All human beings
are entrepreneurs.
When we were in the caves,
we were all self-employed...
finding our food, feeding
ourselves. That’s where
human history began. As
civilization came, we suppressed
it. We became “labor” because
they stamped us, “You are labor.”
We forgot that we are entrepreneurs.

Reputation Over Resume

As the war for top talent is at an all-time high, our need for capable teammates to lighten our load has hit the "yesterday is too late" warning level, and our own desire to get much more out of our career trajectories is somewhere between red and white-hot, a simple question is rarely answered correctly: what are we to do to find the right people and to stand out ourselves? While the traditional resume has been enhanced by better design techniques (infographics! Presi! personal websites!) and smartly maintained social presences, these mediums can (still) be too easily manipulated in the applicant's favor—just like that supposedly objective reference call that gets made in the final stages of most hiring decisions. The answer to finding the right talent and / or positioning ourselves better therefore can't be digital, analog, or even external. Rather, it comes down to one simple thing truth: professional excellence. Either you have it, or you need to work hard to achieve it. This presentation contains practical, next-level tips to help you become the best version of your professional self (for job seekers) and help you better vett talent (for job hirers). Come away armed with the tactics you need to grow and nurture your skills, deliver world class work product, earn trust and respect, successfully collaborate, and generally take your game up a notch so you advance your career.

28 Pitching Essentials

If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum. As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience. Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.

To adapt to the CHALLENGES of professional life today...
We need to rediscover our ENTREPRENEURIAL INSTINCTS
      and use them to forge new sorts of careers.
Whether you’re a lawyer or
doctor or teacher or engineer
 or even a business owner...
Today you need to also think of
yourself as an entrepreneur at the
helm of at least one living, growing
start-up venture: YOUR CAREER.

This document discusses better collaboration between agencies and clients. It notes that historically, agencies did not provide clients with a full understanding of the creative process or ideas, and clients did not know how to properly evaluate work. It advocates that agencies start presentations with the agreed upon creative brief to provide necessary context before presenting ideas. Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.

Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods. Experience is more than just an interface.

Proactively build and leverage your network, as opportunities are connected to people. Seek to help others within your network. 3. Take intelligent risks, such as internships or side projects, to learn and discover the best career path, rather than avoiding risk which is risky itself in a changing world. Playing it too safe minimizes learning.

Every day we move through dozens of spaces and places. We participate in lots of inter-personal interactions, conversations and (god help us) meetings. And we spend bursts of time working alone. But how much awareness do we bring to the spaces and places we inhabit while we're in them? How much intentionality do we bring to our inter-personal exchanges? How much creativity do we foster in our own solo working situations? Often, not nearly enough. Focus is limited, attention is split, and opportunities are lost. This session will explore purpose-driven approaches to the places, people and situations we encounter every day. With an emphasis on how to be truly engaged in where we are, mindful of what we're doing and focused on helping creativity flourish.

Now, in The Road to Wealth, Allen takes a giant leap forward by proving that any reasonably intelligent American can drastically improve his or her financial situation in only 90 days. To this Mr. Allen made the challenge — “Send me to any unemployment line. Let me select someone who is broke, out of work, discouraged. Let me teach him in two days’ time the secrets of wealth. And in 90 days he’ll be back on his feet, with $5,000 cash in the bank, never to set foot in an unemployment line again.”

A sales person is a tool to get your offering out to prospects and/or customers. It’s true we can control the offering and we can shape the message presented. But it’s the Sales person’s style, presentation and skills that will determine how the customer or prospect will feel about usIT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS. IT’S HOW THEY SAY IT

Second, you
PROACTIVELY COLLABORATE
  on opportunities together.
You keep your antenna especially attuned to an
 ally’s INTERESTS, and when it makes sense
     to pursue something jointly, you do so.
Third, you talk up an ally to other friends.
    You PROMOTE his or her brand.
When an ally comes into conflict,
 you DEFEND him, and stand up for his reputation.
And he does the same for you when times get tough.

