28. • Be there for the team and take even the smallest
job or project seriously. Every job and every project
you have matters. Focus on doing the best you can
do at every opportunity. Focus on networking, earning
trust and obtaining powerful references. The better
you do at the small projects, the better and larger
projects you will be trusted with. I have seen many
people ruin their careers by holding out until the
perfect job, while the rest of us were gaining
experience and later hiring them to work for us.

93. • While having a degree in marketing or business
can be helpful, I think proof of experience might
be even more important for our new graduates. If
you have a thriving YouTube channel, a well-
traveled blog or a bunch of engaged connections
on LinkedIn, you might be in an even better
position to showcase your talents than that
expensive piece of paper. While I do have my MA,
its my experience online that has attracted the
Fortune 500 job offers (that I have turned down in
favor of running my own business.)
