Accomplishing Goals
Day to Day
A day at work is never-ending because of all the sports news, events, and games that go on throughout the whole day. If you don't pay attention to what is going on in the sports world, then you are constantly falling behind and missing opportunities for content. I'll write some notes down about what I want to talk about the next day before I go to sleep. Then I review them before my shift and figure out what I will say to make my opinion stand out and attract attention.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
Find people who are doing what you want to do. Connect to them, talk to them, and build your network as big as it can be. Find out what your competition is doing and do more. Be obsessed with what you want to do.