2. WEAKER TIES AND
  ACQUAINTANCES
While not as vital as allies, acquaintances usually
  INTRODUCE DIVERSITY to your network.
They tend to hail from different social circles or
industries and so they can be useful to find opportunities
    or intelligence OUTSIDE YOUR INNER CIRCLE.
While there’s a limit to the number of
people you can ever know at one time...

Recommended for you

...you are part of a broader network of
       FRIENDS OF FRIENDS and
  FRIENDS OF FRIENDS OF FRIENDS
—second and third degree connections—
for which there is VIRTUALLY NO LIMIT.
Start-up of You, Visual Summary
Your network is


BIGGER
 than you think.
If you’re connected to a couple hundred people on LinkedIn,
     you’re actually at the center of an extended network
     MORE THAN TWO MILLION PEOPLE STRONG.

Recommended for you

If you’re not asking for or giving INTRODUCTIONS
    to these second or third degree connections,
      you are not fully leveraging your network.
Finally, remember
that relationships
are like any living thing...
If they’re not getting
STRONGER,
they’re getting
WEAKER.

making introductions,

Rather, they are marked by

You can develop HABITS OF BEHAVIOR that increase
   the likelihood you find great career opportunities.

When you do something, you stir the

Recommended for you

...seemingly random ideas, people, and places will
collide and form new combinations and opportunities.
Start-up of You, Visual Summary
Start-up of You, Visual Summary
TAP THE NETWORKS AND ASSOCIATIONS OF PEOPLE.

Recommended for you

OPPORTUNITIES do not float like clouds in the sky.
They're attached to PEOPLE.
If you're looking for an OPPORTUNITY,
including one that has a financial payoff,
you're really looking for a PERSON.
Join CONFERENCES and CLUBS.

Recommended for you

Better yet, START YOUR OWN.
There will be times when your back’s against the wall,
when you’re low on resources or time, and when you’ll
 have to get scrappy and HUSTLE for opportunities.
Constraints can be a blessing in disguise:
it’s amazing how RESOURCEFUL one can get
when one has no choice but to be resourceful.
The founders of Airbnb were running out of cash,
       but they still believed in their idea.

Recommended for you

To buy more time to figure out a way to scale their business,
    they did what any hustling entrepreneur would do...
They sold cereal.
Riding presidential election fever, they developed
custom-designed cereal boxes for the candidates.
And the extra cash — $20,000 in profit — bought them
enough time to figure out how to turn a consistent profit.

CHAPTER 7: WHO YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU KNOW
Risk tends to get a BAD rap.
We associate it with things like
      LOSING MONEY
    in the stock market...
...or riding a motorcycle
WITHOUT A HELMET.

Recommended for you

But risk isn’t the enemy—it’s a
PERMANENT PART OF LIFE.
In fact, being proactively INTELLIGENT
about risk is a prerequisite for seizing
those breakout opportunities.
There’s COMPETITION for good opportunities.
And because of that, if you can intelligently take on risk,
    you will FIND OPPORTUNITIES others miss.

Recommended for you

Where others see a RED LIGHT...
...you’ll see GREEN.
EVERY possible career move contains RISK.
If you don’t have to seriously think about
the risk involved in a career opportunity...

Recommended for you

...it’s probably NOT the breakout opportunity you’re looking for.
Learning how to ACCURATELY ASSESS
 the level of risk in a situation isn’t easy.
Risk is both PERSONAL and SITUATIONAL.
What may be risky to you
may NOT be risky to someone else.

Recommended for you

Start-up of You, Visual Summary
So here are a few RULES OF THUMB for thinking
  about the risk associated with opportunities...
Overall, it’s probably

NOT AS RISKY
       as you think.
We’re wired for evolutionary reasons
     to OVERESTIMATE risk.

Recommended for you

If you can tolerate the
WORST-CASE OUTCOME,
      be open to it.
If the worst-case outcome means death, homelessness,
      or being permanently unemployed, AVOID IT.
DON’T CONFLATE UNCERTAINTY WITH RISK.
DON’T CONFLATE UNCERTAINTY WITH RISK.
       There will always be unknowns.

Recommended for you

DON’T CONFLATE UNCERTAINTY WITH RISK.
       There will always be unknowns.
         This doesn’t mean it’s risky.
You can never fully predict
how or when ILL-FORTUNE will strike.
Instead of placing faith in your ability
to anticipate all that could go wrong...
BUILD UP RESILIENCE
  to unimaginable blowup.

