When we start our careers, it feels like we should have the line to success all planned out.

But, if I’ve learned anything the past 10 years, it’s actually a squiggly line of changing direction and stumbling across new interests.

This has been my career so far 👇👩🏻‍💻

18 → Chose not to go to university, even though teachers told me I’d fail if I didn’t 😅

19 → Finished my Apprenticeship in Digital Marketing, at a time where they paid £120 a week (it’s much better now, I’m told!)

20 → Joined a PR agency after two years as a social media assistant 📝

21 → Worked on the press team for the world's biggest AV Tech Conference.

22 → Brought Digital Marketing services into the traditional PR agency I worked for 🙋🏻‍♀️

23 → Quit my PR job after four years to freelance. I had my eyes set on working for creators but didn’t know how to get there.

24 → Spent two years working with small business owners, helping them build their personal brand. Grew my own Twitch community to 2k in this time too 🌟

25 → Applied for a job on @AliAbdaal's (YouTuber, 5M Subs) start-up team as a content writer, and spent the next year taking on 6 different roles.

26 → Became Ali’s Head of Socials. I grew his accounts by half a million in 1 year, worked with amazing brand sponsors, and coached hundreds of creators as part of the Part-Time YouTuber Academy 🙏

27 → Quit my job to travel for 6 months while working for new creators. Currently sat writing this on the ninth stop of my trip, in Indonesia.

28 → Soon, the next chapter 🚀

Looking back, a lot of my career has been fuelled by a healthy sense of delusion and a willingness to try and fail.

If 18-year-old Becky knew what was to come, she’d pinch herself.

Try having a look back on what you've done so far. I have to say, this has helped me to feel even more inspired ✨

Play long-term games with long-term people.

[Becks @project_becks]

@Hunter_Weiss @bymaximise hell yeah

[Becks @project_becks]

@p_millerd Congrats! Buying a copy for me and the boyfriend immediately. One of the things we bonded over was The Pathless Path 😅

C) Eat the frog

The plan is -
6:45am wake up
7-10am work on most important task
10-11am exercise (run, spin, walk)
11am-12pm shower, eat, journal
12-4pm second work block

Let's see how this helps with focus, creativity, and feeling like I have my evening free 🧠

[Becks @project_becks]

I'm a sucker for life-optimising, and my recent obsession is finding a morning routine that works best and fuels creativity

I've tried:

A) Exercise first: run, spin, or long walk
B) Journal first: morning pages
C) Now trialling: eat the frog

What works best for you?

[Becks @project_becks]

B) Journal first

7-8am write 6 pages

I use Julia Cameron's Morning Pages to battle imposter syndrome as I build my business. But I have found sitting down to write first thing sends me into bigger picture mode, rather than 'what do I need to get done today' mode

[Becks @project_becks]

@jamiewhiffen ooh hello

[Becks @project_becks]

@gwilymsw Like the chilled recap vibes Gwilym!

Pre-packaging your thoughts is a fun way to put it - I've found morning pages SO helpful recently. 6 pages of consciousness every day really helps you get to the bottom of things. Should probably turn them into tweets 😅

[Becks @project_becks]

@p_millerd Your first book inspired me to quit my job and travel, so excited for what your next book will do 😅

[Becks @project_becks]

@KhanStopMe you need a deep dish immediately. if it doesn't look like a pie, don't accept it

[Paul Millerd @p_millerd]

what if you aimed at satisfaction with your work instead of "success"?

[Becks @project_becks]

@gwilymsw what message did it have?

[Becks @project_becks]

@ohamaruri No, and I think it's possible for creators to do it naturally without having to force anything

Life of Tom (Syndicate) is a great example of this, aside from the Casey Neistat example we all know and love https://t.co/AjeOuq5ROG

[Becks @project_becks]

@janaskulova @AskMichia @becksplays_ You're the sweetest Jana!

[Becks @project_becks]

@GeorgeBlackman_ @TellaHQ oh hello 👀 this looks much more fun than Loom

[Becks @project_becks]

Everything I’ve achieved so far has been because of complete delulu & a willingness to step into the unknown:

→ didn’t go to Uni even though my teachers told me I’d fail if I didn’t

→ quit my job in tech PR because I wanted to break into new industries

→ joined @AliAbdaal's team as a content writer, having never written a real YouTube script

→ pitched myself for Head of Content, even though I felt huge imposter syndrome (and got it)

→ quit my job again to digital nomad and figure out what’s next

Why not try?

[Becks @project_becks]

@GeorgeBlackman_ I can only get on board if they use it for comedic effect, otherwise no bueno

[Becks @project_becks]

@heydannymiranda Yes, but only if there's mutual respect of each other's individual journey, otherwise it'll turn into a weird battle of who needs to change

[Jana Škulová @janaskulova]

Don’t get hung up on upholding a perfect posting schedule.

Keep in mind this is a perfect schedule and a lot of big creators (with a full-time team) don’t even have it, so take it easy.

The best schedule is the one you can stick to!
