Author quotes
Become really good at what you do. If you’re an expert in digital media and marketing, become the best at that. Business is business. No matter the industry, many of the roles are transferrable and we all want to make competitive hires - we want those who are the best at what they do. The specifics of an industry can be learned.
The most important lesson I’ve learned is how to fail. Most people stay so singularly focused on success, but the reality is that in a daring and challenging career, things often don’t go the way that you expected or intended. What you do at that point is so very important - not just what you do, but your mindset about it.
Every significant opportunity that I have been offered has come through some form of networking and active management of my professional relationships. There is no substitute for good old fashioned networking.
I strive for excellence, but not for perfection. At some point I had to let perfectionism go - it takes up energy, I need to get actual work done.
