1. Acquire a skill you love

This is the foundation of your career and will serve you for the rest of your life. A skill you love is the asset you will use to help others succeed, which is the foundation of business.

 

 

2. Create things and fail (a lot)

When I told a friend about the importance of failure, he asked a clarifying question, “But the goal isn’t failure, right?” It’s true. It’s not. Nobody wants to fail, but failure means something completely different to an entrepreneur.

 

3. Make big asks

Big asks accelerate your career.

A big ask is an audacious, bold proposal to do something that outsizes your current capacity to do it. A big ask could take the form of an email, a conversation, a phone call, a tweet, or a direct message over social. It could easily get rejected or ignored. But if it goes through, it could change the course of your career forever.
