“You have to become undeniably good at something. Nobody ever takes my advice, because it’s not the answer they wanted to hear…but I always say, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.’ If you are just always thinking, ‘How can I be really good?’—people will come to you.” -Steve Martin
Stop looking for shortcuts.
Figure out what you love to do.
Strive to be the very best you can at it.
It might seem like the long way.
But it’s the right way.
And ultimately the most fulfilling way.
