Default paths can quickly become your identity. Therefore, we must consciously decouple from them. 2. What we’re surrounded by, we adopt. 3. Corporate life can be a great accelerator to your career, but we must control that ascent. 4. Don’t just plug into the corporate machine like everyone else. You can deliver results (more efficiently) on your terms. 5. No one really cares about your work hours, only the value you produce. So use that to your advantage. 6. Too many people are “theoretical ninjas” — passively consuming good information without implementing it. 7. Healthy person = healthy worker. Focus primarily on being the former; the latter is a byproduct. 8. “The next logical step” is often the most illogical thing to do. 9. “It’s not about the money. It’s about how you’re investing your time in the moments that matter the most.” *** RESOURCES How Highly-Paid Pros Can Pay Less Tax Connect w/ Billy on LinkedIn Going Long Podcast First Generation Capital Partners "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Check the show on YouTube
