What do I really need to know to succeed at work?
Advice I wish a mentor had given me.
A friend asked me to mentor a new hire at Google.
I don’t think I’ll be able to do so since
I’m taking a break to focus on other things. Important things. Things like:
- Like becoming one of the best standup comics in America.
- Or making a dent on racial inequality.
- Or growing a beard that isn’t embarrassing to wear in public.
Instead, I thought I’d write a quick bit of mentorly advice about success and happiness at work.
6000+ words later, I realized I was in too deep.
This is the result of that.
Maybe you’ll get some use out of it, too.
Live By Design
Because success != happiness.
The Investing Lifestyle
Because time is your most important resource.
Bring Your Own Beer
Because it’s up to you to have a good time.
Process Over Product
Because you can only own your own.
Big Wins
Because most things just aren’t that important.
Staying Sane in Crazy Times
Because there’s a world outside of work, apparently.
Other People’s Advice
Because what do I know?
I’ll add other people’s advice here, as I come across it.
Read these NOW
These books are all game changers. Start practicing what’s in them and noting the results.
That’s all I’ve got!
That’s literally everything that I know that I know, right now.
