Post grad you find yourself working ( if you’re lucky)  and it’s great for like 6 months and then summer ends……...and you’re still working, to work, and then work some more basically you’re just working until start asking yourself what’s next My step which I highly recommend a goal flow chart, kind of like a vision board without all the images… Basically you sit down and write on a sticky note where your at today. What’s your current state or current role; this will require some reflection and honesty What do you hope to accomplish in 1 year or where do you want to be in 1 year In between that I would write what steps do you need to take to reach that next sticky note.. Once you have this down you’ll have an idea of what you want and what you have to do now to get what you want. This is a great tool to prep for grad school and a great exercise for interns!   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Unlike other entrepreneurs in silicon valley, rappers in silicon valley are doing this with no help from investors, simply girt.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
