  1. Look.
  2. Remember your career is your own.
  3. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to do anything.
  4. Define your relationship with your audience, build a business with and around them.
  5. You don’t need to be on the latest app.
  6. You don’t need to listen to “experts.” Experts don’t know your audience like you do.
  7. So seek advice, not instructions or permission.
  8. And for fuck’s sake.
  9. Please.
  10. Don’t look to lists for wisdom. Read stories. Talk to friends. You’re the one with the vision and don’t let anyone take that from you. So when your gut tells you something feels right remember the golden rule: fuck it.
