While you will have supervisors to support and guide you, you are the true owner and master of your destiny. It's important for you be mindful of where you want to go and to be ambitious in your plans to grow and learn. Drive, tenacity and taking risks are critical for success in this industry. They are important in moving your career forward, and equally important in moving the industry forward.
it’s your career
if you haven’t noticed, lots of people want to tell you what is best for you
We think success is dependent on extending the passion you’ve already created to a broader audience.
what’s not important to you?
know what you want
there are so many ways to define success
don’t go with assumptions
be honest with yourself
what’s important to you
what do you really want
what is most important (because tradeoffs are inevitable)
don’t assume it’s what everyone else wants
life and career
connect them to your values, to you
give people the why
make sure they know why it’s important to you, what it will allow you to do/become
keep it open-ended
confidants, personal board of directors
they will make it better
they will help you think it thought
timing is everything
people forget, but they will appreciate the reminder
don’t be afraid to remind them of what you want (and what you can do)
seems impossible to imagine a time when you’re feeling uncomfortable, but it will happen
the 100th time you’ve written a brief
the 1,000 campaign you’ve launched
being uncomfortable means that you are doing something new
it means you are growing & learning
you should always feel uncomfortable about something you’re doing
what’s next
what are you curious about
what would i like to try
your attitude will determine your opportunity
what does this tell me about who I want to be
what does this tell me about who I don’t want to be
it’s your career
you can let it happen
or make it happen
