The smartest way to start your career
When starting out, you hear two conflicting messages:
"Commit! Become great at something!"
"Experiment! Keep your options open! You don’t know what you’ll want later!"
The truth? You need both. But not in the way most people think.
Here’s the key:
Pick something, go all in, and stay open to other options.
When you're starting out, you don't need to find your “forever career.” You do need to choose a direction that forces you to develop a network, discipline, and skills.
But here’s where people mess up:
They either stay stuck in something they don’t like,
Or they dabble forever, never developing enough skill to be valuable.
Go deep.
Build assets, especially skills, network, credibility.
Then — if needed — pivot.
And bring your assets with you.
