1. Optimize for 'Career Capital'

• Connect with past self, your deep-down self-knowledge, inner child e.g. past journal, diaries, ask parents, meditate

• People/peers often push us away from true desires

• Career Capital - What you know how to do and who you know

• Qualifications don't matter, your actions do.

• Develop skills to ensure you're anti-fragile e.g. Self-education, Networking, Marketing, Design, Programming, Writing

2. Explore Unthought Knowns

3. Let go of 'Formula's of Success'

• School/Uni is a formula, learn, test, grades and repeat
• Real world doesn't have a formula, make your own
• Understanding your own success and happiness creates your own formula

A (grade) students end up working for C (grade) students

4. Become Uncomfortable in Uncertainty

• The 'Formula' provides certainty, real-life contains LOTS of uncertainty
• Actively put yourself in uncomfortable situations w/ mindset to learn/grow

5. Choose Something, Don't Optimize for Options

• Compound growth e.g. Snowball effect, we get frustrated when small balls don't gain traction, but going back to top of hill and not letting snowball

6. Cultivate Relationships

• Commit via stress testing
