Favourite quote(s): “INSIDER TIP: Forget the long-term career goal. Nail what is in front of you and your next step will become clear.”
“People who tell you how they mapped out their five-year plan are full of it. You can’t know. I’m sorry, you just can’t. It’s not a plan, it’s a decision. Sometimes you make good ones and other times you don’t. But the point is you’re always the one choosing the direction.”