Recommended for you

Achieve stability by introducing low levels of volatility—
by introducing SMALL RISKS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Ideally, your day job has

VOLATILITY BUILT-IN.
A freelance editor has to

HUSTLE MORE
day-to-day than the staff editor.
An independent real estate agent
GOES HUNGRY
MORE DAYS
than the big-company agent.

Recommended for you

Those who
REGULARLY DEAL
WITH SMALL RISKS
   will never starve.

                      will never starve.
They will never be ENGULFED BY THE BIG RISKS.

CHAPTER 7: WHO YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU KNOW

Recommended for you

The most meaningful
way to differentiate
your company from
your competition, the
best way to put distance
between you and the
crowd, is to do an
outstanding job with
information. How you
gather, manage, and
use information will
determine whether
you win or lose.
—BILL GATES
This could not be truer today.
This could not be truer today.
  But the way we’ve been socialized to
think about information and knowledge is
 RADICALLY INSUFFICIENT.
Our educational system trains us to MEMORIZE FACTS
stored in textbooks and then regurgitate them on an exam.

Recommended for you

But as a modern professional,
    you can’t acquire knowledge this way,
because the knowledge you need isn’t static—
         IT’S ALWAYS CHANGING.
You CAN’T CRAM your brain with all the relevant
  information that might possibly be relevant to
    your careers, then deploy it on exam day.
In the world of work, EVERY DAY IS EXAM DAY.
EVERY DAY brings new, unpredictable
    challenges and decisions.

Recommended for you

Stockpiling facts won’t get you anywhere.
Stockpiling facts won’t get you anywhere.
What will get you somewhere is being able to access
 the information you need WHEN YOU NEED IT.
You get the intelligence you need to make good career
 decisions by TALKING TO PEOPLE in your network.
IT’S PEOPLE who help you understand your
assets, aspirations, and the market realities.

Recommended for you

IT’S PEOPLE who help you vet and get introduced
      to possible allies and trust connections.
IT’S PEOPLE who help you track the risk
     attached to a given opportunity.
What you get when you tap into other people’s
brains is called NETWORK INTELLIGENCE.
To pull intelligence from your network,
you need to MAP YOUR NETWORK
    so you know who knows what.

Recommended for you

Then you need to ask questions
that elicit USEFUL ANSWERS.
So START tapping into your network.
START investing in skills.
START pursuing breakout opportunities.

Recommended for you

  • 4. All human beings are entrepreneurs. When we were in the caves, we were all self-employed... finding our food, feeding ourselves. That’s where human history began. As civilization came, we suppressed it. We became “labor” because they stamped us, “You are labor.” We forgot that we are entrepreneurs. —MUHAMMAD YUNUS Nobel Peace Prize winner and microfinance pioneer
  • 5. To adapt to the CHALLENGES of professional life today...

  • 23. Zappos massively DIFFERENTIATED ITSELF from other e-commerce companies by offering free shipping both ways and 24/7 customer service via a locally staffed 1-800 number.

  • 25. CHART A CAREER PATH that sets you apart from other professionals.
  • 26. You don’t need to be better than all professionals.
  • 27. You don’t need to be better than all professionals. You just need to be better in a LOCAL, PROFESSIONAL NICHE.
  • 28. THREE DYNAMIC, CHANGING PUZZLE PIECES comprise your position in the market and, when paired with a plan, determine the course you should head in.

  • 35. One without the others DOESN’T WORK.
  • 36. Skills that can’t earn money WON’T GET YOU VERY FAR.
  • 37. Following your bliss but not being very good at your bliss WON’T BE TOO BLISSFUL after long.
  • 38. And being a slave to the market regardless of your likes and passions ISN’T SUSTAINABLE over the long run.
  • 39. One way to upgrade your competitive position is by upgrading your assets—i.e., INVESTING IN YOURSELF.
  • 40. You can also become more competitive by CHANGING THE ENVIRONMENT you play in.
  • 41. Some American basketball players not good enough to play in the NBA play SUCCESSFULLY in Europe.

