Four years ago I tripped into yet another opportunity, building One Day Agency. As with every other I came across, I said yes. Why? The learning opportunity was just immense to not take it as with all the previous ones. And that's how I got here today after a few countries and roles as a leader of an advertising agency: I focus on learning a ton and I care a ton. Over 30% of my weekly time is purely reading and absorbing content. And applying it, testing it, daily. In addition to some "hacks": - Change jobs regularly: you'll maximise the number of people you meet, the knowledge of each environment you can get access to, your financial potential, and so on unlocking more opportunities and knowledge. - Plan ahead: pick jobs that enable you the skills you will need in 2 years. Want to be the head of the department? Go into a job that will teach you all the knowledge needed to run that department. If that department has multiple silos, you guessed it, you'll need to learn all the silos meaning at times different jobs/roles. - Acquire self-awareness: talk to people openly about your shortfalls and seek advice, self-awareness is the most powerful tool for your personal development and career. - Open criticism: how are you going to do something better if you or your environment doesn't allow sharing ideas and criticism? You won't, you'll be average. - Don't fall into money traps: some life decisions such as buying a house or high-paying sales jobs are nothing but traps. I know, polarising. Great for the short term, really bad for the long term. - Invest in absorbing content, in learning, constantly, every day. You'd be surprised what 15 minutes a day does for you from unlocking new conversations or winning the pitch. Subscribe to relevant people on your phone. What are your hacks and advice to anyone looking to move the needle on their career?
