Some things change the game. Here are some of them I wish I knew before
Take smart risks
You need to take risks and put your skin in the game, but choose which one you will take. Take small and smart risks so you can fail and use the error as a learning, not as a tombstone.
Learn how to use new tools
If you have a job and your tools can't do it, get a new tool. Be like a carpenter, do not use a hammer to cut a log or a saw to nail something, and don't think of the things a tool can't do. Look at what it can, and get a new one to solve a new problem.
Surround yourself with great people
Great people with great mindset, positivity, experience and drive. Find and keep them around you, and don't be afraid of investing in a mentor or coach if they have what you need. You will be buying time learning about their failures without needing to repeat them.