  • 45. POPULAR CAREER PLANNING ADVICE says you should decide where you want to be in 10 years and then develop a plan for getting there.

  • 48. They presume A STATIC WORLD.
  • 49. They presume A STATIC WORLD. In fact, you CHANGE, the competition CHANGES, and the world CHANGES.
  • 50. They presume that fixed, accurate self-knowledge can be easily attained through INTROSPECTION.
  • 51. They presume that fixed, accurate self-knowledge can be easily attained through INTROSPECTION. In fact, your identity is not found through introspection but rather emerges through EXPERIMENTATION.
  • 52. Entrepreneurial career planning and adapting is about being FLEXIBLY PERSISTENT always ready to adapt, but also persistent in driving toward goals.
  • 53. MAKE EXPLICIT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHESES IN YOUR PLAN.
  • 54. MAKE EXPLICIT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHESES IN YOUR PLAN. You’ll never have complete certainty.
  • 55. MAKE EXPLICIT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHESES IN YOUR PLAN. Identify areas of incomplete knowledge about yourself or your industry...
  • 56. MAKE EXPLICIT THE ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHESES IN YOUR PLAN. ...and make plans that will help you FILL THOSE GAPS.
  • 58. PRIORITIZE LEARNING. > Just as start-ups in the early days prioritize learning over profitability...
  • 59. PRIORITIZE LEARNING. > ...so should you prioritize learning (soft assets) over cash salary (hard assets) for the majority of your career.
  • 60. PRIORITIZE LEARNING. > In the long run, you’ll likely lead A MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE, as well as make more money.
  • 62. LEARN BY DOING. ACTIONS, NOT PLANS, will generate the lessons that help you adapt to the next phase of your journey.
  • 64. THINK TWO STEPS AHEAD. What next move will MAXIMIZE the quantity and quality of follow-on opportunities?
  • 65. Then craft an experimental PLAN A, an alternative PLAN B, and an unchanging, certain PLAN Z.
  • 66. PLAN A What you’re doing now. Your current implementation of your competitive advantage.
  • 67. PLAN B You pivot to B when your plan isn’t working or when you discover a better way toward your goal.

