8 months ago I made a complete life turnaround.

Went from a 19 year old college student to remote marketing professional.

🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

Here are 10 things I WISH I knew when I began my journey…

#dropout #marketing #web3
1. Learn something new everyday

Learning about a new startup, NFT project, or idea will make you 🤏 that much more interesting when talking with others, and they’ll wanna share what they know to.

Ex: Take courses on Udemy, YouTube, medium articles, books, podcasts, ANYTHING
2. Connect with people everyday ☎️

When you’re first starting out you want as many new perspectives as you can get.

Of course some will cancel each other out but this will…

+help you find your true interests
+give you a starting point
+new connections/friends
3. Treat networking as if you are making friends no one wants to meet a ▪️SQUARE▪️

Think abt your friendships, are you fake or authentic? So why would you act fake around people you are trying to do business with?

Point is be authentic, your experience will be more enjoyable
4. Connections are ✨KEY✨

Every job offer I’ve gotten came from originally approaching a stranger or being introduced through a friend/acquaintance.

Be social, and follow up. It’s pivotal towards reaching any form of status.
5. Stop worrying abt numbers

Followers, salary, connections, NFTs, whatever the metric it’s very easy to get in your head abt these numbers.

The least amount of time you spend thinking abt them the happier you will be. They will come in time, TRUST
6. Work your hardest, adopt a stoic philosophy, and meditate 🧘‍♂️

It is so easy to get in your head about things you can’t control.

Mediation is key to a clear mind.

Additionally, give it your all and the universe will reward you (someone is always noticing).
7. When it comes to productivity STAY IN YOUR LANE.

Everyone has a different method of working, some thrive off little sleep and 80 hr weeks, others can be just as effective in 20.

You’ll be more unhappy and less productive if work takes over
8. Stop asking…JUST DO

If you are working for someone it is better to ask for forgiveness then to ask for permission.

If you see something that needs to be done just go do it. Trust me those higher up notice.
9. Ask yourself “why” questions

There are constantly reminders on how we can improve EVERY aspect of our lives, we just need to think it through.

Questions like “why do I want a social media following,” help us uncover hidden motivators and unlock ANSWER🔓
10. Variety

Most of us become unhappy when we do the same thing everyday. Try to find a couple ways to get out and do something different.

We don’t want life to become a chore now do we??
11. Get ready (Bonus)

The road to “success” is a long and windy road and you’ll never be satisfied, that’s where the motivation stems from.

In a few months I achieved my dreams for the end of the year. Now my mind is focused on the next thing

Point being…just enjoy the ride.
12. If you read through all this your a g and I appreciate you

Pls don’t be afraid to shoot me a DM

Would love to get this out in front of everyone that needs it so feel free to ♥️ and 🔁
