Career Mistakes

Help readers avoid mistakes by learning from your experiences.

A few {Time} ago, I asked {X} {Niche} leaders one simple question:

“What early career mistake will you never make again?”

What I ended up walking away with was a messy notepad full of notes, a completely new way of seeing the world, and {X} profound mistakes everyone (from intern to executive) should avoid in their career.

Let’s dive in:

Mistake #1: {Mistake1}

Too often, {Role} choose to {WrongDecision}.

They {WhyDecision}. They think {Logic}. Only to end up {BadOutcome}.

Instead, {Role} should be focused on {RightDecision}.

This is what ends up leading to {PositiveOutcome}, {PositiveOutcome}, and {PositiveOutcome}.

Mistake #2: {Mistake2}

A good {Role} can {GoodOutcome}.

A bad {Role} can {BadOutcome}.

But a legendary {Role} can {GiantOutcome}.

Don’t get it confused: a {GoodOutcome} is good, but it’s far from what makes the most difference.

Mistake #3: {Mistake3}

Until you’ve {Milestone}, don’t take your eye off the ball.

{”RelevantQuote”}.

To this day, I hang this quote up on my wall because it reminds me {Takeaway}.

Mistake #4: {Mistake4}

Traditional wisdom says {TraditionalWisdom}.

But that’s only true if you don’t do two things correctly:

  • {RightDecision1}

  • {RightDecision2}

Then, {TraditionalWisdom} works great.

Mistake #5: {Mistake5}

We all think we can {Decision}.

We all think we have unlimited {Resource}.

We all think we are immune to {Disaster}.

But the truth is, we’re not.

Which is why it’s much better to operate from first principles, and {RightDecision} from the very beginning.
