The above image is as simple a guide to career growth as you'll see.
It comes from Jimmy Daly who in this tweet points out the importance of saying yes to a lot of things early in your career to get experience and then increasingly saying no to things as you learn to focus your efforts.
Neither side of the equation is easy. Both are important.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

"It's a simple formula. If you have expertise in a subject matter, a clear idea of whose problems you help to solve, and a product or service which delivers that value, it will work for you no matter what field you're in."
This has the potential to be the most valuable idea I've ever shared and can literally grow your business overnight.
The best part is this system can be adapted to attract new customers for just about any product or service.

"Everyone belongs to a tribe and underestimates how influential that tribe is on their thinking."
Here's a powerful question to consider: What ideas have changed your life?
Morgan Housel attempts to answer that question and shares the seven ideas that changed his life including that everything's been done before, self-interest can lead people to believe and justify anything, and room for error is underappreciated and misunderstood.
Side note: Next week I'm going to share another life-changing idea about how to measure the most important elements of your day with For The Interested All Access members, so become an All Access member here if you'd like me to send it to you too!

"Delayed choices ultimately leads to confusion about one's identity and purpose in life."
In a world of ever-expanding options, it's easier than ever to get overwhelmed.

"It's not the kisses, or never just the kisses: it's what they mean. Somebody's got your back. Somebody knows your worst self and somehow doesn't want to rescue you or send for the army to rescue them."
Imagine having Neil Gaiman come to your wedding and read something he wrote about love for you.
Who am I to summarize it? Just go read it.

"When you can set short, attainable goals you can clearly see the progress you've made and celebrate what you've accomplished rather than dwell on what you haven't."
This post was written to help actors, but I guarantee you'll find it helpful for whatever you hope to accomplish.
Your answers will help you figure out what you want and what it will take to get it.
