“Don’t look at what other people are doing in order to set expectations for yourself. If you’re doing what you want to do, it shouldn’t matter what else is going on. Let go of the things you’re comparing yourself to or the expectations other people have you.”
Co-Founder & CEO
I am creating a new platform to support some of the most influential people out there — teachers.
As the CEO, I am mainly focused on expanding our partnerships with elementary and high schools. Our goal is to eventually expand into other grade levels and other countries, but we want to focus on perfecting our model in this sector first. Each day comes with a new set of challenges, but I take it all one day at a time.
Make up your mind about something you want to do and don't look in the rearview mirror. Get comfortable with uncertainty and be willing to adapt, change, and learn. Learn how to be an effective leader. Know how to test, break down, and iterate your ideas in order to make better decisions.
Here's the first step for college students
Don't look to other people in order to set expectations for yourself. If you are doing what you want to do, it shouldn't matter what everyone else is doing. Know how you want to measure yourself and let go of comparisons and expectations.
