Time Stamps
- If you don't love what you do, you need to pick a new career. Don't pursue something just because someone else had success in it, do it for yourself.
- Don't try to do everything at once. Delegate it out.
- Surround yourself with rockstars and allow them to shine.
- Value yourself high, no one else will.
- Keep evolving. You will never "get there". You need to stay hungry and open to new opportunities by learning about the new trends and practices of your industry.
