When I was still working my #1 goal was to build my resume

Rules I lived by when working...

- NEVER let a job fire you
- Exceed all expectations
- NEVER go to a job that’s paying less
- Try to go up in ranking

At 19 I had “marketing development manager” under my belt...
This helped big time, not only was this a manager role but a manager role at 19!

It gave me leverage over people who were older than me because most jobs want younger people for long term

That title & my skill set in sales helped me get into car sales at 20

HUGE pay increase
Look I know we talk a lot about jobs & 9-5’s but that’s the foundation to everything else

Don’t just be out here working just to work

Work with a purpose

Once you figured out your skill set add a side hustle that relates to it & hustle your ass off

That’s how you grow...
