3 Key Points:
1. Break the mold and stand out!
To get noticed, you've got to become either the best at something that already exists, or, find something new and bring it to the forefront.
Neither is EASY, but either can get you the recognition you're seeking.
2. Drop your image of perfection!
Getting hung up on the details can slow or completely halt progress!
By accepting yourself where you are now and enjoying the process, you'll complete more projects, and be more aware of the progress you're actually making.
3. Double down on your strengths
Practicing self-awareness and identifying what it is you're truly GOOD at will allow you to double down on your strengths.
When it comes to areas of weakness, Jesse recommends using your strengths to complement those areas and become more well-rounded.
