“Everything is
figure-out-able.” No matter what challenge or obstacle you face, whether it’s
personal, professional, or global, there’s a path ahead. You’ll find a way or
make a way, if you’re willing to be relentless, stay nimble, and keep taking
action. ~When things go wrong, because rather than wasting time or energy on
the problem, you shift immediately to brainstorming solutions. (P. 452)
2.
Pursue every project,
idea, or industry that genuinely lights you up, regardless of how unrelated
each idea is, or how unrealistic a long-term career in that field might now
seem. You’ll connect the dots later. Work your fucking ass off and develop a
reputation for going above and beyond in all situations. Do whatever it takes
to earn enough money, so that you can go all in on experiences or learning
opportunities that put you in close proximity to people you admire, because
proximity is power. Show up in every moment like you’re meant to be there,
because your energy precedes anything you could possibly say. (P. 453)
3.
Ignore the advice to
specialize in one thing, unless you’re certain that’s how you want to roll.
Ignore giving a shit about what other people think about your career choices or
what you do for a living—especially if what you do for a living funds your
career choices. Ignore the impulse to dial down your enthusiasm for fear it’ll
be perceived as unprofessional. (P. 453)
4.
(Choose) one platform
to focus on at first. Before committing to another content channel or social
platform, ask yourself, why exactly do you want to be on this platform? What
are the specific business reasons you’re going to commit time, energy, and
resources to regularly creating and engaging in that space? Does this really
make sense given your other time commitments and big-picture goals? (P.
453-454)

Whenever I feel
unfocused or stuck on a particular issue, I do some kind of intense physical
workout. Could be a spin class or a circuit training series with great, loud
music. The goal is full sensory immersion, which does a few key things. First,
it clears my mental and emotional cache. But more important, it opens up what I
can best describe as a channel of inner intelligence that I rarely, if ever,
access through focused thinking. Without fail, I get some spontaneous download
that leads to a clear plan of action to move ahead. For me, creativity lives in
the body, not the mind.
