job.
They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.
“Hi Mariah, don't overtime ha. You can continue let's say weekend if you have the time or Monday morning”
I swear it’s really the people that makes the job
I highly recommend the “Let them” method. You accept people as they are, even if their actions/opinions differ from what you might want/expect. You stop trying to manage or control external factors & instead concentrate on what you can control: your own reactions & choices.
What you do in private, shows in public. Reading shows in a conversation. Your diet shows in energy. Your discipline shows in confidence. Your focus shows in your results. You are what you cultivate when no one is watching. Prioritize your time & focus on discipline/consistency.
