Go Toward the Obstacles
Obstacles will come up as you pursue that which makes you come alive.
Will you face them head on?
Go straight into the cave you fear to enter.
There is treasure inside.
In this article, Tim Ferriss gives two excellent pieces of career advice as you launch or relaunch a career.
- Initially prioritize learning over money
- Learn transferable skills
“Ferriss said that if your job entails something niche like placing ads on Instagram, by all means learn how to do that well, ‘but spend equal time developing the higher level skills like negotiation, persuasion, copywriting.'”
