Cool things that have happened since I joined WIT…

I am so honored that the founder of WIT, Sarah Hernholm, recently had me on the DO WIT podcast.

We talked all about entrepreneurship, building a professional online presence, learning from setbacks, and more.

Before you listen to the episode, I wanted to give you a preview of some of the key takeaways and action steps from our conversation that you can start implementing right now. 

1. Know your strengths and work with others whose strengths are your weakness

   1. There is always someone who can do something better than you. 

   2. Leverage that and use it to your advantage so you can focus on being successful with your strengths. 

2. When working with others, clarity is kindness. 

   1. Be clear with your expectations and intentions. 

   2. Ask them to create a realistic deadline for whatever you are working on with them, or ask them for feedback on the deadline you think is reasonable.

3. When you show up and play big, do your homework beforehand!

   1. Prepare in advance so when it's time to shine, you are confident and feel in control. 

   2. Choose to Set Yourself Up for Success (WIT Tip) and practice to prep. 

4. Let your age become your biggest asset.

   1. Truth is always far more interesting and relatable!

   2. Embrace the two hats lifestyle of balancing school and a business. Don't forget to be patient with yourself, too!

5. Make failure your friend. 

   1. No need to fear it when you can use it; use each failure or mistake as an opportunity to grow and learn!

6. Give gratitude and show you care.

   1. Always highlight the amazing people who have believed in you (and what you're doing) enough to be willing to work with you.
