ADVICE

Make Real Work Your Priority

  • If you’re in college and not in debt, enjoy it but don’t overvalue classroom certainty; real, meaningful progress happens in real-world practice.
  • Use free online education and start doing projects outside class to build things that matter.
ADVICE

Outwork Trends With Audience-First Content

  • Do consistent content creation focused on audience value instead of copying trends or obsessing over followers.
  • Give, give, give, then ask — provide real value like comedy, beauty, or deep knowledge to stand out.
ADVICE

Commit To Content At Scale

  • Produce content at scale across platforms: treat social like a long-term commitment and keep creating for many months.
  • Don’t quit after a short trial; push for at least 18 months of high-volume output before judging results.
