  • 503: The 4 Things I Wish I had Known Earlier in my Career
    Mar 12 2025

    We all have success factors we learned the hard way. But what if you were able to learn these concepts early on? And can these factors still make a difference in your career no matter what stage you are in? You bet!

    Whether you are in the early stages of your career, or you have taken a new job and are eager to start off on the right foot, these helpful tips can help strengthen your reputation and chances for getting ahead.

    1. Don’t dread failure: why mistakes and fails can serve us more than success
    2. Be genuine in your relationship building: no one likes a faker!
    3. Focus on the “how” for your long-term reputation
    4. Stay open: others may see big potential in you that you don’t see in yourself!