  • 78. Relationships matter to your career no matter the organization or your level of seniority because, ultimately, EVERY JOB BOILS DOWN TO INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE.
  • 79. People control RESOURCES, OPPORTUNITIES, INFORMATION and the like.
  • 80. And THE PEOPLE YOU SPEND TIME WITH shape the person you are today and the person you aspire to be tomorrow.
  • 81. I Think of it as “I-to-the-We”. We An individual’s power is raised exponentially with the help of a team (a network).
  • 82. There are people you know in a PERSONAL context.
  • 83. There are people you know in a PROFESSIONAL context.
  • 84. Generally, you keep the two lives S E P A R A T E for reasons of both etiquette and potential conflict of loyalties.
  • 85. However, sometimes you’re PERSONAL friends with a PROFESSIONAL colleague.
  • 86. In these instances, THE CONTEXT in which you engage the person shapes the right approach.
  • 87. 2 There are two types of PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
  • 88. 1. ALLIES People you consult regularly for advice. You trust their JUDGMENT.
  • 89. Second, you PROACTIVELY COLLABORATE on opportunities together.
  • 90. You keep your antenna especially attuned to an ally’s INTERESTS, and when it makes sense to pursue something jointly, you do so.
  • 91. Third, you talk up an ally to other friends. You PROMOTE his or her brand.
  • 92. When an ally comes into conflict, you DEFEND him, and stand up for his reputation. And he does the same for you when times get tough.
  • 93. 2. WEAKER TIES AND ACQUAINTANCES
  • 94. While not as vital as allies, acquaintances usually INTRODUCE DIVERSITY to your network.
  • 95. They tend to hail from different social circles or industries and so they can be useful to find opportunities or intelligence OUTSIDE YOUR INNER CIRCLE.
  • 96. While there’s a limit to the number of people you can ever know at one time...
  • 97. ...you are part of a broader network of FRIENDS OF FRIENDS and FRIENDS OF FRIENDS OF FRIENDS —second and third degree connections— for which there is VIRTUALLY NO LIMIT.
  • 99. Your network is BIGGER than you think.
  • 100. If you’re connected to a couple hundred people on LinkedIn, you’re actually at the center of an extended network MORE THAN TWO MILLION PEOPLE STRONG.
  • 101. If you’re not asking for or giving INTRODUCTIONS to these second or third degree connections, you are not fully leveraging your network.
  • 102. Finally, remember that relationships are like any living thing...
  • 103. If they’re not getting STRONGER, they’re getting WEAKER.
  • 104. STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS by sending articles, making introductions, collaborating on projects, and staying in touch.
  • 105. Consider creating an INTERESTING PEOPLE FUND to which you automatically funnel a certain percentage of your paycheck.
  • 106. Use it to pay for coffees, lunches, and the occasional plane ticket to meet new people and shore up existing relationships.
  • 107. CHAPTER 1: ALL HUMANS ARE ENTREPRENEURS CHAPTER 2: DEVELOP A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE CHAPTER 3: PLAN TO ADAPT CHAPTER 4: IT TAKES A NETWORK CHAPTER 5: PURSUE BREAKOUT OPPORTUNITIES CHAPTER 6: TAKE INTELLIGENT RISKS CHAPTER 7: WHO YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU KNOW
  • 108. The trajectories of remarkable careers are NOT slow and steady up and to the right.
  • 109. Rather, they are marked by BREAKOUT OPPORTUNITIES —career experiences that lead to unusually rapid gains.
  • 110. You can develop HABITS OF BEHAVIOR that increase the likelihood you find great career opportunities.
  • 111. BE IN MOTION AND COURT SELECTIVE RANDOMNESS.
  • 112. When you do something, you stir the pot and introduce the possibility that...
  • 113. ...seemingly random ideas, people, and places will collide and form new combinations and opportunities.
  • 116. TAP THE NETWORKS AND ASSOCIATIONS OF PEOPLE.
  • 117. OPPORTUNITIES do not float like clouds in the sky.
  • 119. If you're looking for an OPPORTUNITY, including one that has a financial payoff, you're really looking for a PERSON.
  • 121. Better yet, START YOUR OWN.
  • 122. There will be times when your back’s against the wall, when you’re low on resources or time, and when you’ll have to get scrappy and HUSTLE for opportunities.
  • 123. Constraints can be a blessing in disguise: it’s amazing how RESOURCEFUL one can get when one has no choice but to be resourceful.
  • 124. The founders of Airbnb were running out of cash, but they still believed in their idea.
  • 125. To buy more time to figure out a way to scale their business, they did what any hustling entrepreneur would do...
  • 127. Riding presidential election fever, they developed custom-designed cereal boxes for the candidates.
  • 128. And the extra cash — $20,000 in profit — bought them enough time to figure out how to turn a consistent profit.
