“Patience is a competitive advantage. In a surprising number of fields, you can find success if you are simply willing to do the reasonable thing longer than most people.”

Steve Jobs delivered the commencement speech at Stanford University on June 12, 2005.

16 years later, its wisdom remains.

THREAD: Lessons from Steve Jobs (on careers, startups, and life): Image
Develop Independent Views

To carve your own path - in your career or life - you have to develop your own views.

Steve Jobs originally went to college because it was what he was supposed to do after graduating high school.

He dropped out when he couldn’t see the value in it…
“I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. So I decided to drop out...it was one of the best decisions I ever made."

Don't chart your course based on someone else's map for your life.

Develop independent views.

Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.

But contrary to what you’ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.

THREAD: 20 lifelong learning habits you can start developing today.
Stimulate Dynamically

The mind is a muscle - it needs to be stimulated dynamically to continue to grow.

Don’t rely on one “exercise” - develop a menu of options.

Write, read, listen, watch. Solve puzzles, play games. Enjoy it!

Stimulate dynamically, learn dynamically.
Build Learning Circles

The most powerful learning is communal, not individual.

Build learning circles with other intellectually curious minds.

Engage regularly with no set intention or goal.

Community is everything. Embrace it.

Ideas are cheap, execution is expensive.

I love this decision-making “razor” from Julie. Tailor your decision-making process to the type of decision you are making.

I’m excited to launch my job board, where I curate and share unique roles in finance and tech every week.

The goal? To promote access and spread awareness of amazing companies.

1/ Yesterday's soft launch of the job board (at the end of my hiring process thread) was a crazy success.

1.5K+ unique viewers
950+ jobs clicked
150+ applications sent

in 24 hours!

but we are just getting started...

You can find The Bloomboard here: pallet.xyz/list/thebloomb…

The hiring process is ultra-competitive.

But you’ve incorrectly been told that the only way to stand out is by having fancy degrees and credentials.

THREAD: 20 ways to stand out in a hiring process (that don’t involve your resume):
Do Your Research

Before an interview, spend a few hours researching the company and role.

At a minimum, learn the company mission, read up on recent news on the company or its market, and study the backgrounds of the key leaders.

Google is a powerful asset. Use it.
Embrace “I Don’t Know”

You can’t know the answer to every question.

And you know what? That’s ok!

Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” - but then follow it with a plan to acquire that information.

“I don’t know, but I’ll dig in and follow up with an email.”

Then follow up!

Humans are astonishingly bad at setting goals.

We consistently establish targets that invite manipulation.

THREAD: A mental model on goal setting and unintended consequences:
Goodhart’s Law is a simple mental model:

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

If a measure of performance becomes a stated goal, humans tend to optimize for it, regardless of any associated consequences.

The measure loses its value as a measure!
Goodhart’s Law is named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who referenced the concept in a 1975 article on British monetary policy.

Goodhart wrote that, “Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.”
