We have all learned & done a lot in 10 years.
I had a son & got divorced.
I left office life & went solo.
I met the true love of my life & gained 2 bonus daughters.
I strategically launched digital presences for many brands.
& this is what I’ve learned through it all

GO TO CONFERENCES & EVENTS
For the content & the people.
It’s Twitter IRL & you will love the company you are in.
I met some of my best friends on Twitter/at a conference, and I have a lot of them to thank for my career opportunities & growth.
Go to learn & get inspired.

DON’T BITE YOUR TONGUE
Especially in strategy / ideation meetings.
If you don’t want to execute on a dumb idea, speak up. Speak up in a strategically polite way & offer an alerternative or a really good reason not to do something.
Even if you are junior. Especially if.

OUTSOURCE
No, not to third world countries to save money.
Outsource what you don’t know & what you’re not good at. Learn this lesson sooner than most of us.
Sure, you can figure out how to code a website, but someone already knows how - and they are good at it.

STAY HAPPY
If you’re not happy at work, in life, where you live or who you spend your time with - do something about it.
Don’t stay married for the kid.
Don’t stay at a shitty job for security.
Fire clients that suck you dry & make you cry.

BE PRIVATE even if you’re public
No one needs to know your every move, and I’m not just talking about meal pics & diaper changes.
I quit blogging.
I had to become more private bc of a nosy person & at first it stressed me out, but then my memories became way more special.

REPUTATION MATTERS
Your personal reputation.
Your company’s reputation.
Online & offline.
Manage it. All of it.

POST WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
I’m all for providing value & being a thought leader, but writing & photography is a hobby and therapy for so many.
My Instagram has turned into 99% cetaceans posts - because I’m more private & because the ocean has been so good to me this year.

BE AUTHENTIC
Don’t buy or do things “for the gram”
The gram won’t care about your debt & they won’t remember the flashy thing you posted in a few days. ( http://Instagram.com/ChelseaRhane )

CELEBRATE OTHERS
Don’t let distance grow between you and others because of their fame and/or success.
Celebrate successes. Learn from others. Be inspired to kick ass, yourself.
Jealousy is an ugly & harmful thing.