  • 129. CHAPTER 1: ALL HUMANS ARE ENTREPRENEURS CHAPTER 2: DEVELOP A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE CHAPTER 3: PLAN TO ADAPT CHAPTER 4: IT TAKES A NETWORK CHAPTER 5: PURSUE BREAKOUT OPPORTUNITIES CHAPTER 6: TAKE INTELLIGENT RISKS CHAPTER 7: WHO YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU KNOW
  • 130. Risk tends to get a BAD rap.
  • 131. We associate it with things like LOSING MONEY in the stock market...
  • 132. ...or riding a motorcycle WITHOUT A HELMET.
  • 133. But risk isn’t the enemy—it’s a PERMANENT PART OF LIFE.
  • 134. In fact, being proactively INTELLIGENT about risk is a prerequisite for seizing those breakout opportunities.
  • 135. There’s COMPETITION for good opportunities.
  • 136. And because of that, if you can intelligently take on risk, you will FIND OPPORTUNITIES others miss.
  • 137. Where others see a RED LIGHT...
  • 139. EVERY possible career move contains RISK.
  • 140. If you don’t have to seriously think about the risk involved in a career opportunity...
  • 141. ...it’s probably NOT the breakout opportunity you’re looking for.
  • 142. Learning how to ACCURATELY ASSESS the level of risk in a situation isn’t easy.
  • 143. Risk is both PERSONAL and SITUATIONAL.
  • 144. What may be risky to you may NOT be risky to someone else.
  • 146. So here are a few RULES OF THUMB for thinking about the risk associated with opportunities...
  • 147. Overall, it’s probably NOT AS RISKY as you think.
  • 148. We’re wired for evolutionary reasons to OVERESTIMATE risk.
  • 149. If you can tolerate the WORST-CASE OUTCOME, be open to it.
  • 150. If the worst-case outcome means death, homelessness, or being permanently unemployed, AVOID IT.
  • 152. DON’T CONFLATE UNCERTAINTY WITH RISK. There will always be unknowns.
  • 153. DON’T CONFLATE UNCERTAINTY WITH RISK. There will always be unknowns. This doesn’t mean it’s risky.
  • 154. You can never fully predict how or when ILL-FORTUNE will strike.
  • 155. Instead of placing faith in your ability to anticipate all that could go wrong...
  • 156. BUILD UP RESILIENCE to unimaginable blowup.
  • 157. Achieve stability by introducing low levels of volatility— by introducing SMALL RISKS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
  • 158. Ideally, your day job has VOLATILITY BUILT-IN.
  • 159. A freelance editor has to HUSTLE MORE day-to-day than the staff editor.
  • 160. An independent real estate agent GOES HUNGRY MORE DAYS than the big-company agent.
  • 161. Those who REGULARLY DEAL WITH SMALL RISKS will never starve.
  • 162. CONTROLLED BURNS Those who REGULARLY DEAL WITH SMALL RISKS will never starve.
  • 163. They will never be ENGULFED BY THE BIG RISKS.
  • 164. CHAPTER 1: ALL HUMANS ARE ENTREPRENEURS CHAPTER 2: DEVELOP A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE CHAPTER 3: PLAN TO ADAPT CHAPTER 4: IT TAKES A NETWORK CHAPTER 5: PURSUE BREAKOUT OPPORTUNITIES CHAPTER 6: TAKE INTELLIGENT RISKS CHAPTER 7: WHO YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU KNOW
  • 165. The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition, the best way to put distance between you and the crowd, is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose. —BILL GATES
  • 166. This could not be truer today.
  • 167. This could not be truer today. But the way we’ve been socialized to think about information and knowledge is RADICALLY INSUFFICIENT.
  • 168. Our educational system trains us to MEMORIZE FACTS stored in textbooks and then regurgitate them on an exam.
  • 169. But as a modern professional, you can’t acquire knowledge this way, because the knowledge you need isn’t static— IT’S ALWAYS CHANGING.
  • 170. You CAN’T CRAM your brain with all the relevant information that might possibly be relevant to your careers, then deploy it on exam day.
  • 171. In the world of work, EVERY DAY IS EXAM DAY.
  • 172. EVERY DAY brings new, unpredictable challenges and decisions.
  • 173. Stockpiling facts won’t get you anywhere.
  • 174. Stockpiling facts won’t get you anywhere. What will get you somewhere is being able to access the information you need WHEN YOU NEED IT.
  • 175. You get the intelligence you need to make good career decisions by TALKING TO PEOPLE in your network.
  • 176. IT’S PEOPLE who help you understand your assets, aspirations, and the market realities.
  • 177. IT’S PEOPLE who help you vet and get introduced to possible allies and trust connections.
  • 178. IT’S PEOPLE who help you track the risk attached to a given opportunity.
  • 179. What you get when you tap into other people’s brains is called NETWORK INTELLIGENCE.
  • 180. To pull intelligence from your network, you need to MAP YOUR NETWORK so you know who knows what.
  • 181. Then you need to ask questions that elicit USEFUL ANSWERS.
  • 182. So START tapping into your network.
  • 183. START investing in skills.
  • 184. START pursuing breakout opportunities.
  • 185. But most of all, START forging your own differentiated career plans.
  • 186. But most of all, START forging your own differentiated career plans. START adapting these rules to your own adaptive life.
  • 187. For life in PERMANENT BETA, the trick is to NEVER STOP STARTING.
